I couldn't keep my mouth closed, and my eyes were filled with wonder as I looked out the window. The car we were in drove through the streets of Seoul with the sun beginning to set in the west and the street lights starting to brighten the streets. The city is just as beautiful as I imagined it. The beautiful skyscrapers, bright TV bulletins, and neon lights almost felt like home in L.A. or New York. But the signs and words on billboards made it quite clear that we're in South Korea now.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAEMeV1l3z9z
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA6bjZ3Od8qa
"Wow, this place looks awesome," said Daniel, who sat beside me and was also looking out of the window.1126Please respect copyright.PENANADSVJBfVVPB
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAOzAYCpFIAS
"I know, right? It's like a dream come true that we're here," said Christine, who sat behind me.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAmcv8iQXKmx
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAHjllxJWShP
"OMG, is that an ancient palace?" I asked when I saw what looked like one from afar. Before coming here, I made sure to Google some wonderful sites I would like to visit. I had a huge interest in ancient palaces.1126Please respect copyright.PENANANlu2fQMNm4
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAKQA5M1te39
"It is," said Collins. "Beautiful, isn't it?"1126Please respect copyright.PENANAHGvUT7Ufon
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAVckj80Ahu7
"It sure is," I said with a smile as we quickly lost sight of it.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAa4iLNXiuJ3
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA4kFk1SnK8r
We continued to follow the car ahead and soon found ourselves at a beautiful hotel: the Seoul Hotel. Before we could get out of the car, bright, flashing lights came into view through the windows. The paparazzi. It looks like news travels fast around here too. These people always made me feel uncomfortable.1126Please respect copyright.PENANANZZ0j3e7fP
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAK1VF5sankz
When the doors of the car flew open, Collins and Lee stepped out first. Mike, Zoey, and Christine excitedly followed. If there's one thing they like about being famous, it's the bright lights and attention. Even though we've been in the spotlight for almost two years, I'm still not used to it, especially dealing with the paparazzi and reporters. The attention I get from my fans is more than enough.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAWk8rkXIxYV
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA6D1LdxPWim
"Hey, aren't you coming?" Daniel asked, bringing me back from my thoughts.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAIn1XIVIaFc
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ6EwwzBNW
"Yeah, I am," I said, trying to pull myself together.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAfqAH6ITOsQ
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAPW6ZQBv3Kg
"I know you've never liked this, but The Toxins aren't The Toxins without you," he said, giving me an encouraging smile.1126Please respect copyright.PENANA2ycNByXnTe
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA46q8eCKagR
"It's going to take years for me to get over this."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAhi8FzPTnAR
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA3arJvOuMbH
"Yeah, I know. Come on, we have to go."1126Please respect copyright.PENANA4rmR0TqPvm
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA3rpRukQBlf
Daniel got out of the car, leaving me all alone. I take a deep breath, getting myself ready to step out. Before I could even get the chance, a hand appeared before me. G-Dragon is standing outside the car with his hand stretched out for me to hold on to. For the moment, I can't stop staring at him. I looked at his hand, then back. I don't know what to do, and I couldn't help but blush.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAaZVyulAnh3
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAK35Ac6htnU
"Come on, we're all waiting for you," he said with a smile. "Take my hand."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAuvCv5D89my
1126Please respect copyright.PENANASjjxFPCTAq
I continued to look at him, contemplating what to do next. I finally took his hand, and he delicately held mine, slowly leading me out of the car.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAAfblFg2oZp
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAoHNaIQtukc
The flashing lights of the cameras turned on me immediately after I put my foot out. When I fully stepped out, G-Dragon stood beside me with his hand still wrapped around mine. The cameramen and reporters were calling out to me to grab my attention. This is the part where I always try to get over my irritation and smile.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAGrmBxPgQJq
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ6snKGSHZ
G-Dragon led me down the aisle that led to the glass doors of the hotel. The rest of The Toxins and BIGBANG were already ahead, getting their pictures taken, but soon most of the media's attention turned to G-Dragon and me. They kept on calling out to us, and we paused to have our picture taken together. I am already losing my nerve, and all this made my body go stiff.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAku1GPmAMzX
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAcf5mWe0328
