I tapped my foot 835Please respect copyright.PENANAZli5KDxjhu
impatiently onto the floor, not because I was waiting for the doors to 835Please respect copyright.PENANAB0HKD4yylH
open. But because I couldn't figure out what to say when I finally got 835Please respect copyright.PENANA4ybg0SGtpx
out. I was scratching my head as I thought of what to do. Was saying 835Please respect copyright.PENANAMA3MMxwlnW
"hi" or "how are you" going to help? I wasn't too sure how I was going 835Please respect copyright.PENANAif4R2OnufG
to start this conversation.835Please respect copyright.PENANAGzLmv8jN4H
And besides, the person I835Please respect copyright.PENANAcMHL6auiT3
was about to meet, wasn't really expecting me to be here. So I better 835Please respect copyright.PENANAwPqI2mrGQG
had a reasonable explanation for coming, which I already had. Or else, I835Please respect copyright.PENANAoy1Egvdg6V
might just kill myself out of embarrassment.835Please respect copyright.PENANAOIkixJbYqZ
There was a small ding 835Please respect copyright.PENANAbQgABRAAdo
sound when the elevator stopped. I realised that I had finally arrived. I835Please respect copyright.PENANAqfLU7mFUUr
looked towards the doors as they started to slide open. I gulped. I 835Please respect copyright.PENANAEI9M1Uxi2R
hope everything was going to go fine like I expected it to.835Please respect copyright.PENANA4T4sQagfGg
When the doors fully 835Please respect copyright.PENANAJDYrFfJgnv
opened, I hesitated to walk out. But then, I stepped out quickly before I835Please respect copyright.PENANA2a44RFmJny
even had the thought of chickening out at the last minute.835Please respect copyright.PENANAMYSKfBevc8
"Zoey? What are you doing here?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAB9P0u64jtP
I was staring at 835Please respect copyright.PENANAIXvPSndHTc
G-Dragon who was standing in the living area of his apartment. He looked835Please respect copyright.PENANAHFNSOeMiEZ
a little surprised by my sudden visit and I could see he was a little 835Please respect copyright.PENANA9275yObJ6N
disappointed too.835Please respect copyright.PENANA4EmCnGN6JD
"Hi, GD," I said as I stood there. "I know you weren't really expecting me here."835Please respect copyright.PENANAeqobAv2Msr
"When I was told a lady had come to see me, I thought it might be Sam," said G-Dragon.835Please respect copyright.PENANAium7w3RF0u
"Ya, I know." I was a little nervous as I played with my fingers. "I had to come and talk to you."835Please respect copyright.PENANAlkXXvMNBkx
"Please, do come in."835Please respect copyright.PENANA2GDPOn118m
"Thanks," I said as I walked into the living room and sat on the couch. G-Dragon sat right next to me.835Please respect copyright.PENANAa1IyskVpQz
"Do you need anything?" he asked.835Please respect copyright.PENANAF0gCmVpajP
"No, thanks," I replied. "I'm good."835Please respect copyright.PENANAq3DLv56Yrx
"How's Sam doing?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAp83Hzk2XGE
"Oh, she's fine," I replied, playing with the strap of my purse on my lap. "Don't you two talk anymore? Like over the phone?"835Please respect copyright.PENANACNhytxhftZ
"We do, but our 835Please respect copyright.PENANAOiNIUfWBg9
conversations don't last long." G-Dragon looked a little distant when he835Please respect copyright.PENANACt0NMaU7Bv
said that. And I could tell the thought of Sam had completely taken 835Please respect copyright.PENANANAUIXdCmku
over his mind.835Please respect copyright.PENANAu47U2vt461
I didn't say anything for a moment as I thought of what to say next.835Please respect copyright.PENANAJmjhC3R42P
"I know you feel bad that Sam's been ignoring you lately," I said. "It's so unlike her to do so, trust me."835Please respect copyright.PENANAWh0Kk24rAG
G-Dragon leaned back on to the couch. "Do you have any idea why?"835Please respect copyright.PENANA1NjIRKYxRg
"Since I know her so well, yes. I do."835Please respect copyright.PENANAX2s6irVMO0
"What is it then? To be honest, I feel like I've done something wrong for her to be ignoring me."835Please respect copyright.PENANASfwIv65ChL
"She's not ignoring you, GD."835Please respect copyright.PENANAmpLvjPzmal
"What is she doing then?835Please respect copyright.PENANAivKoCbYl3l
It's now been two days since we last had a real conversation. That was 835Please respect copyright.PENANAccUH0LS93C
after the issue with Jehan was sorted out at the arts centre."835Please respect copyright.PENANAjBdkZFz5m3
I laughed when I remembered Jehan and his goons being arrested. "I'll never forget that day. It was awesome."835Please respect copyright.PENANALsB2m5TgMT
"Ya. And people can't stop talking about how they loved our performance. And since then, Sam doesn't talk to me anymore."835Please respect copyright.PENANAuPBBGoUHhK
With that last statement, I realised just how sad G-Dragon was with all this. And that's why I was here.835Please respect copyright.PENANAwHIfjrAaRD
I knew Sam had been 835Please respect copyright.PENANAHLEEbzn3Q7
ignoring G-Dragon the day after the arts center incident. She and I were835Please respect copyright.PENANAQfoiANqGhw
in the lounge going through social media, right after I came back from 835Please respect copyright.PENANA4FMhkdVA9i
the police station to give my statement. We kept on receiving messages 835Please respect copyright.PENANAkXAE3of9gb
from fans and family back home because of our stunning performance the 835Please respect copyright.PENANAE70NG6dcF1
night before. When her phone started to ring, she completely ignored the835Please respect copyright.PENANALCi783i3Lk
call. Her phone rang several times that day and it was so unlike her 835Please respect copyright.PENANARFnmH2UiJD
not to answer. When I checked who called, I grew a little worried.835Please respect copyright.PENANAvmrwZzFb2B
The day after, we all 835Please respect copyright.PENANAEANlknCZTD
decided to meet as BigBang and The Toxins, just to hang out. And 835Please respect copyright.PENANAxBpTaVIehZ
surprisingly, Sam wasn't up for it. So she stayed back at the hotel. 835Please respect copyright.PENANAeIfyv5r8LM
Which for me, was so unlike her.835Please respect copyright.PENANAivkgiT19MW
"Why do you think she's doing this?" G-Dragon asked.835Please respect copyright.PENANA2oBoExBm0P
"It's because she doesn't want to get hurt," I replied.835Please respect copyright.PENANAkHD0OagcdF
"What do you mean?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAE8TEXzRtkw
I rolled my eyes. One 835Please respect copyright.PENANAdMDJKGgdTT
thing I didn't like, was explaining things to people. But this was 835Please respect copyright.PENANAwlGktIJdp1
