Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 15: Fire At YG

My body ached all over 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaxIEK7r4A
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZBVjdcMNr
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfMx60YrRv
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXbGTxjGuL
bed.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfi1530L3Z

I scratched my head as I1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lpLrqGoI0
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cpqVt60z3
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXyb99Orri
he found me here.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXz4wa8KCx

I slowly stood up and I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCnE9OJxh7
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1HVcTzYc3
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyajfzUFC1L
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FbKZx5SHJ

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwjSAiAzSW

I almost jumped in 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKkOcZzqmR
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDa41MAqJT
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNNPMUidWs
obviously reading the news online.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLgySzVcqV

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEJjjoPzR4

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfLo72Ljmp

"'Don't tire yourself 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESvVKGnM7J
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qkwobbwZa
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0aFSJVIcW

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhuQOzcBgF

"Oh, you were listening?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMedpEy1CXg

"Ya, you kept on playing1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuQCL3xTrD
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1LXe5L66Q
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuqweXlYVz

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTSnrQOKXI

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAVRzoOMBm

"For covering me with a blanket."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNtTzV5Zhx

Collins looked at me 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bivO105m8
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtq5Aeb41I
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqNUl3n6rc

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKRSPJF7Rx

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmUIx3GsiP

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzzROzZe2q

"Me too."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWBnCD9j6S

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKIjBDQxlc

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxEzabSln6

"Going to take a shower," I said.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgcxRpDFTT

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSRMO8a8Qx

After I freshened myself1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3u6Y3raQb
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd1azTHRNG
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxEFdY30Us
Collins was still on his tablet.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxxjbsJbz9

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZupscDpERA

"Nope. Just looking at 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP077UPKXX
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM9MjvPTJU
coming back late at night with the others."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvTNy1I25b

"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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBMEQJkt8U

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2jdRpL9G9

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc1dTY8CRV

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU6FB8p3U3

Collins handed his 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws3sLApys6
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1D6BudcgR
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzRuxPtfk2
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHklkoxuKp
having a great time.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecdfSDy9v9

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOp5lBHIEd

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0ILp6vjGz

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjyLiCmPfm

"They should have as 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoKDrzh70r
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnSxDiXiTn
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6QEPgwYy3

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb6zo1szb3

"No, it's not about the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzgy7Jkzgx
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WtHeBByXl
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdTBHB84E4

I looked at Lee who sat 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9nJtzRSJp
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah6svKmLNV
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdne3xiTXek
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppF9TIYcF4

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDfXt4TssL

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wu1DgFMRp

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3QiJnPM44

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn9vFjnI6h

"If I tell you, I'll 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dLN39k2Gb
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPMRoGXva4
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1BCjETCJQ

Collins got up from his 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8AtTmFm8y
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLWi4oaigX
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJPZgY7Mat
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lipx5WUvJ

"What do you know?" I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAqt2PbYFb
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNBKpHKM6X
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFjZk2g9dg
detective asking questions to a criminal.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYfCGzmbB0

"I don't know," Lee 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrFWFR54ce
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUFZsNGFI4
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBQU6CFKVs

I knew something was up 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkb29nqBB5
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkxYbX4W32
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrMwUDi6gY

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXyGhgJAFN

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFE5Z21BtS

"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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHq0LauINO

"Hey, what's wrong?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjYCI4HXfg

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjyk6J7Fgg

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeSGGXfbse

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7EtZAP6Cc

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzgYUFQfQg

"Well, kind of," I said 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwMZbjGsSc
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZHgikLmEi
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v9rr3LWKR

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIh3ciEQfg

"Okay."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRR5FkOWXY

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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2UsCvHnZH

Lee, Collins and I soon 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeo8AsjXTy
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GDfwx4aQm
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMYMOxtEfK
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyUAKj8Zrm
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGJUTh2nfH
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkIwYPmn8g

I was waiting in th 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSmE9RdIYi
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Qv3xHiSz
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzetdVJzrO
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstUO30nVgj
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxullWi19kn

I was pacing up and down1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP4BZw8Y8A
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq6F6DSBYP
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEbzpFtXVN
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6T4jqvZEH
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxizVcHVA0s
and I was so nervous.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZtPDtsfZt

"Here she is," said Lee,1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuVY3y3Rwn
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHMrZ5PyIq
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b1zWXK8B1
you, Tae."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VcvkJGS6c

I frowned at Lee and I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg55MInvHw4
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3bH7ixzuT
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPSxNqgXYG
friend.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHvv1Ecdob

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d1XQbcNYG

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebcehgRgnn

"I told Taeyang that I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiALq8NhyIZ
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXFloSfbFe
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKIHOjyXgR

"Our manager called me 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQBb3pJZwa
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0FSXT5mKo
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqUEJWMz8H
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiCoERQR9g

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj263uTwOt1

"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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxGw1b4Dqj

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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDFJFLFn4Y

