"Come on, Zoey, they're waiting for us in the lobby, and you're taking time like you're dressing up for the royal ball," I said as I leaned my back against the wall next to the door of our room.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JfTwnmv8k
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOtZTdvaqX
"You know I need to look good for G-Dragon, Sam," said Zoey from inside.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqyd2pOMMu
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi3C1laojv
I rolled my eyes at what she said. The others had already left to go downstairs soon after breakfast, and at that time, Zoey wasn't even ready yet. We're running late for our tour, and I didn't want to miss a thing.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfbEcPgz2f
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60haOD0hsf
"Are you done yet?" I asked. "You don't have to look like a princess, you know. It's just a tour."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98PJKIswjX
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzkw35Ty84
"Hey, I don't want people to think I'm a tourist. I want to look fabulous."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbxYi2QPBF
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoReFPUK56
"You can look fabulous later when G-Dragon asks you out on a date. Can you please hurry up? We've got five minutes till nine." I looked at my wristwatch and started tapping my foot on the floor impatiently.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj4M3B9ecJ
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQczwGwzqVL
"Zoey, if you don't come out in ten seconds, I'll drag you out of there, even if it means you looking like a clown," I warned.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YJWyi9Him
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKSeEXX1Er
No sooner had I said those words did the door fly open, and Zoey stepped out of the room. She wore black skinny jeans, a pink top, and a black jacket. She wore black wedges, which to me seemed pretty high, and she carried along a black purse studded with colored stones. As usual, she wore makeup.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymhE5nv6RS
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv9GP7qcQD
"Aren't those wedges a little too high?" I asked as I looked at her. "Your feet will get tired. The jacket and fancy purse make you look like you're attending some important meeting."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfVSqxJn1J
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1588bsQgx6
"Hey, I'm perfectly fine like this," said Zoey as she twirled herself around. "And besides, you know I can last for hours wearing heels, so the wedges aren't a problem. What if I trip and G-Dragon catches me? That will be so romantic."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOw4pLugqk
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xn0GjqQfA
"If you land on your face, I'll make sure to take pictures and post them all over social media, and everyone will laugh all day long."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupozBdPBFl
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcoA5WkZ1C
"Haha, very funny," said Zoey sarcastically as she furrowed her eyebrows at me. "Let's go. The others must be waiting."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJtZIbqNQQ
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt96tACRnOD
"I was waiting for you to say that," I said as I led the way to the elevator after Zoey closed the door to our room.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbrKC2pOSq
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCcBO8VHtt
A few seconds later, we found ourselves in the lobby. Just like any ordinary Sunday, it was quiet and pretty much normal. Thank goodness the paparazzi and reporters weren't around. I wonder where they are. Most of the people we found in the lobby were the working staff. It looked like people didn't really move around so much on Sundays like they do back home. That felt like a good thing.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUunORdEhH
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBskjhed82w
As Zoey and I walked over to the front doors of the hotel, we found Collins and the others waiting outside.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7dZdM5JED
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr0wUgPBi0
"It's about time," said Collins as we approached. "You take way too much time to get ready, Zoey."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLyAU5TudC
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXtLKr4NVj
"Thank you, Collins," said Zoey, brushing him off. "I know I look fabulous. You don't have to tell me."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTy1i92CSS
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFoSGAzRWq
Daniel and Mike shook their heads in disbelief as Christine and I laughed. Collins rolls his eyes and looks the other way. Lee, however, looks on at Zoey.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHCE4h2Mkg
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2WEShHgyp
Earlier on, I wondered why there were no paparazzi or reporters around. They were outside the hotel gates. I hadn't noticed until I heard screaming from the fans. Security is tight this time around. The gates leading to the hotel were closed, and the guards stood there to not let anyone in.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv9Slt3crO
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRJvrHoWlN
"Aren't they supposed to be here by now?" Mike asked. "It's already nine o'clock."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfdPv17Fcf
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXpf94FtbE
"Don't worry, they'll be here," said Lee. She stared at the gate. "Oh, look. Here they come now."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0RJLVEfha
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcw8a1tRKI
Three black BMW SUV cars appeared at the gate, and the fans were screaming like crazy.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjcP6ebeSz
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6gx6GVkgv
As I continued to look towards the gate with the guards trying to make way for the cars to drive through, I suddenly felt nervous. Everything that happened yesterday came rushing back into my mind. From the time I woke up this morning, I had been so oblivious to the events that had taken place. I haven't gone online to see what people are talking about. Obviously, it's all about BIGBANG and The Toxins, so I wouldn't check even if I wanted to.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyOMpOQQr3