G-Dragon I was talking to, so, I ignored that for a minute.835Please respect copyright.PENANAMCabmDn36n
"Sam likes you, a lot," I835Please respect copyright.PENANAQnPp8upzFH
said. "And she's one person who doesn't like to get too attached 835Please respect copyright.PENANAIL0H66QNkO
because she knows that if she does, she's likely to get hurt. And she 835Please respect copyright.PENANAEScWmFza2M
doesn't want that."835Please respect copyright.PENANAOgf2hPslRf
G-Dragon shrugged his shoulders, waiting for me to continue. "So?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAVQsfXHkaMU
"We'll be leaving soon. 835Please respect copyright.PENANAWle4GzBAac
Well, soon after the music video is released. And trust me, she feels 835Please respect copyright.PENANAqu2x0YuazZ
awful that we have to go. That's why she's practically ignoring everyone835Please respect copyright.PENANAEvM2QONKAT
around her and being so distant."835Please respect copyright.PENANAS0UcTqHuzP
"For a moment, I thought I might have done something wrong."835Please respect copyright.PENANArH1ONNElcC
"You haven't done 835Please respect copyright.PENANAmw71KSczpb
anything. That's just how Sam is. She thinks ignoring you till she 835Please respect copyright.PENANAv00LIWf416
leaves looks like the best solution not to get hurt. But it isn't 835Please respect copyright.PENANAM7tJeYrlrS
working." I said that with a smirk.835Please respect copyright.PENANAr5296IM7fG
"Why do you say that?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAEO0EAoraMg
"I don't really know for835Please respect copyright.PENANALpyWgfz0D7
sure. She's been acting real funny lately. But I can tell she misses 835Please respect copyright.PENANAKTB3O3sEQM
BigBang, especially you. She just doesn't want to admit it."835Please respect copyright.PENANANyBofUokuL
"Ya. The others are really worried about her too."835Please respect copyright.PENANAoBEXAAuTfa
"Why don't you just talk835Please respect copyright.PENANAC8MPuGFVAp
to her personally? In that way, you'll be able to open her up. Because 835Please respect copyright.PENANApCX7HafpA4
right now, she is so closed up like a bud that she isn't even talking to835Please respect copyright.PENANAuYdaIfHe74
some of us either."835Please respect copyright.PENANAY5jGkjTO14
"Wait, she isn't talking to you?" G-Dragon asked with an eyebrow raised.835Please respect copyright.PENANAkCG9grhm2e
"Not really. She just 835Please respect copyright.PENANAkRPYZeaylz
isn't herself is all I can say. But I bet you talking to her face to 835Please respect copyright.PENANA4THDTWOKFN
face will break that little state she's in."835Please respect copyright.PENANARGsJmMTna6
"I have so much to tell her, I'm afraid I might upset her."835Please respect copyright.PENANAvWrIfpNMyG
"Don't tell me you're going to ask her to be your girlfriend?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAEVKEOF7zph
G-Dragon looked at me and I could tell he was blushing, even when he was trying to hide it by putting up a stoic face.835Please respect copyright.PENANAGqxBHbsEok
"How do you know that?" he asked.835Please respect copyright.PENANAIsvvHyGrfz
"Is that not obvious? I know that if you ask her to be your girlfriend, she will say no because of us leaving Korea."835Please respect copyright.PENANAxoUt42yb9q
"True. And she was really strong on the fact that we couldn't be together."835Please respect copyright.PENANAWXeJY8SJBs
"Ya, well, she said that to Daesung, and he understood and respected her wishes. I believe you also have to do the same."835Please respect copyright.PENANAanO5p5FAjJ
"I don't think I want to."835Please respect copyright.PENANA7rjPYU1pQj
"Trust me, GD. If you 835Please respect copyright.PENANAiXENslInbE
really want to be on Sam's good side, you'll do it. Besides, isn't it 835Please respect copyright.PENANAqXQEznKjek
that if you love someone, you will let them go?"835Please respect copyright.PENANA0IxknwuyaO
G-Dragon thought for a moment. "I guess you're right, but, I don't think I want to let her go."835Please respect copyright.PENANAfzCfH6iEw6
"Well, I think you 835Please respect copyright.PENANA0DSntwasHr
should. Don't take this the wrong way," I said quickly when G-Dragon 835Please respect copyright.PENANA6BOZ8qYoIS
gave me a certain look. "But, if you two were really meant to be 835Please respect copyright.PENANAxGKtvHQFhu
together, then destiny in one way or another will play it's part."835Please respect copyright.PENANAq0jNuWfTHp
"You think so?"835Please respect copyright.PENANABxPRkabZZv
I smiled and nodded. "I 835Please respect copyright.PENANAcdJpHKSPcP
know so. I feel she and you are perfect for each other." I tapped my 835Please respect copyright.PENANAF0nbwkw9Ea
chin as I looked up at the ceiling. "But then again, there's Daesung, so835Please respect copyright.PENANAsf2b8LGC4t
I can't really tell."835Please respect copyright.PENANAg2NHzSdQ0f
"Are you serious?"835Please respect copyright.PENANADjvj49H0Mx
"I'm joking," I laughed. "Well, I think it's obvious that she likes you."835Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4RKHfgqqk
"But she kissed Daesung last time."835Please respect copyright.PENANAcfzxK31cHk
"Are you really bringing that up now?"835Please respect copyright.PENANA05J44msXvm
"Just because I like her so much doesn't mean that I can easily forget that. I don't really care anyway."835Please respect copyright.PENANANM2NySdyxJ
I smiled when I realised835Please respect copyright.PENANA5y4wprPMeI
why he said that. He hadn't kissed Sam yet. I didn't want to taunt him 835Please respect copyright.PENANALikRf3NHkb
so I kept quiet. He was already suffering and I didn't want to make 835Please respect copyright.PENANAd25suzhRAk
things worse. But still, I smiled in my heart, finding it so cute that 835Please respect copyright.PENANATx7q9jKaIK
he was dying just to kiss Sam. I was also dying inside, feeling the urge835Please respect copyright.PENANA4Hky6RLLdE
to taunt him so bad.835Please respect copyright.PENANAoHShmx4yWp
"Well, I still think you should talk to her," I said. "Because I'm tired of the way Sam's been acting."835Please respect copyright.PENANAzWXjqdLn18
"But I'm afraid she might not want to talk to me," said G-Dragon. "Should I go to see her instead?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAaRtyM8Jpp7
"That will be so much better. Because calling her just to meet won't work."835Please respect copyright.PENANAPZ4DUXebs6
"Okay, let's go to the hotel right now."835Please respect copyright.PENANACnVNaX6DCy
"You want to go now?" I asked, looking a little surprised.835Please respect copyright.PENANAWHmQWaMlSb
"Well, yes. What's wrong?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAhOO6O4f37F