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSkqlqU07X

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud5hHamFRH

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAX1RoF3pa

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOHMQheXzq

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp7jRh8vpz

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGD9a2XrcN

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLtIcBSPrY

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC08JTav4aa

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL82xnleip

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQFtPY3NXm

"Sure."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRL9FfUN9j

I gave Taeyang my 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHDyMtGHwf
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH7xfUi0br
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pibxZwksl
cute together.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47WR7IaMjX

"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."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjllDw2uCKT

"Thanks. I was singing 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHltpeT5RM
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgUR4TNy3k
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24IbR1p5fK
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hjC2y6Jww

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQoPcfmlCg

"Well...not really," I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN0JNzWjVY
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lkD1Uch9J
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F86XXgF1V

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHLW0WA6lZ

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CzAUDP36a

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE16lO8JfsC

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTCSeOEjXo

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxsOsvn3qY

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrrXeV1XZ9

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLijLYjURpb

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUwjgqE8mY

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsEZo1G6YY

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0jiinmuzX

"Right now."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE9fp8rGvw

We all turned towards 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGBwkB4joH
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ntgVk2qbG
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4dlQCmUEg

When everyone got 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn4o9CXAFY
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgztPH2C6i
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9b9SmRlES
run out of the room.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF1ppPY2Fq

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YEK9vfno2

I nodded my head and my 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3wbEfA0N7
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI9TAhM1CH
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIkh1xFCvD
ever got to play it.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI1zw1DEvS

I felt a break of sweat 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw73MpTV9R
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdjShQewZ6
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuubW6r4Dx
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz0FsWda5J
strung the strings on the guitar.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwMT5L3FFO

I started to sing as I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXJzdT69cr
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIyHeRFHNQ
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEAexrppm1
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVMxqPdFux
didn't. Well, I hope so.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9RwJJCuRf

As soon as I was done 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S7T0WTyqC
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvA0YeBCNe
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dNoRZFsKG
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJd6SzNzuk
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNjP1aTarq
hoped they liked it.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HCFIHRYRg

The studio was still 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccNjPV58rd
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi0RnbJ00H
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhTAQhTL94
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM8t8EksK3

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJMfnIAhf3
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZEbjrNtMR
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKSTm7M45J

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXFd5qVIoP

This was it. The hammer 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKOjiBFCzL
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX65uFkocs
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5al4gJWjW

"....incredible."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lKiZhT8o7

I opened my eyes and I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfDy0otSOd
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx640f9bFw
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxIaPr8M6s
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d2Bhhs8tw
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg9qDS6a8N

"I've to admit, when 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6jp3t7UZn
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtADo1iQNh
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEw8GNKLw0

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsi88Me7RW

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMfB9ZDE10

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AfoCMTSuZ

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy75ccIn111

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0P0qPeCMK

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghVzfr2RXH

I couldn't stop smiling 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXENqJ5MZ8
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonpwjpgnqT
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2tJ0bjtwB
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6MEUYjGTG
good voice and a golden one.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH5Z12lUkn

Immediately our managers1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeD0sEzfVf
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGNvbbeMi9
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkBommQ6tR
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2HOWf9D9m
musical instruments.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlHNQAFfIY

This was always the hard1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRo0PJPpJQ
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzzymQG26j
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nw4fuIWH4
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwVy3pKb4N
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Pp74oIiS

An hour had passed and I1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5kIsC4dOK
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTLr2MX22y
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDwldOEu4J
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVB3NTZJ7k
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2M7hwV0fj
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRDOdrPaLo

"It's been an hour and I1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL987O8BogG
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5vWS8ySCt
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV40Cqt8Az

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxhkiHFx94

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3jlhu0PeC

"Trust me, you're so 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlY950zvMv
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OsnsV5Txi
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO2rVjQilX

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEEJyxZwrQ

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL42eZfBN6

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh2XrCjfxY

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR6ekmlB5q

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq2drm6kay

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpVN30HZ3w

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8fCUZQVdL

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgqe4Iqh7E
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvypIwOG8tU
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrseJQ2cffl
masseur."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFkAZPLrHN

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQcvwOpq3i

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJwBMXKY9D

The music producer soon 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfjIQ2wxGC
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeohxvB5ly9
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPnHufCjFU
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0nsAucDbm
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVj9XPcdoe
recording the track.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe3UXKGfAl

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs9ZJILnWP

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVddChdqyP

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdBsSGgnCb

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdXk3DRiAf

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrQSPWlMkT

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRfnhkXXzX

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3kTkvs3LO
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPG0KePWbh
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsQEUB9jWw

"Let me guess, you're 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K8D8bbIIy
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmzvRDRcju
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpGPVdEozV

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7QIHX8BI6

Something told me his 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct7sLYKDH5
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRiW3aneOw
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQPoXvHC4m
always does.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7KonQmfmU

