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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAmyyOFj1y0Z
746Please respect copyright.PENANAx0tyEY4dzo
"Wow, this place looks awesome," said Daniel, who sat beside me and was also looking out of the window.746Please respect copyright.PENANAXs9eHrRE2n
746Please respect copyright.PENANAFpig6QqrIc
"I know, right? It's like a dream come true that we're here," said Christine, who sat behind me.746Please respect copyright.PENANASXZc500J8D
746Please respect copyright.PENANA48Bo6IJh40
"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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAeIEVEZA5B6
746Please respect copyright.PENANAitL62qE9Up
"It is," said Collins. "Beautiful, isn't it?"746Please respect copyright.PENANAL0CmTF6RVR
746Please respect copyright.PENANAbsKmEmdQqS
"It sure is," I said with a smile as we quickly lost sight of it.746Please respect copyright.PENANAedV2Iax2B0
746Please respect copyright.PENANADOTMRxz3Wl
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAdFMteQvITk
746Please respect copyright.PENANABNTP68Yivx
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANABa9Qd9GhwU
746Please respect copyright.PENANApV61VxeevH
"Hey, aren't you coming?" Daniel asked, bringing me back from my thoughts.746Please respect copyright.PENANA6lw7UrRskd
746Please respect copyright.PENANA2UCcicjF2q
"Yeah, I am," I said, trying to pull myself together.746Please respect copyright.PENANAkzcpdPDU2i
746Please respect copyright.PENANA9VJZ0SUIzU
"I know you've never liked this, but The Toxins aren't The Toxins without you," he said, giving me an encouraging smile.746Please respect copyright.PENANATMpuoAnyYS
746Please respect copyright.PENANAYSn1040e2g
"It's going to take years for me to get over this."746Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ898kecYM
746Please respect copyright.PENANAUVsjzLY94H
"Yeah, I know. Come on, we have to go."746Please respect copyright.PENANA4RF4KawVaf
746Please respect copyright.PENANAAIPnbMM9VH
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANANSwlIcRots
746Please respect copyright.PENANAxGTZKoOnjs
"Come on, we're all waiting for you," he said with a smile. "Take my hand."746Please respect copyright.PENANAQaZ3zgpnNb
746Please respect copyright.PENANAGN7qkDtSOp
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAfSZrtsLbcz
746Please respect copyright.PENANAPnY1chzGwb
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAoH7Nuzhly3
746Please respect copyright.PENANAo25yxyW3mV
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAR7gXOA2idC
746Please respect copyright.PENANAxgBeImRmld
"Woah, relax, B.K." said G-Dragon as he smiled for the camera. "You don't seem too comfortable."746Please respect copyright.PENANAZJeheBKnLS
746Please respect copyright.PENANA7bNQuyCgmR
I blush. It looks like he read my body language. Well, this is embarrassing.746Please respect copyright.PENANAF78N8g7Xit
746Please respect copyright.PENANAuW7YBrdYCG
"I don't like getting all the attention," I told him as I spoke in his ear.746Please respect copyright.PENANAslU6H5Ek33
746Please respect copyright.PENANArAoG2GboJo
"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."746Please respect copyright.PENANA8pHK4UdyHZ
746Please respect copyright.PENANAk7EUB2p13u
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAjOgwB0esd8
746Please respect copyright.PENANADMLuzjvoG5
He gave me that irresistible smile, and I felt like melting. He left me utterly speechless.746Please respect copyright.PENANAYDEyGrFSo7
746Please respect copyright.PENANAN8nz8a9l85
"Come, let's join the others," he said, and we continued to walk hand in hand down the aisle.746Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1b8f9Axf2
746Please respect copyright.PENANA7dak5IokX0
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAaw2M8giBXt
746Please respect copyright.PENANA1hgyWbONwS
"I think you can let go of my hand now," I said as I turned to face G-Dragon.746Please respect copyright.PENANAzN8r6Zmu5R