"Oh, ummm...." I looked away so that I wouldn't have to look at G-Dragon in the face. "She went to meet up with Derrick today."835Please respect copyright.PENANANqu8GYT72m
"What? Why? She went to meet him and not me?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAbq0SO5DHlu
"Stop acting jealous." I835Please respect copyright.PENANAME5wwgTook
turned to look at him, then looked away again. "That's why I didn't 835Please respect copyright.PENANADg7gyinzD4
want to tell you. She had to meet him since he is leaving for Paris 835Please respect copyright.PENANAdEKmnTVxiq
today. Jehan was deported back to France to face trail and he had to 835Please respect copyright.PENANAf05eOKRhvO
leave too. So she had to go and say goodbye."835Please respect copyright.PENANALAk2PvLgOw
"Does she like him?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAF1I7DeSfCf
I smiled and when I 835Please respect copyright.PENANAx0MKyZhPm0
turned to look at him, it disappeared. "She only likes him as a friend, 835Please respect copyright.PENANA7i35fMMkqv
don't worry about it. He's really good looking though."835Please respect copyright.PENANAgdQ7MFYZzu
"I'm glad he's leaving."835Please respect copyright.PENANAuqh4eTHiZW
"Why? You're scared that he and Sam might hook up and date? I doubt it. Not when Sam already likes you. So, I'm not worried."835Please respect copyright.PENANAVA46hduDXQ
"I've to see her though. I've to give her something."835Please respect copyright.PENANAioaZJ9dr3u
"What is it?" Now I was curious.835Please respect copyright.PENANA8WEGegWJpG
"It's a present. I planned to give it to her two days ago, but I couldn't."835Please respect copyright.PENANA18vFImjp6b
My phone soon started to ring in my purse and when I took it out, it was Sam.835Please respect copyright.PENANAE1pp4e3jOj
"Sam's calling," I said as I looked at G-Dragon and quickly answered the call.835Please respect copyright.PENANABWKwoxiELB
"Hey, Sam," I said as I put the phone to my ear.835Please respect copyright.PENANATXqVO67jxh
"Hey, I'm heading back to the hotel," said Sam. "Are you still around?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAIKVgtK4jmG
"Ummm, no I'm not. Are you on your way back now?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAASIQJjWm2V
"Yes. I went to see Derrick off with Christine at the airport and we are on our way back right now."835Please respect copyright.PENANAiaC8mHLJd9
"Alright, then, you'll find me at the hotel."835Please respect copyright.PENANAeEITbEhNih
I quickly cut the call and stood up from the couch. G-Dragon was startled by my sudden quick action.835Please respect copyright.PENANAxODttV9tqV
"GD, let's go," I said as I looked at him.835Please respect copyright.PENANAnOTmMjX6uu
"Where?" he asked.835Please respect copyright.PENANAiVpSeuNPSR
"To the hotel. We're 835Please respect copyright.PENANAROvPNqAtua
going to get there before Sam does. So quickly go and get her present. 835Please respect copyright.PENANAr3mNhRamCh
And whatever it is, I don't want to miss a thing when you give it to 835Please respect copyright.PENANA8v1YCXo8kp
her."835Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZrZx9VA8J
***835Please respect copyright.PENANAGV98wclmCV
Sam's P.O.V:835Please respect copyright.PENANA5ldll4MoAQ
"Do you think the colour835Please respect copyright.PENANApJQZazyEVf
green is going to match with these shoes?" Christine asked me as I sat 835Please respect copyright.PENANAOwo1xyyENx
next to her, showing me a pair of shoes on her phone.835Please respect copyright.PENANAnDtbcMZMm9
"Mmm, they will," I said835Please respect copyright.PENANAJdYl5azSZz
as I took a brief look at the shoes and turned the other way, looking 835Please respect copyright.PENANArQcgZ6KyVh
out through the car window. "Just make sure it's army green."835Please respect copyright.PENANATDAPB9igsv
"Okay," said Christine as she kept on looking at other different shoes to buy online. "I bet Zoey would love these shoes."835Please respect copyright.PENANAotdhnw76uR
"I know she will."835Please respect copyright.PENANAz7OW0phjVW
"Are you okay, Sam?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAvl6IzMT3LP
"Ya, I am," I replied as I turned to look at her. "Just a little sad."835Please respect copyright.PENANAWKZZgiKKhL
"You've been like that for a while now. Anything on your mind?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAtq6hw2fkp0
I thought before I answered, "there is a lot going through my mind. Things that I know I can't change, even if I wanted to."835Please respect copyright.PENANA2isWLCa36l
"Is it about GD?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAKYSym1QZYb
"That and a whole lot more," I said as I gave Christine a small smile. "I'm really going to miss this place when we leave."835Please respect copyright.PENANAHwRF0LPW4Q
"Is that why you're acting so distant with all of us?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAwUm4aLPN1y
I raised an eyebrow and gave Christine a serious look. "I have?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAkTirbGUOEw
"Pretty much, yes. Yesterday you didn't even want to hang out with us. And you've been ignoring GD's calls and everybody else."835Please respect copyright.PENANA2GuPofjO1f
She was right though. As835Please respect copyright.PENANA4ugeoWCnrO
much as I didn't want to admit it, all I was doing right now was to 835Please respect copyright.PENANAWVk2KBdXVQ
completely detach myself from BigBang and this place. I felt if I did, I835Please respect copyright.PENANAHHAHXsA4WW
wouldn't get too attached and when its time to leave, I wouldn't feel 835Please respect copyright.PENANAUTxJfgAPeF
so bad.835Please respect copyright.PENANAM6WxjBeriP
I was always like this. 835Please respect copyright.PENANAiTKZCiHUGq
Not trying to get too attached because it hurts when you finally have to835Please respect copyright.PENANAvNdBvoFcsN
leave behind the people you care about the most. And I really grew 835Please respect copyright.PENANAnPsMFyQfzY
attached to BigBang despite us being so different from one another.835Please respect copyright.PENANAgsAzPqBNH6
And now that I know we 835Please respect copyright.PENANArgFAcYJyHB
might be leaving soon, was killing me. I never knew I would get too 835Please respect copyright.PENANAPdcnTr4Lpx
attached to this place. But with BigBang and the loving fans, they made 835Please respect copyright.PENANAm9h8icztmc
my stay here feel like home. And I bet the other Toxins felt that way 835Please respect copyright.PENANAAL48d4utDm
too.835Please respect copyright.PENANACjeC32Dt1K
"You're right, Christine," I said. "But I can't say that I'm ignoring people. Not in a bad way or anything."835Please respect copyright.PENANAhcOk7nsBhc