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8jmUHgZ8p

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9liZgba7pp

It was late in the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG36fLR8dO
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVnFQ6D1Mf
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt59qjhVKpD
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmrDixeGed
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA14uDf3s3q

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbIIplSnc7

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxzKPoZf72

I looked beside him and I1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNhDl3oUtm
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3weniqejM
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1eUUPlcbe
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Lx1Z2n06
leaning my head on the console.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb7PbGWYMN

"I always hate this part1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabLBLw12Og
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfniREYoxC
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne702Q1oyu
console.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp9KzRfdiD

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsv8KUrVss

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax8S6NzkcI

"I wonder what time."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EL0KThqoz

"Wait." I pushed my head1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSJR76sOHv
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSHsyw00ew
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8il31z1ooO
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOWO8xxhFK

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnWUCp7Fwt

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXG2oElJtK

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzQQtJWbP3

"I didn't sleep well 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cKnQhVjcq
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVrFJbBEMe
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXvXQI8Eps

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WVb03zf38

"You're right." I soon 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaaccCdUY4
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcLIUYqDAl
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjluoj1mcxs

"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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVFvTVFUpM

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnTO4m5Mva

"Alright. Thanks."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43b7XJ0ysk

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9d8qotqz0

"And so will I," said Seungri.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhNPAbGKgl

"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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E14zcQdzm

Immediately I left the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kmKXNodDf
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotqQAZxhDm
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8tAaEzH6U

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7Koc0icFg

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5YiziZpzj

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh2fkCI071

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX5JYhxqmq
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcMfjZv3jA
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsfiBJZ2me

The next thing I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfcoTBN6jT
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUQ4BthSAd
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp7oOJCJZX
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlg4JCyKrJ

I woke up by the sound 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUua4rJbkJ
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiNKHluMPp
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKSbB40cW2
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIGwBscHR9
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRXOdhpx1I

I reached out for the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FDigk6uiz
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME5Fhb2QlK
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvLXbdxntT
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QX0fg8V1s

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjobiOd0YN

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbp0gurt66

"I could hear it ringing1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqq0LpKQqj
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijIBWhmO5r
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrqrtNcVi0

"Thanks," I said as I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5lGAC2yMm
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98HQ9g8QgF
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8HPpMY3UE

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8Jm1VlXox

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn61L5lGgv

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Y3C194mh

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3a72Ub78f

Lee left the room and I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvIlPPwO0S
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykMQDlvXDg
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDnZDnzVci

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx6wUsOAbA

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE99Ypt2Kn1

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmW3kwvryN

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUGLZkMsbx

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51GiOJnNch

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7n6WvVCVE

I dashed over to the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAXHCSoNUo
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HJXgwGWoM
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ShwudIleb

It was now 10 PM and 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUnF0nuOKl
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL6ODAKu0A
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9MSN2srkL
they were right now.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpnHGrUR20

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8WxqJxD2f

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7v7zKGvfz

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyxnPZKZqk

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGdSzzTb1o

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrHujfDhAp

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mOWw416YW

"True."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR666vL6pdq

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUS34hzX6C

Two bell boys came out 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPTKwbGXv9
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCOjhQjTbB
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqIdI6miDb

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OJnvcyBg2

There were so many gift 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGFpZCOxvG
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUtFJYwxIE
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Y086VaDD
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOeAE02lg8
so pissed.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8BipR5Uyn

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeurF6nQXm

"They are downstairs," he answered.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T0jGEIjyj

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wYPiwphmK

When the doors flew 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUqRPhjM46
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VJFiWA739
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhHrE2Y1s8
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYXXx6zovu

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFvmU6lwVj

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdTLFc6YI5

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGtDmbAZLw

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AQLxxE02p

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cm5b8Vcok

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqBPaiZ3GD

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomfkxOHuyh

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyvO7BUoMu

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguxtD0EUwx

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMsIWbjqed

I raised an eyebrow. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0ROOo3jMs
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHL5OynDam
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk21QMbgcP

"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?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJFLLOWODc

"Everyone just missed 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqQFeEvxur
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKOfSZeErA
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF7xwo4hwt

I rolled my eyes at him,1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dOHGffRKa
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq0mqkFxmP
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxngGJxVB7
face when I hugged him.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSrQlGnDTf

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob1gjbcR4g

"Wait! You missed TOP 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkwRnNC71n
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHTOlzzxDm
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNpdkvSPix

I always loved it when 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPprxYNyC7k
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsJPHB1wId
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrDxdux4Kn

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nHcdLlbwe

For a moment, that voice1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQMwDMet6t
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sFrTLHKTv
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cunjI3Q0g
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaAFPa2wBk
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4Oy5lZAyD
he was still acting the same way he had left.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm4JlDCu6K

I was really confused. I1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISdTarr8nd
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oUU4NUgrJ
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL692Nm7Qg
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EX9OTlNPi
personal and it had to do with me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdZamhWztN

I had no other choice 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuu7wc37dJ
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ611USfhYKv
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEhnY8YsnK
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX5lKuZFIy

