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 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWmO67NNJP
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKJweSxHrW
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazudXf8QKI
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6sTjCPdpo
bed.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZrYCQJcB6

I scratched my head as I1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYQrcZbolD
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEpg2I7HPW
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kEBc16dFH
he found me here.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ535CUYOYj

I slowly stood up and I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhyX4oZlPx
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO7BpJSU1A
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeiUJRVcu8
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJM6FL3SlZ

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYeDPFcVoJ

I almost jumped in 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgfypXBG8N
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTWaJGvGf8
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGblOi1Bpoa
obviously reading the news online.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cT7twJYUd

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPVVjD8hIE

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN2WCQ5lgA

"'Don't tire yourself 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvqqqWG4u7
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHES7vUucIf
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKrIOYtRzF

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AWNWzeH2l

"Oh, you were listening?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXteQV3mEq

"Ya, you kept on playing1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfatqQixTdT
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPrGaAOdD2
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCVsImgtTX

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRI3tEcagC

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD2Trpyagy

"For covering me with a blanket."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwuOED8Zic

Collins looked at me 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtA5xLrV37
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XrvtuPrLK
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y7IWVYaVN

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme9885Gven

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6oq8mLlbg

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpieuKIfV7

"Me too."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzBBf2MIrV

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gW5pyYXCa

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0mhm0loI0

"Going to take a shower," I said.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7odjftNL8j

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOc2nVMdXq

After I freshened myself1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0S1uaZBqj
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwVMIIm6wy
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHijxrOpVz
Collins was still on his tablet.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf40YBvhvly

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYpPZ21L8b

"Nope. Just looking at 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDbdLQwJhx
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIco73FT5cZ
coming back late at night with the others."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN1uqULj5j

"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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxSzQA4ac5

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5TWHAn4wo

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AuhmZefX1

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTCUrLzeKo

Collins handed his 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOfQe9KZub
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoxO833Z2C
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8jYGNEqeG
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoBpiMyM7k
having a great time.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mBP1sBSAc

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoamvzhrpc

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FpNTdOCgM

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8k35H34dZ

"They should have as 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncFJggfkNK
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTkcBcjYoV
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuE2O0FEZw

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz0TWhuMc9

"No, it's not about the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYN0xbxRuE
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdkWrQLicP
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZOi0Rws32

I looked at Lee who sat 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySRauWAz2A
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8jJS2sSwm
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt94Hjrh7Yw
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjxwuzyhhC

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNYbcXsHje

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03WflkB2V0

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnETZzAy5N5

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk89C7OStAP

"If I tell you, I'll 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYKCxdlyhf
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGoBNFKr5b
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GsjUdNRPG

Collins got up from his 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvH8A6CxFg
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xrxlQAcIL
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaBNNZcu4e
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhEfo2bULm

"What do you know?" I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehwULrhEQt
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpf3OaJLRn
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJIhryu1CU
detective asking questions to a criminal.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGli9FKWLkT

"I don't know," Lee 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtbI9ejRQE
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyAe1ShYlE
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3HmWA8j93

I knew something was up 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCI74AreRG
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mVuxFNS75
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42G8jmgWJj

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEAJCkJ1gF

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWkgqypXF1

"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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdJScnnaj3

"Hey, what's wrong?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIUkDYE4Ay

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEvKgpZbis

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UAAjPVktr

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk0o7U8TBS

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVTZZhFBPb

"Well, kind of," I said 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsBjmvILbK
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcLiyyqWcj
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhawxffGlq

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YzOeWh8Fk

"Okay."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYwm2CzO6h

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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f4kUUuLZH

Lee, Collins and I soon 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWgeJybyCL
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2JBI5Ir99
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OEkKP8afi
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrJfql1jRq
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDZEPRrOw3
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQWqUr7cBv

I was waiting in th 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR4d7nvkxd
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFqxLHIlke
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAMidyYCkb
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtFRAqD56y
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a5cgBnISi

I was pacing up and down1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxi3KdQB3u
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoJFCxekD6
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPYhck3By5
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZVbijHgip
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg2Udd5HZo
and I was so nervous.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRiYFGPrLC

"Here she is," said Lee,1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfhMf3WxQl
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbd5axgb3i
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2hKHNCrfF
you, Tae."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uW5N0ckkm

I frowned at Lee and I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrUsUxJpQd
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTN5TcM6tO
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMZX4LtyVU
friend.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjeHxuFHD2

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMixZza27d2

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZgzSu1lqO

"I told Taeyang that I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7hG1yZD6C
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1vVC2SoDw
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNlVTU4DXo

"Our manager called me 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNqGG863bS
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOdzVf6CVF
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0Vek1P7rd
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzn1U9okhT

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYcbvD1vnS

"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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNohlSkQL4

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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDLkFgkQdc

