"Come on, Sam, please don't do this to us," Mike pleaded.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQoSjpJFM2D
"Ya, we're your brothers and we're really worried about you," said Daniel.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAXe1esOysyl
"Sorry, guys, I'm still not going to tell you," I said. "Well, not now at least."1000Please respect copyright.PENANARuLgBnNLWB
"You've never been this stubborn in your entire life," said Mike. "What's wrong with you?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANANFLT1eb3eX
I shrugged. "Well, I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAPCmuCJNqzb
guess it's because I don't know what to tell you. I've no idea what to 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAGb7hUUEVFT
say. And I have no idea where I stand anymore."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAILFFLBWbvN
I continued to look at 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMCLjeLRUpE
my sad face in the mirror as I sat on the chair. My two brothers stood 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAY3WsOji8B0
at either side of me, staring back at my reflection. I looked at them 1000Please respect copyright.PENANANya0QZU15t
through the mirror and I could tell that they were feeling down and low.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAIzWmhoEURB
I hated that I had to put everyone in this situation, especially Zoey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA9nZxptneLO
Yesterday passed on 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHs5ODPpz6M
quite slow since everyone now knew that G-Dragon and I still weren't on 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5e4itNU2CE
good terms with each other. And when we had to prepare ourselves for 1000Please respect copyright.PENANApDxHse6y8v
the interview, we had to act like nothing was wrong or else Collins 1000Please respect copyright.PENANABdvbbRaeZP
would be up to our necks if he noticed. The rehearsals went on just 1000Please respect copyright.PENANALToxAHyZaZ
fine, but afterwards, my group members never stopped bugging me about 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAAWkviOQuz6
the whole thing till evening, and I had still not said a word.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAR8QFx5ZlPn
"Come on, guys," said 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAIWM6GPuFnL
Zoey who sat directly behind me, facing another mirror and a makeup 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWxsDkwxhPx
stylist was attending to her. "Last night, I tried my best to make her 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwRZQJ8WHuj
talk before we even went to bed. But she wouldn't budge. I even 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmIss4XlqtI
threatened to rip Mr Panda's head off, but she saved the panda before I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAsVn7iUu4OM
could even start the execution."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhN1eGj2ZOX
That was true. Last 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2we8n0Uqk
night didn't end well for both Zoey and I in our room. I was pretty 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkGw6uigIoD
lucky that I even saved the panda before she could rip it's head off. 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKW8SSisA0h
And we ended up going to bed without even saying goodnight to each 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAilpmaxP2PD
other.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA314RoTONJd
"I know you're all dying1000Please respect copyright.PENANAvpjN8CM7mY
to know," I said as I turned to look at Zoey's back. "But believe me 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcKD8Cqlqzb
when I say that I don't know what to tell you."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAn1ASMjDLhZ
"You've been saying that1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmGCKLWMpu2
since yesterday," said Christine who sat in front of the mirror beside 1000Please respect copyright.PENANANrnOo17Wqy
mine, her hair was being curled by one of the hair stylists. "We're 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAOI4bWJBGHS
tired of that, you know?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjGYbSjFDMe
"Then it's best you guys stop bugging me about it until we meet with the others after the interview."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA24EaymwLMr
"I agree," said Daniel. "I hope you and GD clear everything up."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0qVAsWq5FR
"I even tried to talk 1000Please respect copyright.PENANALhqf2FEPPD
about it with G-Dragon yesterday," said Zoey as the stylist put her on 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1i757DqMBo
some eyeliner. "But he never texted me back nor picked up his phone to 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAyfeTc1BJ3n
talk. He just went cold on me."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHffFWBR7Bw
That was GD, alright.I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAX6vzthZ3bY
kept that to myself. Saying it out loud will just create a big mess in 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbCQH1Tsf5b
the dressing room and I wouldn't be able to cool Zoey down.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAXzLUDzX9p0
"I bet he didn't expect it," said Mike. "I think it's better for him not to talk to anyone."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAuRF4Yh6AtC
"True," said Christine.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFaRTovd3sz
"I just hope he is okay," said Zoey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJfyoMYxiCT
I rolled my eyes. Of 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAL42ty6nnoh
course he was okay. That's if he wasn't drinking his life away. Maybe I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAe2Zs7iMlDJ
should warn Zoey. But she already knows about his habit, does she? I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAuAsY2SJQqq
hope so.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwqKW1zEhAn
We dropped the topic 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFiaMDE6aw1
about G-Dragon. Our minds went on to what's going to happen during the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA7ORxGKW1Wk
interview. I was pretty nervous about it since it was our first TV 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0i9XB4ydW
interview together as a group ever since we came here to Korea.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAz0iBOE5Bl8
It was five minutes 1000Please respect copyright.PENANApMnzviaI5u
tillthe interview and Collins came in to check on us. And he came with 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAgjGjmco3Zr
the one person I wasn't expecting to see for the rest of the day. Yang 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA79EQCJ3zst
Hyun-suk.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAXuNyJQ9dnC
I looked down 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjFzX3zb3ur
pretendingnot to have seen the two managers enter the room. I saw them 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFu3lWlqZwo
through the mirror and luckily I was being applied a little bit of blush1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQABGFYmTSQ
by the makeup artist.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAb6ArxcBSYO
"You're all looking glorious today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjEiBdWRksC
He fully got our attention now. We all turned to look at him and muttered 'thank you'.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAAayMPUuuwy
"You have to get ready," said Collins. "You will be on any minute now."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAPJQ8hN9v90
"Don't worry, we have been prepared for this our whole lives," said Zoey. "We won't let you down."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA93dVq2t1QP
"I sure hope so," said Collins. "I'm warning you, Zoey. Don't say anything stupid."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbuxKFUXYT4
"Does that mean I can't joke around, then?" Zoey shrugged.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAl3l65R6E6P
"You can," said Yang Hyun-suk. "But not about him." He pointed to Collins.1000Please respect copyright.PENANARtUUcgNklB
"That, I agree," said Christine.1000Please respect copyright.PENANASBHXVbxIUN
I smiled when I looked at Collins, giving a face to Yang Hyun-suk.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKqYOTqsxCD
It was now time for the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA9uN95VkUHX
interview and when we went to face the audience on set, we were 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaOMW0YBlA5
welcomedwith a round of applause. And the TV interviewer welcomed us so 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhdvjzCrSGl
kindly too.1000Please respect copyright.PENANASmN6oZi9fy
The interview went on 1000Please respect copyright.PENANATiIit3P3kQ
perfectly. We had so much fun talking about our lives and we were asked 1000Please respect copyright.PENANANYELZtHthg
questions from the audience that weren't so complicated. We were having a1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbGi2X31Qgn
good time, especially with Zoey blabbering on and making the others 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJs1xVUZbXO
laugh.1000Please respect copyright.PENANALPTDcgATKO
We were then asked 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMBXnPK4DbC
personal questions about our dating life. That was one topic I never 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA3ABkGPq2l2
liked talking about. But I had to put up a face for the sake of the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAdWI1hxpX8k
audience and the fans watching on TV.1000Please respect copyright.PENANApmkEUgRmVB
As usual, the questions 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAuxJzBMRV0E
were mostly directed at me. As usual, I told the audience that I wasn't 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4sINZCP9f1
ready to date yet and that the right one would come when I least 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAoAxwRmjRou
expected it. And then the question I hadn't thought of in a while, 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHaBeQ2qi2o