746Please respect copyright.PENANAPLetplQZJ0
"I let go of your hand, or you let go of mine?" he asked.746Please respect copyright.PENANAUWnSW6KlUO
746Please respect copyright.PENANA6gWIpk7XGb
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAjhEqSjJ0AF
746Please respect copyright.PENANAdiYf7InE33
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?746Please respect copyright.PENANAALMtOdxptL
746Please respect copyright.PENANAGcPXribTxR
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANASjHGHMKtXg
746Please respect copyright.PENANAbjTRVsz7up
"I see that Ji Yong is troubling you," said Taeyang as he came over, breaking away from the others.746Please respect copyright.PENANAGBAUfwFRG2
746Please respect copyright.PENANAYRWqFvZ8oa
"Well, not really," I said. "And here I thought Seungri was the devious one."746Please respect copyright.PENANAF3l6Pz9vgd
746Please respect copyright.PENANA13dX0YvVVo
"Don't mind him. He does that all the time."746Please respect copyright.PENANAcOBeLjPOMZ
746Please respect copyright.PENANA5mK4spSEgx
"Does he do that just to make any girl fall for him?"746Please respect copyright.PENANAADuCk4FHXh
746Please respect copyright.PENANA5FTfS4PCnd
"Not really. The thing is, no one ever knows what his real intentions are."746Please respect copyright.PENANAiZi4dNqI9Y
746Please respect copyright.PENANAkSjFXKXqrY
"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind." I smiled.746Please respect copyright.PENANAgAE2s33VyG
746Please respect copyright.PENANAmvWL3t4XSU
"I noticed that the two of you were holding hands earlier. That's going to be all over the news."746Please respect copyright.PENANALhJQZ0EjkH
746Please respect copyright.PENANAg7g1CyDh59
"Yeah, I'm definitely screwed." I playfully hit my head with my hand, laughing nervously. "People would start to think otherwise, huh?"746Please respect copyright.PENANAPrhDDL1scw
746Please respect copyright.PENANADNdPo8X9Pt
"I don't think people would come to any conclusion. You just met."746Please respect copyright.PENANAwnuOdQ7g8s
746Please respect copyright.PENANA2hMQJU8noM
"Yeah, I guess so. I worry for no reason."746Please respect copyright.PENANAj0g4uBpM5t
746Please respect copyright.PENANA4MaTKw2E1h
"Don't feel relaxed, though. The media knows how to twist things around."746Please respect copyright.PENANAGLXbc3rK5n
746Please respect copyright.PENANAVgqXPTssgS
"I've been there before; it did not go well."746Please respect copyright.PENANAF66NNNmI6v
746Please respect copyright.PENANApiG9W59lpX
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAEnAwMhrJKi
746Please respect copyright.PENANAsKa8cYl0Fb
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAunG5e6pGBO
746Please respect copyright.PENANAsiBWPG46lQ
"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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAMzvPXXVNVF
746Please respect copyright.PENANANOKKZjmNxe
"She's so cute. What do you think?" I asked Taeyang.746Please respect copyright.PENANASA5CZ2B6D8
746Please respect copyright.PENANASxkIJSSF8S
"She is," he replied. "It seems she likes you."746Please respect copyright.PENANAIGIOEk8TYh
746Please respect copyright.PENANAQuORiecBZ7
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAOW1jQkkxzm
746Please respect copyright.PENANA9DQ4hgxnvW
"Is this for me?" I asked softly.746Please respect copyright.PENANAiEKPtTXRcP
746Please respect copyright.PENANAItmOpkVJF9
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAbqQKIFKxpc
746Please respect copyright.PENANAjK9yNEdRp7
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAzffSVZQgi4
746Please respect copyright.PENANACLXfE7HZfl
"Sorry for the trouble," the woman said to me when I got closer. "She can really be jumpy sometimes."746Please respect copyright.PENANArnUml8OJ9G
746Please respect copyright.PENANAlM36rboSJn
"No, not at all," I said. "You've got a very beautiful daughter."746Please respect copyright.PENANAZcPzBSOBml