"Woah, relax, B.K." said G-Dragon as he smiled for the camera. "You don't seem too comfortable."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAnh5bcCZTdK
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA6ay5UHwX9G
I blush. It looks like he read my body language. Well, this is embarrassing.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAwDfATCmBH5
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA6PbWD9C9LP
"I don't like getting all the attention," I told him as I spoke in his ear.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAtEsmqI1x1G
1126Please respect copyright.PENANALM1V4UxqPD
"You deserve it." He said this while he looked at me. "Just like the whole world has their attention on you, you have mine too."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAgXjxaUhoRh
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAUMpTX9hQ0x
Is he flirting with me? I can't tell since I can't think straight with all that's going on around us. I hadn't noticed that we were so close and that he was still holding my hand. Likewise, I wanted to pull away, but that would only look rude in front of everyone. It would also be a juicy scene for the media to show and tell.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAtpIwRD3vSL
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA6su04p8xjD
He gave me that irresistible smile, and I felt like melting. He left me utterly speechless.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAJQJQQgeHMI
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAAMLIFWfTYI
"Come, let's join the others," he said, and we continued to walk hand in hand down the aisle.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAc9msRtJhiE
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAAVqiAynuRv
When we got to them, we all took several group photos together. Afterwards, we went through the doors of the hotel. The media remained outside as the security guards barricaded the doors. It's always a relief to get away from those vultures.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAGiFVX6gn7O
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAiAunLdOiys
"I think you can let go of my hand now," I said as I turned to face G-Dragon.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAw5sXyzcGLW
1126Please respect copyright.PENANArOE0MkmX8I
"I let go of your hand, or you let go of mine?" he asked.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAMax4qNrWlo
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA9oPGQpSmxJ
I got confused, and the smirk on his face almost made me lose my mind. I want to look down at our hands, but that would only make things even more awkward. He's doing this just to torture me.1126Please respect copyright.PENANANBvFk1kB8d
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAMj3J00Fom5
I quickly slipped my hand away from his and folded my arms. He smiles and walks away, slightly brushing my shoulder with his, intentionally. I let out a sigh of relief when he left to join the others. Is it just me, or did it feel so hot in the lobby that I couldn't even breathe?1126Please respect copyright.PENANAzfYYJRFb4b
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA8FGMSlsjbu
Collins, Lee, and Yang Hyun-suk were by the reception desk, checking if our rooms were ready. The Toxins were huddled up with BIGBANG, talking and laughing about who knows what. They all seem to be getting along just fine. When I look around, I notice that the guards inside the lobby have made a circle around us. People were coming from the elevators, and others using the stairs coming into the lobby had their eyes on us. Some even had their phones out, taking pictures and videos. A small group of teenage girls were excited upon seeing The Toxins and BIGBANG together.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAOnM7vPYVtU
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA2bHSXGP3tE
"I see that Ji Yong is troubling you," said Taeyang as he came over, breaking away from the others.1126Please respect copyright.PENANA5BJMzex6Er
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAwzmQSPi8CB
"Well, not really," I said. "And here I thought Seungri was the devious one."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAl9O512KeRc
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAKtOTJBuPVt
"Don't mind him. He does that all the time."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAkRbYsDUFlz
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAzxdeiaqD6x
"Does he do that just to make any girl fall for him?"1126Please respect copyright.PENANAPIA6aZonpZ
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAbWfV6ITVNb
"Not really. The thing is, no one ever knows what his real intentions are."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAWhoMDVJUoA
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAcufKCe45fn
"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind." I smiled.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAADdItL26X1
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA8z8Z6CRWsY
"I noticed that the two of you were holding hands earlier. That's going to be all over the news."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAlFuVzKWy8W
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAu4LiPYJoSe
"Yeah, I'm definitely screwed." I playfully hit my head with my hand, laughing nervously. "People would start to think otherwise, huh?"1126Please respect copyright.PENANAK47aYQRZLy
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAcTeI1NVrlp