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OthddbRoc

By the look on his face,1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkJmTbit4R
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif8ecGTR41
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1qscC0etT
going to end pretty tonight.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJlZFpAEyx

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMq471EBYj

"Ya, I did."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFlWCQCCSv

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcFo3Bgoyl

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyFL6B2jXv

"Can't wait to hear it,"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimStE0xPNh
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zN5tFkWZv
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gjdPPKmNO

"Anything for you, 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvBkYl1Zyv
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTeEEXQtvb
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWNbuGUn5D
look at Zoey.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBnptzn37W

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LPDyMAzvM

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj300Ep89Xo

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPqJ3ThwkR

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK42qWZYiK

"You know Collins is 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGY2bIJimc
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXt6ukJURE
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbojqA7Qtdx
floor.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU3A6N808j

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrKXhDit4V

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QDPtLJ6mx

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5uQAI6OLE

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf699HZPdD

"We better sort out all 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P4LcmJg0O
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j4pG46rYb
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjr2Y55yev
floor.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlsFdDsJrX

Sorting out all the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNK2aUG1fc
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhriX1NkvEu
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLsTOfBpRK
had really bought a lot of stuff.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZBTZftdTQ

The boys had brought a 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgI4UX0SCe
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ493Gj26I9M
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i8lQ21mC1
expensive designer shoes.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyS5ZwfWip

As for Zoey and 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAUAFMyzke
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGazPCvBfMj
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbAc8ci9z4
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C9aWd0vx8

"G-Dragon was helping me1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEUwmS4nNO
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSRdHIx2RG
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q8unYzSyU

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MHf9RtWvZ

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fX86DZJi0

We were sitting on the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOhi0TWcUa
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZBDozPO1W
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkdA5k1iRF
stuff with Collins' too.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V6cJRK97D

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3E5D508U4

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTM86DlyWH

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1Vw3byo94

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C5vkNzIll

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABTOXtHXKq

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ9VbEDzyd

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5w87PxfHY

I distributed the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouR23rSZim
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqsbG8bsbZ
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOggUKMi5W9
was meant for me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc9OeWgKDQ

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKlMbtVKC8

"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."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaptC1WOYg

"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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G6klPxMM6

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8TgrzNTv5

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnnHxRCs4k

For a moment, time 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksrz6NbdLR
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JGQdRZ66A
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW7JYU24SZ
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG6pMz6Nd9
mess.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1frdbXdliA

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD9nhehIui

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8WYiFo0E5

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F2Xzhbg7h

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBQ6Sit9de

For me, it kind of felt 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigZAGXRNYP
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL4NFndSlD
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrq0d4rpp9
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GaATFv15n

When Collins came to the1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTvQHfbZch
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNFM92xIF5
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLugghXRia
he just couldn't.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIRKmQ5DYn

"Hey, Collins," I said.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wy2H6fkUA

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMJXYBhnYW

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3ZRgqXN4x

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD1MS2xWQ2

"Thanks."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5djQjsIqSc

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG25ZvHVQzX

"Who?" I asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbR1aBWhQ8

"You know who I'm talking about."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x2Rx1wg31

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4lNc3do41

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjcj8xZIWK

Collins went over to the1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf3jzf9gQt
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi5RJAUWVn
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GzKnaKr3L
up at him.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAzgCbMeTo

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2jrCQyhkT

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdB7tXYU3F

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB98uqvXc0

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOtopi2LXw

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dtWBNndxW

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVbbON2jHV

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDuYwlL8bJ

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw6CpNzxFb

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAyvyhaQZb

"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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr3xj88T5K

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH24qfhHGfb

"Here, we brought you an1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99GNVebRFH
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYCqDaXlKS
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZVEQZxszN

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo6SUqwJrm

"Thanks," said Collins, 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmF2OV4lr3
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAQEcIUKXs
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZBfgAXVmd

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tcbyb2FTq

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqGQIUcyO8

Lee was right. Collins 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcbCd0xqb2
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDghmK9oqo
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cRvZinYoW
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMiK2BaBLE
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3xAwKGAjC
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvgRXMKrFc

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGyMRxbrcj

We continued sorting out1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyMQKoFVDW
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmfNR0yhsw
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2Ia8SwIOA
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdrkkpdM13
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0hYS34CM2
already too late and we all needed to rest.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevgjX92LBQ

We hadn't managed to 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaqUFMvaQG
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL38KGWLcl
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoYVe6O0aD
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2pEHLW5xA
course.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn3MtAeKk3

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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtwBZjqlC3

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7DuAIuimy

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYI7yoxSUl

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSAhn68dnM

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAxDrgfvLZ

I looked at her with an 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B8hEboDL1
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea8KSlKayJ
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj9we5ei5r

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6ywl00qEx

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98KkbnZtPz

"Fine?" I looked at 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa3WrjMhWW
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYTbAz6QH4
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGqTvNIN7p
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAGCRWBLWB

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsXQkuV5Mg

"Tell me, please!" I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfgqlHhUYD
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1vDHEOb2r
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgeoXQgbXp
tell me something. So tell me!"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6FOZ5sqca

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1GdqGasno

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi71ReSMb3

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7IjzRF3iG

"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."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIheq25SZU1

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9NU2P7aVQ

I felt really excited 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFwoDDayLe
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj9M5EqDVX
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rlsqRi74Y

"I don't know how I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh00UmWjcL
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Tlnlponw
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM7RuhuSLg
Tower."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnIW3AlyD8

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwxIHP0cJi
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1hv2a2oeP
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCAjHA9BMU

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79DGghiw5G

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHPxHu6A1z

"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."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhiKh5eRbP

"What?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GgHg7kjEC

"When we got to the top 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1aILHqVtc
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg7Y90soIT
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy2NMH05gP
others had left and it was just GD and I."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbzpCWPJoF

My eyes grew wide. I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTsWBDwsnM
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdOREQkx5r
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB2Cyq34xA

"You two kissed."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTxRmqcIlE

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuWPqGwgI4

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbAQjmncIX

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbzny8v6aV

"Well, you were in one 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjShigdOm3t
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPIGiCIoKj
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUyx59vrt3

"Smart."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN1tJSHvM0

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSeweFFwjB

Zoey smiled like a fool,1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXc3YJbv78
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS75lpI5Rx
it was so magical at the same time."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xR8NzSB15

I couldn't help but 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzorcxTFDo
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD0aop0Jhj
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBh0FjuCve
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T2uZ0X59W
everyone at the prom.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcJQFZ2wc9

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IqWjboYnS

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81L3pUqTua

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxjqpXhTuu

"And? Anything else? 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXewgIJ5y2
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6ioN67Ics
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslvIMW121u

"When we were on top of 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdNpZ6doyQ
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFowfOKTnjM
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFCNQYL0v2

Well that's a bummer. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUOxvVkb98
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9JZMh7b1G
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKZHzslpCK
really liked Zoey and not me?1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM447qP1JZR

I brushed that off. Why 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNRgmu1F1e
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLGb4ETxI5
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7zJ0L1JWi
hopes up with it.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyCIAsIvky

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxke5tExhdq

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrFZveu7gl

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgELB4HdLP

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwXVUrJjIf

"Thanks, Sam."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVOe5mGbSl

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DeTEusvz8

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAogmo6LBI0

I left Mr Panda on the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqH75ba6NC
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6ftBXP7R0
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCgotylzkU
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwOFJNwa1h
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk7DHNePj9

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jiBHdKFPr

"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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrf1pKOjXJ

I laid my head on the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIpHqHQeju
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrlxW5eUvb
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSuZASw9n0
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECyicVeooy
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyZfEnsm4A
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnKR2R30OQ
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpHeEuxxs2
have been.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFovKrshHx

Zoey would have only 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsXZuLRFhH
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2bOXa3voL
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrbDKwRZTz
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ANBq5i68W

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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPpZyUshN2

I pulled Mr Panda closer1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKdHxQg9No
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qly6Cgior
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjOl8t5Sv0

***1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBMJOrkRud

I was given a round of 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBR6Iu3BP8
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjhh6FjhGo
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS9xq2Pfct
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5E1M0C7tr

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGULiWDSEL

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NBwD5ui4N

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64bE3ncKVL

"Then you better eat 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBsDxxqP7q
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lrenJGZOZ
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySm7OJAvjz

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufKv493c9Y

"I can't wait for us to 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuebnbR9Ws
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6EOAZE6GA
beside me. I could only tell why.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrxSa2nnyj

Christine who sat 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXP2GtuMri
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcnhrx0rHx
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA1R5Jxlrk
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBQIDQzply
and G-Dragon.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzkSRIRaaU

When we were done 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18QLw5jhqB
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95RdQ1Gin5
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms6nUN8VlL

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6cwrBATvO

"What is it, Zoey?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkcfE50Bfl

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7HcyrTWOh

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH34xOz3HOZ

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoajDjqIv6I

"That's the problem," 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMajK5VbwSv
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5MnavaWNM
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCEI4wLgBh
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq6jNKN7Qw

Mike turned away and 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAqtUfJnX5
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9VFqv3w8v
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZaDbM15nL
something?1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG3MV7rovo

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQY5VF1n5J

We agreed with Christine1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdNJEYEzuG
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLEPs56V6M
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LT23MLlQ7
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwnZ0VqylT

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEdijYYcq3

"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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoK979CGfR

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4K7m340Vu

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4l3F70GrM

"I also feel like I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihfx3vcw7v
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OTTbQVJWT
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG7rmjTuH7
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3uCcbbuqJ

"Do you think we should 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSkm0tfidX
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx4ORnM3MI
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0TCGvmJb1