"You just want to detach yourself because you don't want to get hurt. We know you all too well, Sam."835Please respect copyright.PENANA9HIE5Yg5nR
I almost burst out laughing. "Ya, you do. I realise that the more I try to ignore them, the worse it is for me."835Please respect copyright.PENANABArV7gY5EO
I looked at Christine who had been looking at me the whole time. "Well, it's about time you admitted it."835Please respect copyright.PENANAUKCQLx1wV1
I leaned back on my seat and looked out of the window staring at the streets of Seoul. I smiled to myself.835Please respect copyright.PENANAitGhUJxZv5
"Maybe I should drop 835Please respect copyright.PENANANatVc895O0
this little act of mine and go with the flow. I mean, I'm leaving, but I835Please respect copyright.PENANA43oVl8yijo
would rather enjoy my last days here and create more memories, you 835Please respect copyright.PENANAPTjpLc8wxc
know?"835Please respect copyright.PENANA7nrzw65Ktx
"You've no idea how much835Please respect copyright.PENANA5n0aOd8IDI
I wanted to hear you say that," said Christine as she held my shoulder.835Please respect copyright.PENANAS48XN4oueS
"Everyone has been so worried about you, they thought you would be 835Please respect copyright.PENANAXVUw0MnSSM
ignoring us forever."835Please respect copyright.PENANAColasS3QVh
"Ha. Even I can't do 835Please respect copyright.PENANA7kEGsrxl3I
that for that long. Trust me, these last few days I have been dying 835Please respect copyright.PENANAaF7GtqVRqw
inside. And I realise how much I miss BigBang."835Please respect copyright.PENANAt2pgt5LHNY
"And what about G-Dragon? Don't you miss him?"835Please respect copyright.PENANA6pE1AbEBFH
I blushed when Christine asked me that. And I felt a wave of guilt flood over me.835Please respect copyright.PENANAd6Me51EetK
"I miss him, a lot," I 835Please respect copyright.PENANAjOJ3WAO2yI
found myself saying, as I thought of G-Dragon. "And I've been dodging 835Please respect copyright.PENANAfKpb2rVmPc
his calls, lately. Only picking up when he calls too much."835Please respect copyright.PENANAvih60X6e6r
"You're so mean, Sam," 835Please respect copyright.PENANAHJXiVNeDIh
said Christine, looking upset as she folded her arms. "You know he loves835Please respect copyright.PENANAepC2mQO3GE
you and you're treating him like he's done something wrong."835Please respect copyright.PENANArMYMC7MW0A
I blushed when Christine835Please respect copyright.PENANAPQuYHm3N2o
said the "L" word. I swore that I even saw the driver of the car look 835Please respect copyright.PENANAuLKP62mCPt
through the rear view mirror and smile at me.835Please respect copyright.PENANAoH85sUckhP
"Ya, I'm horrible!" I covered my face with my hands. "And he's probably been sick and worried about me."835Please respect copyright.PENANAJZtDNd6zoA
"Well, obviously. You've to make up for it."835Please respect copyright.PENANAGmhncWjBWh
"I've to make up to a lot of people."835Please respect copyright.PENANAfjPRNtykWN
"True."835Please respect copyright.PENANAXKNNrbUuaP
"Well, when we get to the hotel, I'll try and see what I can do about it."835Please respect copyright.PENANAyW9tZiVFdf
"Good," said Christine. "I'm glad to see that you're back to your old self."835Please respect copyright.PENANAHUrtlPTp4o
"Mmm, I just hope that the guys don't get mad at me after how I have been treating them lately."835Please respect copyright.PENANACylmzPrsNe
"BigBang? No way. And if835Please respect copyright.PENANAqRvm9BN5YO
it comes to GD, he will treat this like it was nothing but a phase. I 835Please respect copyright.PENANAOkoF3FUKZe
wouldn't be too worried if I were you."835Please respect copyright.PENANABSayVvR9l8
I smiled and didn't say a835Please respect copyright.PENANAlnZ7AwUVjg
word. I knew he would never be mad at me no matter what I do. He's 835Please respect copyright.PENANAbSK3KaiFYQ
proved that to me so many times before, especially when we never settled835Please respect copyright.PENANAQzVtna1zFf
our differences during the first few weeks.835Please respect copyright.PENANADE44WOtqU8
We arrived at the hotel and Christine and I got out of the car.835Please respect copyright.PENANA48sLNYSLUj
"So, are you going to call GD and talk?" Christine asked as we walked into the lobby together.835Please respect copyright.PENANAYuI0xv6mmW
"I have to, don't I? 835Please respect copyright.PENANAixrTSnOFZO
Besides, Zoey isn't around, the boys left with Seungri and Daesung to 835Please respect copyright.PENANAyygNXmUIQl
attend a video game convention. And Lee and Collins are busy as usual. 835Please respect copyright.PENANAGwch4gpj5R
So this might be the perfect time to call him and talk."835Please respect copyright.PENANAbTuPypDJEw
"Will you tell him to come here?"835Please respect copyright.PENANA8CmqVj2OPa
"Ya. I know I should be making the effort to see him, but I would rather he comes here. In fact, let me call him right now."835Please respect copyright.PENANAJLlW6XVGb6
As we headed towards the835Please respect copyright.PENANATnyv3C5kB4
elevator, I took my phone out of my purse and when Christine and I got 835Please respect copyright.PENANAdxjKET1Xi3
in the elevator, I had already dialled his number and had my phone to my835Please respect copyright.PENANAbGaXD4NCXr
ear.835Please respect copyright.PENANAEHbPpaRnSh
His phone was ringing when I pressed the button to our floor and the elevator doors quickly closed in front of us.835Please respect copyright.PENANA4QPN2flE6z
When he finally picked up, he sounded surprised.835Please respect copyright.PENANAv3f0DCozgX
"Sam?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAo6JIw4BtW0
My mouth stayed opened. I835Please respect copyright.PENANAZU0lu8Sx9V
didn't know what to say next. How could I tell him I needed him here at835Please respect copyright.PENANAifIvKs9xBB
the hotel right now? After all that's happened these past two days, I 835Please respect copyright.PENANAtg81DLqBYc
felt a little guilty calling him.835Please respect copyright.PENANACjJ6NI5Ad4
"Sam, are you there?" G-Dragon asked.835Please respect copyright.PENANAv4fT6X5x78
"Hi, Ji Yong," I said, clearing my throat. "Ummm, are you busy today?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAndo4AIMRYb
I looked at Christine who was looking at me.835Please respect copyright.PENANAmJuo45lY8u
"No, I'm quite free today," G-Dragon replied. "What is it? Do you want us to meet?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAxy0xZab3J5
For a moment, I was ready to say, "no, I was just asking." But I went on to say, "yes."835Please respect copyright.PENANATLBtZPcjD3
