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 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSp2q6IRec
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1gyiJF5NX
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNm0rogxQD
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCqVdPXC4r
bed.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ420heljXP

I scratched my head as I1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM5re0pgvm
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQb93KF6mr
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvKojolA8g
he found me here.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PtzLrQHml

I slowly stood up and I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIPBpBf1nh
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH5U5kQliO
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqF8Ea8rGZ
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFstin9pz5

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN2yRK62sh

I almost jumped in 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM1OkoiP1t
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwfRi3tLWa
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOUCJdNfb2
obviously reading the news online.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqqaeER7Vn

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCYCm4hiZ6

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9oe1HWway

"'Don't tire yourself 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSQz2gYIh9
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyD0h3avoW
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrqKdZpzko

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb2omGx1Tw

"Oh, you were listening?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHhiB07zi5

"Ya, you kept on playing1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdiJnHchBB
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QbwtZqId3
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkowrOeDnxe

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV721ETvOK

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAOLGLIbpJ

"For covering me with a blanket."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4jpYvh9so

Collins looked at me 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1hVPrefJa
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQCPKhfMku
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuTfRBA6xk

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeB4CVWxzc

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a16Mfl74p

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTbDC1lpF3

"Me too."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQYcNLLfNh

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1dZ7dnkNH

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6NflDLPu3

"Going to take a shower," I said.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqu4izUS79

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBSVLpmAsT

After I freshened myself1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBYiJuIHVd
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9s9miC6XT
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYC14YZm3n
Collins was still on his tablet.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4aO5LiXu7

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHDA5w8N5C

"Nope. Just looking at 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sZYnaxFaY
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQRI705PvF
coming back late at night with the others."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmi3fVHKep

"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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI9QL3BspM

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0WCdXjYCv

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLrbCSebZC

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKk4hJXv3S

Collins handed his 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK4NkXJgAl
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCjeE6Hhe3
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VPpMhJD3T
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJO87XJnVC
having a great time.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwF1w30Zax

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQAlhSckFy

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVgPQmUKqm

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmZevtNjTb

"They should have as 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBByEIGQKKY
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbsrtjatfZ
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdYCneFDzl

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnFTJvEaIv

"No, it's not about the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDSKx7poQ1
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMHfCx6S5K
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoxvNBnpwz

I looked at Lee who sat 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE1MlOHb3a
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD2Q6yU82M
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4jEDJV6r6
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLorxAMyIyB

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRhH4K4Q45

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvJKMdvpXv

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgbEd6NasI

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nxxxuWJ3A

"If I tell you, I'll 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcoQEoTPcw
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOJnpNIYVF
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLnbyvLydh

Collins got up from his 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTetUmPUvpd
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZIB8stAkg
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDjXAO0d6y
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbkhAXxQzX

"What do you know?" I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YKSXxmcRy
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gY6JguTKq
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmIMGGwmJF
detective asking questions to a criminal.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPl4Ze4AnU

"I don't know," Lee 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3emqrAD5c
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj7IWrxlIm
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqesH1B0L5

I knew something was up 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgSZ7hd67x
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLwr9KH6Vt
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFVm0BQxqL

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn09fxasgD

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v4h9o2p2x

"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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmERKKIpGd

"Hey, what's wrong?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P62LfmXcD

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6abilmqWqo

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvlZpjDl3L

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0PQaGhiWl

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAWHomzocK

"Well, kind of," I said 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm6n6nks84
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkKKoEJEq2
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfbcIkMSPk

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUJQSs3Lek

"Okay."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGmgwJiFci

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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fc08o2PCZ

Lee, Collins and I soon 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ5N65U6Bw
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDwI6erATc
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPX4ArjEq9
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8cTbFtt46
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrBe2eKxjC
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0LON0Dq11

I was waiting in th 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3QcOzq2e1
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUzMPaVaZg
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyIJGPhL8s
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqsU42PZj1
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YJDsSmTLO

I was pacing up and down1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT8OwlUEyB
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfu6Jx5bnT
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE6PbPWwJe
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZkQn7L3dN
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZLpJHSpd2
and I was so nervous.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEcdEOHGk5

"Here she is," said Lee,1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXg3iEtk5W
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0ofpcXW16
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRm87xiYBH
you, Tae."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEA05GKSBH

I frowned at Lee and I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt26flusJe
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8ETp4AhgB
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SocgPAukG
friend.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAhnrExwkH

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8ycYgrWqn

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBgktMhal1

"I told Taeyang that I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVD65i2Fub
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg0yHwsIDP
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cMAvtGWrA

"Our manager called me 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqaA9oAUbw
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrENAmYMs6
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZMpmvB0Bu
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2237le2FZN

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFzalnbe62

"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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2lDiG9Wc6

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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFEfaL9AI8