raised to the surface.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAORCz5QEevZ
"So, what about you and G-Dragon?" the interviewer asked. "Don't you think you two were meant to be together?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAEcQtgSkXqi
There was a 'whooo' 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5gzWPLdWkQ
thatcame from the audience. I should have prepared myself for this. But I1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKILEybiDPQ
was dumbstruck as I looked at the interviewer who couldn't stop smiling1000Please respect copyright.PENANAXNOClA6JuY
at me, waiting for my answer. He had a very mischievous smile.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0bn1GeTYjb
"I..eh," I hesitated. I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANApWYM0huFbI
probably looked dumb in front of the audience if not the whole world. I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaCbetLEm6L
twirled my curly hair and didn't know what to say next.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVPZaSC1lNY
"No, way," said Zoey 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAdHjRYwcbXY
whosat beside me. "G-Dragon and Sam can never date. Besides, it's not 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVla3HwxtQK
like they would date given that we aren't going to say here for long."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4DMaAjCycf
I looked over at Zoey 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAiIUn5rJWTm
and I could tell that she was offended by the question, now that she and1000Please respect copyright.PENANAsosIsr0ev7
GD have some romance between them.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAs8OxUG7pjB
"Long distance 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ux14nIow8
relationships do work out sometimes," said the interviewer. "And a lot 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2RTdANKsTx
of us would like to hear what BK has to say about it."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1SeN9kdxNK
I gulped and found it pretty hard to speak. Everyone was expecting an answer from me and I didn't know what to say.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAybLHL3v6Ye
"GD and I are just good friends," I said. "I don't think of us dating."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAAED7oclxtm
"But what of those dating rumours that were going around?" the interviewer asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhzchoAeyuu
"We cleared all that in 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWDXCYHDKfq
our last interview with the media at YG," I said. "It's not like the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAreFCVsI7Pk
twoof us ever went out on a date. People like to make up stories. And 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0kyQy4NuaJ
ever since that video got aired on YouTube, that's when all the dating 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhZO2FGBbcB
rumours started."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKbSlfH21gF
"Which was Zoey's fault, by the way," said Mike who sat on my other side.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAq0UJTFOPpM
"You don't have to remind me, thank you very much," Zoey looked at Mike as though she was about to bite him. Mike smirked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANASfN94AHknJ
"But not only did the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAO4Fg3chRvB
video send stories flying," said the interviewer. "When you were done 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUW0Y5qiJgz
with your interview, G-Dragon saved you from falling and that still 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAAp5504BGEH
sparked more rumours."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1nnnEFZv43
"I don't see why people 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6MI0mJr2eM
continued with the rumours, to be honest," I said. "He just prevented 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA7qo0JgUalB
mefrom falling. It's not like the two of us were ballroom dancing or 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMUM2EiMNMw
anything."1000Please respect copyright.PENANArOiIoz6QsU
"Don't you like GD?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAo4k5i2waCV
That was one question I wasn't sure of answering myself. And I had to be careful with what I was going to say.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHHIGC57GQN
"I like G-Dragon, but only as a friend," I said. "A good friend."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWc0Z46DujG
Saying that made me 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAXMXlQVTrzf
feela little guilty. G-Dragon and I still weren't on good terms. If I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAb5a60QMxLI
had achance to set things right, I would. But right now, I felt my 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAt2zBvoQOS5
relationship with him was going nowhere.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4zZtrfHDYz
"So, you don't like like G-Dragon?" the interviewer asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAO17uJkbo26
"No, not in that way, no," I said, shaking my head.1000Please respect copyright.PENANASWDH6doA40
"Well, I think the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUEgNNdcUwu
audience and the rest of the world will agree with me that you two make 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfl06r5g22n
areally cute couple," said the interviewer.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAgmI8OjTE3i
I blushed. That's what 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAnFy1RNBzIl
everyone was saying on social media nowadays. The audience gave out 1000Please respect copyright.PENANApEHe8CBZd9
murmurs of approval. I felt Zoey shift a little uncomfortably. This was 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAGEL9MTfqEG
awkward for me more than it was for her. I wanted to say sorry, but I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0pdDPTocRL
kept it to myself.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAAkGWDx2kYl
"I agree with you," said Daniel. "They just look so cute together."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6BGxh15ARO
"I also agree," said 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVCJBhOOso1
Christine as she giggled. "To be honest, I really thought the two would 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA3kUxHbVzGa
date, but sadly, she doesn't feel that way for him."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAh7mJoS66JN
I looked at both 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2r4UK9VVD6
Christine and Daniel and I couldn't tell if they were joking around 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAiqM6yYmvuL
withme or not. Maybe they were doing this just to intimidate me because 1000Please respect copyright.PENANALtH7O9KHNW
of G-Dragon and I. But they were also upsetting Zoey too. Christine knew1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQpl7l3moiG
better.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfDDxMmIEiS
"Yes, too bad indeed," said the interviewer. "So, moving on...."1000Please respect copyright.PENANALzYkhfGfOf
The interviewer soon 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAqHNZBgvBT5
started to talk about the other BigBang members and we talked about how 1000Please respect copyright.PENANARtnWLOzOXk
great it was to collaborate with them. That cooled things down a little.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAghnNXWKp3U
As the interview was 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAdkH59Dycbe
coming to an end, we performed one of our hit songs in front of the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAyY42BdPQWV
audience. After a round of applause, the TV interview was over.1000Please respect copyright.PENANApaMp3xxj3s
I had to admit, it was 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAtFyN5JfK6q
pretty awesome and we had so much fun. At the end of the interview, we 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmEI883q4SR
took a few pictures with some people from the audience and even with the1000Please respect copyright.PENANApBM25hm2nO
interviewer.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbhdcfsfsZo
It was soon time to leave the TV studio, but we were all back in the dressing room busy chattering about the interview.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAG19sebwvbN
"I had fun today," said Mike.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhwJQxiBHEQ
"I hear we will be having more interviews like this one," said Christine.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfaKLl9o0cB
"That will be great," said Zoey as she had her phone in her hand.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaHpbvRUMPR
"Trying to call, G-Dragon?" I asked as I came to stand beside her.1000Please respect copyright.PENANASCf1rhTk37
"Ya, I left him a message before the interview and he hasn't replied."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA3Dus57CBiL
"Try calling him again," said Mike.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVL3WUlWnMQ
"Better not call him now," said Daniel. "I bet he still isn't going to answer."1000Please respect copyright.PENANADt2V22wSoo
Zoey sneered at Daniel. "You should shut up for once. You have already made me upset because of what you said in the interview."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAdziLenUSHm
"What did I say?" Daniel looked confused as he turned to look at me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANABSHyJjP7hK
"Don't mind her," I said as I held my brother's shoulder and Zoey went to the other side of the room to call G-Dragon.1000Please respect copyright.PENANATFA2a0FhC0
Christine smirked and I knew that what she said during the interview was just to get on Zoey's nerves.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2EXQAJdqwc
"Still no answer," Zoey said as she came back to join us. "Now I'm getting worried."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA49NrUOEQAd
"I hope nothing serious has happened to him," said Daniel.1000Please respect copyright.PENANALn51i1Xi8d
"Well, we have to leave and meet with the others soon," I said. "At YG."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMLtVZQ7q9S
"We're meeting there? Why?" Zoey asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAXe38lqWVxr
