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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAaavASdok1m
1005Please respect copyright.PENANApZDKymJ8ID
"Wow, this place looks awesome," said Daniel, who sat beside me and was also looking out of the window.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAeJyGjmuacx
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ7NU0N6kT
"I know, right? It's like a dream come true that we're here," said Christine, who sat behind me.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAFzUxssXyHe
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAVAc4M0Iv4r
"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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAFo5WZYgNlU
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAzf4P2Y29E1
"It is," said Collins. "Beautiful, isn't it?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1aw3gPITL
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA7lskmyzdVn
"It sure is," I said with a smile as we quickly lost sight of it.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAzIMain2QBT
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHdCP4XFZE6
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAf4stjftr82
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAs9ne4D80iF
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANATXWRnJxC9r
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAaTEPOTcuuG
"Hey, aren't you coming?" Daniel asked, bringing me back from my thoughts.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAEUiYnCMNoG
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAieThsHM77A
"Yeah, I am," I said, trying to pull myself together.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPFUAcVY7by
1005Please respect copyright.PENANArXabXh684s
"I know you've never liked this, but The Toxins aren't The Toxins without you," he said, giving me an encouraging smile.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAh4PB3dl1da
1005Please respect copyright.PENANASVEW2FKvKS
"It's going to take years for me to get over this."1005Please respect copyright.PENANARTpRAq9avo
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAnb6P0V4Inm
"Yeah, I know. Come on, we have to go."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHUpaUnGxoG
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAXqVi4nSvTJ
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAMbDKWTfZ1w
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAuak82DHmmF
"Come on, we're all waiting for you," he said with a smile. "Take my hand."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAuN8C3pLZEf
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPGQFob6FPV
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA9xyWPqIvDY
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQeEAnEtoRo
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAneemfYP6vz
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA01Mr9cpMyp
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAfXCjP5nlIH
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAWWe0Cw5Crk
"Woah, relax, B.K." said G-Dragon as he smiled for the camera. "You don't seem too comfortable."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3rDis07Qt
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAYLzIyroobm
I blush. It looks like he read my body language. Well, this is embarrassing.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAnpuhrF1wNC
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHKskGvJOud
"I don't like getting all the attention," I told him as I spoke in his ear.1005Please respect copyright.PENANASfiRf0WFsj
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAaqboBFDFTT
"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."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4eTjWvtZKX
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA9eQ0ArQQFF
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAXGH9VWK283
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4AO4n5fmmi
He gave me that irresistible smile, and I felt like melting. He left me utterly speechless.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4YMCG0Zd7C
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4smypuvAkn
"Come, let's join the others," he said, and we continued to walk hand in hand down the aisle.1005Please respect copyright.PENANABdGkepGMs2
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA940C57AQN4
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAlRb3PyNKqb
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQlnHebY9qO
"I think you can let go of my hand now," I said as I turned to face G-Dragon.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAG2mcYhQRWm
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA9EOPwABpxN
"I let go of your hand, or you let go of mine?" he asked.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAD85ym3u1vc
1005Please respect copyright.PENANApJTJB0dRQ1
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAaCBY21wcwM
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAKL8TIBvb7o
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?1005Please respect copyright.PENANAIz8FHgcb7w
1005Please respect copyright.PENANApKtPM2ytrJ
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAEVVVJPdQxL
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAdPB9bCf0nI
"I see that Ji Yong is troubling you," said Taeyang as he came over, breaking away from the others.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAfx2BLCeawQ
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA0M8Oj2kgDG
"Well, not really," I said. "And here I thought Seungri was the devious one."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAt24v1ZxrhE
1005Please respect copyright.PENANATE7nQ6mYMD
"Don't mind him. He does that all the time."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOW7kkcEwJt
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6MK33BkBpE
"Does he do that just to make any girl fall for him?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAC8ZnK7G5VP
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4ltVgKl6NV
"Not really. The thing is, no one ever knows what his real intentions are."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAch77STYZyL
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAWKe4VGw8yX
"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind." I smiled.1005Please respect copyright.PENANALuADVtoeI7
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA026xNdQDF6
"I noticed that the two of you were holding hands earlier. That's going to be all over the news."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhzU7xTcuh3
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAot9iiidZOT
"Yeah, I'm definitely screwed." I playfully hit my head with my hand, laughing nervously. "People would start to think otherwise, huh?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAYy61UVcDZz
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHVJOAOK3K1
"I don't think people would come to any conclusion. You just met."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAJR5U0kPn6s
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA35jjW2rOTP
"Yeah, I guess so. I worry for no reason."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAmdVOaplyX9
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAKYY3birEa6