There was silence at the end of the line and I grew worried. What if he said he didn't want to see me?835Please respect copyright.PENANAxlKN1QcDlA
The doors to the 835Please respect copyright.PENANAcBm5Z0zEpa
elevator stood open and standing right there in the hall was G-Dragon 835Please respect copyright.PENANAhpc6TtloDJ
with his phone to his ear. My heart raced when I saw him and I felt some835Please respect copyright.PENANAUWae9j9nEi
sense of relief. Christine who stood beside me gasped when she saw him 835Please respect copyright.PENANAexdFwatZ7C
waiting for us in the hall. I quickly cut the call and put my phone 835Please respect copyright.PENANA2A7WZobye0
away.835Please respect copyright.PENANA54wTkKI6Dg
"You're here?" Christine asked him instead of me.835Please respect copyright.PENANAnzktgv4VeS
"I had to come," said G-Dragon, his eyes had never left mine as he put his phone away. "She and I need to talk."835Please respect copyright.PENANA0q35woyeAH
Christine stepped out of the elevator and I quickly followed before the doors could close.835Please respect copyright.PENANASeINtCquKn
Zoey appeared from the 835Please respect copyright.PENANAKR2uTGYwUi
lounge and I knew right there that G-Dragon was here because she told 835Please respect copyright.PENANADdA6sd8YO7
him to come. She gave me a smile when I looked at her, and that 835Please respect copyright.PENANACg8IX1U2d3
confirmed everything.835Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ9bJuiUIH
"Hey," said Zoey, giving835Please respect copyright.PENANAYT2wiC6ZHG
me a small wave. "You two need to talk so I figured that G-Dragon 835Please respect copyright.PENANAzmb8pi0k0x
should come here. Hope you aren't mad."835Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ9pDSHBak
"No," I quickly shook my835Please respect copyright.PENANAYSq2a5yC1k
head nervously. "No, no. It's fine. I was also planning on meeting up 835Please respect copyright.PENANA0b1kzoe53Q
with him, so, its fine." I scratched the back of my head.835Please respect copyright.PENANAM3rDeD7tGA
"Ummm," Christine went 835Please respect copyright.PENANAyuemaFM80n
to looking at me and then at G-Dragon, looking confused yet amused by 835Please respect copyright.PENANALYTlmZpKWC
all this and wondering what to do next. "I will....I mean, we, Zoey and 835Please respect copyright.PENANApZZm81CpMg
I, will be in the room if you need us."835Please respect copyright.PENANAWNfq3AsfFJ
Christine and Zoey soon 835Please respect copyright.PENANAw0C4vMmAcI
headed for the rooms. I quickly went to the lounge, without taking a 835Please respect copyright.PENANAvbHjKqNEk3
look at G-Dragon. I could hear G-Dragon coming right behind me and when I835Please respect copyright.PENANArCxrOdx0vI
stopped to stand in the middle of the room, I took a deep breath, 835Please respect copyright.PENANAF8IaEx6BjD
trying to calm myself down.835Please respect copyright.PENANAWNGNXSNsHY
"I'm glad, you wanted to talk," said G-Dragon. "Because there is so much I need to....."835Please respect copyright.PENANAVSGgM33ZiM
I quickly cut him short 835Please respect copyright.PENANApn1cJQtiLm
when I turned around and the next thing I knew, I had my arms wrapped 835Please respect copyright.PENANApxGN1ZNutD
around him in a hug. I can't really tell how all of that happened. It 835Please respect copyright.PENANA81kiEUcepu
felt like an immediate impulse.835Please respect copyright.PENANAoqwDSWnQk5
"I missed you too," said G-Dragon as he also wrapped his arms around me.835Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3V7bior5y
It felt like we had 835Please respect copyright.PENANAe6NWgKXVl8
stayed like that in each other's arm for a while. I wanted to say like 835Please respect copyright.PENANAxGF3JWc2Cp
this forever, but I knew all that was too good to be true. But I knew I 835Please respect copyright.PENANA7926QLGgQd
was never going to regret doing it now because I never know when we will835Please respect copyright.PENANA9JhCGYXHOw
ever do so again.835Please respect copyright.PENANAjmfveYEmla
"I'm sorry," I said as I pulled away from him and looked at him.835Please respect copyright.PENANAl4h0pWJXqm
"You have a lot of 835Please respect copyright.PENANAk7E1et0OIL
explaining to do, my little kitty," said G-Dragon as he held my chin. He835Please respect copyright.PENANANzFYOMntMN
was smiling at me and my heart was beating so fast and I was blushing 835Please respect copyright.PENANAxp1r8Tvsq2
like crazy.835Please respect copyright.PENANAl0CzvCJ2hz
"I know, I'm sorry. It's just that, I've been such a jerk ignoring you like that. It's that I didn't want to get...."835Please respect copyright.PENANAOeb9nZF1Go
"...hurt." G-Dragon finished the sentence before I could. "Zoey told me."835Please respect copyright.PENANA1FVEmocPCo
"I'm surprised that she brought you here." I had my eyebrow raised.835Please respect copyright.PENANAaAOvvXmhHu
"Well, she noticed that you were a bit off these past two days. I was a little surprised myself when she came to see me."835Please respect copyright.PENANAqJqR7RvrDF
I smiled. "I'm glad you came. And I'm really sorry for my awful behaviour. I should apologise to the others too."835Please respect copyright.PENANAtarwD2NMYe
"I'm not mad at you and you don't need to apologise for anything, Sam. I completely understand you."835Please respect copyright.PENANAp2VBwhUktI
I looked down at my feet835Please respect copyright.PENANAJzEe04QgYN
and moved them here and there. I was feeling embarrassed. "You were 835Please respect copyright.PENANA1H2utb5ADN
never mad at me, weren't you?" I asked.835Please respect copyright.PENANArMaAHvWfv8
"No. For some reason I can never stay mad at you for anything."835Please respect copyright.PENANAzFhPwyaAt6
"I'm guessing we have a lot to talk about. Why don't we sit down?" I was still looking down at the floor.835Please respect copyright.PENANAOTJr7JyHak
"Sure."835Please respect copyright.PENANA2ycQA0BAlm
We went to sit on the 835Please respect copyright.PENANAfgsgbDACOa
couch, facing each other. I tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear, 835Please respect copyright.PENANAaI9l0ebTy6
wondering where to start. We sat in silence, not saying a word for a 835Please respect copyright.PENANARDd9O8pGcH
while.835Please respect copyright.PENANAlMtEN7gB6m
"Aren't you going to say anything?" G-Dragon asked.835Please respect copyright.PENANAwQFS4IfCur
"What's left to say?" I asked as I looked at him and shrugged my shoulders. "I can keep apologising if you want me to."835Please respect copyright.PENANArVx1smS7Qd
"I want to know what's on your mind."835Please respect copyright.PENANAQdDB17dIwV
"I thought Zoey already told you."835Please respect copyright.PENANAI3tsKduu66