"Tae and the others think it's a good place to meet there. We can't go anywhere else."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2mwTtaHDY
"Okay. I hope GD shows up," said Zoey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAsJQB2KUL4H
"Ya, me too." I rubbed my neck, hoping that GD was okay.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYGjZl7yH2K
Lee came in the dressing room and announced that we can leave.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAnZeP0RoKez
"I told the managers that we will need to use the car so they left together," said Lee.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfecSotnqFJ
"Thanks, Lee. We better go."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlOb4wl1QRj
We left the TV studio 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlqzUBhAtl9
and while we were in the car, Zoey continued to call G-Dragon, but to no1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWn9e9niH3m
avail. I decided to call Taeyang instead.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhDHV8qG8Oo
"Hello? Sam?" Taeyang answered.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6rsCM2yHMG
"Hey, Tae, how are you?" I asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAis5daVdACr
"I'm okay. I saw your live interview."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5YKNdEWzdM
"Ya, em, that's not why I called. Have you by any chance checked up on GD to see if he is coming?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAm9OFsMKiJj
"I tried reaching him a few times this morning, but nothing. Is something the matter?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAtZQtQMtmag
"Well, ya. Zoey has been trying to reach him since yesterday, but he hasn't called or texted back."1000Please respect copyright.PENANACRqBqi9bwi
"Let me see if I can call his apartment to see if he is okay," said Taeyang.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAvwF0F3veSI
"Okay, are you already at YG?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANABldqbmspo5
"Yes, I'm here with Seungri."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWuzr8VCo4L
"Okay, we will be right there."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAPcbGZPYtu8
I cut the line and turned to Zoey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAIMf67JQYO2
"Taeyang has no news either," I said.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAojL5rQL60s
"His phone keeps ringing but he isn't answering," said Zoey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANARRLapLFaez
"Why don't you try and call him, Sam?" Lee asked as she turned to look at me from the front passenger's seat.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAiXp3O7zEyv
I went blank. Why was 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAC2BLhRfUa9
Lee asking me to call G-Dragon? Zoey was already freaking out like the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAvZjMr9xpnX
rest of us that he wasn't answering her calls. Did Lee think G-Dragon 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaAVrRidlwC
would respond if I tried to call him?1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhoIttiJQRB
"Why?" I asked. "I bet he won't answer me as well."1000Please respect copyright.PENANANyhZd5Tlh2
"Can you at least try?" Lee asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANACwsTfD5aDk
"There is no harm in trying," said Daniel. "Who knows, he might just answer."1000Please respect copyright.PENANARb6dFyu1E8
I looked down at my phone in my hand like it was some creature ready to bite my nose off at any moment. I hesitated.1000Please respect copyright.PENANANF76MquqeC
What would everyone 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAy90nM89UB5
think if G-Dragon really did answer my call? I would be toast, 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAiI1y6cQK8u
especially with Zoey. The two were like a couple now and it wouldn't 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFOdmJrEn7g
feel right. What the heck, it wouldn't 'be' right at all. What was I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAzSh65QcZYz
going to do?1000Please respect copyright.PENANAAllh2MKDcY
"What are you waiting for?" Mike asked, snapping me back to reality. "Do it."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA58lSQuJDTf
Everyone's eyes were on 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAugJWwVDe3D
me now. And I knew they weren't going to let go of me that easily. I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANArWwR4cblg4
stared at Zoey to see what she thought.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMKr0EiPtjp
"Go on, Sam," said Zoey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3ZU8ixe1y
I gulped and tucked a lock of my hair behind my ear. I unlocked my phone, went to my contacts and called G-Dragon.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAIpWOivAAAG
I put the phone to my 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAsxrQszUF4I
ear and his phone was ringing. I closed my eyes hoping he wouldn't 1000Please respect copyright.PENANATzaBH96HWP
answer. The car had just entered the YG premises. The phone was still 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaDzZUQ6JyE
ringing.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6n38p8timK
"Looks like he isn't answering," I said, when the car stopped. My phone still to my ear.1000Please respect copyright.PENANArVAagYqgW8
"Just hold on for a few seconds," said Lee as she got out of the car.1000Please respect copyright.PENANApflkuObR0i
The rest also got out and I was left alone. There was no hope left. I knew he wasn't going to answer.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA8TKazXx31J
Just when I thought the line would go dead, I heard a clicking sound and I felt my heart stop.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhK5vqHkDE0
"Hello, Sam?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQXQPSXOfRP
I was startled. He 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAt3tM55f1ym
answered. Oh, no. This was what I had feared. My jaw dropped and no 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAC2WW72ihmx
wordcould come out of my mouth. All this felt like a surprise.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA7YJoKyVbAn
"Sam, are you there?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVLTEPDImgP
Thank goodness he was okay. He did sound a bit strange though. Must be that he was drunk or he wasn't feeling too well.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKTtAhcixXq
"I know you're there, Sam. Are you worried about me?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcp85SDY3Z0
"I...mm...I," I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFee7LAYfhj
hesitated. What was I supposed to say? That yes, I was worried or snap 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcWH7W5TOgJ
out of your drunken state and get your butt over here?1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYL7UYQ4517
"Has he answered?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAxB3arJ0cwd
I jumped on my seat and cut the line. Lee was standing by the door of the car looking at me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1yilvyQi4O
"Where are the others?" I asked as I looked outside the car.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFPWoQhI5qr
"They went inside," said Lee. "We better go."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAyhLcWicRAT
I nodded my head. By the1000Please respect copyright.PENANABwb82fkD6E
time I was stepping out of the car, my legs were shaking. And the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA3W3Ax6KJtZ
colour on face seem to have faded away because I felt really pale.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMEb9ATzreN
"So, did you talk to him?" Lee asked again.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA06nKKJkbVq
"I...I..eh."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAonkLOF6nbc
"He answered, didn't he?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwFJmujfmUg
I looked at Lee and I knew I couldn't lie to her. "Yes," I answered.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ2JpJvJ0e
Lee's mouth dropped and she looked at me with so much shock.1000Please respect copyright.PENANARjycjARfGJ
"I knew it!"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAP82DokdKz3
"Shut up, will you? You're going to attract too much attention. Let's go. And don't say a word to anyone."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAxkUtFgZcqm
Lee put her index finger1000Please respect copyright.PENANA78Et8tp4z1
on her lips and the two of us went inside. The others had already gone 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1ERnr8xKRa
upstairs. Lee and I went to join them in the studio.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0eqwYUaIcQ
"Hey, guys," I said when I came in with Lee.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMrK69QmLuz
"My little panda," said Seungri as he came to hug me. "You looked so beautiful during the interview."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA9zMxb07FVz
"Thanks," I said as I blushed and Seungri took me by the hand and took me further into the room.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA7zNWHUQz9b
"You guys were just awesome," said Taeyang as he and I both hugged.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYo9K36nDND
"Thanks. Any news of GD yet?" I asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFOTh1nMOyV
"I tried calling his apartment," said Taeyang. "But nothing."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUD4bJkx9ks
"Did he answer when you called him?" Zoey asked me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAPkR1XXJwLd
"No, he didn't," I answered.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfiUp3dddb0
I should be given the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbAjc4hJfoI
Best Liar Award because Zoey and everyone else believed me for some 1000Please respect copyright.PENANARER9DoJE2R
reason. I looked at Lee and all she could do was nod her head a little 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAoPTA7N9AJg
to assure me that it was okay that I had lied.1000Please respect copyright.PENANANycgkFAy7Q
"Maybe it's best we go and check up on him ourselves," said Seungri.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaLrsjYIYA0