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pcI8igioK
I got so lost in thought that I didn't notice the cars pull up in front of us. The next thing I knew, someone was whispering in my ear.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbSgvXhf1G
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3Opf1CW6I
"Hey, where is your head this morning?"1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIEM1WPgaq
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxGTwEFkFi
I jump in fright, and when I turn to see who it is, I furrow my eyebrows.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNgaUmKdBK
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cRdJvYGro
"Don't do that, Ji Yong," I said as I hit him on the arm. "You almost gave me a heart attack." G-Dragon smiles at me, and I look away, still feeling angry. I'm not going to fall for his charm this time.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn5KPfwW9V
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHsDlzhBWk
"I'm not going to get a good morning from you, then?" he asked.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NONT5zyeh
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywHoSyqtsl
"Don't mind her, GD," said Zoey as she came to stand right beside me. "She doesn't want anything to do with you."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXDuKulKF8
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kX8CEG4B4
"Oh really?" G-Dragon asked as he folded his arms. "I would like her to say that to my face; then I won't bother her ever again."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOE4Y2mXwj
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AXGlYexnd
I am startled. I can't look at him and say that. Furthermore, I'm just going to stammer. Not only that, but I have to admit, he had the skills and charms to make people shy and nervous.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K1anjMCSz
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QyP1fC4Li
"Come on, B.K. I'm waiting," he said in a sing-song voice. Is he mocking me? I'm still not looking at him, but I could feel myself blushing. What the heck is wrong with me? I'm supposed to be upset, not blushing!1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1WBX5Ce4d
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShl498XH7s
"I'm not doing this," I said and walked away, heading to one of the cars.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8RhneGFBG
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cdk4jqGRH
"Morning, Seungri," I said to him as he jumped out of one of them.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfHf4JZtQ7
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAek66szwm
"Morning, my panda," he said cheerfully as he pulled me into a hug.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUOAICDZhp
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBwO2QwQJZ
"Panda?" I blushed, as he still had me in his arms. I then remembered that he loves pandas.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJurgxdzwbY
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAr5w0Kqky
"I hope you had a good night's sleep. We're going to have a long day together," he said after we broke away from each other.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfHTGbvFWJ
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA5roY7B0w
"Let's just hope you don't get me into trouble while on tour," I said.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpEt6eVpbQ
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ak06EJzfT
Seungri took a step toward me, closing the gap between us. I could feel his breath on my face, and for a moment, I wanted to just stay there. But I'm in a dangerous position here. I want to move back, but he quickly places his hand on the small of my back. He pulls me closer so that our bodies touch. I just hope no one is seeing this.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVUA4qTl0X
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bjlGrsI4y
I swallow as I continue to gaze into his eyes. We were so close. If I made one wrong move, I might kiss him. I wonder if that would be a good or bad thing. I blush at the thought of it. Seungri notices and smiles. Damn! That makes me want to kiss him more. Wait, where did that thought even come from?1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94JrNRT3vF
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqJq3OQ9ci
"I know I'm trouble," he whispers, "but you're also one because you're messing with my mind right now."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD51nLnCZ3
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BGnmqXKTn
I'm speechless. I've never felt so captivated by words in my life. This is so stupid and freaky. I need someone to save me from this. But then, I want to savor this moment a little longer.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Sgu5WElc
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpZAaZeWKo
"Excuse me, am I interrupting?" came Taeyang.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7mM4YD50O
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKtSC80Bof
Thank goodness. I let out a sigh of relief when Seungri broke away from me. If I had to refer to anyone as my guardian angel right now, it's Taeyang.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUmf5s5CZ7
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRBx9HHaXb
"You came just in time," I told him, my cheeks still blushing. "Tell me Collins didn't see that."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH5hi6Etg2
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1lG0jdRmv
Taeyang pointed with his thumb behind him, and I saw Collins talking over the phone with his back to us. Phew! That's a relief. I looked over to see if anyone else had seen what had happened. Lee and Christine were chatting with T.O.P. and Daesung, while Zoey, Mike, and Daniel were with G-Dragon. It looks like I'm saved from all the trouble. But I knew it was going to catch up to me in one way or another.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGIC5gE4fj
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm8dRTSRqt
"Ah, come on," said Seungri. "You ruined my moment."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNWmwbD8gZ
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmtHmkWEnB
"You could've gone somewhere more private, then," said Taeyang with a smile on his face. That made me feel even more embarrassed.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLrdXdIncT
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzAhyykMug
"Well, I'm just glad you interfered," I said as I tried to speak. Somehow, my throat had suddenly become sore.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyLyZUCUpI
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ69BBcthu
"Okay, guys, we better get going," Collins announced. "We don't want to waste any more time."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd7driQ1Mw
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILjr5w2tCQ
I quickly went into the first car Seungri had been riding in. Collins, Taeyang, and Seungri followed. I sat in the front passenger's seat alongside the driver because I didn't want to be close to Seungri. Thank goodness Collins is also in the same car with me, or who knows what would happen without him. T.O.P., Daesung, Lee, and Christine got into the second car, and the others went in the third.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H0SJRjS8Q
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrziCD6lcW4
The cars drove away from the hotel building, and when we reached the gates, it was hard to drive through with the media and the screaming fans around. But we got out successfully and drove away.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6nLaYzZUH
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZN1DUEoXi
It's such a beautiful Sunday morning, and it's lovely to see the city during the daytime. I just couldn't wait to see the lovely parks and the ancient palaces. As much as Seoul is now a modern city, it's still rich in the Korean culture of long ago, with its ancient palaces still standing. I can't wait to see one of them. I've always had a thing for ancient artifacts, architecture, and culture. Likewise, I wonder where I got that from.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU09Sq7PKj
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWDA0DQmHB
We soon pulled over at the most extraordinary palace I've ever seen. As I looked out through the windshield, I couldn't keep my mouth closed. I had always seen such places in Korean movies and series. But now I get to see it in real life. I was so drawn towards it that I didn't hear Collins speaking to me until I heard something snap by my ear.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv39TqlLMvr
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx9zSEWmJg
"Hey, we've got to go, and you're already daydreaming," said Collins. He had snapped his fingers close to my ear. "When we're in there, you can daydream as much as you want."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObUJcKP6Xr
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy1vasJtsS
Collins, Seungri, and Taeyang got out of the car. Taeyang opened the door for me. I got out and thanked him. The others were already out of the cars they were in. We stood meters away from the main gates of the palace, and I couldn't help but wonder how big the place is within the palace grounds.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVQsK8G0cC
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFqJVfjUzQ
"Hello, annyeonghaseyo! (안녕하세요)" came a cheerful voice behind us. We all turn to find a young man in his mid-twenties dressed as a tour guide in a green golf shirt with brown chinos. A pretty young lady, also dressed in the same uniform, stood alongside him.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjDwjepG1J
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDghgYhTXb
"You must be The Toxins," said the young man. "I'm Sung Jong, your tour guide. Here with me is Mi Na; she'll be assisting me with the tour."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptMzNfpbwG
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcm9Feh5rK
"Hello," said Mi Na shyly. "I can't believe I'm giving The Toxins and BIGBANG a tour. I'm such a big fan of you both!"1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA1Xmz0lYL
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuCYPlTmsf
"Thanks," said Mike with a crooked bad boy smile on his face. "It clearly shows that you are."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGgZjROrpI
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRWA2LhyWZ
Mi Na quietly giggles and blushes as she lowers her head. I can't help but look at Mike. To be honest, I'm startled. Is he really flirting with her? If not, then I don't know what it is.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr96EI1vDx
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy8zLipiLW
"Mmm, your brother also likes to flirt," said G-Dragon as he came to stand next to me. "You should be more like him, don't you think?"1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlOAgcCkOE
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOfNZ3rmvK
"I'm better off the way I am, thank you very much," I replied as I turned to look at him. Dang it! He's giving me that irresistible smile of his. I quickly look away, praying for the tour to begin. I couldn't stand another minute with him by my side.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLmxvYwSKo
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsOZteZRK7
"Welcome to the Gyeongbokgung Palace," said Sung Jong. "This is the first royal palace to be built in the Joseon Dynasty. It's the largest of the five grand palaces remaining in Seoul. Once we're inside, you'll be able to get a view of Joseon's royal culture and architecture. If you follow me, please."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEldruBLpt
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9zgxUeckw
While Sung Jong talked about the palace's rich history and its rulers, we followed him, heading to the main gate. I got so enticed by whatever he had to say that I started to daydream. But what lay beyond the palace walls is what took my breath away.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftL7e4b389
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQOojdhe2g
The palace grounds were huge. There were many tourists and locals around, not forgetting schoolchildren on a field trip. Men and women dressed in traditional clothes called Hanboks were all over the place too. I felt like I had traveled back in time and was part of the Joseon era.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7emPM16kA
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5qAe4ZhzS
Sung Jong and Mi Na took us around the beautiful palace. The amazing artifacts and the architecture were intriguing and interesting. Somehow, we grew so oblivious to everything going on around us that The Toxins and BIGBANG. Fans came to us asking for our autographs. We also took pictures with them.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2hlsGQRWd