"I don't think people would come to any conclusion. You just met."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAiSoxmy35Fn
1126Please respect copyright.PENANApsUISZAUBN
"Yeah, I guess so. I worry for no reason."1126Please respect copyright.PENANArrB5lXoMbM
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAqgteXFZAI1
"Don't feel relaxed, though. The media knows how to twist things around."1126Please respect copyright.PENANANH2Ar1lK5x
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAvsN03TSP2u
"I've been there before; it did not go well."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAwxd5QmzJqC
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAewzw7pvQJq
While Taeyang and I continued talking, we soon heard noises. There seemed to be confusion outside the circle of guards. The next thing I knew, I felt something grab my leg, and when I looked, I gasped.1126Please respect copyright.PENANACa5N53IgUa
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAksH6rzZUWj
Holding onto my leg is a beautiful young girl in a lovely white dress. She looked to be three to four years old. And I am captivated by her cuteness.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAPuotCgRXCI
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAX7o4ZM6Zkz
"Aww, look who we have here," I said softly. I went down on one knee after the little girl let go of my leg. I gently held her chin up, and she gave me a bright smile. Likewise, I smiled back.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAnTcKQTANa9
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAcITJAiMFzb
"She's so cute. What do you think?" I asked Taeyang.1126Please respect copyright.PENANA6PLOqq6x0b
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAGJsLd7GJEd
"She is," he replied. "It seems she likes you."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAOISnVRGCjV
1126Please respect copyright.PENANASTtAgwoDZc
I smiled at Taeyang, and I looked back at the little girl. She stretched out her hand to me, and in it was a beautiful white flower, which she held by the stem. I looked at it, then back at the young girl, whose bright smile made my heart flutter.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAfh2xuyIfyd
1126Please respect copyright.PENANABVQZJlhcpJ
"Is this for me?" I asked softly.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAJflVKqrmJv
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAdiPisdPIoB
The little girl nodded, and my smile widened even more. I slowly took the white flower, then carried the little girl in my arms, hugging her.1126Please respect copyright.PENANApK372OLMWN
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAzmL2T4RTf2
I noticed that all this took everyone's attention, and people were either filming or taking pictures. They still kept their distance because of the guards. I stood up straight with the girl in my arms and ran my hand through her black, silky hair. I start to look around for the girl's parents when I see a woman standing outside the circle, staring at the girl in my arms. It seems like she's the girl's mother because she had a look on her face only a mother could have. The little girl looked on at the same woman, and I made the connection. I make my way over to her.1126Please respect copyright.PENANA48flAU5kuA
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAyiXQrlcKu4
"Sorry for the trouble," the woman said to me when I got closer. "She can really be jumpy sometimes."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAVEvf0Oh6dN
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA4LND7sxL4W
"No, not at all," I said. "You've got a very beautiful daughter."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAm3KXWGQrmE
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAqpaLC8LHVh
"Thank you," the woman said with a smile.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAgwUVH4cdLu
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAuTrRhmXS15
The guards standing between the woman and me made way, and I gave the little girl back to her mother. The girl waved goodbye, and I also did the same. The woman took her daughter away, heading for the elevator. I looked at the flower in my hand and smiled. When I turned around, everybody else in the circle, including the two managers and Lee, was staring at me.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAMT9txviedZ
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAqg55r0A6pN
"What?" I shrug my shoulders.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAxoGNw7llAT
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAOg8poRItrn
Taeyang looked at me in a way I can't describe. I can't tell if he was amazed at what happened or at me. In any way, he made me blush, and I felt uncomfortable in my own skin.1126Please respect copyright.PENANA22InwcyEiy
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA8e794wmXA1
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask him.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAW3TeMWoaQz
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAybvmpbFn4f
"Um, nothing," Taeyang said with a smile. "I was only wondering. That little girl really likes you, and you seem to be good with children."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAwAPayRa5C5
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAfG0OcclCCa
"Or she was just an adorable, cute fan of mine that managed to pass through the guards just to give me a flower."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ3Ol9PFZd
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA4k1hKmGsPJ