746Please respect copyright.PENANAKvFQJ6Emrn
"Thank you," the woman said with a smile.746Please respect copyright.PENANAXvSGDObG2i
746Please respect copyright.PENANAxD86nKrOQy
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAh9ZBfP5gkL
746Please respect copyright.PENANAxnn0TDKvrx
"What?" I shrug my shoulders.746Please respect copyright.PENANAFzwzQzDyxb
746Please respect copyright.PENANAuPI9SYhfKb
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAgMmlw5el7P
746Please respect copyright.PENANABMZ56XYb2d
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask him.746Please respect copyright.PENANAbjLdOVvDnw
746Please respect copyright.PENANAJD52kgoxBN
"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."746Please respect copyright.PENANATqy7AFU0FC
746Please respect copyright.PENANAnBYH9SsDrt
"Or she was just an adorable, cute fan of mine that managed to pass through the guards just to give me a flower."746Please respect copyright.PENANA2GOpuxZM4w
746Please respect copyright.PENANAFZqO9H2UOx
Taeyang laughed, and I blushed even more. I looked the other way so that he wouldn't notice.746Please respect copyright.PENANAB1gwQ0rhHb
746Please respect copyright.PENANAcbRtHblAyi
"You don't know how valuable you are, do you?"746Please respect copyright.PENANAorbeL2w3Zp
746Please respect copyright.PENANAvhqjPj4QKo
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANA9F3elzuKyl
746Please respect copyright.PENANAOSqzi5hTOR
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAEoxshWtKqe
746Please respect copyright.PENANAZIIM67EFyc
"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.746Please respect copyright.PENANA7OGpW2OXS4
746Please respect copyright.PENANAwbhTHcS2eT
"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?"746Please respect copyright.PENANAbeUn2IFzYG
746Please respect copyright.PENANAe9hwpvcwy7
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAVFy65xM4C3
746Please respect copyright.PENANA99g5EwKByB
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey, who had a huge smile on her face as she headed for the elevator. Christine and Daniel followed.746Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7G6iNcjbA
746Please respect copyright.PENANAjrcpl3G4XV
"I better get going," I told Taeyang.746Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ujw6kYJsV
746Please respect copyright.PENANANK7nTPVwoq
"See you tomorrow, then," he said. "Maybe then we can get on the dance floor and see who has the best moves."746Please respect copyright.PENANAfeK8vzlmIE
746Please respect copyright.PENANAQM9QqatCas
"You're on," said Mike as he walked past us, joining the others in the elevator.746Please respect copyright.PENANAEbki86P6uf
746Please respect copyright.PENANAWtPgo9so6r
"I'll see you tomorrow," I said.746Please respect copyright.PENANAilfWjTSijc
746Please respect copyright.PENANA4rv8Jnq6dl
"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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAUNMKkOQrzQ
746Please respect copyright.PENANAwjRi8w4ZHV
"See you tomorrow, T.O.P." I turned around to face him as he gave me that bad-boy smile of his.746Please respect copyright.PENANAykvVcZGCjM
746Please respect copyright.PENANALfU3Z0uPwF
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAUbv3XLbL6h
746Please respect copyright.PENANA3cR3INwc0F
"Goodnight and sweet dreams, my little black kitty," he said softly. My eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he said that.746Please respect copyright.PENANAWsRt0OuvIS
746Please respect copyright.PENANAnHPyQWbmou
"What did you-?"746Please respect copyright.PENANAF5FmpBXrXu
746Please respect copyright.PENANA11mFaCEPlW
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAmLMElKawrh
746Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZVEUqRyg3
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANA7SDun9lSN4
746Please respect copyright.PENANAX74pPnniSG
***746Please respect copyright.PENANA3JhMZV4mgP
746Please respect copyright.PENANAFyPuMidgjp