"That's a good idea," said Mike.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAr65TnOHqqY
"Maybe we should wait and see if he shows up?" I suggested.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAk1q6vODkOO
"No, I'm getting really worried," said Zoey. "It's best we go."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5LJ0wYDnwK
"I'll go. Who's coming with me?" Taeyang asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0wQsVdBbvM
"I'm coming with you," said Zoey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANATFm2UVZqEM
"Me too," said Christine.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0vsRwGnw20
"Won't you go along, Sam?" Mike asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAiCmV6cBYb8
"No, it's best I stay here," I said.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4O58my7GHH
"Okay," said Taeyang. "Come on, let's go."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHWUCsxMbry
Taeyang, Zoey and 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAH75FR884mb
Christine left the studio. I went over to the couch to sit. I felt it 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAOFutNWSahq
was a good thing not to go. He was already upset with me. But I was 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWt8XvNpyaq
still surprised he had answered my call.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwCabvprk62
"Why didn't you go with them, Sam?" Mike asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1qlunDhhO2
"Why should I go?" I asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA74J2yRpJdm
"Because everyone listens to you," said Seungri as he came to sit beside me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1ja0I31uj8
"I wonder why he didn't answer your call, though," said Daniel.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2xZKTEqLoB
"Maybe it's because he is ignoring all of us," I answered, as I looked at my fingernails.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJaa6dzdAHj
"I don't think so," said Mike. "One thing I can guarantee for sure, he would listen to you no matter what."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQJmv9O6trN
"Listen to me? For he and I not to be on good terms, he doesn't."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1NkoswS0OX
Lee was still standing in front of me and said, "call him again, Sam."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmvsWLEkScb
I looked at Lee as though she had read out my death sentence.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA74OJl0V7H3
"Are you kidding me? I just told everyone that he didn't answer," I said.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6TdDcxSh21
"Come on, Sam, the others aren't here," said Lee. "Especially Zoey."1000Please respect copyright.PENANADSNUrp5ecK
"Wait, what's going on?" Seungri asked as he looked at me and then at Lee.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAiw1ofy06qT
"G-Dragon answered Sam's call," said Lee.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA022NWEsSTC
"For real?" Mike and Daniel asked at the same time.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAiSCDk3NTQB
"Yes," I answered.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAruuNFNUE6c
"But why didn't you say anything when the others were here?" Seungri asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAoHhVobHd7d
"Zoey," again, Mike and Daniel answered at the same time.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUyZyOc5bFN
"What does this have to do with Zoey?" Seungri looked even more confused.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAm17cktI6s8
"Zoey likes G-Dragon," said Mike.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAqaUbAKLBMZ
"And those two now seem like a couple," said Daniel.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZrVYQyroU
"If Zoey knew that G-Dragon answered Sam's call...."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaTTHbuir7K
".....she would be jealous and throw a tantrum," Daniel finished. The two high-fived each other.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKPHRocsOyI
I was wide-eyed by my brother's enthusiasm with all this. Looks like they already knew about G-Dragon and Zoey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANARHqAiuvvR2
"I'm not going to ask how you know," I said as I folded my arms.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAw0bnmnkZ78
"We figure things out easily," said Mike with a smirk.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAvEERuKLOvO
"Looks like it runs in the family," said Lee as she raised an eyebrow at me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5NMDnlitCV
"I knew there was a reason you delayed to get out of the car," said Daniel.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAXNy6tBmXlq
"At least you didn't tell Zoey," said Mike.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAa96Kl6ufHP
"Wait, I'm so confused 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfqDRPEoqg1
here," said Seungri, blinking his eyes as though trying to see if all of1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYiNYfiHzo1
this was a dream. "Zoey likes G-Dragon. And the two are now like a 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKDKAhMhR67
couple but without the whole world knowing. And G-Dragon only answered 1000Please respect copyright.PENANARVAc1wFFqq
to Sam and not to Zoey and that might upset her because....."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjxKx5IRjYP
"G-Dragon likes Sam," finished Lee. She quickly covered her mouth after blurting that out.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUPVrCj10eO
I turned to look at Lee with a frown. "Seriously? You can't possibly be too sure about that."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA9Rj90isMHo
"It kind of looks like he does, Sam," said Daniel. "It's not that hard to notice."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA8cDm0Hj17I
"Well, I didn't notice," said Seungri.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA7QllBMpiT8
"Let's just skip this 1000Please respect copyright.PENANApAvZORvV68
topic and wait for the others to get here," I said. "By the way, aren't 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhi2hs24PGT
Daesung and TOP supposed to be here?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAGC3kVeb84F
"They would be here in a few minutes," said Seungri.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfCEP29JomZ
"Should we tell them about all this?" Daniel asked looking at me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAuINNJxWTYd
"I don't know," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I really don't care if you tell them or not. That's if they don't tell Zoey."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAL8KNCxqJGK
"I'm just worried about Zoey," said Lee. "Should we tell her?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANANYIW1MrprM
"Are you kidding me? That's one thing we shouldn't do," said Seungri. "Who knows what she would do."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0EcTsa7PWL
"But keeping it from her will just make things worse, especially when she finds out later on," I said.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwqnIXj3u37
"Just think, Sam," said Mike. "Will it be right to tell her today?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAtzhAopdfYT
"No."1000Please respect copyright.PENANASWKDX2FMBX
"Exactly. Zoey will feel hurt that G-Dragon answered you and not her. She will get really jealous."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAtRMHhTtfWY
Mike did have a point. 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHrkzV2Sltn
Telling Zoey was going to be like suicide. She was going to be hurt and 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYTr645jTZE
we first had to clear things up with GD and I.1000Please respect copyright.PENANASznlQ5xlku
"You're right," I said. "No one should say anything."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAawQ3R7DXKq
"Agreed," said the rest as they nodded their heads.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2b7Yoyc6jl
We waited for the others1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUCJJI1dhDK
in the studio. TOP and Daesung came in a few minutes later. We told 1000Please respect copyright.PENANADvhJU7PCU4
them about G-Dragon's recent behaviour. But we didn't tell them about 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAvIFK71FWeN
the supposed love triangle.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMIV4A1Be8C
"These guys are taking 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0mFWjzA1Yv
forever to get here," I said as I went over to the window to check at 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA9rvUD6N4pH
the parking lot. It was now close to three in the afternoon.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfMqojPEsxN
"I told you to try and call him again," said Lee.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAyICGe6W489
"It's best we call the others first," Seungri said as he pulled out his phone. "I'll call Taeyang."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVkRJayMujc
"Please do," I said as I sat back down on the couch.1000Please respect copyright.PENANANfETuccynd
"Don't stress yourself,"said TOP who sat beside me and placed his hand on my shoulder for comfort. "They should be back by now."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAV4DIt8OZSJ
"Tae, where are you?" Seungri asked. "We've been worried sick. Did you find GD?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAzMd4t4x12z
We paused for a while as we looked at Seungri, waiting for what's to come.1000Please respect copyright.PENANASEnkhcfUcu
"What? He isn't at the apartment?" Seungri asked looking surprised.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjbMUgoe0lq
That sent a different atmosphere around the room. I felt my face drain of colour as I started to think of the worst.1000Please respect copyright.PENANATlfVa0jG7V
"Tell them to come back," I said to Seungri. I held my forehead. This can't be happening right now.1000Please respect copyright.PENANARrB4USmc3N
"I told you to call GD,"1000Please respect copyright.PENANA64hkAQylUn
said Lee after Seungri cut the call. "They haven't found him and the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ5uY2Yqq3