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY7i6YS8Rp

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5itM5DQnc

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F05jtirQA

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zxPRfZiBb

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1QLgnogOk

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSdGG9GXhm

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBjWTYxa7k

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiebhhsEPb

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyZ3mqYaBT

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo4BxeGxl5

"Sure."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfuv2nAbLn

I gave Taeyang my 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX38RihkwVD
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMkABf2zK7
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4wyy1aphe
cute together.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQSEi05mJc

"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."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVoRgoAeIp

"Thanks. I was singing 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8UuogjAOf
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8ALuAP9d5
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWRI5bQCiB
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyx5UpIVWR

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArLsD2Lomg

"Well...not really," I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbl2ZLDQ1q
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWLa3Fh90j
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjjkdl13pt

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsQla7TJqk

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqQtE9PRju

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2FaFA2xM2

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EJfseJm1Y

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzmy6L76lL

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiC8nE9y5X

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq8gB0rOGn

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkecW8eWx8B

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB8q8EKNpi

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oZNQQnqV2

"Right now."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL58USNKsj

We all turned towards 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Qw3EAz59
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VazaKCEQz
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA5CzMtzKt

When everyone got 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD03TfLdTCy
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxdSe3sshV
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxTtsrRM2l
run out of the room.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcaIiDEvrD

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupFC3OUbzS

I nodded my head and my 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4vlZZBikq
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyvHNAbAgc
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oObBOoAbE
ever got to play it.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxXy480eZZ

I felt a break of sweat 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg7ks5XvuI
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3DHgI9VDK
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ejOteDcJd
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUXCmlLPGp
strung the strings on the guitar.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphr3FZXMYU

I started to sing as I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrOMVxUEgR
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhxtxslIeR
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwOxp43Hor
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07aqjjp4mB
didn't. Well, I hope so.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC29WvVXhqI

As soon as I was done 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvO9Ryt8E7
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtzslbKLXi
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1yJd6t4pf
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2vcJ4pqU5
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFMtqMsyD3
hoped they liked it.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOy3T5IH7u

The studio was still 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21WsDJn79F
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO744OHJJ7O
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERyAVMpKtq
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02c3e9YJp3

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidG5j2Xq3l
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7L8x2xjZj
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZCgKiCNOJ

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtV5VFdujM

This was it. The hammer 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM6Zhhk0D2
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVhpPqCb9q
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPAiCXdr3L

"....incredible."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoASIsoYVh6

I opened my eyes and I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7XC9qtkG2
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvCtuV74Yn
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpXDJMC1WV
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ12d2zb5In
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNpmNkF9m4

"I've to admit, when 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGWr0w0Sis
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEH7Bk36WE
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaDKkII64e

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN6Uqbk9BN

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28d9f4GbEm

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsd8uqa6vF

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf5FVD7LRx

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCmUGLnYqU

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEWtJ5Nv31

I couldn't stop smiling 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6oPObfulD
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrDE7rGg3v
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31pMX7IRjm
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeLBIthQsr
good voice and a golden one.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtQOdyQhEq

Immediately our managers1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9geLEMtAH
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLC7ThPRwJ
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFXgYikmAp
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRMmihFFCB
musical instruments.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJKRBBm93k

This was always the hard1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCDQ2GvL8z
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenKk2uyPrv
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPoPAMX5pr
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeXSCQuhho
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzK6W5XX2oN

An hour had passed and I1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52IqFEWTTg
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHcIFrRDLa
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY3g4LZprK
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujntS9tntE
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxacOFfBQTA
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K8nJTqGoc

"It's been an hour and I1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlgM8PsPpN
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4do43Hevnl
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjLcfzTOKO

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXQigwTHkF

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LcXDAf3R8

"Trust me, you're so 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS8yQi4dzz
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwr56t1Yxx
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKpJexVCX3

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlqHl9NZOD

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4gXnKzxss

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1oIaSNe14

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8DJLRoyrb

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKuuXhQ8nD

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqdrnv0Hov

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJsTFpadbj

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzS9FYMTGw
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5HBsckV02
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVyLCTL7bY
masseur."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRSwBSdBfs

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T1gGKTVQx

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOWYDPV90l

The music producer soon 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgTjQ6spPr
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWhrksGsqD
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2ywOkO6BT
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfMCDlZZdb
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKSQVSAdUQ
recording the track.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY6PrMgIRB

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDmaeMJBsZ

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GHq72t2yF

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgCLLNUxb7

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37D3ebCjeQ

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWCWwPZoqG

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkunx1LK9eK

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0nHt3oq34
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQiAovRpEX
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGdxO4JSg8

"Let me guess, you're 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECJXbnkVJE
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4yRa9jNGx
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tHVjgquIU

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9ZZuxNAvk

Something told me his 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHGJzpokV9
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5MYsgVgh9
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ276BsQyNMk
always does.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNxlEvAH2j

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8UEpIG5PH

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSxUgSuqw2

It was late in the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvECUxb46zv
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrswZ2SEWN
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmx8806s6e
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO4gCwDOgN
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIl4CQdJCF