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIorllXHUX

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPax9a5CnZ

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mWvKJHXi6

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pShA9kYdM

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1lU3DOiue

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbHCUw9GF0

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv06jKibb7d

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xbcvj927k

I stood up from the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXIdrELofJ
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vI1B77Rip
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09H938nCxu
conversation.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLyNae2DSQ

When I went back, I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJejUhEWVj
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOntCUZxISe
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai735rgnIE
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic34MCvQXA

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRufrZZmBIa

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiv8jzANki

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS76Ig8q7ng

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoz230JE6L

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRPpgE9BeP

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qZGo8G1Ff

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlap0tL9X9O

G-Dragon gave me a weird1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAMg5LpPmb
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FwenBqOgU
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYGY0UgARo
took their place on the couch.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA3yWlBpHz

"Christine and Daesung, I1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3giEnW7qB
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ejs68P1ja
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BL1jiLXQx

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93TwIRsuw6

"Ya, we will sing the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV6DyUGBj7
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS45ktRWvuo
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cliK4DtmF
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufYqK3kad4
producer has the lyrics printed out."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXYShJGsI1

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LzAdQoJOi

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FMDBCztDy

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyhwAEgsCq

Then we all went over 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoALhtucow
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Hgi552seG
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGox7I03mPr

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtTnUhuSo0

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr7NoX4ubj

"Me too," said TOP.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMcUaDVG8A

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRyhswFMxx

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6OcuCXPWb

I didn't look up at him 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM6PHPY2Sw
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXrazMSkDY
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs0u1Q7BYa
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16QsXzTqvu

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XTAbAqRSf

I started to relax my 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKInlJyq0gt
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhunn3Q8y4l
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zWBaFoi78

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6POkjPyjEb

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcngPRWZP9

G-Dragon came to sit 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KSrimz1uF
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG8yFg4rIC
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4epmhYCCS
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmwi0kigQP
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBc2rUOQOP

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox9AXO2Ydj

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6472jg39Xh

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbR5ZhxxY1

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCqbYy7ZUz

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02pwHGBFc8

"Really?" the music producer asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXAWrCrTKm

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXRAfKHo1V

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnXfIygkBj

"Give him a chance, 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaL7P8hKpB
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyvshxvrCZ
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkNcEVS94j
headphones and put them on.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjoeXuYoKX

"Okay, this is 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd9iSWhUEV
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfYl4TNFet
join them and see what needs some changing."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU00G49RcP

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhE0F67qx3

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDZBl5ZXkh

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWRMNxPKZi

The others looked at me 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnay2JCRkYH
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIjoWt7fhV
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57cNwzXaQ6

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbUXsELlBN

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcwLghASS9

"That's going to be a 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsfyVOfjpg
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwIdU6a6un
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK006zs3lhj

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6XELBQwO4

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ435UVXtqgB

"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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbNjb23zRi

I looked over at Zoey 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYiyY5IWg4
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXrYsD2WQ1
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWswJ62XI04

I put a stool in front 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuFKwB3WsR
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnogZy5RPV
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF54TYDgV8
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWqHi6gc5p
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5MP0oOYhF
others.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12MVriIINT

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs79ZnNJDu

Taeyang and I sung the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wsInVAkg3
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVdVd2xzwp
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHknPCVwew
great and everyone cheered.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOS2qApsjC

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslzxtz755f

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHBAyA4y5w

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLH05JcTky

TOP started to rap the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuNFxOLuIx
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtEagSWZtL
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4rlqURGlE
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgegXSTLIcr

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPsiZuofKZ

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP25M99CLb

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oLcnLl914

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rj5a8FAeM

Daniel and Seungri sung 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuoI2tdZXp
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HIj0raZgl
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAhhbUJImb
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X42VNg72V
clapped for themselves and cheered.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtSILlC6iM

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeWPWzg6He

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSquEXd4zh

I almost fell off the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth0cHDDti6
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe56Q2rOCOY
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1exGG9vYIj
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4fqiFmKCH

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd7fmMjs6l

"I have to say, you all 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfYtRbPbWR
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIljlIWmMG
smile. "Keep up the good work."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0kpyoQuyR

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoYAd8tYVq

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsu7qanUn9

No one said anything. We1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU0wf5A8OC
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx9ypLH6yo
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiibUsHvVKi
talking.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QDsCD2F5Q

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO48HrwPDXU

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavRLCjhd0P

That, I couldn't answer.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw3oZLmVry
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZtlEzMgcD
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGGpwjDOzd

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEoo69wnw7

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHVdP76ZqT

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh0PM53QWL

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr2kSc4cDp

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZuN7wfK6H

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGUcc4FgGl

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnuroPVDV3

"I want them back here 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SRr97qnZe
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqkxoRILTP
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWmZWL2IzE

I gulped as I felt the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOtTDEN0Kj
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpS65NdfRr
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcGv6eu1Ox
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AopXiDqzP