"I've been there before; it did not go well."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAuuitavHdVE
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1QPPulSJ7
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA1YF3vVwjCd
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHOUmmm6bLn
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwjXsagTnRA
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAgaMBAHRspT
"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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAh1X8yR4TGI
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAAwrkz8wNz9
"She's so cute. What do you think?" I asked Taeyang.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pix25Rhfz
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA0mOskTZUzQ
"She is," he replied. "It seems she likes you."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAg2ojbxh2Xx
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAfYBRHiVUrS
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZTpccwFr4K
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZx6fd5Dhsz
"Is this for me?" I asked softly.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA0kesENofZS
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA8YRqcd99vd
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAg3hNbFuLSB
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAuJpU17ZOGj
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAARHY8zzynA
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAupt8e62WNf
"Sorry for the trouble," the woman said to me when I got closer. "She can really be jumpy sometimes."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAIAhKlHlw7d
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAjZyqFMjXDt
"No, not at all," I said. "You've got a very beautiful daughter."1005Please respect copyright.PENANArF5faM5n1l
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA80HlmY2JS4
"Thank you," the woman said with a smile.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAGdM2CKf3Ik
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAx5YxiP4JtR
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAEXpMAIGeIw
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPPgEEjsxrD
"What?" I shrug my shoulders.1005Please respect copyright.PENANABpzM3sZVq4
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwl5gjs9cHu
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAEPy393atu2
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAAouKKuJL1L
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask him.1005Please respect copyright.PENANArm1tCm0RG7
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAK4UdYdCv8Y
"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."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAsdP6lMjJfB
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA8poOkrJTp3
"Or she was just an adorable, cute fan of mine that managed to pass through the guards just to give me a flower."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOSwE2TIFpF
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAqx4CEAA4ZX
Taeyang laughed, and I blushed even more. I looked the other way so that he wouldn't notice.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAbsS4d4F2UL
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAtRK1WLD2Es
"You don't know how valuable you are, do you?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANADHOQWy5DvU
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAFf45lC5yP3
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAUO8bHscyVc
1005Please respect copyright.PENANABfmOLdLj8A
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAC5gCaVFYyp
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAM6vfVediWF
"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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6htXkkzDew
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAACBplcAet2
"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?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAI06Rh6dJg7
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQ61ZB3D7jv
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA66tamkqBME
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAeqs4eZHLIu
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey, who had a huge smile on her face as she headed for the elevator. Christine and Daniel followed.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAoY4pmp6LU9
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQLENgoClVX
"I better get going," I told Taeyang.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA8mDNaKqjxr
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAezs9yDhD6b
"See you tomorrow, then," he said. "Maybe then we can get on the dance floor and see who has the best moves."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAGaSP6dsgUQ
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAn4J0vRgC3y
"You're on," said Mike as he walked past us, joining the others in the elevator.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA93kklMyn3P
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwHvDLZ3Hqi
"I'll see you tomorrow," I said.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPCJ8yKoSEL
1005Please respect copyright.PENANARquDGQCXXo
"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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA8KbUBlktqx
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAxkerUuqwi4
"See you tomorrow, T.O.P." I turned around to face him as he gave me that bad-boy smile of his.1005Please respect copyright.PENANACGquWWb5FA
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAg7wYuOBCOK
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAtegKoPsCbE
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAsrVtctftxD
"Goodnight and sweet dreams, my little black kitty," he said softly. My eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he said that.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAMYY3WjOyXX
1005Please respect copyright.PENANACpN79edxMJ
"What did you-?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhulD3ZXZ0r
1005Please respect copyright.PENANArzR9CKG3Yn
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANApdSbuHGHdY
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA79DJNwc6yL
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhEV8ZBX6Kh