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquVPInQkmK

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8nYDeMYZD

I looked beside him and I1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTpFRMkcbD
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9zYDn2yn6
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBSqwgu2w9
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY7CrYCNTz
leaning my head on the console.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0piXUZRZH9

"I always hate this part1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6IBv5NmHO
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK7HvOklZg
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h7eShbkaU
console.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5GyfZ1hZ2

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaaWtIWJ50

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTIgbve2jE

"I wonder what time."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNtMmUfiJV

"Wait." I pushed my head1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G3lhDj3fa
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GzrTm9iR7
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjLKXUuyvM
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd96ewWSnWk

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinFj2aLZeT

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP8ay0GRiV

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hleBiF7jA

"I didn't sleep well 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b7JwEBKtx
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWBejstPor
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkJ4RT78h3

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTxqOCPQDS

"You're right." I soon 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX12ZkdiSl
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlU8FWKPbr
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRhitWSz8T

"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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ845RRtsQu9

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q8m91XjsC

"Alright. Thanks."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhXslXEQgC

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcIsQxGBKy

"And so will I," said Seungri.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1PeTCnvSc

"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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI7CtFi4m3

Immediately I left the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cPkbnOV5R
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS9vXdIyqE
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q6F1VwFao

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WZmO0DJIL

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBTWAfAiir

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSRlblXN2M

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYpx4d7Lgc
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcgWTEEpZf
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXxbtvklz4

The next thing I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzj681D9Hp
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXf5jMXMxS
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlbmT8n8RS
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iTJVQbry5

I woke up by the sound 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOCwB6j0RP
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bwe0O49BT
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWx1MMujQc
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQrZSKoyNk
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF2SLbFnSr

I reached out for the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jlkc0DIry
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C273OcKSe
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBazGcpfVzJ
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfxqZoK2WQ

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoH9gyj5Vj

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOC4zgMQe2

"I could hear it ringing1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9TfApvoFS
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysmVYi20qA
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXroBh1kvPi

"Thanks," I said as I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7rMzmb8WO
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijS0xojnex
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVezHZDiMv5

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI63QAyTh6

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNPKl2r8xs

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl2xALvCza

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSkELCJbq0

Lee left the room and I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL19GZ2WUue
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPUdeHFNKs
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4H9y2w7j4

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfIQpphRNJ

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrX2g50Yg3

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvJaD8HHHB

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn87a9spyu3

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCOmMK9Qyq

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzlIoA2Te8

I dashed over to the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOoLB6fzsp
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMlonbg3Pr
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw8E2uKCtf

It was now 10 PM and 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJunM6D2cL
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA8klKftd1
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH9sNu1MEs
they were right now.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsrSDAkTAP

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0HkSsRY5N

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG5gNaDBGq

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1hj5putYG

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm8tE5ICv1

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAed3FthzF

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzKq7C5SBt

"True."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR2OsHCrKh

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgKWKBjlT8

Two bell boys came out 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggEcbxcRyF
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGLlvtxP2R
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKHjndTaR7

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HMkmW5C3h

There were so many gift 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM1WQSqHio
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkI8MdtpMy
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T8kmQzct5
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVd2KYeU2x
so pissed.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcMCFWeVA4

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlYslFv3mp

"They are downstairs," he answered.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9jaQkYcMn

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cqgyEc8t9

When the doors flew 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ4yj2094g
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdDRF1D0EL
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nIoBZFtFC
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc9WUFjQw8

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaVDaUBoqI

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61IdcNLlaJ

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6pHn3lEfg

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqNZaAm1fs

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxnYKqPyGR

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sJBe8C567

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5AJLwAiA7

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOILogYpls

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgclcNRGf41

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ysskyUTQt

I raised an eyebrow. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Sg9iJTYK5
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0JHxltmju
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIYVZS7utv

"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?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTHT5RpOZO

"Everyone just missed 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6ieEfmTHv
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlxLOzpYDS
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiyoKCTeTU

I rolled my eyes at him,1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLoQB8f73c
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlGqeGHPVm
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcALc4Am33j
face when I hugged him.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzYDF4VaCi

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsYxSxvCW5

"Wait! You missed TOP 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX21q2ioWJ
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxF0WAgBL6
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4Tqb7Uk85

I always loved it when 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKg6vpsNc6
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FZskt1s6h
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iSP5Nttxu

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZziXIth7LB

For a moment, that voice1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2SyyfjYZZ
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIerhOGke2
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sX8HkYaIk
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eLddWwt4p
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhoLV25RlK
he was still acting the same way he had left.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpvWzpJrYS

I was really confused. I1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi96k0ADj0
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XcxrGOezy
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8lhzUCZA3
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg71d6unvo
personal and it had to do with me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEDUetHwmL

I had no other choice 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGFUjw2QsR
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95HPh6qodz
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnodGOjKiJX
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCo2CT7ZV9