"I want to hear your version."835Please respect copyright.PENANAD7A5jghic9
I raised an eyebrow. 835Please respect copyright.PENANAEQCoEF3q7W
There were some things I didn't like to explain to people, but G-Dragon 835Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y5E3QnQE9
deserved to know what was in my mind at the moment and how I felt.835Please respect copyright.PENANA16EYiqfEb1
"I'm scared." I looked 835Please respect copyright.PENANA9dPqJuosCx
down at my fingers on my lap. "I'm scared of losing and leaving all this835Please respect copyright.PENANAmK4cAfj6ze
behind. Since I came here, I only thought, I would come here, do the 835Please respect copyright.PENANAJrDUVNS4GI
collaboration with you guys and leave. But a lot more happened. Quite 835Please respect copyright.PENANAmwdQq2mt0e
out of the ordinary, actually. First off, you and I had some unsettling 835Please respect copyright.PENANAvQjKs2kVWC
differences."835Please respect copyright.PENANAVgPfPBvPgX
G-Dragon chuckled. "Don't remind me," he said.835Please respect copyright.PENANAWpYC242e7G
"Then came Zoey and her issue with Jehan. Which, thank God, was all sorted out."835Please respect copyright.PENANAbA4w0uRuJd
"And it was all thanks to you," said G-Dragon as I looked up at him and he smiled.835Please respect copyright.PENANAX9pgAJOOzc
"And after all that, 835Please respect copyright.PENANAlJSo12fwbR
we'll be leaving soon after the music video is released. I know it will 835Please respect copyright.PENANAZL67On0cq2
take a while, but each day that passes by, I feel we might just leave 835Please respect copyright.PENANAoaLhPNU4aG
tomorrow. That's why I've been avoiding you guys so much. Because, I'm 835Please respect copyright.PENANAYZsoNilp1Z
trying to detach myself from all that's happened and the people around 835Please respect copyright.PENANAaLWA6M09cr
me. But that's only making me feel even more miserable."835Please respect copyright.PENANAP4f38bBRpt
"I understand you, Sam. 835Please respect copyright.PENANATY8D5JEGHA
Leaving people you care about behind hurts. But with all the memories we835Please respect copyright.PENANALVDCOgIKCe
have of each other, I don't think you'll ever feel we're apart."835Please respect copyright.PENANAUC0uKs5MyZ
"You're right. I figured that on my way back. And I think it's time I just enjoy my last days here."835Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1OhhOqw0w
"I'm glad," said G-Dragon as he came a little closer. "There is also something you and I should talk about."835Please respect copyright.PENANA48CDYAE5NV
I gave him a questioning look. "What else is there to talk about apart from my unusual behaviour?"835Please respect copyright.PENANA8vwTYttlCn
"You and me."835Please respect copyright.PENANAP7LP4fnOmP
My eyes grew wide and my sudden surprise soon turned to sudden frustration.835Please respect copyright.PENANANzptDtRTfb
"Please, not that!" I shook my head, feeling uncomfortable. "I don't want to talk about it."835Please respect copyright.PENANAnocpfFqTyX
For whatever reason, G-Dragon didn't take my reaction seriously and just laughed. I turned to look at him and I was startled.835Please respect copyright.PENANADrf2NwThwP
"Now I see why you've been specifically avoiding me," said G-Dragon. "It's because of us, isn't it?"835Please respect copyright.PENANApv5VHpI2Kj
I sighed as I gave in. 835Please respect copyright.PENANAGi1szqe7ih
"True. It hurts to know that you and I can never be....you know." I 835Please respect copyright.PENANA4aI5MKC4Ue
hesitated to say the word. But I carried on anyway. "I'm still going to 835Please respect copyright.PENANAxAlrhR4tBc
stand my ground on this one. And I'm just hoping you won't be stubborn 835Please respect copyright.PENANATvPqCACMED
enough to disagree with me like you have always done."835Please respect copyright.PENANA8AcbhiR06p
"I completely agree with you, Sam."835Please respect copyright.PENANAWBqYKJmAKi
"Huh?" I was confused. "Did you just say you agree with me?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAA15dELi59N
"You heard right. I know I've disagreed with you on that part, but I'm finally going to give in and let all of this slide."835Please respect copyright.PENANAoVLZXyfVDp
Out of nowhere, a smile 835Please respect copyright.PENANAbgS5hAuTP0
appeared on my face and my heart felt overjoyed. But there was still 835Please respect copyright.PENANAXkxXt4bh1Z
that sinking feeling in me. And I knew it was because of the fact that 835Please respect copyright.PENANAP5Djh8h5ST
he and I had finally agreed to be friends and nothing else.835Please respect copyright.PENANAYYwgp8KZNq
But maybe it was best for things to be this way. We were never meant to be from a long shot.835Please respect copyright.PENANAzzUjQAYJJp
"Hearing you say that feels like a surprise," I said.835Please respect copyright.PENANAlZoZJwWya9
"I also can't believe 835Please respect copyright.PENANA7ePCi7AU3g
that I'm saying this either. But, if fate wants us to be together, then 835Please respect copyright.PENANAoonJBL3jdC
it will play its part, wouldn't it?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ2ENkvogn
I slowly nodded my head. "You're right. Zoey convinced you to all this, didn't she?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAecfIqiNsEG
G-Dragon raised an eyebrow. "How do you know that?"835Please respect copyright.PENANA9Fz5Pv8fUj
I smirked. "I could tell when my best friend is trying to help out. That's another reason she came to see you, I bet."835Please respect copyright.PENANA1W23ItdE1e
"Looks you're really good at figuring things out. And I never knew Zoey could give such great advice."835Please respect copyright.PENANAWjG2JuPNKn
"She's a ninety percent of crazy and a ten percent of sensible. That shows she rarely gives good advice to anyone."835Please respect copyright.PENANAoD8UubQpOY
"Hey! I heard that!" came Zoey's voice coming from the room.835Please respect copyright.PENANAR25UC6sCX0
I looked up at the ceiling and gave a little laugh. "Making fun of Zoey never gets old."835Please respect copyright.PENANAElLRZDCZ6a
"Ya, but she isn't that bad either," said G-Dragon.835Please respect copyright.PENANAxdXbRiEYLn
"Awww! Thanks, Ji Yong!" came Zoey again.835Please respect copyright.PENANAIGoKxVbytW
"Can you please you step away from that door? We're having a conversation here," I called out to her.835Please respect copyright.PENANAQXTpRkBJwi
"Fine! That's why you're no fun!"835Please respect copyright.PENANAnxNByT9FEt
"Yet, I wonder she stuck with me in the first place," I muttered, playfully rolling my eyes.835Please respect copyright.PENANALEB6QRAUef