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIu0L9faCy

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7JvtEWhhN

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7knZ3VTwbW

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSelewqFrH

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOtl6vwjkZ

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30Z3DcFCMk

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S1e6Icdro

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnOYCfuPRU

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmioQHV9bq4

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQiXnl96qE

"Sure."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINNgPfiCOf

I gave Taeyang my 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgpoYKOrba
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIDD01MPvS
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKeRxQE58j
cute together.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasBTGu3nnv

"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."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMfmljxoH1

"Thanks. I was singing 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVd7rJq19t
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgMiJOQE40
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3SzBKqHJq
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cqCjdxWrl

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdkbXArYhz

"Well...not really," I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTDP8I1Qrv
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhI7atpSm8
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfNGbYVipZ

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa0RP4WhEI

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dQ9zUdC1u

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuwT56O2r4

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlmaow7Ai3

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC6cKR176F

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif9lBCwSeL

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmdQ1RfFMb

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESnmFi9PSI

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EvJ8467T4

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH5pQDaBra

"Right now."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOJ3MIX55R

We all turned towards 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1yBh3wq3E
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZjAD9BBVK
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh1h0TLNvO

When everyone got 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS35QeOTqJ4
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnPCqGT4kb
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGUNZ7OSkn
run out of the room.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyCmtwH1eh

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSdO6QNhum

I nodded my head and my 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhCXKCr1p3
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb5IkdfRIX
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ta9Wmo3Ll
ever got to play it.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfH3ZUwe2N

I felt a break of sweat 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsYYX9bq0H
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vqu8jIqv5
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBplvu0aoR
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoV76O7EU7
strung the strings on the guitar.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyiZMUJp0W

I started to sing as I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRArR3Qlumt
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHORHp1kmJR
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZDOZmL9hX
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT1Rf4ddQC
didn't. Well, I hope so.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vN7yeoZv7

As soon as I was done 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0QYlubO9j
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivht2szojB
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff90QcyNdB
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsHfiyP39c
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWoQp20JFU
hoped they liked it.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfi2k0Neba

The studio was still 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZmUoONEj7
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi9jZvJW8h
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnlE6ykF9Q
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXth1p872md

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoALUMIumQ
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKkvtaUkpf
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutIZLjOQZm

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHd5hatRt6

This was it. The hammer 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeP621lXcO
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZowqlBjSE1
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVgblFWrWn

"....incredible."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHyDUZgPeo

I opened my eyes and I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXpxaIsGUm
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzC6wIIfbS
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIdsqv8CIU
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSdmXS0blY
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAMhgErdkk

"I've to admit, when 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZuPPN05Nk
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfuKuw9Kev
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMHSHAphTt

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmxSyQdDUx

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDy3T1xUye

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28SlFGI9sn

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFaSssbvHc

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWEpJcfs1Q

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnERDqDWhZ

I couldn't stop smiling 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i0YNS2xmN
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mkmUFxR4F
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHf3CcICR6
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVUHJL1u5s
good voice and a golden one.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI4EC6ZY6L

Immediately our managers1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIhw7n6GSn
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBIlPLLRwt
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z0Okv0dPP
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttz9FxOTAl
musical instruments.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q4NZv3VSP

This was always the hard1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGUoUbpAr6
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF9yvXcskJ
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXVecXoPnx
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxFqz5mzs0
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPclHN9eAv

An hour had passed and I1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXM8IiD6O1
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjenzsaAgOs
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPLQPIF8rj
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSr7YMZaaz
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6SeskYyiU
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshtSj9Zc7V

"It's been an hour and I1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUePGYLjLOu
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOYxubE5Ix
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjRXz0qYiu

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYdp7fF5Pm

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZXk0FQDi4

"Trust me, you're so 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrlf9f03me
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLMmw80wuW
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlcjHNrsOy

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4l7fWfsyq

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuPVu275fO

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhgLw3hazL

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6E3lxIaen

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36CxfTHyAA

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhuexFXA9C

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKSvlFb3eC

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEL7Divdw4
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ED5o7cd6R
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjlKvu2rca
masseur."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51Uks60VXx

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l6BoMenWv

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwryWook7i

The music producer soon 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSySB89DHZ
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWApRwAu7Mk
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE0Zit7BD3
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNR77KSUVL
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQljKnBVqA
recording the track.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk5fdVCEtG

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcw8lm8Iwr

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71ZHZ3VneW

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUx6x1Pl1C

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNYwiHqCdh

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhQrXPMAsv

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv6Tf5DSi5

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKTlX0CCMy
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa6K4PtQkR
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt787T8mVf

"Let me guess, you're 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVLjs6pXwL
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ2uK6xZZt
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtQCgVQJeL

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e0YNAzruY

Something told me his 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJVWmH6YZn
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcXf16ETaz
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tnko9h3t5
always does.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpah44NslP

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAi3sZrcwd

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsqXGJkYcm

It was late in the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztt4xm1Dtz
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhRZXU9R2s
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbwDj1Z2d9
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lJHMEFkqa
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSmVPitBQX

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKm1IO6BU8

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhNQpJawha

I looked beside him and I1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPkgplcQta
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlOwsVGCTp
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSPXcaoS63
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOeuE92Uw9
leaning my head on the console.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPSXsTTE5Z

"I always hate this part1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFp6mtMgV9
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5JBQ5rjKT
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqi1zkYlo1
console.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvhC53k1mA

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxAtHGoGgN

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1eTAw2cRT

"I wonder what time."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdRbTjkItM

"Wait." I pushed my head1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd59VyKN1jP
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttCBBhyB3D
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8tI5ET5fT
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGOB52ryvr

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIfgUv9NmJ

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUhth0Mvus

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd41Vn8adr

"I didn't sleep well 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZLM5DoN9q
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TYdsNUjSS
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke5PgmFEXw

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgESFINeW1B

"You're right." I soon 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJsLWjAmf3
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhaf8pf4tY
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxFXJbiUNV

"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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsj9CtYgfr

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDPWFGGMp1

"Alright. Thanks."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzfNB6sNyx

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMJIYEqjVl

"And so will I," said Seungri.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WblnV0wXI

"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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLRMkdqSIO

Immediately I left the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFISzNIliw
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpzofTUd9u
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LKtAzMFzm

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCmBRcblLa

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NouAqtCBc

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEoXxHoKEs

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoHM11DvI6
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51wKPQPIuV
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk9J1gsxAe

The next thing I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1sDaJTk0B
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ2Cpg0TKh
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXt4aPI1CO
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9adeS3rq94

I woke up by the sound 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsjlDPqaTg
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AZuXmQzK9
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iyCpNBa42
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuxO9sgA98
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfApgZNn6zT

I reached out for the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm87gB88mB
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2vOaofnH5
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5ghGB4SVr
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ460sVoytFt

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTMLqchKD9

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UwCwolp5X

"I could hear it ringing1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZUd1H6UWj
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNSR09pVnx
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXBGA2Wwqa

"Thanks," I said as I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXOYG1Pwh1
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHGpJnp7oL
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMlgeAD9Da

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSANgV4KtPv

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl75W5E4bo

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCiD05gh2q

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7ODlRuALk

Lee left the room and I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFqPMDVFWM
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKJ9fgKtXS
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QEyZrj6Hp

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnlAkTGp3A

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRITAHDYIMv

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNgN64QEIO

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAlzNTE07q

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Q0CxqCPX

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXOjFM6Kpa

I dashed over to the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDr1BzYkuJ
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfyPGfwRCO
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28DN8BLMRB

It was now 10 PM and 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnp78dVFdN
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sRuOqpYJd
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6WuUtirzt
they were right now.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wU3B8HCWQ

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8YBwSRzJy

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54t6t7GRFd

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON4BdbD0sm

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnuqZUsFY7

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWPo3IEuHw

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK0J0IGDAW

"True."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMKLXczjD9

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7bpA6qyXP

Two bell boys came out 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfp5EIwmhD
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerMvIy516u
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9NnpuP4T6

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJiIT8pFi9

There were so many gift 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg47jBuuuOI
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFXykjYUIl
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCgMc4BP3d
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBLoNlOptz
so pissed.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIPkhOwt3e

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmQpSe9seC

"They are downstairs," he answered.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF6edLjVqi

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJpN19k7id

When the doors flew 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf6j5Mil8X
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWkL9rsIvC
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwcxyG9x2C
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp85ueUlvN

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjunaS1lCuU

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmJdzpPcFk

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhdhrFH2Ue

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5M3GinF16

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGxwAxAfFu

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5V0zoz0s9

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJZZOnfC2B

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNEepwezxs

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBg8Dg4KJ8

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUfa66wsj3

I raised an eyebrow. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vmXv4F2an
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOOXwsNB8u
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28xDE6ax7P

"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?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ELtkNJBe

"Everyone just missed 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQOXRaFQuc
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihU0gNN4c3
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq04u6VwxjU

I rolled my eyes at him,1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcwIpb4Smo
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00bABuTu82
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkX7TDZkGp
face when I hugged him.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uaVTsLob4

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ9uB5xj4Y

"Wait! You missed TOP 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCIgS4VZaU
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B6Kzuoa53
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E7kvPsHR2

I always loved it when 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZrYW1TsQ7
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RJCHiNjqP
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymTTFlnCet

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8duv2LZAUE

For a moment, that voice1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN25r3JfEYP
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PK0xyivGP
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfL0q5a1Sh
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiipqxrqHL
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFbhSyTmPx
he was still acting the same way he had left.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZZN7EinGS

I was really confused. I1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw0TbZrQXh
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwPQ6NMNab
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuXO5Zkhdv
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZovOoAQ14
personal and it had to do with me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinmOX7w7b4

I had no other choice 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnE5OIim4D
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDboNTVBFaT
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvudzoR01pW
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIt2elXAFq