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwAadSxZen

By the look on his face,1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof2PsZqqsF
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA2kuucvAD
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCGRLhyxts
going to end pretty tonight.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJYc4dsZe1

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF2YAunFwQ

"Ya, I did."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbs20R4wcR

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtkVvO0UWA

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBDSqR9Dua

"Can't wait to hear it,"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx72LLWlM6d
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuDAMx4EnW
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB8Yduqw7f

"Anything for you, 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfSegGzK2S
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkEOHNTJaN
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5WBEUSHcC
look at Zoey.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHJK7eygIb

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuZx4QjVbC

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBSarfiqv5

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60ggdFjNNk

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmIZ2L708Q

"You know Collins is 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSGjff88LM
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1BczuhQYd
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVifpzMQd4
floor.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbaXeRNDUI

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAEAjLShqW

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTXfYw2RhN

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUjOP4HSG0

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7QvebOcvy

"We better sort out all 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumXMWQBH3n
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfU8pg4vn4
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYJ1VWOXpP
floor.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Eg3N7FXVY

Sorting out all the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoPpd8hs2W
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYq9Kqf5Jr
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s6FXuoe2b
had really bought a lot of stuff.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b2diD1f4o

The boys had brought a 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuQ4a8Am7a
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0YA2hwP4V
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv2pXGWnqo
expensive designer shoes.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtouPeWs0cN

As for Zoey and 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tVd7Utzar
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrZ9RQdb5a
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EncsXJH8r
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCoTRXObyO

"G-Dragon was helping me1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KYn2KJIrs
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYOvHwWIoP
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YUeAqMjB3

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxNFF3Ncsr

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvp6uPsdsa

We were sitting on the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKWeLFjevD
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm6BnZS4MW
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgl0RxNs2n
stuff with Collins' too.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnHqAEnGsI

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoda76kPEb

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrIpW4Cxf3

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaZrbRpW0m

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaZtjmfphs

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0IbOgyaoJ

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnFz7y2RsV

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRQ3dEY9mi

I distributed the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqSqYaKXca
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cPlx98VVN
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKlS95BnbK
was meant for me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRAX9pLgX0

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBNXj0myRz

"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."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iQUktAvmb

"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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjrnqa9dIA

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsgV38yWLv

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0D7H9lPeI

For a moment, time 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrleyQ47D9
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd1EKJDdZx
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL5wMj8Cdd
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHuuMj31V3
mess.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBS0CSmFeL

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27pw9nHpgx

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWWEAjBSK8

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O7V42y0Id

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYQGmlZfbV

For me, it kind of felt 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJaaG0Pk0Q
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmglW4wvxpI
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TQpNL3Hnw
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZgaMTUyr9

When Collins came to the1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmgyluAZDX
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sH6GdAU4l
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeA0NNDpVN
he just couldn't.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA1TuCo4LO

"Hey, Collins," I said.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqMxpcm9r5

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxbccGlK56

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9v4x7iIb8

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N3D1HoP6o

"Thanks."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozxfzS6dBt

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMT793BXl3

"Who?" I asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S7pmbIsQK

"You know who I'm talking about."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacLgvl3ZTT

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiKMIIQXMr

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv6L4p09JS

Collins went over to the1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwjtwqT11D
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKy2PJbFGB
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgXgzrXz2C
up at him.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez7IY9tiLZ

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO7H5XpNTb

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBU1bcH2nA

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTRWbWbULS

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhjYHqaxGC

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpTL4jMu8j

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7dfJuhaj4

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EVY6urtEf

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuTukhWXQ3

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML9XI9f1pi

"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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3k4aG1Rfm

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyu5F4N8MI

"Here, we brought you an1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIsdMuf3on
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWjuYV4ugy
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTsS1E8LWs

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmargDBjumR

"Thanks," said Collins, 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQgpa24At8
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDLVBJgK4g
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyEtwqkgB4

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGb7DK5AXQ

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdX0yTpc8F

Lee was right. Collins 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpig5iDVIOb
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViz6riES4H
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZutwBR8uD
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwg9VkXcQp
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPPUWpnTZk
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y6riBXOWq

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqLRr6PaJx

We continued sorting out1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuWOWRizXb
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvQyt8NAI3
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakt5R4zQEb
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYZvAMILWN
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSRDV3NRU3
already too late and we all needed to rest.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Ophdynax

We hadn't managed to 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAkgSPkvQ8
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg2jcOOjEP
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0yYOsuGoW
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zaF36bcdC
course.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PRNg19AH2

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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNcIKYUWcY

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGGQ0rpRG4

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVZsv7KSBQ

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPtzkFrpaZ

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapHV8VVan4

I looked at her with an 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28MZtQcGDE
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fnSAjDoww
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEODcdyxJgn

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69DIGdG4LX

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcquwH4iLQ

"Fine?" I looked at 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb22zUrvHZn
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3K8VrhZc3
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sCO7xR05i
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdcb9L9EfC