No one said anything 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOTFzoYJ8X
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHSD4Pc5i8
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetOhpGghoN

"Where could they have 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1C8ZwsQEQ
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0FiRCXiZ7
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgaIV0BZLB

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4w12eZ2hH

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMu3uKO3N7

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrknFg5Ysr1

"Then we better start 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YNP2h5rMz
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKx7pQt146
looking for them will be difficult."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBAlyVkj9j

We all agreed to split 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAhlLyjWCP
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4z6c70K2v
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP6oKbrSOI
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJgINBS1gf

All the studio rooms 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnK1hjgh9G
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEL66k5e99
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucWg9zl4if

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj2I8znu3h

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisuBUiCRFJ

"Almost fifteen minutes."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbAiSEfTHQ

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGkvv2b0xL

He nodded and pulled out1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMH5IcBmP1
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqu93N4W5q
walked out of it and came towards us.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgwP6mct9T

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7i8mncNIg

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3ZfkfLf9p

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOKIXaZEVz

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpJLHSVfVd

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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNX56NyBB0

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE1BeBrqDq

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7836QRcAKk

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjzBw9pdp0

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZTB3RHLaB

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOqYhbcxpt

I hadn't said a word 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmumP3bP1iu
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevfxXu2C2n
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtK7FXP5HT
but worry.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPnBhtbJra

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIrZNYh3TJ

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRN1hyvJKi

Daesung motioned his 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAqTMGy0nN
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE6aUWxhnJ
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECWlJRW4tn

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbewOkgsiE

Taeyang and the music 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxSy3VSgO3
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy1g3oWfMB
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBpXODxu2N
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsdPyShNnl
and angry at the same time.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctyPh5ziG3

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUlGEvFhV0

I looked over at Daesung1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoR5t5Jf70
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ262FNvCgo7
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDarx559pl6
the play button.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuvNpq4DYI

***1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOtWL0LVjE

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5X491Rnmf

I came crushing back 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoNuFs8p1p
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu50WNw8mD9
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP5yjZocok

I had so many mixed 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrGj2fqVGO
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bgrltKsso
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCajeaCJFd
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YwGJelEdE
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRL5I0sA0y

I could tell that the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeiQIKeZA9
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGBCGNBosX
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NQdedDq3p
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVIWX88BSK

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohrPdEbc3w

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqYdzt6BxP

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwYFtZrDSD

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzVqrIAe2K

I folded my arms and 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaabfwXi0EZ
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVmbwxQINT
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wk2v9BiRP

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCLcNNvrOS

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPiXXqnP14

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBke1AAA4Rb

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLG9a4bF1x

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf24r12gwQ

I could feel the others 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6mqV7CxX0
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT1PjLIhJK
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunXqPQJOym
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsUY8Qq4oa
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8WQL6cpG3
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeGQqQBxQF

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhIMJnW5EU

"Okay." I nodded my head.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNYG95oPUg

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VDEgn3N1Z
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVksARvS7u4
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekhT7ATldb

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbQgCK2JQr

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSIqfq7TaF

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXUnmGmqqT

"Not until I hear what 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsyWIrL7dw
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7hxMTbSG6
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wIqjHVjMH
trying to calm down.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBpQ1578iU

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61NHkAugpS

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBBpHEbtFz

"So that we could get 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSThCyQmG9
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHdsgu46ya
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpLmMpWxRA
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JNgtC0G5Z

"I agree with Sam," said1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDGlPnxaBP
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys7tJnNFPR
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb0Nv8FgXU

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNpoGn8AJO

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMXIiMKRgw

The rest of the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8OoU1cqbh
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NXYi1N8Hj
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BZcekBfAJ
playing cards.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGMDsWXvYR

I was leaning my chin on1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76G09ANm7w
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoRvw0mIg1
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS9455j37p
especially to me.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP31B3uVEUE

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6uNqGlDwE

I suddenly sat upright 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxomrIS6EG
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9J2d8tvDF
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFYrMmrWRY
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpHNjW0ifG
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNzt0D3APc

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9lugggADZ

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg13IMY7S1

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OQMCO7tIQ

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zzJ6lbT3T

"Maybe we can just order1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIuzJLfIHU
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNrE8Cj72z
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbdP6nVQoN

"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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIXm7qyekJ

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunoI5CWpb2

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgivtWYAaJe

"I heard that Zoey and 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYMnSLHrdu
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oLjNYSg7C
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyhN1a4CfA

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62SHkWjxBN

"Then it's a good thing 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe8akIvIKB
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJezhQJxZMg
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDpBike3Di

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciIdP30GJW

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWBqlmI6wp

Everyone soon dropped 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16HSsu6Lnr
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Xg231NYd
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a76FqF0wt

I had never eaten pizza 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66NfrZOB8m
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkGzWh2VF0
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoF5ZoSAXo

We were done finishing 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkL8grzpvF
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSusUw39cj
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Al43KIg5