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThl5OS0fPr
Zoey, Christine, and I also took pictures with those dressed in pretty, colorful Hanboks. I wish I could have one myself.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT1A1pc3VM
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Te0RiyCHv
After I took a selfie with a gorgeous-looking lady in a pretty pink and white Hanbok, I felt someone grab me by the waist, pulling me backwards. I wondered what was going on when I felt something soft touch my cheek. Still confused, I looked slightly above me and heard the clicking sound of a snapshot on a phone. Someone had taken a selfie with me. And when I looked at the phone to see the picture, I didn't know whether to scream or drop dead.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB14SY7u9E
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpUuTGDDRb
The person who had grabbed me by the waist was T.O.P. He had pulled me toward him with my back leaning on his chest. And what I felt on my cheek were his lips. He kissed my cheek! I wanted to scream as I stared at the photo, but I couldn't. I lost my voice all of a sudden.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTFNE9YJZK
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa7DYYkyaw
Furthermore, I looked at myself in the photo, and it completely shows that I had no clue on what was going on. Likewise, I looked like a fool. And T.O.P., looking as handsome as ever, kissed my cheek while looking up at the camera. I couldn't help but blush.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKih4JQwDk
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWo2l96jGL
"I'm going to keep this photo forever," said T.O.P. as he gladly smiled at his phone. "You look so cute even when you don't know what's going on around you."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60EXKjzHMJ
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgr7N8BRLY
"All the more reason for you to delete it," I said. "Give me the phone!"1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnVaTgef1P
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL4NnsQ4oR
I tried to grab it from T.O.P., but he lifted it further out of my reach. I had to jump to get it, and all he did was laugh. He's making a fool out of me. I felt people's eyes on us. The last thing I want is to look like a nutjob. And T.O.P. is doing a pretty good job at making me look like one.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jJX8vugi3
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuLQEnC5Lw
"Give me the phone!" I said as I continued to jump for it, but T.O.P. kept moving around, making things even more difficult.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgHFy3JcB5
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRflKQ8R63q
"I'll give you the phone if you do me one little favour," he said as he stopped moving with his arm still raised in the air.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgE6edQAou
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPYXbRTzOr
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" I asked with my arms folded.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSncrNOWvt
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0X8TwggWm
T.O.P. took a step closer and slowly bent forward with his hands behind him. For a moment, I thought he was going to kiss me again, and that made my heart race. But instead, he whispered in my ear:1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRclHrPeCu
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCZTCF08gC
"I want you to kiss me in front of everyone here, right now."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFUdZCnLeC
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM3szCRhrC
As much as his deep, sexy voice enticed me, I grew startled and blushed. I looked at him, speechless. He lifted the corner of his mouth into a smile as well as his eyebrows, waiting for me to do what he wanted or admit defeat. I just sucked my teeth and gave up. I can't do it. Not in front of everyone. That would raise questions.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKUpw93kAY
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbLQZLsQC3
"You win, T.O.P." I said. "You can keep it."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmuIi7QxOR
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKamU8NlFrC
"Aww, I was really hoping you would take up the challenge," said T.O.P., looking disappointed.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc24pQD3dj
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZfVRiuUSj
"Well, you've put me in a weird position right now, and that I cannot do."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lJj2eLaI6
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSItae7PAX
"If you want, we can go somewhere more private." He winked. I blushed again.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRMROTn8Mk
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblu6Pz8okt
"No, thanks. Like I said, you can keep it."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdZL0KxwkT
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJr4s8hV6T
"That's a shame. I was ready to feel your lovely, kissable lips on mine and taste you," he whispers in my ear. He soon walks away. I stood there in the middle of the crowd, and I couldn't get what T.O.P. said out of my head. Were my lips that kissable? Why am I thinking like this? He's obviously kidding, right?1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKM1TL4feM
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UC1d7BMgo
"Hello, earth, to Samantha. Can you hear me?" Daniel waved his hand in front of my face to grab my attention. I quickly came back to reality. I wonder how long I've stood there like a statue.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz5FMyP80G
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oDW7NLdXX
"Are you okay?" Daniel asked. "I saw T.O.P. whispering to you, and you never came out of the palace with us. Did he say something? You've got this weird look on your face."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZHWiJlpwr
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUghNtbuMjJ
"It's nothing, Daniel," I said. "He was just joking around, that's all."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDnpT8oZUH
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3xQN3BwNJ
"Well, we better go. We have to leave and head to the museum. I hear the paparazzi and reporters are coming, so we better get going so as not to cause confusion."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtHK38JpWo