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pcfSX545w

"Tell me, please!" I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcC1mqm9Nc
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9zS4jA9Sz
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwI9Aukos3
tell me something. So tell me!"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9LLfpeANt

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeVSwNTIWw

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95xoLljXUB

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvi5akVY7T

"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."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdVuPVDWwp

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCftc6TKAA

I felt really excited 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZPqSjE4CV
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg36T42RNv
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSEO9VCY82

"I don't know how I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuGOrM5rPh
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPMvM7xBuh
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2i7yaFmeJ
Tower."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkh15jGVeS

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E1k4cOEPy
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAt84GLI8o
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1bCN4WrTc

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAgZMVrzLV

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs8YSrDMvn

"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."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz3bI1ORqI

"What?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY9VBDEkOC

"When we got to the top 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP6hjMppkE
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCHnoKhZ1g
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl8LMWGwHX
others had left and it was just GD and I."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8EHrSeZFg

My eyes grew wide. I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFh2jvnAbV
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeuvrM4haM
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXHLkP2inT

"You two kissed."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv8I2bCmNr

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdejYLXIwHy

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfzebS94cw

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3EnlXTq6U

"Well, you were in one 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdlgvjqN2T
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCdkhVe5Cm
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JiPWzTFnh

"Smart."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlW9tqfJ7D

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXvs2JHeeZ

Zoey smiled like a fool,1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6AC1uAS5Q
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSXT6FGYPn
it was so magical at the same time."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5QqlOzTXD

I couldn't help but 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFCnaiVKQu
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8nvUv8WKh
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJvEk7sqNy
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM0DTSzzey
everyone at the prom.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk356MQrJI

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevzLWL0co3

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnvGHO7U7g

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA7w5gz1WZ

"And? Anything else? 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zy3ebNJ8U
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZakoOPer2v
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYrsT0N7Pp

"When we were on top of 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrALFuZwV6
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGboMHiSfn
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCVnmJdMWV

Well that's a bummer. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjGQUXKdmY
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3PfdpBxfI
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl8OV0QVQ1
really liked Zoey and not me?1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7DJnEGcAB

I brushed that off. Why 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplg6KJurXv
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CsGD7pavk
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoWuXsSbSb
hopes up with it.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau5J2GAP4I

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PqmDdGado

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VafybApHV

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvohYmTMHby

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgtPqHzfVg

"Thanks, Sam."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Jd3LZBuC

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ntmENLqtw

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZmtK1yo7O

I left Mr Panda on the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlUnTGpQjC
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzETwVnuMM
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz12PdkFlQH
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFQztD0jpd
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6Nnx5pLLz

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswTeALsCRN

"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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcrcb31TMw

I laid my head on the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa1YBeFIWO
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw82FYbbO7
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5TcfcOhSN
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk7KSYrYyi
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb8V1feCLA
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkHMp2ZFP6
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh3hQjhr1O
have been.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehV7PKelfz

Zoey would have only 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQjXj4PkwP
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwJx7lA57y
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4WmjqwVHt
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ6jJKhkR9

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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oqZvO9OfV

I pulled Mr Panda closer1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofaLxjfYk4
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOFEwQcMDO
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9SILa6432

***1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sgOA2CCIi

I was given a round of 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yz7vvbRLj
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoINN73Q2Jj
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wKSfZTTiW
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LOL7DhsGE

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL89ts6YvwM

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoVxQb3B91

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2oFAPRCWY

"Then you better eat 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP4JfTiNyA
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXYNcR2hVp
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkpjxd0zJP

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoeWmzzGpn

"I can't wait for us to 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvYcdK88zA
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxvykxyzac
beside me. I could only tell why.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKxK9lWLQL

Christine who sat 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHsG2BMrRu
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtqAhvX1mY
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwhCyEg1fQ
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BH6dTbLCG
and G-Dragon.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkdHrYfQJr

When we were done 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERmQVaA3IE
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOSsXFfQtv
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCIf4FMdKj

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcshObuINK

"What is it, Zoey?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0kAjIu1TT

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvtWM8AVS2

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgyt5607cW

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRTZOjqAlT

"That's the problem," 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSsTyDXIIy
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE5tG2EhS8
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TcfMWqZZz
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE84v0Kpsnm

Mike turned away and 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB5pbuk3Qc
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyHRJjKftI
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHldNijuwX
something?1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigIC492LWV

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QvMRvWcPU

We agreed with Christine1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVT3xZ2CeV
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUKCrT61Ci
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtWcuXF51M
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EE6yqhpPd

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHpoBTa87t

"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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbPBEo1e4t

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY72c1eognc

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T6fvOqi9h

"I also feel like I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzFrM0MCWD
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ4ZdUYhJp
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzE0pQiiWM
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgEwhiY726

"Do you think we should 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qv8JNublg
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoYLqxicLA
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S6sxDvXnm