"What just happened out there?" Zoey asked.746Please respect copyright.PENANAER7XVTBgez
746Please respect copyright.PENANAblIMFtHBNa
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAybmi0t4vXQ
746Please respect copyright.PENANAaqCiwaOoqZ
"Hello, B.K. I'm talking to you." I felt Zoey come to sit beside me and shake me.746Please respect copyright.PENANAqmB5Ihzm5L
746Please respect copyright.PENANArFBwmIUfnw
"May I please rest?" I whined with my eyes still closed. "You know I'm tired."746Please respect copyright.PENANASi3ZHm5cdg
746Please respect copyright.PENANAm7Isl3LAaJ
"You aren't resting until you tell me what happened down there in the lobby."746Please respect copyright.PENANAq32oSdTega
746Please respect copyright.PENANA0YZeVJxVkk
"So many things happened today," I said as I opened my eyes. "I suggest you be more specific."746Please respect copyright.PENANAqSI104AX1O
746Please respect copyright.PENANAYekvzfcw1i
"Let's start with the time you were walking down the aisle with G-Dragon."746Please respect copyright.PENANAtmnyClOQOT
746Please respect copyright.PENANAgx4WMvHHcB
"What?" I sat up. "Don't tell me you are jealous."746Please respect copyright.PENANAmJWhnwqyAL
746Please respect copyright.PENANAVV5mqcrfSL
"You heard me. Start talking." Zoey looked at me in a way that my mother would whenever I did something wrong.746Please respect copyright.PENANAWant4f3JVp
746Please respect copyright.PENANAlGcOTEwDRn
"You're jealous," mocked Christine, who sat on the other bed opposite Zoey and me.746Please respect copyright.PENANA61U7BDZ6hJ
746Please respect copyright.PENANA0EilMUq3aw
"Christine, ssh! Come on, Sam, start talking." Zoey looked serious. That didn't shock me at all.746Please respect copyright.PENANACr7cy5MVgz
746Please respect copyright.PENANAGTvxESrmbC
I shrugged my shoulders. "It was nothing, really. He just helped me out of the car, and we walked down the aisle together."746Please respect copyright.PENANAguH9wxd2Ra
746Please respect copyright.PENANAnpsgIWm1Lo
"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."746Please respect copyright.PENANA6NTmHjd6bn
746Please respect copyright.PENANAR3E25mQFTP
"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."746Please respect copyright.PENANAmu5YL92lvM
746Please respect copyright.PENANAInbwfRgfXD
"I know," said Christine. "We just met these guys today, and you're already making a mountain out of a molehill."746Please respect copyright.PENANAGgZm7aXwH4
746Please respect copyright.PENANA1atbZatscs
"And you think Taeyang wasn't drooling over Sam in the lobby?" Zoey asked. "I thought you liked Tae."746Please respect copyright.PENANAzzCmThH2Uz
746Please respect copyright.PENANAIdJLBW4WVa
"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."746Please respect copyright.PENANA4rsYL1qKcc
746Please respect copyright.PENANAWFEtoZ3jkD
"I agree," I said. "You are one hell of a drama queen, Zoey. You can have G-Dragon because I'm not interested."746Please respect copyright.PENANAqR8L6uCFm0
746Please respect copyright.PENANA9IT2lNJh0L
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I might have been a little jealous."746Please respect copyright.PENANAIipBFIuy9L
746Please respect copyright.PENANAEKru3p5LAr
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAmSHUHfeEYx
746Please respect copyright.PENANAZMRvpMtYd0
"Please stop doing that; you're no longer three." I laughed.746Please respect copyright.PENANAjGptvFM7YL
746Please respect copyright.PENANASRlFbHQJol
"Whatever. I'm just excited that I'm finally in Korea," she said with a grin.746Please respect copyright.PENANA2XfrbPFyDt
746Please respect copyright.PENANAOwDtQKpbhZ
"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.746Please respect copyright.PENANA0SCXrV5FHW
746Please respect copyright.PENANA4WXj0l2zpL
"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."746Please respect copyright.PENANAoO6o9gZ3zG
746Please respect copyright.PENANAWI4iCXyHXt