day will end without us knowing where he is."1000Please respect copyright.PENANADlBQYyG2sw
"Don't blame me for this," I said. "This is not entirely my fault."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQjpwYv7jkq
"Just call him," said Daesung. "He answered you the first time. He would likely answer again."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAuMXc07df8z
"Fine," I took out my phone and dialled G-Dragon's number. I put the phone to my ear.1000Please respect copyright.PENANApnWx8F0f3U
This time, G-Dragon didn't delay to answer like last time. After three rings, he picked up.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAZCbCUtmVam
"GD, where are you?" I asked. Everyone's ears perked up to listen.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMRdHFmfM0D
"Why?" He sounded normal. Maybe he was sober.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA84ID8TniwQ
"We're so worried about you. We need to know where you are."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjjsXrl1gvt
"Don't worry about me. And tell the others that I'm fine."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkYTucYA3hw
"Then come here at YG. We're worried sick."1000Please respect copyright.PENANANFRojczMhq
"Aren't you more worried about me?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwQZ19MZM8K
That question moved me. I was worried. Dead worried. I needed him back here safe and sound. We all did.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAPKDJZfdogO
"Yes, I am," I said. "I'm really worried. Why don't you come here and talk."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA69o2gz26ey
For a moment, he didn't say anything. All I got was the static silence from the phone.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkXowf2hpGE
"Hello? Are you there?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0iG0Nezg9y
"Ya. I'm here."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcCZqvz3ZAZ
"You will come, right?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWqQUPxX5Zq
"I guess I should."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaHvjbPh8bD
"Yes, please do."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAqccZam5NQt
"I'll be there in a few minutes."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAT8fawwCx3V
"Okay."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAANL24ubU0i
I cut the line. All this1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlnIhqTIKrm
was just heartbreaking. I couldn't help but feel all this was my fault.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmTQf56nN9F
He was hurting and even as we talked on the phone, I could tell. I was 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwwVMAAFpD2
still stunned that he was talking to me and calmly too.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAiJU4GtPvHu
"He'll be here," I announced.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAp1U58WwbTu
"Thank goodness," said Daniel as he stared up at the ceiling sighing in relief.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAvk5YZ4X5O5
"You should have done this earlier," said Lee. "He clearly listens to you."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAIgtgR8DQsj
I rolled my eyes. There was no need to remind me. He might have listened to me now, but I wouldn't expect him to do so later on.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJhz5G87qCy
Ten minutes later, Taeyang and the others came in the studio.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAX9npcGDYBQ
"Any news?" Zoey asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhuzXxmRehI
"He will be arriving shortly," said Mike.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAqybplQlyp7
"You talked to him?" Taeyang asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjjMrsd6tHc
"No, Sam did," TOP answered.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAxaQCw4XlIR
Zoey, Christine and 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFVv6eoeE7V
Taeyang looked at me as though I was an alien. I wanted to slap my face.1000Please respect copyright.PENANATZtOMXBgAE
I should have warned the others not to say anything.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA8g4jnQgvbu
"You talked to him? Is he okay?" Zoey asked in a rush.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4azYtElYgb
"Chill, Zoey," I said as I stood up and walked up to her. "He's fine. He told me he will be arriving soon."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAx69yuQXfPM
"That's good news," said Christine.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA18AxBpYuh6
"Are you sure?" Zoey asked me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAng1JlLBYdd
"Don't worry, I'm sure he is coming. He gave me his word," I said.1000Please respect copyright.PENANABZZ7R6sVan
Zoey hugged me and I patted her on the back for comfort. It looks like she cared more about G-Dragon than the rest of us did.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlvAi4nA9d5
"I'm just glad you 1000Please respect copyright.PENANACkHSv4HTQQ
called and he picked up," said Zoey after she broke away from me. "Had 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5RV8sHVdE2
you been trying to reach him after you called the first time?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANACa5FyIzpP3
Before I could answer, Mike said, "we tried calling him a few times before he finally picked up."1000Please respect copyright.PENANApaNEo2bfSd
My heart settled. I thought he would tell her the truth. Looks like he wasn't that silly enough to provoke her right now.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAszGFxVNjVH
"Did he tell you where he went?" Taeyang asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQyTKZt0sxv
"No," I replied. "He just told me he was fine and that you all shouldn't worry. I asked him to come here and he agreed."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAnAO0QuJVMY
"He is going to get a scolding from me," said Zoey, folding her arms.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAXeXReTrKT6
"And she is back," I heard Daniel mutter and Mike who sat beside him was snickering.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUan2BUyUom
"Just sit down, please," I said trying to calm my best friend. "All that matters is that he is fine and he will be here."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYNNjDvcsPO
Zoey listened to me and sat down. Taeyang and Christine joined her. Before I could sit down, Lee stood up and walked up to me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKnB1V1CCQR
"Can we talk?" Lee asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANACpCkdNfwog
"Huh? Why?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1ssSKQJH9
"Come on," said Lee, as she held my arm. "I want to talk to you about what happened during the interview. Excuse us, guys."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQwkEc6sHzb
Lee was still holding on1000Please respect copyright.PENANADBWTAh46Ch
to my arm as we both left the room and we were in the hall. We went 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6frRqfaBpt
into another studio room which was empty, away from the others.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFGGtpdUzbq
"Why did you bring me 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA3HOSUxsG5x
here?" I asked as I turned to Lee who closed the door behind her. I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMhnVp8f4M0
knewall this wasn't about the interview.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA7heSX4hKDa
"It's G-Dragon," Lee answered.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4o5yiimVOt
She didn't hesitate to say it and she sounded serious. What would she probably want to talk to me about him now?1000Please respect copyright.PENANASOrXfjaDRX
"What's the matter with him?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAF9RYaYLkXw
"I'm worried about 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAnGLXBQ06aN
what's going to happen when G-Dragon comes here and tells everyone why 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAu8u4ykIGvD
he did this and why he is still mad at you."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAn1KDGjqU9k
"You're scared he might possibly tell Zoey that he likes me?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAo478rI4QnE
Lee nodded. I sighed andclosed my eyes. I knew she was right and this might just bring in a horrible argument amongst ourselves.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAyBroT5ywMO
"And what do you want me to do?" I asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANADN7kJZq763
"Talk to G-Dragon yourself and solve this once and for all."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlqafzmL2Wl
"How? Now that everyone knows, they would want to know what's really going on."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAIf2rwwv5SC
"I have myself to blame 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmGMLJgDvPB
for saying all that yesterday. But right now, you guys have a song to 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAuGVZPwJbxY
work on and when things get messy, you know what might happen. And you 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1SIvnkRvD7
don't want your managers finding out about this."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJK8s0vIiiQ
I had to admit that Lee 1000Please respect copyright.PENANANxV8BqWIbq
was right. But what was I going to do now? I just couldn't tell the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAf22glUuNoQ
others a lie. I had lied too much already and I wasn't ready to do so 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAiYnuhrbBKW
again.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAp7VAtuNAMJ
I looked on at Lee and 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAoYLrsFCX75
Icould tell she was feeling bad about telling everyone yesterday that GD1000Please respect copyright.PENANADZs6IMDygC
and I weren't on good terms. But I couldn't blame her for it.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAuN4VqSYNo2
"What I'm I going to do?" I asked as I held my forehead feeling stressed out. "I don't know how I'm going to tell these guys."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFoqQlKv1c5
"I don't know," said Lee. "Maybe you should find a way to talk to GD alone."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfij42RTf7m