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F66PLPpw9

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDSLp9wJrL

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkToguOWWmZ

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeKCPQUdzi

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzpuKU29iu

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx0Bb6wbEF

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA4PoO11Oi

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Crj3nnZ4e

I stood up from the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAVc3PUVQO
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXZ1MfTg70
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCpWnkwVK1
conversation.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kRrQ9GxBv

When I went back, I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenUWCMbyRs
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjNeW1XSGY
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjfwFtb1kA
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR24aUeTeA

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZhvg68vpn

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZx7nBaFFZ

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotEa7GxqVU

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kh193KeJm

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpn48uV6WH

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhoQdXfug6

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCihx00dB1v

G-Dragon gave me a weird1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgLj37PHH6
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWNVqqSUxm
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyzTCSuoPW
took their place on the couch.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGOnb4sVd4

"Christine and Daesung, I1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHs4P11gnR
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF423CDbKNS
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa94hz6RAhL

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ULlhHAy9t

"Ya, we will sing the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgrWa01E11
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgLptKXHsy
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnpVpFECbQ
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cPMhmuOBQ
producer has the lyrics printed out."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xZev0JFbA

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkTo6Q5Svs

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoaSTVhGmi

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXSRNtzeZx

Then we all went over 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3peVS2Xwd
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDCz8C8hhb
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiWr4rq99y

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ7QGilyxt

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWnAP8SCN1

"Me too," said TOP.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTHKlANUV0

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45j5aZIRkf

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpJBhjFCql

I didn't look up at him 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk729FB3dcw
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRJ5AiVTm5
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDW6dmhArj
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSUWWRdZV1

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0yUkCC2ZD

I started to relax my 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPEvWHrv3T
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7p67UtMoF
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WZPzeSGu7

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTsy4CTWqV

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDedu8OTddP

G-Dragon came to sit 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NRgN69wTj
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHSLe0kxEk
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kGagxT8gy
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kqo4wJPH6
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqgKqowEax

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjFvuR3U0c

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZlehxCpQE

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnvysXDnOc

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRpYh66AAB

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow0uVsCbnZ

"Really?" the music producer asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD6ordLDVd

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgZeZAbRuy

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp0B5Yibdt

"Give him a chance, 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTlVSZhr3L
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF0eEVHkoQ
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPlpUBZgtm
headphones and put them on.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjraKVscuXp

"Okay, this is 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFKgb9ufoy
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MOYcRQHus
join them and see what needs some changing."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eeOobuFs6

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGWHRX67sL

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KBVVFKgrH

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC5dAwcKYd

The others looked at me 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAVwTzMDZh
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIF0mPxY0w
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCTOJlXagP

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobTIREP8hJ

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPeXNE5M5C

"That's going to be a 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEj2tacAuJ
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCUeC5WMC1
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBSj1D77OX

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFEMNC0VTE

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KcbUH90Y9

"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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU92Q7RpuNI

I looked over at Zoey 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBYmf2S4fC
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9FYeyKuPV
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSTEtJf0yA

I put a stool in front 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ883PAtoTp0
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYvaFiFxfO
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHgPUAy2ed
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhlEJ04si1
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3Xjot7fnq
others.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxD8QeGfan

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfDdyJOEMS

Taeyang and I sung the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyOuU7yyxW
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KsqvoCWeN
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaI2pU49oF
great and everyone cheered.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw52F1XgHWd

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOZGZAi5XO

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWW7PBWEfj

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV7QYZ6Olz

TOP started to rap the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJZABayf2I
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ9Zdu8MWv
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuOkhubQPO
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleuMpOSSKM

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfZ7VbbmVK

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZD0EojIgY

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIwtFXOioP

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrdlD6zoZG

Daniel and Seungri sung 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Bsqo89CV
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZFa9IN37m
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks701Ui44w
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo6wYoOQ6O
clapped for themselves and cheered.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNrQSOcFlH

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfIxAd0WdW

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVuvxoYV6A

I almost fell off the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwGxbMjloY
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIDRrJPRZF
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLDwIZV1mO
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGdK5E00bS

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEREPvH7dQv

"I have to say, you all 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0zHqZaeOi
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATNFgm7933
smile. "Keep up the good work."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdCyAoIgg1

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo76LBVwlvL

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKePOcnNnLc

No one said anything. We1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HKUaeChmV
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcIcU5BNzd
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPDOR7IsLZ
talking.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6yUJUlsR3

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMRFyguzB7

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOlQH9aTGf

That, I couldn't answer.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpd3EigzZt
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPytC1kPF9C
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXJa6mHwGp

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWvMpl44wV

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs2Q3oVbOJ

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQJmvA3lLv

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQTWTEbwHC

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9V3Ts4UfW

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxKclgH5pJ

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQXhwlQVfc

"I want them back here 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosIJt1236W
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtixueYZRr
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UTpZuvE99

I gulped as I felt the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugp91YSLxr
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFx37Wag3H
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JfSlFYYxn
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivp8vN0qsG