"Oh, Sam," said G-Dragon. "Do you remember I had something for you? I was planning to give it to you two days ago."835Please respect copyright.PENANAMilOwKNAFj
"Oh, ya, I remember. Do you have it here with you?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAkJowseaF9J
G-Dragon had his hand 835Please respect copyright.PENANAUfUiFjagGS
behind him and he soon brought out a black fancy looking jewellery box. I835Please respect copyright.PENANAOMWJUWdKU0
could tell there was a necklace in there. But what kind sent me 835Please respect copyright.PENANAaOlSfUGYZs
thinking.835Please respect copyright.PENANAozjqIyMVJg
"You got me a necklace?" I asked as I looked up at him.835Please respect copyright.PENANAtufTtOAa2V
"Yes. I bought it the 835Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2Aef23VIQ
time I went to Paris with Zoey and the others. Zoey was planning to give835Please respect copyright.PENANAdbx7bR2KHa
it you, but I took it from her and wanted to give it to you later on."835Please respect copyright.PENANAeSwe0o6yKd
"Ha! I knew you got that necklace, GD! How could you!" came Zoey's voice for the room.835Please respect copyright.PENANAz9kK78I1yI
"Quiet down!" came Christine's voice. "You're ruining everything!"835Please respect copyright.PENANAEb8Uj9lUT4
"Sorry! Carry on! Pretend I never said all that!"835Please respect copyright.PENANAmYHI6Pp5Bq
"Anyway," said G-Dragon, trying to put all that Zoey had said behind him, "it's yours."835Please respect copyright.PENANAA3xxBb8UtK
I took the box from him 835Please respect copyright.PENANAqOkrP6K243
and when I opened it, what I found inside wasn't what a could call a 835Please respect copyright.PENANADoJDyd3pZk
necklace. It was a pendant. A silver pendant with a music note studded 835Please respect copyright.PENANAtKBmX9LdjL
with real tiny diamonds.835Please respect copyright.PENANACyJ9tnTJBR
I was stunned at first as I looked at the beauty of the pendant. I took the small music note in my fingers and looked at it.835Please respect copyright.PENANA4kbA6W4n1Y
"Wow, it's so pretty," I835Please respect copyright.PENANAj6ivPfkvGp
said, looking at it with so much awe and wonder. "I've always wanted to835Please respect copyright.PENANAyEzOGQnSwg
get this kind of a pendant. It's just never crossed my mind to buy one 835Please respect copyright.PENANA6AvgHhTfRg
on my own. I'm always so forgetful of the little things I truly want."835Please respect copyright.PENANAH4I9tVUi6I
"Just so you know, Sam, I picked that for you!" came Zoey.835Please respect copyright.PENANAmayE5BnHbb
"Be honest, Zoey!" G-Dragon called out to her.835Please respect copyright.PENANAjqXiLqUfNX
Zoey sighed loudly. "Fine. Lover boy picked it for you and I agreed because you've always wanted one of those."835Please respect copyright.PENANATpEqOXQK6G
"Well, I've to say, you really guessed right on one of the things I really wanted," I said as I looked at G-Dragon.835Please respect copyright.PENANAGNVDJV7bZj
"I had a strong feeling you would like it," said G-Dragon. "I'm glad I was right."835Please respect copyright.PENANAVzIexrI7zH
"Will you help me put it on?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAbCQzgZ0yw9
Christine and Zoey squealed and giggled with glee. I for one, was very annoyed.835Please respect copyright.PENANAM7WsycbbqX
"Don't mind them," said G-Dragon as he smiled. "Let me."835Please respect copyright.PENANA482pSQeZIZ
He took the pendant and I835Please respect copyright.PENANAAR9epG0vmD
turned to face the other way, my back facing him. I lifted my hair off 835Please respect copyright.PENANAsXXNAkpHZE
my back and the pendant soon came around and landed on my chest. 835Please respect copyright.PENANA77qarzA8Ij
G-Dragon fixed the silver string behind my neck and when he was done, I 835Please respect copyright.PENANAr2F45Xijwu
put my hair back down.835Please respect copyright.PENANAYIEvGIMlq1
"Thank you so much," I said as I faced him again. "It's really lovely."835Please respect copyright.PENANAIc9hTjb04S
"I know, it's gorgeous,"835Please respect copyright.PENANAEvsn0dCA5M
he said as he took the music note hanging on the silver neckline and 835Please respect copyright.PENANA9YRtsrPtYU
looked at it. "Music has always been your driving passion, Sam. That's 835Please respect copyright.PENANATWa4NO5ill
why I got it for you. And with this, I hope you will always remember me 835Please respect copyright.PENANAFaDrusw9LZ
like a musical melody that you can never get tired of listening to and 835Please respect copyright.PENANAo0iImQxcCi
you will listen to it forever. Like a symphony."835Please respect copyright.PENANAYzMv4t3YOh
"You will always be my symphony, GD," I said as I held his cheek and then, the unthinkable happened.835Please respect copyright.PENANA6j4zlxUOEY
I brought my lips close 835Please respect copyright.PENANAX4sKNXPrSM
to his and I kissed him. He immediately responded and opened his mouth 835Please respect copyright.PENANALl4g6SO7LV
to take me in. I had to admit, the kiss sent me to a whole new world and835Please respect copyright.PENANALco9d2Jcms
there was this driving passion that I never wanted to ever be 835Please respect copyright.PENANAB0m4ncNdsX
extinguished. My heart beat so fast and my insides tingled by the sudden835Please respect copyright.PENANA4YDZaEFRrq
rush of ecstacy. G-Dragon had pulled me closer to him and I wrapped my 835Please respect copyright.PENANAj329OYtQfD
arms around his neck not willingly to let go.835Please respect copyright.PENANA9jTGIlGZOO
We broke away from each other and I felt starry-eyed by all of this. And I blushed like hell. Did I really do that?835Please respect copyright.PENANAsaQtepGeeH
"Wow," said G-Dragon as 835Please respect copyright.PENANAfhM1VqRER8
he looked at me in the eyes and even he himself couldn't believe what 835Please respect copyright.PENANALV68gQpWBJ
had happened. "Did you really just kiss me?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAa04EzNd6hN
"I don't know." I was confused and I soon felt so embarrassed. "Did I?"835Please respect copyright.PENANALAzRL7cOAy
"You did. And I loved it."835Please respect copyright.PENANAyKVQvZJ4ed
"Don't say that," I said835Please respect copyright.PENANA3CKoP5xupC
as I moved away from him and pulled my hair back from my face. My face 835Please respect copyright.PENANAGqfBqzGcqW
was as hot as ever and I felt like splashing water all over myself.835Please respect copyright.PENANAnSUxBNOcBe
"I'm being really honest835Please respect copyright.PENANAQjgi7lvM1a
right now. That was so magical, Sam." He moved closer and whispered in 835Please respect copyright.PENANADh4jmSZuqE
my ear. "And I would do it all over again."835Please respect copyright.PENANAcRVJhcoUYW