"Sorry, I got caught up with something," I replied as I looked over at T.O.P., who smiled back at me. I gave him the "it's your fault" stare. He read my eyes and winked. I looked away, blushing. I can be such an idiot sometimes.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt4gYaBdPm

We drove to the National Museum, where we got a full view of Korea's history, art, and various research studies in archaeology. It actually turned out to be fun and interesting. Afterwards, we were taken to Myeong-dong, one of the best shopping areas in Seoul, to look through stores and restaurants. Anything you could ever think of buying, you would find it in Myeong-dong, we were told. We had lunch at a famous restaurant, and for the first time, The Toxins, Lee, and Collins had a taste of the famous kimchi. It was so delicious that some of us kept asking for more. We also had grilled black pork (Heukdwejigui), cooking it on the grill before picking it up with our chopsticks to eat it.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmtBlYMC0f

After lunch, we visited the Banpodoegyo bridge in downtown Seoul over the Han River. The amazing thing about this bridge is that it is above another called Jamsu, forming a double-deck bridge. We then went to Hangang Park and found ourselves taking in the view of the Hangang River. I always thought Paris was the most romantic place to be, but after taking in the view of Korea, I had to admit that this is the most romantic place I've ever been to. There were beautiful cherry blossom trees around, and I also noticed many couples hanging around. Some held hands as they walked; others sat on the grass in each other's arms. It's so romantic that I feel left out. I have this weird feeling in my chest. Is it envy?1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJFojvAF09