No one said anything 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdIbwK30mn
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbPF6zF9ZI
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bwPgouoO1

"Where could they have 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRDKnvnl2M
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h5pr36CEF
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneTDmOnwhj

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQn4Q4vUHW

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx4k4jT53Z

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlwYqqc4x9

"Then we better start 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTxc8jE3UZ
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa2jdLERtT
looking for them will be difficult."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRKTpycQSQ

We all agreed to split 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66sZCL8CXg
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF6i9FhoGK
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveAjk9FZJY
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMviHM9fkYX

All the studio rooms 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL4EsJ8VmR
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi19HeZMkis
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbI1y4j1UK

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK3e8MWCu5

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvQ5qErGtL

"Almost fifteen minutes."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4MXESD9YX

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy87JnKcZk9

He nodded and pulled out1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GRcINrm3n
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtzK3jn0Xm
walked out of it and came towards us.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYxKZxPiVz

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5umCvg500g

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkFrQnbkD0

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRblo5jNCIN

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ601mrFDeut

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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZxvTGUvdu

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2qh3o3fw3

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfnQvQAJIs

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHssIGV8FQF

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V6RfsKFig

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5ICKAGcHs

I hadn't said a word 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyB9Of2cnc
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dSKMmGLUQ
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rBwW1aWEp
but worry.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez4ZLhev8s

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdpvorl9Uj

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCik2nTR6K

Daesung motioned his 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVJYQ5i7dO
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmPLe9fZ5x
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLjulv3BHu

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0JlykfVH5

Taeyang and the music 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZafoFTXc7
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5fBi5281I
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7fGbu6BoX
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6VNSfMM68
and angry at the same time.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2X7Wa28uR

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDuTo2nb4f

I looked over at Daesung1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ845u4hYYyG
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWA1QAeqHe
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqns2cYLMt
the play button.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSDeSqfP7y

***1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXWIPK5exv

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2ikDZWnxF

I came crushing back 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfnL5zbPXc
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudXN8h63Kq
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte7csmc4Po

I had so many mixed 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxigdQQ3K3
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvSNGynGZq
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFqJEHGsoz
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt46nssdzU
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVJzAyjbBS

I could tell that the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PJw4xLC8n
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eax0RrA3X
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaetuwdfG6S
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGd5kxGMJx

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNi4aK8qnH

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4YZI3sEFQ

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJWnn0ZAiY

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPjvy6UZCj

I folded my arms and 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXAnLodRJB
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UYrloU1Uo
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9epQYXEfpW

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0O79NJQGi

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgbiCwuaE7

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPqACQ7Ahd

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwfJGOl7wp

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e86fKaRii

I could feel the others 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkclxywr02
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEobef4cveC
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v3CRqaS0k
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgDSUVflYZ
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm4bn7q0Zx
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNumqVdXto6

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSPxFuVVaS

"Okay." I nodded my head.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtntf4L8lp

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXmqERZZSl
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQZgnO9f6I
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fC42ta2Zm

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZhSAkLNr4

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLFK1zhWML

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFzerMcV0D

"Not until I hear what 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLR3gvsBNy
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3BDHvcaQR
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuwIVza0bf
trying to calm down.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5to77n3Sle

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClEuiYLzOc

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzcLjxGSzc

"So that we could get 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnNtPaU2me
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvusVcCGQIR
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH23VYVGVE
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KqVNGsmUC

"I agree with Sam," said1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNSx4fhmi1
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s0n27vM4s
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaXXvy9c3r

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7ZZF73nfb

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOrzcDotbj

The rest of the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNaJY08pmI
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTHZqpdy9S
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7WpEBSHqG
playing cards.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRJIzFrKZm

I was leaning my chin on1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1m1n8mxm5
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL3to52e4j
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVcQzlWNwK
especially to me.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN7CgGIvtG

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43jpyGQvYA

I suddenly sat upright 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEEUANHNk0
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIysjAsJyV
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufyGPhwT7Y
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpQsQPxuuF
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVuFqT8W8B

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbVTBPmlFe

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUbjcAoHtC

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBEvkoMNJb

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOSzNkvgLe

"Maybe we can just order1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgbpaecehS
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqdvsmzXgP
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyJPhScMIx

"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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWQ8MSCbCJ

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eAiRiPIVL

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3e4ebt8BR

"I heard that Zoey and 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvob2sXUu9
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQJqnrLD1F
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRxNLHyEsF

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlON5k7Atfb

"Then it's a good thing 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy5lgVXWsH
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXbGA2dgrl
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVFlJs2D31

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZLbqsX8vV

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMleq2G2DV

Everyone soon dropped 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ6bVP6SqK
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YyUw2bO5Y
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq5EEyeE7k

I had never eaten pizza 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPM8Hjh0NS
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rEGw5POCl
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS85MB1obrU

We were done finishing 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG9y5ZCp3y
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy3hIIG8H2
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39FJxDrVol