"You're right," I said. "But he should be here by now."1000Please respect copyright.PENANACTe4q1I8ML
I quickly pushed myself 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAoagNJzdk9i
past Lee, reached for the door and found myself in the hall. Just as I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANALyTDKaO0Bf
was heading towards the elevator, the doors flew open. And as though I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAnOIxzxa3hB
knew he was coming, G-Dragon stepped out.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAuWoriibty4
I breathed out a sigh of1000Please respect copyright.PENANARRfH5grLMU
relief. He was okay. Thank goodness. He didn't look drunk either or was1000Please respect copyright.PENANApgSMB32443
he? It didn't matter. I caught up with him just in time.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAqzBACffUXS
"There you're," I said as I got closer. "Thank goodness you're okay."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAMgrm0GBgiV
He didn't say anything 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAF9cnaLnKLA
as he looked at me. His deep dark eyes were trying to find its way to 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlAUDRlQsQc
mine but I was avoiding them. I didn't want to look him in the eye and 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbuqliacEfY
see how he felt. I didn't want to lose focus with what I was about to 1000Please respect copyright.PENANACsxWCbzvds
say.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAgS591wTMe3
"You were worried about me," he said, his voice with almost no emotion.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA9G2SoDMlFK
"Of course I was worried. And everyone else too."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAEBpsjoPSTL
"You of all people should have been the least worried."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAT0Hkbvg1F6
That was cold. I looked him directly in the eye. He was hurting alright. And he was hurting me too.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAqYaXnRh7Hc
"I don't care what you think, Kwon Ji Yong," I said. I was kind of surprised that I had called him by his real name.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbdq6vckS1E
"Excuse me?" G-Dragon raised an eyebrow.1000Please respect copyright.PENANASfkOVilP8w
"You heard me." I took a1000Please respect copyright.PENANAdQDRiAFWXQ
step towards him. "I don't care what you think of me anymore. I'm tired1000Please respect copyright.PENANAm83hMEedmc
of this crap. It's time we laid the cards on the table once and for 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2zR0gaNCKl
all."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAuUjosRuwkJ
G-Dragon shrugged. "What?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANADxVHq1IpBZ
"I want to know what issue you have with me. In fact, I don't want to know, I need to know."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2hSjbvkgz9
"Aren't you just acting delirious?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANANWKnPirEF3
"How I wish I was," I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAww5JxzHZev
took another step forward. "But even from miles away I could tell you 1000Please respect copyright.PENANArkmkhaNBX2
hate me for some reason and I want to know why."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAtea1hEe3dJ
"Now you're just crazy."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0ATOF5T29b
"Crazy to know the truth? Yes, I am."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVfdsz0SaHO
He didn't say anything. 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAerp2Tb3z1t
He just looked at me still with no emotion. That irritated me a lot and I1000Please respect copyright.PENANAOuAvlFQuSQ
felt like shaking him to get the truth out of his mouth.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAnunm7bwhf3
"I thought I was going to explain that in front of everyone," said G-Dragon.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQSEsn0bbPW
"And how am I so sure you aren't going to tell a lie?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAB3gqdWFn3z
He didn't answer and I knew I had him.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAdR8VPCfCOj
"I don't want to involve the others with something personal. It's going to affect them. Especially Zoey."1000Please respect copyright.PENANALfiQwvgBR6
G-Dragon looked surprised. I bet he didn't expect me to know about him and Zoey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaslU7qsoaz
"I know you wouldn't like to hurt Zoey, at all," I continued. "That's why you and I need to resolve this issue now."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJFXjMjsjcS
"What issue?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAzWYxmZOEfp
I shrugged. "I don't 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAExaJPKrRyZ
know. You tell me. I know it's not about what happened after the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlmzHCbUo9v
Caribbean Bay incident when I suggested that we should all participate 1000Please respect copyright.PENANARq9QeGsSV1
in writing the lyrics for the song, it's something else. And you have 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAOpTPmTgbXp
been giving me a hell of an attitude because of it."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAerk5jPNWbn
"Nothing is wrong, Sam."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA3ko3r6J8Sn
"I'll believe you when I stop seeing the hurt in your eyes."1000Please respect copyright.PENANADGFbn6wF68
G-Dragon took one step 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJrEULcp5Rf
closer to me and that left a small gap between us. I held my breath for a1000Please respect copyright.PENANAEpcIZpViKF
second. That was sudden and I tried to keep my composure. Looking at 1000Please respect copyright.PENANACOLK62hreQ
him made me weak in the knees and I felt like at any moment, I would 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYEv9iMOOpQ
fall to the ground.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAK6Ae9Wb1ho
I was so caught up in 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2VHvua7lSY
his eyes. And with him so close, I couldn't break away from his spell. I1000Please respect copyright.PENANATMZGrqegTh
hated him for this. I hated him for a lot of other things too. How he 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAC0zFd4ahuP
made me feel like all I wanted was to be in his arms.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAz1JSBQU5BU
I had been locking all these feelings I had for him for the sake of so many things. For the group, for my career. For Zoey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAgfMgYD9B5Y
I wanted to push him 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2IxI04TYSE
away. I didn't want to him so close to me. His manly cologne filled with1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6Segp1aNiq
rich spices intoxicated me and I just wanted to breathe all of him in 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ok3e8EkOH
me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUcfXSeNDOz
He continued to look at 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5gIaD6zfNX
me and at that moment time had stopped. Everything around me seem to 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcqcGzghbkp
disappear and it was just only me and him left alone in the world.1000Please respect copyright.PENANArJ6tiWyVQO
"Would you be able to 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYfHOcBtTBE
take away the pain? My pain?" he asked as he came closer to whisper in 1000Please respect copyright.PENANANX6vbyVoa9
my ear and his deep husky voice made my heart beat faster and I felt 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAAAsTZDfddS
light headed.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA8NsHKG9Ws2
I didn't say anything. I1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlYWLrO1Ho0
couldn't say anything. He had me under his spell and he knew it as his 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVSJpMzTwUx
lips brushed against my cheek leaving behind electric sparks, making his1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmN0veElavG
way towards my lips.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAOAgyFWZmoX
I felt his hand on my 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA7aoJeI60yQ
waist and he pulled me closer to him. Our bodies touched and his touch 1000Please respect copyright.PENANALP7HefKlvQ
on my waist sent chills down my spine. His lips were now so close to 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA57tRyFEG4P
mine. Any wrong move and I would kiss him. I tried to get myself under 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA7zINmGPN7F
control, but I couldn't. I was caught in his web and I was too light 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAG3j4jtEbHM
headed to break away.1000Please respect copyright.PENANATR8Art6lRc
"Only you, my little kitty," he said as he looked at me with those dreamy eyes of his, "can take this pain away."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVbAlQZuTuO
I closer my eyes ready 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlBWlprKTfQ
to receive his lips. I wanted to kiss him so badly. I couldn't help it. I1000Please respect copyright.PENANAax0nd89hLO
just wanted him to get on with it. I was so thrilled to ride the road 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAxJYXJeUZ8q
of ecstasy.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkRneHozWZP
Then a wave of dizziness hit me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANARcOnuAA9H9
"No."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcuQxoRT9jT
I took a step back and 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAH4DoNZOc67
my head was pounding like crazy. What just happened? For a moment, I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANASvxKWHim7i
didn't recognise where I was and the floor beneath me was spinning. What1000Please respect copyright.PENANASfniwBqKLT
was happening to me?1000Please respect copyright.PENANAkbW7rwD1ev
"Sam, are you okay?" I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUFiFRN86EM
heard G-Dragon's voice, it felt like I could hear his voice from a 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAud3t8zzREO