"Am I the only one who's feeling like this?" Christine asked as she walked beside me, also taking a look around.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJNdSfIkIF

"What?" I asked.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNmSHutlUl

"You aren't the only one," I said. I sighed as I looked at one lovely couple passing us, holding hands.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq4GEW2PsX

"Argh..., love. Disgusting," said Daniel as he poked his tongue out as though he had just tasted something bitter.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4P5oYZtMd

"Don't say that, Daniel," said Seungri. "One day, you'll know what love is and how much you really need it, right, Sam?"1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3Rhhoof9L

I didn't answer the question as I quickly turned away, twirling a strand of my hair with my fingers. I do that sometimes whenever I want to avoid a question that I find pretty hard to answer.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWOzqpLpC2

"Seungri, you're doing it again. Stop intimidating her," said Daesung. My second guardian angel. "Your questions are really annoying sometimes."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC9eauB10q

"But come to think of it," started G-Dragon. Oh no, I sense trouble. "We all need love. I think Sam has no objection to that."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu07EhC09B

"I agree with GD," said Zoey. Great! It's like these two are ganging up on me. No wonder they get along so well. And I've got a feeling something's going to be brought - the topic I hate the most.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNz8guvSzg

"I think it's high time Sam found herself a boyfriend," Zoey blurted out. "She needs a little love in her life."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NsyG8q4Go
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh92MLT0Hf
For a moment, everyone stops walking and falls silent, including Collins, who hadn't said a single word. I slap my forehead with my palm and wonder why I ever had Zoey for a best friend. Right now, I feel like falling off a cliff.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7meifAyuGE

"Are you seriously bringing that up now?" I asked. "That's a little personal, don't you think?"1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMSKduR9B3

"We should rather avoid it," said Taeyang.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBC6Bncab3
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu0vgpYB3Y
"Thank you, Taeyang," said Collins. "Now can we please move on? We can't stay here for long. We're going to attract people's attention."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSLO7N4w3N

It's a little late for that. We already did, and a few fans surrounded us, asking for autographs and pictures. Usually, it's hard to refuse.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQTWC1hUHt

When we got out of the park, we went to visit the other palaces in Seoul. It was evening by the time we headed to Lotte World. The lovely amusement park reminded me of Disney World. We had so much fun, and we made sure to take some memorable pictures.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbqBBOnuoK

After a long day of sightseeing and having fun, it was finally time to head back to the hotel. Tomorrow is another busy day, said Collins. I had so much fun that I forgot why we came to Korea in the first place.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF6CYUmTqT
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPvNIGP0qc
While the cars drove us back to the hotel, I felt tired. I'm in one of the cars with Collins, who sat in the front passenger's seat, and I sat in between Taeyang and Daesung. I didn't want to be in the same car with Zoey since she upset me earlier. Nor with G-Dragon, T.O.P., or Seungri. I yawned and leaned my head back on the seat. I slowly started to doze off.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvmJA7kqOH

"You can lean on my shoulder," said Daesung. "That's if you're okay with it."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIuUiZyci6
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Y57MZEkW
Without giving it a thought, I put my head on Daesung's shoulder and closed my eyes. In a second, my eyes quickly flew open as I looked directly at the rearview mirror to see Collins' reaction. He gives me an assuring look that he doesn't mind at all. I relaxed as I gladly closed my eyes again and immediately drifted off to sleep.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdRGVNZal5
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPAeYVC4oX
In what felt like a few minutes, I heard Daesung gently wake me up. I didn't want to move, and I found it quite comfortable leaning on his shoulder.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEtnX8C9Ww
1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwFKu5ejxR
"Sam, wake up; we're already here," he said.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh35S0sGYLQ

"I'm so tired," I muttered with my eyes closed. "I don't think I can move right now."1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb7d0jnS6n

Taeyang slowly took me in his arms and gently carried me out. I woke up after a slightly cool breeze blew by. I look around and find myself still in Taeyang's arms, my arms wrapped around his neck. Likewise, I see Lee, Christine, and Zoey giggling as they look at me. Furthermore, I blush when I notice G-Dragon, T.O.P., and Seungri look at us funny.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVPHKmgjLo

We all said our goodbyes, and the BIGBANG members left. The rest of us went up to our rooms, and we couldn't stop talking about all the exciting places we had visited and the delicious food we had.1108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu7ua7YM4u

After we had our supper and went to bed, I couldn't help but think of other amazing places I could visit in South Korea. The country is truly a beautiful place. I drifted off to sleep with a smile on my face, imagining where I might go next.8964 copyright protection1104ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YOBbRACVT 維尼