Taeyang laughed, and I blushed even more. I looked the other way so that he wouldn't notice.1126Please respect copyright.PENANA7K0u962w6J
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAjV6IgU4bYb
"You don't know how valuable you are, do you?"1126Please respect copyright.PENANAgdie1jkXUV
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAnQNUjjTzmN
I look at him, and my heart begins to race. What did he mean by that? Somehow, I felt like I knew, but I didn't want to acknowledge it. I looked down at my feet, not even willing to look up.1126Please respect copyright.PENANArk7gXYnd4l
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAPeK4iCqtqu
I felt Taeyang hold the bottom of my chin with his fingers and slowly lift my face to stare into his kind eyes. For a moment, I got lost in them.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAFA3z9gUIRe
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAafQDUkt2wZ
"Did I say something wrong?" he asked softly. Damn! His voice was like music to my ears, and I felt so drawn to him. Wake up, Sam, I told myself. I have to snap out of it.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAFDeZZAcmR3
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAE9dCqtsjnJ
"I'm sorry if I did," he continued when I didn't answer. Dang it! That sweet voice moved me again. "But you do know how extraordinary you are, don't you?"1126Please respect copyright.PENANA4biUMlorag
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAUGZc7yLloL
I swallowed. That's one question I couldn't answer. Luckily, Collins announced that it was time to go up to our rooms. That's a relief. At the moment, I wanted to be as far away from every BIGBANG member as possible.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAOBysGfJp6m
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAg955FfXmav
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey, who had a huge smile on her face as she headed for the elevator. Christine and Daniel followed.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAG0T3BUY8Eu
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA4KBcc0EDV1
"I better get going," I told Taeyang.1126Please respect copyright.PENANA6dSAutspHx
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAJmib4Ue3Iu
"See you tomorrow, then," he said. "Maybe then we can get on the dance floor and see who has the best moves."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAlDC8Ju7nQy
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAvV4DSLCGzt
"You're on," said Mike as he walked past us, joining the others in the elevator.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAViRrVpIj8G
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAcMcKjn2p1v
"I'll see you tomorrow," I said.1126Please respect copyright.PENANA2eJoc7E9nF
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA4DxQZOS4lQ
"Make sure you dream about me, alright?" came T.O.P.'s voice as he came and whispered right in my ear. I didn't see him coming, and I felt a chill run down my spine at the sound of his husky voice. These guys are driving me crazy.1126Please respect copyright.PENANA2FLzP1rQO8
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAqrloXQncDV
"See you tomorrow, T.O.P." I turned around to face him as he gave me that bad-boy smile of his.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAiL7971H3Oe
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAIYLEESoDnR
I said goodbye to Daesung and Seungri, who both hugged me in return. G-Dragon came over, and I wanted to roll my eyes at him but surprisingly failed to do so. I'm not ready to put up with him again. I felt like running for my life towards the elevator, but I stood there, waiting for what was to come.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAgueuwiRL3c
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAGWRuGUx1yc
"Goodnight and sweet dreams, my little black kitty," he said softly. My eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he said that.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAm66wS8pov2
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAU9rgutcmew
"What did you-?"1126Please respect copyright.PENANAiI5DpGagoh
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAvjP2TB5aCY
Before I could finish my sentence, G-Dragon quickly pecked me on the cheek. I am so stunned that I can't move. I didn't know he would do that, and it felt wrong on so many levels.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAdWz51deqYI
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAeF3alJrtTA
When I gather my composure, I quickly walk away and join the others in the elevator. Before the doors closed, I looked up to see G-Dragon staring at me with that corky smile on his face, and he gave me a wink.1126Please respect copyright.PENANA60RqAjY3sC
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAZjPeGMo99j
***1126Please respect copyright.PENANAVAhrBM5lll
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAAawY0kvjsY
"What just happened out there?" Zoey asked.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAJhu2ulxCn7
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA6gAiPNGi8C
I threw myself onto the comfortable bed, landing on my back with my eyes closed. I want to forget all that has happened. Furthermore, I feel so tired, and I need to rest, but my mind won't let me. And so is Zoey.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAAgCndkXflT
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAMP2BdYK4Mk
"Hello, B.K. I'm talking to you." I felt Zoey come to sit beside me and shake me.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAAcjEzWmeyO
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAmtGfFA832b
"May I please rest?" I whined with my eyes still closed. "You know I'm tired."1126Please respect copyright.PENANA0hBRjhN6iL
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA3TUaSZV8jy
"You aren't resting until you tell me what happened down there in the lobby."1126Please respect copyright.PENANARPJ6YZe8pz
1126Please respect copyright.PENANARBaYYNv9Cu
"So many things happened today," I said as I opened my eyes. "I suggest you be more specific."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAKeztFAVIDj
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAJmeeo2aqZG
"Let's start with the time you were walking down the aisle with G-Dragon."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAAZZMzhQYtN
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAIu3boajFeG
"What?" I sat up. "Don't tell me you are jealous."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAnyGPSoYfEr
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA8XIsVVLxsF
"You heard me. Start talking." Zoey looked at me in a way that my mother would whenever I did something wrong.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAesMojuUmr6
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAkCHBApVOoL
"You're jealous," mocked Christine, who sat on the other bed opposite Zoey and me.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAVdj558eozX
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAPdvtYTUW54
"Christine, ssh! Come on, Sam, start talking." Zoey looked serious. That didn't shock me at all.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAdXpubxw8mB
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAcKZzPTjwXZ
I shrugged my shoulders. "It was nothing, really. He just helped me out of the car, and we walked down the aisle together."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAHAxwLK2Jy6
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA3ak5v4Pg9L
"Really? You two were walking down the aisle like newlyweds! And he gave you a goodbye kiss before we left." She sighed. "I wish he gave me one too."1126Please respect copyright.PENANA36bkHRymFd
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAbu0PmYlueo
"You're overreacting, Zoey." I roll my eyes. "It's not like we'll ever be in a relationship. Apart from being friends, that is."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAohwKUlj4ly
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAwXQmZZhME8
"I know," said Christine. "We just met these guys today, and you're already making a mountain out of a molehill."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAlvYTJFVktU
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAU1yXZO7cwM
"And you think Taeyang wasn't drooling over Sam in the lobby?" Zoey asked. "I thought you liked Tae."1126Please respect copyright.PENANA4GuxAZkufe
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAxRbI319jYf
"Yeah, but he's already dating someone else, so I'm not worried," said Christine with a smile on her face. "I only like him because I'm a fan. You, on the other hand, are acting like once upon a time, G-Dragon was your boyfriend, and then you two broke up when you just met him face-to-face today."1126Please respect copyright.PENANA1JM33Yw4X9
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAzAQzIQJAET
"I agree," I said. "You are one hell of a drama queen, Zoey. You can have G-Dragon because I'm not interested."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAIyTRlNNpWx
1126Please respect copyright.PENANARFxMsDx0xn
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I might have been a little jealous."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAMF7qUhTFAY
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAoWSBwxSLyr
Zoey gave me puppy-dog eyes so that I could forgive her. I smile and shake my head, but she persistently continues with the look.1126Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ngca8euPJ
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAonQAzuC13f
"Please stop doing that; you're no longer three." I laughed.1126Please respect copyright.PENANA1fc67i1sAs
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAttXYiXffoE
"Whatever. I'm just excited that I'm finally in Korea," she said with a grin.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAqcUGveyBif
1126Please respect copyright.PENANATrFBUBg48M
"Yeah, me too." I stood and walked over to the window. The sky was completely dark, and the bright lights of the city shone brightly in the dark night.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAw2WBy5pNxY
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAqC0tF709HZ
"So, Christine, you're going to share the other room with Lee," I heard Zoey tell Christine. "Sam and I will be in this room. Wow, these beds are so comfortable." I hear her bounce up and down. "I'll sleep like a baby tonight."1126Please respect copyright.PENANA2N74CqaIdo
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAd38INanIfp
All of a sudden, the door to the room flew open, and Lee came flying in, landing on the other bed Christine is sitting on. We all look at her, wondering what's going on.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAD4YhIiVOBW
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAKvspA6BoTR
"Hey, are you okay?" Christine asked.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAvGMXn3U8Qt
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA10uzooUAGi