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2GfkuiOgx

By the look on his face,1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7BzrHXWZc
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9U31eXe6H
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDLAo0JqJs
going to end pretty tonight.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlru3Db3mrW

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1995Vs1KjH

"Ya, I did."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5fjoiZ0mC

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYvY3dYUNN

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zfOSKLLHf

"Can't wait to hear it,"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL1GbHNbfO
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFggFuXCBm
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEQ8QLcoXF

"Anything for you, 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz0sHSEWwh
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU2NHddp9D
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf9UFmaNhD
look at Zoey.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Be2ufbWfl

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEndAFdaRk

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgkqyMom1B

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVV73JLGDd

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uzboZkz5J

"You know Collins is 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu6VeFqMEe
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WMeBsm8q3
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRAqIftUuX
floor.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6QwPbAmDp

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN58iGZ2AVH

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I4yZ6RaNS

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrKpQeUcZx

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4IhHJG5IQ

"We better sort out all 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U6sLxAvRq
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8IfpkHKIv
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ea8iEx6B3
floor.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwDucrGCs4

Sorting out all the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFIW9zICuH
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwNSYhnUzz
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayCbe6XjFP
had really bought a lot of stuff.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5LnMuIroh

The boys had brought a 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPZggF9da1
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHOJaS6WV0
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5JTYv9zeS
expensive designer shoes.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0F6CZ1d3W

As for Zoey and 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10hTV9PfTi
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOCgx9HPoW
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c9lnvGbUP
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzyU6w8snU

"G-Dragon was helping me1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LFtVaaNWZ
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNPvdWklhD
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJLyJ4MBJe

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd5VmCSnHn

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbWVLASa0I

We were sitting on the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyYixdgXtr
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoxdTnbmFQ
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7zd7hQYuX
stuff with Collins' too.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZFew4q3j8

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE0ExkbHOK

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpUJBeq4IX

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFaOPGeB2d

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMz3cUl7hH

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEdufek2mL

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7PSg1fTeT

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNubYJj36fM

I distributed the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswJnwup4yx
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SqeJGjYsV
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdmkZCrkQG
was meant for me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZJybuuakz

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDydKdF30i

"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."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMGa2dtbyO

"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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QdzLIKGpr

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CLfDHJf6C

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE5Ma5PDez

For a moment, time 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3skim4R4gI
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH9NXnHZra
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRl9ojhsRY
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKukjQSpDI
mess.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDD1eDTQNt

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRdVWwiWOt

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfQMo2DMhS

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6K921cR2W

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD3zPu3Q77

For me, it kind of felt 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sZ2pVk1QS
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTfjhK32Ax
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhljncxA6G
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHHTRxjpS5

When Collins came to the1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfuXxh2mjL
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnOb6Cvyym
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQDaMFFs4y
he just couldn't.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9FCEEs6LR

"Hey, Collins," I said.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGSIfM8s0Q

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd56ELFH0CR

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIHXkANV73

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmgpK90DTu

"Thanks."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cxE9d8vBF

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfryiyIrvFW

"Who?" I asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl2GXTNst3

"You know who I'm talking about."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRthUJ8l8lV

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg02QptzWO

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p4X4xM8Zr

Collins went over to the1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfFonbKIWV
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKJToGUUFn
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyBa9eZ7ZV
up at him.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotGOQm8sP7

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztIU1hI1cX

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE2Id431VS

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHa6AQEM6q

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCY8AUK03Z

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWmNJax5Sd

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhXAG6ldDS

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIjikU4Bas

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4KWna3VMn

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiRVZV0gMx

"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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7zKiLk8xV

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIB63QSHBW

"Here, we brought you an1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPp4Zsbb4B
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki0NynpDTH
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Esb3CXQI

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNqGIoK7ha

"Thanks," said Collins, 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyhcxSwO4Y
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkKQE2kfFr
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TEBZyXTza

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFwO4s8KIJ

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3gZFf8rJ2

Lee was right. Collins 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAu8OhcKq1
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7f0nBTwQC
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswbcCxFObX
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTRXxMPZec
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCaND60CRz
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx90CELZ7L

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPEC9ixOp4

We continued sorting out1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg29r4VkYTM
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIEyxbCOAK
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wgi3pr8Ff
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjJG2PhOwQ
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9QHCNoOdT
already too late and we all needed to rest.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQeKFYtsuN

We hadn't managed to 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJt5Kwq0tj
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsUQNkRj7q
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXtuQ90xmx
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4mfdktSB6
course.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje8EWIFF1v

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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1jSAIaRz2

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDBbilWQCQ

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TAqjlO2RI

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1jsOvyqnR

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72US3KDYlH

I looked at her with an 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZK6FK0hWG
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtEX959xa4
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXC6EwPLBT

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0TY0Bnk4g

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIVgZvACT2

"Fine?" I looked at 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Mecp3E3V
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjmWJcP0eW
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRiknuZibJ
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGWZNlryEQ

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3naGizVg5

"Tell me, please!" I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJQqoH0MNW
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ01wzOCCOw
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGVraPOTIG
tell me something. So tell me!"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlADaSYXlal

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5chpVLFGe

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY7WMOkzia

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWhHdOBhky

"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."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF2kAg0Xnn

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76wLlescPi

I felt really excited 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkq7gCiXd9
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98tWQJ6rXN
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlfbZzA3xF

"I don't know how I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDKM3PYvj7
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoe37nhWbs
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvOygorXXm
Tower."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWVYncvTuk

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTWmevhtnk
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFXRdKPEbb
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lwKougapi

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvuL3fbF0m

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRsXzemHZa

"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."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s48tHOoxF

"What?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHJKiZC9qo

"When we got to the top 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KhWWjDUWz
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA579ZfEsE
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnpKxgsn3l
others had left and it was just GD and I."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI97tPW1dvj

My eyes grew wide. I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4foFZlEb7
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jKjtRkvmP
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuGi7GouPa

"You two kissed."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y69IkDSkt

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNwLA7Sxo8

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeVR8jvNSu

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPbALliD3F

"Well, you were in one 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27mQOZWd05
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBGQ5sJZoT
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTnrd4DLqe

"Smart."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5nwsvtrpm

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZHjz8UxD2

Zoey smiled like a fool,1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBw5b0uaTl
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrifgtZXp07
it was so magical at the same time."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyAOhLmsQw

I couldn't help but 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aM3GAw4tn
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3auKBG5yI2
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSIusH5d88
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk0KM865Li
everyone at the prom.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HwLjFFC1G

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQGQYPIMQl

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqJLYcpWfo

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSDw5VDeZq

"And? Anything else? 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjoKdKlzG7
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvGF1FYIRY
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7013Th9yKx

"When we were on top of 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1N40xNaLN
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8EC6UOqCq
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDsKOQUZQo

Well that's a bummer. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl393vfFJZM
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQoKh1ecv1
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKw9GWuiDB
really liked Zoey and not me?1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvUIklLOTw

I brushed that off. Why 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBDIJULZC5
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CKSAZVcrw
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrlsTqAWY9
hopes up with it.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D0QhA4ZtY

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdma2Litlc4

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVWoOIE5fi

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF5Lexq3DE

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq97i0lFSu

"Thanks, Sam."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTb3c02mmp

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ1FDdtIVu

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVOejr84aI

I left Mr Panda on the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAodTmanFO
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3JpyMVzdN
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWUmzVxznD
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwfr34qdN4
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjhxwVi8h0

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIKofVCwUn

"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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLhDKH6FyZ

I laid my head on the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCPntdBa3u
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33IoMnDV2D
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxjAJY9bMw
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQz6XBgrP7
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL3q5YW8xf
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z6wz0g0EX
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb0ZmqwBl2
have been.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNptqI1Jgu

Zoey would have only 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ706izvZ1Dn
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9JTyEvvix
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPAcaxWkVD
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodOGto0yFh

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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g9NuYqYch

I pulled Mr Panda closer1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkzG5HagzU
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDwr3rfsWR
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBzde8mKng

***1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI7lTKG49g

I was given a round of 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I4QAlWv1p
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzgcdJXtI3
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkObFa1jg9E
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4yD6JVm8i

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kuVePSlLb

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfEZHMdsLa

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqySWRp8Crp

"Then you better eat 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KvQdkY9TZ
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsYGkXYeaO
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQuz8iJDeA

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg9iHfD56Z

"I can't wait for us to 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHrbpzgvUv
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIboT2nZ8JW
beside me. I could only tell why.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O6wkUORne

Christine who sat 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N5UHzZqfP
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvDlU6Qows
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSjWt97NjT
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEbV45aX1j
and G-Dragon.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc87V8HCQt

When we were done 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ424PhsrDgS
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHsi9gMH2w
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCPXPWksf4

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMb3sd95J8

"What is it, Zoey?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPkmwMtiH9

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9yStSf1Lz

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27bjpfc4to

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zW4rgAI3a

"That's the problem," 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVAfPYNjyC
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe59Bufj7TO
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsdx2lLXIp
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtdVtkKOOl

Mike turned away and 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYD7yV3Ma8
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wEQpmtZwi
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dQWHipXOd
something?1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi0xTG6BUq

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMv4gS6UhR

We agreed with Christine1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy4SaTVLfB
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXxZ4JVOY6
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSYfmNn2DZ
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGj2Pctis6

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTpf3w30RY

"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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhM6Qu6193

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgDSEy3TxC

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWWZMPFN9G

"I also feel like I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6GlZI2Juy
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXsFILBidc
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLXUETFuXw
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvk7DEd74q

"Do you think we should 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzaIETLNIN
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TrWs5WZhB
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7CpSKnoXJ