distance, but he was standing right next to me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAztVR3fNQ98
I looked at the floor 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAxBuRmSfSIO
and felt like I was going to puke all over. I bended over trying to 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAq0jztnwLke
breathe and held my knees to support myself.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5VdSy2Z20D
"Sam," came Lee's voice behind me. "Are you okay?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAE0hMJGAXhZ
I was soon regaining my bearings and I was able to steady myself. I took in long deep breaths, slowly at a time.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAl3Ro4PMcSX
"Hey, what's happening here?" I heard the door of the studio room open and Zoey's voice.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAspjIp0x1JY
I straightened myself up1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVv8H0Jqk0Z
and I realised that G-Dragon was right behind me for support. His hand 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAer8irX8yrr
was on my back the the whole time and I hadn't even noticed. Lee was 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAoTmGqYbhe2
already there, looking at me with concern.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAm2BeFM8LJw
"I'm fine," I said. I was feeling a lot better now. "I was just feeling nauseous."1000Please respect copyright.PENANABCv0ksTI2f
"I hope you aren't sick," said Zoey as she approached us.1000Please respect copyright.PENANARGPmmlHpsj
"No, Zoey, I'm fine, don't worry."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAweYMrWY6IC
"Come on, we better go inside," said G-Dragon, his hand still on my back. "You look really pale."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA9uV0Pks7nU
I nodded. I couldn't 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAw9gtUdoFzb
help but realise that all of this was just weird. How had I become so 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAT32Vrbapyu
sick all of the sudden? Did I need to go for a check up just to be sure 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAuNomzPDHki
that I was alright? I don't know.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlrpunoilCZ
When I came into the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAn2BEQ4oZCP
room, I was soon surrounded by the others asking questions all at the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlPaR1DcAFO
same time if I was alright. Their random questions almost made me dizzy 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjMsKYF5uZQ
again.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAPE04elThoP
"Guys, make room or else she is going to faint," said Lee, trying to move people aside as I came in futher into the room.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWs14V44xzR
"People, I'm fine," I said as G-Dragon still followed behind me to the couch. "You don't have to worry about me."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6DiIiqvlYM
"Are you okay?" TOP asked. "What happened to you?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4PF6P4pra
"Nothing, I just felt dizzy," I answered.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKBmrs56JTT
"Are you sure? You don't need a doctor?" Taeyang asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAtlgVqEIwUp
"Believe me, I'm okay," I managed to put up a smile.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAsUXchntUTy
"Well, at least the person we wanted to see is here," said Zoey, her hands on her hips as she looked at G-Dragon.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA9mQhINVzgR
"Ya, we were worried sick about you," said Seungri.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAfgX2dYV7kc
I quickly sat down on 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAxfawdWSIFz
the couch, not ready for what's to come next. I wasn't in the mood to 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJlz8tBf5fi
start arguing with G-Dragon. I would let the others handle him.1000Please respect copyright.PENANANgqGf3WV5M
"Where did you go? Why weren't you picking up my calls?" Zoey stood right in front of G-Dragon like an angry girlfriend.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA58Dtj6yJ6G
"I was around," said G-Dragon.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAn56BX3dXme
"Around where? Be more specific!"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAD3i3kQAS9R
"Zoey, chill," said Lee. "You're angry and you're not okay."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA6X5fSbZczr
"I was sick and worried about him. We all were."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAtjEalJP0bY
Well, not me. That's according to G-Dragon of course. I looked away remembering those words and they still stung like hell.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhHMhjqpBzK
"I was around town, just going here and there," said G-Dragon.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaSbOwGgfhH
"You have a lot of 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAoMHRAE4auI
explaining to do," said Daesung. "But now, we have other things to look 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAQDYIGYQX9O
at. Why you and Sam are arguing again."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAbOBLYLoRQe
I looked at Daesung and I1000Please respect copyright.PENANABoWQNaibjN
would've told him that we weren't necessarily arguing. I kept my mouth 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAgxwPq2PHWS
shut. I felt more of the victim and it was best to keep quiet on my 1000Please respect copyright.PENANACJ7cJLvxit
part. It was then that I remembered what Lee told me when we were in 1000Please respect copyright.PENANApYbbbQcEbD
theother room.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAg6frX7y0VR
I looked up at the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAf00wBMZRiV
others and they looked like they were all about to gang up on G-Dragon 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYZwFyFNOLR
when all they wanted was an explanation from him. All of this was 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwHDK3EYdMd
frightening.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAirTFBmLFva
I knew he was going to 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHjUvKMIZZP
tell them a lie. I wouldn't blame him. Besides, this only had to do with1000Please respect copyright.PENANAoAnils5bCn
me and him. No one else. If he had to tell them, something told me they1000Please respect copyright.PENANA5TneeF74Sf
wouldn't even believe him.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmnD9QzQbdN
I looked at Lee who 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJAc9B9LwkF
stood behind the others. She had been looking at me the whole time 1000Please respect copyright.PENANApJgN8ek5vr
trying to get my attention. She had a warning look in her eye, telling 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAIQmrJJZJmw
me to do something.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAea2yFCzKVC
But what was I supposed 1000Please respect copyright.PENANACNsoM6YdJK
to do? All this was just getting more complicated and I feared I might 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA1apSGP2BMR
just make it as worse as it already was.1000Please respect copyright.PENANASPVVZ5J8XA
"If you want to know, then fine," said G-Dragon.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAPa7FvF8XOd
I looked up at him. Oh 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcrg5xPe3w3
no. Was he really going to tell them the truth? Right now, I couldn't 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJD5R5ALIID
even tell for sure. I wanted to know the truth for myself and not 1000Please respect copyright.PENANADsHLDynQ4U
involve anyone else.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwEHVTSlqDz
What if in the attempt 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJJte6ISRQz
to tell truth he ends up hurting Zoey? I still wasn't sure why he was 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAEATIkIGPuk
giving me the attitude, but if all this was going to hurt everyone in 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAmhCtK8sxFL
the end, I better do something. And now.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAEhKVo622mI
"All of this was nothing but a misunderstanding."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAAOhSoLqn09
Everyone turned to me now. I stood up from her couch. Thank goodness I wasn't feeling dizzy anymore.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAOKOb0nNzVa
"What?" Christine asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYlLhWrTOHN
"All of this was nothing1000Please respect copyright.PENANAxXbwnpkqMS
but a misunderstanding," I repeated. "We talked about it in the hall 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAOz6fz72DOH
when he came and you don't need to worry anymore."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhbeY4soWxV
Everyone looked at me now and I could tell they were as confused as ever. I had to sound more convincing. 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAuvuhLPtLZx
I put up a smile and said, "you guys were taking this all too seriously 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAuPYFSGzMWi
for no good reason at all. Lee made everything sound really serious when1000Please respect copyright.PENANARLz63v9xrj
she told you yesterday."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAPqORyqiv0N
"Wait, so what was the argument all about?" Mike asked, looking confused.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAsRA6JKczfn
"Well, G-Dragon and I had gone somewhere on Sunday, to get smoothies." I looked at G-Dragon 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWyBh2d4dnp
and he at me. "We were joking around until I joked about something 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAb2XKvZPyPu
personal.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2YBoKyDOW4
He was upset and though he was acting like he didn't mind, he was still1000Please respect copyright.PENANAPZpX2Tu2Mn
giving me an attitude. I told Lee about it and that's why she said all 1000Please respect copyright.PENANACggyBRAknT
that yesterday."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA24aO3VcgRY