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAmO7tvvGdEw
746Please respect copyright.PENANA0uITT8WZ1S
"Hey, are you okay?" Christine asked.746Please respect copyright.PENANAAvpKLWsXaH
746Please respect copyright.PENANAjmsmvGvl5r
"Have you checked what's online?" Lee asked, almost out of breath.746Please respect copyright.PENANAnLVnrmiTl7
746Please respect copyright.PENANAoUOzgkVny3
"Um, no," Zoey replied. "What is it?"746Please respect copyright.PENANA9VZMVItFW5
746Please respect copyright.PENANAdpKGwLf53T
"Sam, you're everywhere, like everywhere," said Lee as she looked at me. She clearly isn't making any sense.746Please respect copyright.PENANA5HNOpXP6r1
746Please respect copyright.PENANAN1ZhuOnjzi
"I'm everywhere? What do you mean?" I asked.746Please respect copyright.PENANA1RwNBp17bR
746Please respect copyright.PENANAgjTUgUu2Qy
"Pictures of you with G-Dragon, the time you were with that little girl and Taeyang, everything. People are just talking about you!"746Please respect copyright.PENANAqhvif8IRAM
746Please respect copyright.PENANAcSPR7sDVyh
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAcSqdfG7hCG

"Wow, I'm not looking forward to seeing the entertainment news tomorrow," I said as I continued to look at the pictures.746Please respect copyright.PENANApZlzsK1owq
746Please respect copyright.PENANAE2l6NiBulx
"OMG!" said Zoey, her eyes still fixed on the screen. "There are pictures of you everywhere, Sam."746Please respect copyright.PENANAIUaP8wZb3l
746Please respect copyright.PENANAOMKOjBMupe
"Nah, we're all there," I said. "I'm just a little unfortunate."746Please respect copyright.PENANA2znYwUYucF
746Please respect copyright.PENANAwGFlx8zEFq
"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?"746Please respect copyright.PENANAMaQqXDmwBf

"Okay, I better shut up because I'm clearly not helping," I said as I walked back to the window.746Please respect copyright.PENANAifm3Wzr5rn

Suddenly, Mike and Daniel came into the room through the open door.746Please respect copyright.PENANADbQ0IPQcrx
746Please respect copyright.PENANAg5Wk7SO25n
"Guys, you're supposed to knock first," said Christine. "This is a girls' room, you know."746Please respect copyright.PENANAhAwfFErCob
746Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ0WhNR0Mi
"You won't believe what's on Facebook," said Mike, completely ignoring Christine.746Please respect copyright.PENANA2cPeLMeyLc
746Please respect copyright.PENANAm7QZHUUy21
"If you're talking about Sam, we already know," said Zoey.746Please respect copyright.PENANAOnU6Dv2oIg

"This is annoying," I said. "I didn't want this."746Please respect copyright.PENANAwFP15YCAc1

"No one said you did," said Lee. "It just so happens that you caught people's attention."746Please respect copyright.PENANAwPUh3fnzcN
746Please respect copyright.PENANAQacNSfXN7T
"It looks like you've gained so much attention yet again," said Daniel. "Wait until Collins sees this."746Please respect copyright.PENANANzLzVkCy01
746Please respect copyright.PENANAh058a2GzxT
"I'm so tired right now," said Christine as she yawned. "But I need to have something to eat first."746Please respect copyright.PENANAm3WfTdHeem
746Please respect copyright.PENANAkrRNfCtQ6y
"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."746Please respect copyright.PENANAcycJYYVQbN

"Staying here is fine with me," I said. "As long as I don't get my picture taken putting something in my mouth."746Please respect copyright.PENANAlXWjTXqhVh
746Please respect copyright.PENANACvP8LLDNgb
"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."746Please respect copyright.PENANAgcVijuLYIr
746Please respect copyright.PENANAREll6iv0w1
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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAvDMIyRiZvj

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.746Please respect copyright.PENANAeUyrAXUoL9

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.