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28iZNvJeaw

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX5gkL4Yrx

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsZckTsnyW

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsCBTkkFvo

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwSGfrYV58

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVEzAtdet7

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q9UuF7ski

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZkgutnzBu

I stood up from the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysaGgOf9Lz
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAw25xwRyz
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuKUQLF73x
conversation.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1tozxoCpX

When I went back, I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsfjtW98tA
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggHENHfKHx
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Z1sjqh8E
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmuSc6BXis

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkKh46nXME

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBAIj3ROZE

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6YtJRXGxP

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rXcPLWOm3

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM4sabDpG0

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR7hf0TFn2

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb0slWJuIi

G-Dragon gave me a weird1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkSYGwsX2z
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiPmoevsyx
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K7VinXrB3
took their place on the couch.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzH0yZS2Qg

"Christine and Daesung, I1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJJoAmBGCm
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt0lFIUJaE
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2hQRYYqts

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGxx7STBqG

"Ya, we will sing the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRRiAchstK
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAQBBiBC2U
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4rOpur890
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaAj2VB4wF
producer has the lyrics printed out."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61IcGSs65e

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zvClAwdPO

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7wFlc4Fun

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tlx1vHHju

Then we all went over 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i8DLzXJ4Y
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZPbVuoad0
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanBeVsW9zr

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYS1XWFQRB

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqIZENIuE8

"Me too," said TOP.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rWPpK6ukG

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIvq2WrfnL

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwHwDCIdVu

I didn't look up at him 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I5tU5rCKI
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkSc8wOuoD
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUUp6lA2YY
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzIPuYURs9

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiSmGtO2qZ

I started to relax my 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rEmiguXjo
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWDWV6xDb4
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9O7i9yiX7

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUkM4Bvl7q

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchj3mMfyQu

G-Dragon came to sit 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9LghTa38E
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDPiExCajI
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPGboj2acM
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wGgpzyuHW
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA18bFofLj

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG4vdOf0NR

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkAXtXNU9g

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqim1rmY5ki

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKIxkGIHCp

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzydWhmOnRI

"Really?" the music producer asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQPDSqh5B9

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCYTAVPmqn

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB2BYOgNqY

"Give him a chance, 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7dYF27zqN
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWktugr4emb
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONfcvCUL1Q
headphones and put them on.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBkca1Mnvt

"Okay, this is 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4okCC0ixaW
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPANOequ3p
join them and see what needs some changing."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnrbZCgpet

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zDblBWXFY

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumK8BM4mvg

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGhXEQkyuX

The others looked at me 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l3ducFY8o
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC9AnPMB95
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXQBHRzRMS

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kAMPAcHYn

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXr1017Ig2

"That's going to be a 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCRNZ7KQ26
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78uOy70UiK
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAgzQDdl2M

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvNqw6yr8O

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBv5GYjHdb

"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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA4WjTyqfN

I looked over at Zoey 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Mj0KyuR4
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YI6VSY17X
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGFu9GOpln

I put a stool in front 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLTAePEH7f
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGwCgHPArr
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm01KIibEW
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD3dx4MuvM
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWyoDgqtLE
others.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTRhK54NdE

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVf5Fx8cgC

Taeyang and I sung the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0M30ZkZfs
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtGBRevg2p
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pKgRNNPJo
great and everyone cheered.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62RHhiDBW9

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx6tocwAHl

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaodePl9ujp

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwy8H63xtb

TOP started to rap the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGorNwrSlq
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQieiwbJZKO
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMUO8F0mz3
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu4AN9PPca

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzdJIgXfkS

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQB8bpqXW6

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsylLqYWrb

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECHwA60q8K

Daniel and Seungri sung 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG66Ea7LwOO
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmPs29wH9F
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86WDkn3eFN
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQtkANPCb9
clapped for themselves and cheered.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QE9MCUnwP

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQqtSQxU7x

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU5NZD9Bv7

I almost fell off the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jArLvzh4R
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAOFGhAYO7
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn7k3TBEIS
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFC6u4g4W6

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5FwOAtlGb

"I have to say, you all 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri11ZF7RvM
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl0dnOILQh
smile. "Keep up the good work."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OiFYZN8wp

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchlyMIDaPf

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRMHXpy8LT

No one said anything. We1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCKGoW7K34
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WHYFq6LfU
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCzDbiN3W9
talking.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDBR6FGIlf

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1AvJDmwhf

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31JxQYR1QU

That, I couldn't answer.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLhMDlPMoa
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelpume3u5l
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfotPRVLOQS

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz6GdtuL29

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoqsAvfRdF

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EGBAeg0Z4

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGLdwU1lQc

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOON6TmLvx

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuN7REgdHp

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNWmj4OZpY

"I want them back here 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCyRlGzbCQ
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyEKakqF3v
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3devisQs9t

I gulped as I felt the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNxxu3kE5h
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTomVAeq7bG
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsStktqkwF
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0KxItYJZm