"Have you checked what's online?" Lee asked, almost out of breath.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAZmuvTRwoRi
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAW4wzRjLa5x
"Um, no," Zoey replied. "What is it?"1126Please respect copyright.PENANASpzWnsD2As
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAuUIoECmLOM
"Sam, you're everywhere, like everywhere," said Lee as she looked at me. She clearly isn't making any sense.1126Please respect copyright.PENANA8GH9fRuE2s
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA8CgrP500kJ
"I'm everywhere? What do you mean?" I asked.1126Please respect copyright.PENANALjx2biE2Ed

Lee had her phone, and she held it up for all of us to see. Christine, Zoey, and I got close enough to look at the screen. And just like she said, there were many pictures of me and G-Dragon. Lee continued to scroll downward. There were more: some with me and the little girl, and others with Taeyang. There were also pictures of all The Toxins and BIGBANG members, but the photos of me were a little too much.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAbJqAAbvpBV

"Wow, I'm not looking forward to seeing the entertainment news tomorrow," I said as I continued to look at the pictures.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAdKQkP6jzIi
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAZrYLzH6VQO
"OMG!" said Zoey, her eyes still fixed on the screen. "There are pictures of you everywhere, Sam."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAy2bY1VCZXn
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAP8EgqG0eVW
"Nah, we're all there," I said. "I'm just a little unfortunate."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAWNWLMuyvw0
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA053LGrgcdu
"Did you just say unfortunate?" Zoey asked as she looked at me with her eyebrows raised. "So many pictures of you, and you're saying you're unfortunate?"1126Please respect copyright.PENANAmS4tNPEDcz

"Okay, I better shut up because I'm clearly not helping," I said as I walked back to the window.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAUV3UQEaFGS

Suddenly, Mike and Daniel came into the room through the open door.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAlheNEu0ITV
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAU6MmkttJ8a
"Guys, you're supposed to knock first," said Christine. "This is a girls' room, you know."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAMt9FU2S17m
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAz3h65wpzxf
"You won't believe what's on Facebook," said Mike, completely ignoring Christine.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAZOhCQa0LY8
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAP58dNmx31Y
"If you're talking about Sam, we already know," said Zoey.1126Please respect copyright.PENANA7EJBCrao5J

"This is annoying," I said. "I didn't want this."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAs3nzj8hmD4
1126Please respect copyright.PENANARlJv0qJRw5
"No one said you did," said Lee. "It just so happens that you caught people's attention."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAzk1kAi3wxw
1126Please respect copyright.PENANA5sa8n4QJjM
"It looks like you've gained so much attention yet again," said Daniel. "Wait until Collins sees this."1126Please respect copyright.PENANA72OWodmEg5
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAXlFYwDW0bA
"I'm so tired right now," said Christine as she yawned. "But I need to have something to eat first."1126Please respect copyright.PENANA86DogSSH9K
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAtjnGATyXMI
"Food will be brought up soon," said Lee. "Collins thinks it's too risky to go downstairs since there are still fans and the media around."1126Please respect copyright.PENANA094cYsmTCq
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAddPhkKQeJJ
"Staying here is fine with me," I said. "As long as I don't get my picture taken putting something in my mouth."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAOJIMeGuyZ3
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAHzZMFfEE0X
"Haha, now you're just exaggerating," said Zoey. "Just accept that somehow you caught the world's attention. Besides, this isn't the first time the Black Kitty has stolen the show."1126Please respect copyright.PENANAs58FKTA6DF
1126Please respect copyright.PENANAFEqQJQ82mg
I look at Zoey, and I have to admit, she's right. There were plenty of times when I "stole the show," as everybody puts it. But this time, it wasn't the whole U.S., but South Korea and other parts of the world combined. I'm not ready to check my phone because of all the notifications I would receive. I might as well just flush it down the toilet.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAeQkgZanwMh

Looking out the window upon the beautiful city, still holding the flower the little girl gave me in my hand, I couldn't help but think of what Taeyang told me down in the lobby if I knew how valuable I am. I felt like a priceless diamond for the entire world to see. Some people would have liked the feeling, but I didn't.1126Please respect copyright.PENANAmCEWOljDAb

When supper arrived, we all ate, and everyone retired to sleep soon afterwards. As I lay down on my bed and Zoey is fast asleep on the other, I can't help but think of what will happen tomorrow. We were going to take a tour of Seoul. I am already so filled with excitement that I forgot all about the drama with BIGBANG, the media, and everything else. In what felt like seconds, I quickly dozed off to sleep.