Lee wiped her brow and 1000Please respect copyright.PENANArsCSTq82QX
looked relieved. I started to feel that way myself. I could feel the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANABhrIcUWlbJ
tension from G-Dragon slowly start to disappear. I turned to look at 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAsW63RpBgM2
him.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ5q03AcBi
"I'm still really sorry, GD," I said. "I shouldn't have said all that."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAYt2iNy0Id0
I shouldn't have done 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAl0dVrhNAGx
what I did for you to hate me. That'swhat was in my heart the whole 1000Please respect copyright.PENANACtVE46cifO
time. I wanted to say it out loud so that he should know. But that's 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlMQwGl5L6v
just going to raise everyone's suspicion.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAnOxP8xZrNN
G-Dragon continued to 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4gb0Bi3eFr
look at me, and in his eyes, he knew exactly what I meant. I was hoping 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWa985GHP4i
he would forgive me but I was wasn't raising that thought too high.1000Please respect copyright.PENANArFtwf5OHWM
He nodded his head and 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAjFsJLyZ63q
didn't say a word. That meant he still hadn't forgiven me for something I1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVwsNgiFjOl
didn't know I had done. Well, I might have an idea why but I had to be 1000Please respect copyright.PENANARk3PJcE0kj
sure from him.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAk8QveGAML0
"Oh, thank goodness," said Christine and Seungri at the same time.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA13dARsBb3R
"I thought it was something so serious," said Daniel. "I was expecting a juicy story. Thanks for nothing."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAexKofsiDIf
I bet the juicy story might be about G-Dragon liking me. My brothers were such a menace sometimes.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAhM6cbwKePJ
"Don't blame me for this," I said as I raised my hands in surrender.1000Please respect copyright.PENANALEl2ElD34O
"It's my fault," said Lee. "Sorry, guys."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAD4bu8ItEty
"We would've been doing other things by now if it wasn't for this," said Taeyang.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAt6V1RMBpEx
"And by other things, you mean, Hyo-rin," I said with a smirk and Taeyang confirmed it with a smile.1000Please respect copyright.PENANADJIxuj4ksA
"Well, now that the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAL7kDsi1yW7
drama is over," said Zoey, as she hooked her arm around G-Dragon's 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAR2i7cr9DLr
elbow. "Why don't we do something fun? The day is almost over, you 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAg5I5z1xNeo
know?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAwGxLJ7rRGk
"I agree," said Daesung.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFM7RN9krcs
Everyone else seemed to agree to go out and have fun. Lee and I hadn't say a word.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAIMDuKV63du
"Aren't you coming along, sis?" Mike asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANArkvtDQ1KRa
"Arrh..." I thought for a while. Should I go? "No, you guys go ahead and have fun."1000Please respect copyright.PENANABlUKGtCJvH
"No! Sam, stop being a party pooper for once in your life," said Zoey as she stomped her foot on the ground.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFH0FWByUs8
"Guys, I need to rest. I1000Please respect copyright.PENANAguFhQ6Ai0M
must have felt dizzy because I still didn't get enough sleep after 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAumAAuUTu6F
finishing up the lyrics. And you guys came with all those presents the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAFH9JOmj4uX
other day that made me restless. The interview made me all the more 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAgMeDx18IgX
tired."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAS4X2a6IP4C
"Ya, true," said TOP. "I can see the bags under your eyes."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAuZpOzMZVFV
I knew he was just joking around and I smiled. I tried not to take notice of G-Dragon's sharp gaze at me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0r0QTYB7kV
"Fine, we will see you later back at the hotel to come check on you," said Daesung.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVx1oebxXTt
"Okay, then let's go have some fun then," said Seungri.1000Please respect copyright.PENANADYVCNwycIx
One by one, the others 1000Please respect copyright.PENANASG7BQD95zQ
started to leave the room. Seungri with my brothers and Christine went 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA8HYZcK1k51
out first. Taeyang and TOP also left soon after. That left the two love 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAv1X1xH7Q0v
birds with Lee and I.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAoXAv96uD2c
"Make sure you get enough rest, okay?" Zoey said as though she was giving me instructions. "We still need you for tomorrow."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA4J0SeWBSDz
"Of course I will," I said. "You guys go have as much fun as possible."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAZBj3oCdZyS
"We certainly will," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA0KU8VqR9zR
"Come on," said Zoey tugging G-Dragon along with her.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAGSiEaSsNbA
When they had left and 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAn6NoFWRyQt
closed the door behind them, I waited for thirty seconds to pass until I1000Please respect copyright.PENANArUAIN33R8V
dropped myself backwards onto the couch as I closed my eyes. I sighed 1000Please respect copyright.PENANArANgJShPfy
in relief as I slumped myself on the couch.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAJd3Kwa8kZo
"Phew! That was close," 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcLGiGoNkY1
said Lee as she rushed to the window. She was obviously trying to see 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAc1CkqFiBma
the others down at the parking lot.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAaoIaJNP0VH
"I've never lied like that in my entire life," I said as I looked at Lee. "And not like that in one day."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAWGpU9S0Exu
"But it's a good thing you did," said Lee, still looking out the window. "Okay, they are leaving."1000Please respect copyright.PENANARFaMqhKoBt
"All this lying has got me hungry," I said.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAa8XezTanRR
"Why don't we go back to the hotel and order something nice for ourselves."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2KEn0NJPJZ
"Sounds like a good idea. We should watch some k-drama too."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHVvsjkQbiR
"That's exactly what I thought. Let's go."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAlwV49NhJgi
"Yes, please."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAl7XmPUeg0R
I quickly got up from 1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2fUgDydxpO
the couch and I left with Lee. I couldn't have felt more relieved to 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVe4Aqg1Sqt
have left the studio. I was feeling too awkward not after what happened.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcgRcVwR1tQ
When we got to the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAgDV4T5r8FJ
hotel, the first thing I did was kick off my shoes and I went in the 1000Please respect copyright.PENANADew5Y0vspq
lounge with Lee. She was already checking for k-drama series on the TV 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAu8vYRzsNbz
and I sat on the couch.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAnPfpmztuaY
"What happened to you when you were dizzy in the hallway?" Lee asked.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAcPUIBg6zqC
"I was having my usual conversation with GD and it didn't end well," I replied.1000Please respect copyright.PENANASp5b4vGzdB
Lee turned away from the TV and looked at me. "Give me details."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAVrqqwIg6tS
I shrugged as I read her eyes. "Something tells me you already know what happened."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ4YcmC5ZN
"Well, hearing you say it was going to be music to my ears," said Lee with a grin.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAeG75VwDdGu
"Pfft, ya right."1000Please respect copyright.PENANADXJh5RkL0J
"Why didn't you let him kiss you, huh?" Lee asked as she sat down beside me.1000Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zp45HMHzp
"I just couldn't let him, Lee," I said as I thought of what happened. "It wasn't going to feel right."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAi8ull0W0fV
"Did you fake the illness then?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANApH98Ku8pnk
"No, at least that was one thing I couldn't lie about today."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAv2S7kOIvF3
"Then what happened?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAeSdKiys3r7
"Guilt. That's what happened."1000Please respect copyright.PENANAqTS9wBSoY8
Lee looked confused for a moment but she quickly understood.1000Please respect copyright.PENANAUcvPYXkY31
"Looks like your body also has a conscious," said Lee. "How righteous of you."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA73sDCCOaFr
"Don't make fun of me, Lee. I just couldn't hurt Zoey. Not in this way."1000Please respect copyright.PENANA14lr4vAWM4
"But didn't you want to kiss him?"1000Please respect copyright.PENANAONDf3q5612
"Well, I did. But I 1000Please respect copyright.PENANATm0aS6Ed3u
don't know what happened. I was so caught up in the moment I had no 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAdbMERMv4cY
control of my own body. Then guilt came in the worst possible way and 1000Please respect copyright.PENANAHZSZUuZnq8
prevented me from doing something I could regret doing afterwards."1000Please respect copyright.PENANATxC0WxfCi8