No one said anything 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpakegQYQR
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pe2qOmpuM
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40n7GYtAhV

"Where could they have 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqgpqUoOCd
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8QJuCZArt
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7gcH7r3kX

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b7Hv7Bd7j

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNbFnFKmSi

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H4vy4blcq

"Then we better start 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrRn4kdCYX
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjRt49akZf
looking for them will be difficult."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6xfERju6X

We all agreed to split 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMhHcjfqDY
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1OUAhoo0r
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhmadYcevx
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdbAecWfHF

All the studio rooms 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKftxonGAZ
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxUNlONCPU
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4AIiybc1u

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVkXFqrKbO

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1yQDZJFtT

"Almost fifteen minutes."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCtkhB9K1Y

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGzGinKnxo

He nodded and pulled out1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpKUVvurR2
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklxJp9dxD6
walked out of it and came towards us.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6aMoIvJ9t

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq72Dlossgi

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8KFp3mwjT

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHzSd3e5OA

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6zJuePt7L

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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBLKcXnXnt

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQkLQlvtuo

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYXxWIy8LZ

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtYetU2nca

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadGylBAjLc

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QFGYZLrth

I hadn't said a word 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZQ6m2QKgg
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjRvys1Yx9
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkJ9HEePc7
but worry.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd35Hu9jcvK

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL3IGZ3tFM

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFD6b4aDKb

Daesung motioned his 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWktZKmUGm
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdJizF1CNC
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsVm4bsOBB

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCnVxmpYMP

Taeyang and the music 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcY71BtQ4d
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHE370RoHp
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92W4AL6qO2
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqT0e0qbvx
and angry at the same time.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e2XVqR93z

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uKb095PQG

I looked over at Daesung1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZT32unZOU
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplAd2Aiq44
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM18sH9q2xz
the play button.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh05Y4rPJ2E

***1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nqfve2DJj

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvkuDjxNuH

I came crushing back 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOys5RP31fX
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvqP2jKsKE
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ8SomCScP

I had so many mixed 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyemXLrLwj
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19xB60jDuh
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjX6GKU23N
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoSv1q0rdP
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv8QgPqnVz

I could tell that the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsPHCz5W5P
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLvN7sciTB
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgnJgWWYvi
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIyPQxcdKe

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq97CqnOWAi

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLbY3oVMto

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUs9hOT2Yl

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouKfbR6yic

I folded my arms and 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXC9Sgquji
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloU3wta4t6
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt2YmCCMcA

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusaWo10oin

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFdiqWUjju

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJllopvRPfn

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwuI0G6Tyo

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUhsDRI6SQ

I could feel the others 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNpxU9eHdJ
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyovKJK8EW
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6GK81751m
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILPyQGo0Cx
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytTDyF8aFQ
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyXwLIBmlx

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEieyFnIFI

"Okay." I nodded my head.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXvaXM4k40

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSomrAa8bei
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LnWW0sDjv
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa11RwjXAI

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdYyaxxSee

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KQCzvfIDT

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWRd0hWC3Q

"Not until I hear what 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nveW10cDc
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcMymBwl9Y
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBOZxRSNaH
trying to calm down.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXxR2eCbHN

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzaibSbjit

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIaoUUANLC

"So that we could get 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tgGVgKBBF
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit9cHNE5EK
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVPnbXNMMw
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4WizlgiS0

"I agree with Sam," said1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDzP495OIZ
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoDQWT7LaW
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPrHtp549P

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4td2i7mbjf

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3qWfLPMaP

The rest of the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztYsrcbOnM
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZsFw5apFw
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eIBapRm4K
playing cards.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTmQBqjzHI

I was leaning my chin on1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnottUtNyJu
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYRg8XTTBK
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cJQKxAjwx
especially to me.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT7KxtDrdv

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERZXwJMEP6

I suddenly sat upright 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qOrJ0jQSy
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZKwq6loP2
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0GKWncm2X
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4PS6I78VF
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWhFAHS1gt

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnunQA46TC

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qM6sKWiFU

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck4ye0eITE

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t6lNYrPPn

"Maybe we can just order1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrriBPpskTk
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ppVTYW2Uh
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1AyCA4Sni

"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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR9N9TSzgA

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFyupGFQVG

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtMLGh7K1M

"I heard that Zoey and 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlvmN5fqq1
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejsRjUG76G
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhc2TRthoF

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTUpFZbrmb

"Then it's a good thing 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83CRAToX9m
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyib50Pqvc
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszt9oMoUfT

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2conpS8KrR

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFdToVelBT

Everyone soon dropped 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2dcjg9S9h
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3z8zC2Ctg
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbhKtDK7RB

I had never eaten pizza 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFWMDp3dPv
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYarHI90z7r
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zoUYhAwX4

We were done finishing 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CAaSOAsjM
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEPZn1iyXT
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeccYLQ7qy3