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL68HM51VLt

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG0MhyNlEL

We were huddled up on 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdybgKtdae
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSwUKtq1NX
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNic2CJpr4r

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi7eeHxvf3

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzYNMawj46

"You lied? About what?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd4DU1pOhB

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH1jv7eEyF

"But why?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnrfGepg5M

"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."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYYfaUG096

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?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfX0q1aoux

I didn't expect Lee to 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZU8GaYp2r
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGEGbteywT
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALaVw5Nlny

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwInYWqLAML

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6msBG8jEU

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGz9DgnT0V

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5MoU7xRx0

I stood up from the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTdEjrz0z6
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbg99muqgH
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnhKAuDEn1
later.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtNVWgXytP

Trying to find the right1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SyWxnqjH7
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZX3uriJgx
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq7Ge8DUbQ
what for, was the question in mind.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOlqCAcwtQ

"Aren't you going to 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasqARbjxQT
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EshYLv6Gf
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fx6xnPQQY

"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."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rSjrrt1OQ

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1iKpIFjAB

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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUoQYQWGbX

Lee went on to look at 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOsyj62kFj
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNKwADgozw
just thought they might be arguing again."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrouh46Oatw

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yLYMTRgF2

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErHAD7XfQD

"I don't even know what 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbBjdxYUhb
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UOT7fbZh4
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoI2Y8bqWQ

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJHPPuwQNl

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2Evy4Miwl

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GqhLrNqrB

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB888uybui

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeMHA5iv0H

It only took five 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NLm6R1TbW
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Udt2u01fE
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzdxhAVFfx
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehwNfTOaCV

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8LirmOpRe

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t1yDBid6l

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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehKv66iH4Y

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4u72Zak08

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr9FncJ6CO

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYoO9hNjQp

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bSq6YturO

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL2iwz59bk

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIiGC5SKwu

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC8W5jisEf

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlms1YSqYC

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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIDUIJ5c00

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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUQSDGo3ZA

"Why did you this?" I asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRVHbArepj

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGLgCp0KSE

"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."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ugvdNHXey

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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Zcr7LpYr

"The instrumental is in 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3VZJfvdOq
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrwALknSuE
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tfh7ef6e2
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyxaxTbgKQ
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZgEtPwxyK
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa8s1xBVll
pissed."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3aSVNBIPK

"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."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpBuEftlMY

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAneJOcz27

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVwvaR9uXo

I looked at Zoey and she1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfZz98mrNO
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlA3lDDkd7
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQH0huCFRX
was mad at me for.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65TjWO2EqF

"Now is not the right 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqpbcGoANe
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2X9BOnACn
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaRXAye5oP
understand.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp7jeFf8gh

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tq8jXOhgQ
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQwV27sl7P
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3txWcBKLr
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr61dE9qCN

"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."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xp3fZomBj

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8cquN62lB

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK0KE78ujv

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdLQmUNoa8

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDzFjw1zkD

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7zMJ3BCom

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ3jpXs7pC

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OJJIhw3sM

I paused with my mouth 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhldiZaQwc
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNDVP3QQSc
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNOclRL9ud
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI90EmdnVb

I looked at G-Dragon and1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDmqt2LGLJ
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi13hz41TV
face wondering what he was thinking.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxV7MPEMI1

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhDsPMQ6qD

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFhVLeeY8I

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zqhw0GPGB

I smiled and Seungri 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eXqgbgmVR
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsknAgF3Nj
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKzLMwmWg5
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDmyKYPqZr

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WNgOOiSoi

I smiled a little more. 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NigaCbItv
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0WXThATpN
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGl1l8QpCz
were at war again.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEtBLQK353

"But we can't start 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq6DOsWoAn
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPyO2aJsAe
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Q2Wmlweh

I sat upright and alert.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWpOI1RV0h
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeeU42NLTF
have to record the track the day after?"1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchko14KR8y

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKXucZXEQd

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡencU14b8LH

"But why didn't you tell1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk8XrPaSmJ
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwpbhIoGuS
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNDggny1H5

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWDkRGUqDd

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO8OppcUUV

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfj6HAlwsE

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DJ8xOKmaG

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBCgpvWPcV

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxq71pFSBH

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ3HUkuxJT

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplZH9FltXc

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI9eXslHXq

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1EbjJpIns

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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOz8KaSqM3

I turned to look at him 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtq5kPQeUE
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSVf2qXz8L
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhORJ7vdfg
me like that.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e0uVWQ9xQ

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tZul9R5NV

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KYqoiiEOt

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9g0nlbSR7

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpSjHg8nWb

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9G1Kuhpkg

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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSGgwBB1IU

We looked at each other 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0EIFXa2Nv
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6crSdDjPr
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnehD7Bj9MD
Maybe he also felt the same.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDd378vcDh

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.1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ025o8AT7Fi

I then realised that I 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqD6X3Rhaz
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt0ck26mlg
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1092Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirNISfRXaN
another time.