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxWOhbpb8B

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLXVM0gzOq

We were huddled up on 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0ap0m3zgG
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlgm1TJiHy
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamysnSdV5c

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwfcvA0A55

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqOV3nUkLp

"You lied? About what?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tj5RARQW2

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF30xQBWhJ

"But why?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzRxg5LMR5

"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."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuTojTiZRJ

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?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufL6Wzh5v3

I didn't expect Lee to 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElAzqoAbfA
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmeuSPX3xF
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABNCChFxSP

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCNCmI0LJw

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYTycvHPvl

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDNpg5hJlU

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKscDyqFxe

I stood up from the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyBlCOYpbN
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbqk5cuEK1
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IMeny5VeV
later.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX3M4krQfJ

Trying to find the right1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMDMqQJbzE
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruWQxuKIQz
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB3HBniipE
what for, was the question in mind.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzK8itj1Sv

"Aren't you going to 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FwXDZ8xY0
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uhBIsgOTZ
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡribqWtnoH1

"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."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImK1CE6wYj

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z3ayWVoxA

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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6a5sOyZ9X

Lee went on to look at 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMvWi4ElAR
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlexlow3HO
just thought they might be arguing again."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTKi7ck6L6

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV4g47AULo

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tfY0RtHhD

"I don't even know what 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw6qghzELB
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jmNWqxb2m
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ajLazrLrx

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9QGkUzNUx

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WkvDK99xR

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwibMs4leiT

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT2NEyLuwk

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz5UbKMTBn

It only took five 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG01qUR3c7
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6tFkCFTet
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnCtBqASJ9
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRD7IHwUC5

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vm6s5BpL3

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeQYik1Gah

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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuhGqXIutQ

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG14djN0SHt

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKmmS74WUD

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq1hTrIm4s

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51cG5uGBlS

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWfiUj9QYp

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiOZ1IfrI0

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DFZm9Bar2

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ1k8jU8JA

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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hu165UG4R

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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F8azuz8eY

"Why did you this?" I asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNDxOenpxM

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rofNOd5Na

"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."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRtgxKkrk5

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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5njUTqfjN

"The instrumental is in 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cq7hvqln1
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YRr3eZIxO
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH7VtcPCSm
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeKSGnYqGk
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkf7kps2bq
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHQhWmAq1A
pissed."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqFM6DJfQ7

"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."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qEpzYXNs8

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsJw8ltLGI

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRZee9Kxtv

I looked at Zoey and she1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Pod2JsFd
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjZuPL93wD
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu7m5E5f17
was mad at me for.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZoJ2qFoWw

"Now is not the right 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIufRrnSqm
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjwFy1A3rN
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhRiGeAq9s
understand.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8m9zuRS3K

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtNvIVm2dZ
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtV0omaFG8
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKMgQgmoKK
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gQcScO5OD

"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."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTw5yQM8eM

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ8tO5xtSs

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23JIsXtNZK

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG0NgfBDCu

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0fmvxoZVJ

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEM1TW7ZFd

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36XEo8EHdB

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTP8g6goDE

I paused with my mouth 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTWYgLB37x
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjvwl3UsQ1
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLyWTogEln
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwC45Higek

I looked at G-Dragon and1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgjMMyowqO
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRRPKzqEun
face wondering what he was thinking.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB4YtpdBxi

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBWavDirld

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PC9pmqosU

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vKlxObNMS

I smiled and Seungri 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY1ePripQN
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMOW7CqdDo
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRryo0jxT5r
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon3RpxVMMG

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEsg2QQiDu

I smiled a little more. 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUaGnQBaK3
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAJEsi3avP
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerqCaqzHeC
were at war again.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsjS4q2Pdj

"But we can't start 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDHwnG0uli
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdyAM2udtT
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkRDgnPOZH

I sat upright and alert.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYApzMLzJdk
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClqaQEPabY
have to record the track the day after?"1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAImf9RSPhK

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzPhQ8TIb3

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YoTKn51U0

"But why didn't you tell1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGfc4m5ENy
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuw9CrSD4m
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpsg2RmI08

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yUrnYdMGV

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0s4DikGPI

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBhzSxP93K

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWWfmmUmeY

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRbK0XuQAV

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIywqwCKDY

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ITMT56sXU

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7E7n0Tp2m

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqXIIkDLzV

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CI7srB6ne

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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV4pbS0FRU

I turned to look at him 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ5lzrOxuO
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsTvFAPUbr
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtdEQP3aN3
me like that.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5AgFO517C

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXZMEHJpF6

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGH0EgZ2DV

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh3x2cixNn

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIK1icNi3J

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfTJNMPVIx

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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCF07Dn2KS

We looked at each other 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jvvp2q8zm
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCq2Xpx0AF
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMzaof0YI4
Maybe he also felt the same.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFMsqvg6Cm

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.1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0hsqe446S

I then realised that I 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoueqAw2JXo
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnCT2Sq480
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziZEomIHDB
another time.