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuV9FId7MZ

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ43RYnwt78

We were huddled up on 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjPhYkmevn
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRaZX8jZbQ
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxC4f4HgFi

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FB16C2bBs

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2IGMIfAAM

"You lied? About what?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H6g8Y5Rd4

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhdOm1OJtD

"But why?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8U4lXx3Lt

"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."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh50iTiLV6

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?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA0F0MhDpb

I didn't expect Lee to 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ79TrUWYje
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP2HK6WGph
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hopX7Aazc

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20p8YnGOWr

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBSbPVhB7z

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBMkDreTWZ

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlS2Bk7ZdH

I stood up from the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjxVHk8ZCZ
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0WDp9sw8a
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQUy7feqfj
later.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHHjHu4J05

Trying to find the right1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUoEDItdZK
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjg0WddJUs
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmJedekmiD
what for, was the question in mind.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDLJ65Bb8M

"Aren't you going to 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe6DQhOhnU
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9ewyFfBBB
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV5BdkOrMh

"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."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxURbvKGOu

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODKrYnGsYL

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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C3JY2AfjI

Lee went on to look at 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCvB04FMhN
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRNbChpBnI
just thought they might be arguing again."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUNps170A2

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYSixEu9DO

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjclWwX7zzs

"I don't even know what 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDxdOOcSrr
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifLhEY9TOP
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwrK2WZZOw

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdRBgQUeFe

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH7qo8m8ox

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZJjx8vP4T

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi10CIkgW9i

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEet1hgmnd0

It only took five 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff1lKaT0SV
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSTkpxkORf
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA37n4WvdS
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJerPD7Ka3

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKnr8fPwYe

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWab9XX6KZA

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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5fXFFMZlL

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVKD7onOlI

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qb0twmc0W

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2XOxGehhj

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFxLpFCaIQ

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHftG0zik2a

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hsOQ1FtAf

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ltkxIQhrB

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEDp8tX398

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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2of9ZpVj5r

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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjZ6xOCKVN

"Why did you this?" I asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vxu08I2Mi

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1gtA6gDaq

"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."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoQQlZeYIG

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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycZOhdWCxy

"The instrumental is in 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkNFthsTVQ
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJKXH7lC54
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7jonnHyQ4
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79eypKSms1
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0IuCPQFxg
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykpAwg7SXO
pissed."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtxUGpi5Cc

"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."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF6OK8zhua

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXi87g0Gut

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkBcdOlKbG

I looked at Zoey and she1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV4mJZKtlt
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdrfP1lNBu
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1zrTTnV9E
was mad at me for.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dySHupY6P

"Now is not the right 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ou5zXOXHB
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuvQYQkMEn
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYAuVPNWiy
understand.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9rmjOvQTy

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATF8E2Hno8
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXrZij4nEj
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVtWqvHaV5
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBv5L605UU

"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."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOUZD8jYcK

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQfNpJuxme

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEXwGSSTsu

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfjkL8MadE

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKG99TYh0p

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA25HrYDzBd

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqXcoFT5j8

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFlHZSKGmS

I paused with my mouth 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEG3cM7YPn
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxyA3BxXCh
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvyP2PM65L
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbccXmMNSgX

I looked at G-Dragon and1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlp0M1fGi4
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI1R0293gT
face wondering what he was thinking.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPoe8Efhn7

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe0bPl8UVQ

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a2FMPxnMm

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkfjp6Qlsy

I smiled and Seungri 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREIJQMcH3d
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnuchHVt6e
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh28bu0ysFg
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWQC5fokoq

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PyuvhoI63

I smiled a little more. 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU3EUYcyWM
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGEYIVfTG3
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m6suibs0t
were at war again.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8zHIxCqsE

"But we can't start 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxbXCw8ZhX
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lrqVN8BKx
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQcUOP5GPM

I sat upright and alert.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLy8VDJ0AW
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT2VnY0kEx
have to record the track the day after?"1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC8TZTTGyE

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX43wf4l9Ja

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Ursam1Gn

"But why didn't you tell1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F8vkMHYa4
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDO740FGTP
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEzVsvaXJg

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8OW4IlQlG

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Ea59KKMF

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT9NUpL5st

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtstXJuOxOZ

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrET22S8uF

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcol4gbVCQ

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVutumtttgY

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tCduBbweF

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2WflPYXjo

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM9vIGcaCr

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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiLKJpHJdc

I turned to look at him 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6AdR55wr6
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ORPGC0sII
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC13favOo8
me like that.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHQieDdPPr

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbWnpMRe4a

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFpq6f6gM3

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZUIPf3KBE

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsniO3W1fE

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6QI76uKQ8

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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdokwkFNSab

We looked at each other 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDnN7OSYtZ
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CTeVC6own
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpJwpE94sx
Maybe he also felt the same.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXRrm5cIEg

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.1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI19suPQ1Z

I then realised that I 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu7IyoM0ZO
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZmRc0RLL3
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl35rGos1GW
another time.