"What just happened out there?" Zoey asked.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZaUNDAbH3b
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAFVSGA9S5Rs
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQHtgkRrqxN
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA5jJ72gZ7Vo
"Hello, B.K. I'm talking to you." I felt Zoey come to sit beside me and shake me.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAlwrGbXDMlb
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAUhGl4aexOK
"May I please rest?" I whined with my eyes still closed. "You know I'm tired."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHvChhQdcxI
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAmpVKMeCT4O
"You aren't resting until you tell me what happened down there in the lobby."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA2r3UFDrr7L
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOWqs9vN0zF
"So many things happened today," I said as I opened my eyes. "I suggest you be more specific."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4Mk3XImjAb
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAoEVkOwKfsa
"Let's start with the time you were walking down the aisle with G-Dragon."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHA5JdqHj1t
1005Please respect copyright.PENANACXQ1k4y1Ap
"What?" I sat up. "Don't tell me you are jealous."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAShoRnNQX9E
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA4kzmQDgJ4M
"You heard me. Start talking." Zoey looked at me in a way that my mother would whenever I did something wrong.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAD7arL9pqvM
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZN5dBQvoqd
"You're jealous," mocked Christine, who sat on the other bed opposite Zoey and me.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAqJcdPg2P6W
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHyBIdqDfgy
"Christine, ssh! Come on, Sam, start talking." Zoey looked serious. That didn't shock me at all.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAbdFUv7R4Tf
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAY2sVP8KI5Z
I shrugged my shoulders. "It was nothing, really. He just helped me out of the car, and we walked down the aisle together."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAKj08eIbiOj
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAKcfP00rvc8
"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."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAfSu8r6KdsD
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZulUnUKilq
"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."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAXbWImA5J2A
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAc9PCC1zOic
"I know," said Christine. "We just met these guys today, and you're already making a mountain out of a molehill."1005Please respect copyright.PENANADfBC565wYP
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAlcMw8Wv4mx
"And you think Taeyang wasn't drooling over Sam in the lobby?" Zoey asked. "I thought you liked Tae."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAbffqkfEgnt
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAPTXLV9EUoI
"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."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAllFWlsOBeM
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAE4X3KFYpDN
"I agree," I said. "You are one hell of a drama queen, Zoey. You can have G-Dragon because I'm not interested."1005Please respect copyright.PENANArwUpEJ0Rbl
1005Please respect copyright.PENANARQYlxVUE1i
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I might have been a little jealous."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA5h8qqttcvt
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAEMR2mXPRHO
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAAUYsxlxNS6
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQF9aQL5ESN
"Please stop doing that; you're no longer three." I laughed.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAz1uaW490WR
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAuAJJtFjpc3
"Whatever. I'm just excited that I'm finally in Korea," she said with a grin.1005Please respect copyright.PENANASx1XStgSx8
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAqocRa5mRuX
"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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANANqVwrkQ03N
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAOl0Bf6Ds9g
"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."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAVEgHFSHJir
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAmoFzyUl48F
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANADk6IGYjvsg
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAjAaVdAuArL
"Hey, are you okay?" Christine asked.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAKobrI8Hhed
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAqk4t5GtGbl
"Have you checked what's online?" Lee asked, almost out of breath.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHuQj5WAPGI
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAI1ZzK2pmR7
"Um, no," Zoey replied. "What is it?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAY4OEYcwt23
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAEeI0J6YoPe
"Sam, you're everywhere, like everywhere," said Lee as she looked at me. She clearly isn't making any sense.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAUVwOx4YMkg

"Pictures of you with G-Dragon, the time you were with that little girl and Taeyang, everything. People are just talking about you!"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAoNobwg17bF

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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQXbPm6Op93

"Wow, I'm not looking forward to seeing the entertainment news tomorrow," I said as I continued to look at the pictures.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAStebwM2ppH
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA6JgIg2fCa3
"OMG!" said Zoey, her eyes still fixed on the screen. "There are pictures of you everywhere, Sam."1005Please respect copyright.PENANApQimreeek3
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAtxDdRzvi91
"Nah, we're all there," I said. "I'm just a little unfortunate."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAEIQ1WjuyS7
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAVZWQG9w9WU
"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?"1005Please respect copyright.PENANAGGJS1MCXwM

"Okay, I better shut up because I'm clearly not helping," I said as I walked back to the window.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA80Orxruquw

Suddenly, Mike and Daniel came into the room through the open door.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAxESB3Rp2uO
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAq9P6gv5YV8
"Guys, you're supposed to knock first," said Christine. "This is a girls' room, you know."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAHTdVweThfX
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAh5rAxKtkck
"You won't believe what's on Facebook," said Mike, completely ignoring Christine.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAP6OAwKuPDL
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAa2U138pmWy
"If you're talking about Sam, we already know," said Zoey.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAziXkhnrZEz
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAkjXrdZrskJ
"This is annoying," I said. "I didn't want this."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAhCPZa92Qda

"No one said you did," said Lee. "It just so happens that you caught people's attention."1005Please respect copyright.PENANA8zX41Mqyt9
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAvrE2C6Vu6n
"It looks like you've gained so much attention yet again," said Daniel. "Wait until Collins sees this."1005Please respect copyright.PENANALy0LkdVLAp
1005Please respect copyright.PENANA7bqD93lLy9
"I'm so tired right now," said Christine as she yawned. "But I need to have something to eat first."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAdbEmjxgBNj
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAQcRKmPnOYW
"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."1005Please respect copyright.PENANASJjXhljIww

"Staying here is fine with me," I said. "As long as I don't get my picture taken putting something in my mouth."1005Please respect copyright.PENANADiURDpY6q2
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAfQTWdLyAht
"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."1005Please respect copyright.PENANAZBgJJJCCis
1005Please respect copyright.PENANAwtmSah4DOF
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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANA70nuqkhBE3

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.1005Please respect copyright.PENANAfM2lR5JpzJ

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.