His voice gave me 835Please respect copyright.PENANAUeRRtt0MNg
butterflies in my tummy and I felt that tingling feeling rush through me835Please respect copyright.PENANAY64XIxLaVO
all over again. I looked at him and by surprise, he wrapped his arms 835Please respect copyright.PENANArXeS6QZ1l8
around me and kissed me. And now, I realised I wanted this more than 835Please respect copyright.PENANAlbtuBhFoo2
ever. Him being so close to me. I never wanted to let all of this go.835Please respect copyright.PENANAVqKMYP98VA
After we broke away from835Please respect copyright.PENANA3MluuAXMLs
each other, I didn't feel that much embarrassed as I did before. If 835Please respect copyright.PENANA4Oiz6HJNsK
anything, I was still blushing but this time, I felt a certain glow from835Please respect copyright.PENANAGM1LXftKIM
my cheeks.835Please respect copyright.PENANAtInKKyZA34
"I never knew you're such a good kisser," said G-Dragon as he bit his lower lip.835Please respect copyright.PENANAN3ckuGn47l
I was staring at his 835Please respect copyright.PENANAHg14yenbp8
lips and I wanted him to kiss me again so bad. But this time, I smiled. I835Please respect copyright.PENANAYNzzgtbUuh
knew he was enticing me to kiss him again, not this time.835Please respect copyright.PENANAyfPqjXCfD1
"Don't push it," I said as I finally stood up from the couch. "This is going to be the last we will ever do this."835Please respect copyright.PENANAC03SimB35a
G-Dragon also got up and835Please respect copyright.PENANAqZA32gu1Qj
from behind, he wrapped his arms around me. Gosh! He was killing me 835Please respect copyright.PENANA62FFBG65Ou
inside and he knew it. I couldn't stand it when he was so close to me.835Please respect copyright.PENANAUGVxZKQw5r
"Do we really have to?" 835Please respect copyright.PENANAJY3fh501Xc
he asked as he whispered in my ear. Again, that tingling feeling. It was835Please respect copyright.PENANAAAnGOIXoSd
driving me insane. "Because I loved it so much."835Please respect copyright.PENANAaJNf57mTu6
"We agreed to be friends and I'm planning to keep it that way."835Please respect copyright.PENANA81Z3s94LM2
"Okay, fine," he said as he dropped his arms around me and I turned to face him. "The queen has spoken."835Please respect copyright.PENANA5RsgYJR0IZ
"Don't mock me," I warned with a smile.835Please respect copyright.PENANAP0zG4LMKKU
"You know it's going to be hard to forget what just happened."835Please respect copyright.PENANANwzpkAWngA
"I know. But in one way or another we have to."835Please respect copyright.PENANAvswfq5n5CM
"I'll always love you, Sam."835Please respect copyright.PENANABolMf3BqPy
The whole world seems to835Please respect copyright.PENANAgTeFzKS0EB
pause when he said those words. I tried to speak but I couldn't make 835Please respect copyright.PENANAC3xfczfmkY
the effort of opening my mouth. Why did he say that? Right now, I was 835Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4r4tHntMS
stunned.835Please respect copyright.PENANAnSNJduV1f4
If his plan was to make 835Please respect copyright.PENANA7yD4nV7MrJ
me look like a lifeless statue, it pretty much worked. All he did was 835Please respect copyright.PENANA5C7NyWaLaA
give me that devious smile of his and I just stood there until Christine835Please respect copyright.PENANAzHQnGfHZHT
and Zoey finally showed up.835Please respect copyright.PENANAOISHoqgwqQ
"Hey, you two are too quiet," said Zoey, then she looked worried when she stared at me. "Oh, no."835Please respect copyright.PENANAdBSppdurA6
"Dang, GD. Don't tell me you used the 'L' word on her," said Christine. She winced.835Please respect copyright.PENANAiE8tT7TEWS
"I did," he said confidently.835Please respect copyright.PENANATlTFykjRvD
"Sam, Sam, if you hear me, just breathe," said Zoey.835Please respect copyright.PENANAXrvs9umUgo
"I can hear you loud and clear," I said. "I don't go deaf when I'm stunned, you know?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAWQqTe5iwvx
"A lot of things happen when you get stunned. In high school, there was a time you cried out of the blue."835Please respect copyright.PENANAPiHgfEJiyJ
"Don't remind me," I 835Please respect copyright.PENANAW4Vw5QzbxQ
said as I rubbed my head. I suddenly had a huge headache. "That was a 835Please respect copyright.PENANA6ba96m5V7u
long time ago and I was pretty emotional that day."835Please respect copyright.PENANAuZxbCiama0
"If I knew you'll get like this, I wasn't going to say that," said G-Dragon.835Please respect copyright.PENANApK7LbrM6Cq
"I should have given you a heads up," said Zoey.835Please respect copyright.PENANAGRuampG5Nn
"No, it's fine. I'm also sorry. I should have said something in return," I said.835Please respect copyright.PENANASkhr7ZpJzg
"No need," he said. "I know you also feel the same way. It's just hard for you to realise it."835Please respect copyright.PENANA7dcVpT2Kso
Before I could say 835Please respect copyright.PENANAVdeUSfiu73
anything, Christine immediately interrupted by saying, "with all of that835Please respect copyright.PENANAiLxqPZeIyN
lovey dovey nonsense aside, Mike called and asked if we could all join 835Please respect copyright.PENANA7arhOCNvqJ
him and the others for lunch. Are you two up for it?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAm9kRg6XG0F
"Ya, sure," said G-Dragon. "Are you okay with it, Sam?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAkwuzQy8LpA
"Yes, I am," I said. Finally, something to keep me distracted.835Please respect copyright.PENANAEGcmwMtPNR
"Let's go then," said Zoey. "I'm starving."835Please respect copyright.PENANAQjVGaHTxln
"Tell me about it," I said as I went over to the couch to get my purse.835Please respect copyright.PENANAWjIIE5n34Y
"That's such a pretty pendant," said Christine as she looked at my pendant as the four of us made our way to the elevator.835Please respect copyright.PENANA1kqqBz4zAi
"Thanks," I said.835Please respect copyright.PENANAXW8NyUg4Dt
"May I ask something?" Zoey asked me as she pressed the button for the elevator lift and the doors flew wide open.835Please respect copyright.PENANAFiKwmzEh4t
"What is it?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6jWfxGUN4
We all went in the elevator and Zoey asked, "for G-Dragon to finally say the 'L' word, you two kissed, right?"835Please respect copyright.PENANAvukqu2NEcp
I never said a word as I835Please respect copyright.PENANAiLQCrspPEF
stood still and the doors to the elevator started to close before us. 835Please respect copyright.PENANAmRH28e7PgJ
G-Dragon smiled, Christine silently giggled and I was praying for this 835Please respect copyright.PENANAwamN0JhRPy
day to end.
