"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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVA4uN6FiC
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xbd5xwVZs
"You know I need to look good for G-Dragon, Sam," said Zoey from inside.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrpAsNeW0m
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbjd8k5ihs
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fQYPzNGjs
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIGYymd4y2
"Are you done yet?" I asked. "You don't have to look like a princess, you know. It's just a tour."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOHMGNCUbL
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2vI8Ni9CX
"Hey, I don't want people to think I'm a tourist. I want to look fabulous."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSJBceTGor
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtAGMTMlXk
"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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTWFcRgR85
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8jm8TaKrE
"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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvTL5NsF90
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzjZ5HsFFx
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BlAe5wmmM
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNxAwBkLm8
"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."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB7XR9gEPA
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerAszRTHDz
"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."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aNWrg7omc
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDaVRS71JG
"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."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0aYEdqFYk
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM22CBzD0v
"Haha, very funny," said Zoey sarcastically as she furrowed her eyebrows at me. "Let's go. The others must be waiting."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp6XTF5sDv
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu6r4tzVvK
"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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF8pzaZyf1
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2HcTugwsP
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYTCVd5CBZ
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudbsRvRvX3
As Zoey and I walked over to the front doors of the hotel, we found Collins and the others waiting outside.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38tikOEsvC
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSXf6XU44r
"It's about time," said Collins as we approached. "You take way too much time to get ready, Zoey."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtNHG8XKkY
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnKUnC1uFd
"Thank you, Collins," said Zoey, brushing him off. "I know I look fabulous. You don't have to tell me."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHd2I9rpCf
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G0hv2QJI2
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG893qWePMt
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a4KqWFGro
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtzIZMCmzV
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB7mKy3jcs
"Aren't they supposed to be here by now?" Mike asked. "It's already nine o'clock."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6LIjceL7x
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt1Wa3QJXs
"Don't worry, they'll be here," said Lee. She stared at the gate. "Oh, look. Here they come now."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeaubEjdoX
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH4N5DdJKv
Three black BMW SUV cars appeared at the gate, and the fans were screaming like crazy.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3fkuYyBKH
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzYTc0rH59
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fH77udTHc
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa6F3Xvw9p
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanM2MjvXhS
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExNSqwFaJr
"Hey, where is your head this morning?"1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡampebpBFhN
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oqUo4Jhp2
I jump in fright, and when I turn to see who it is, I furrow my eyebrows.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48qc2zNnnM
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCdGjdL9v9
"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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHV88xm1r9
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPHVMq34lF
"I'm not going to get a good morning from you, then?" he asked.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdV5AIbsrP
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL4Wu78NdN
"Don't mind her, GD," said Zoey as she came to stand right beside me. "She doesn't want anything to do with you."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M2P3fG5AV
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCRZKHcIXW
"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."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnry8eVVney
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDt8KreYLu
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzepJHwHIGO
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqoHMb6Cfy
"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!1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnFlZMJOuY
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCnQn5aPOx
"I'm not doing this," I said and walked away, heading to one of the cars.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlGo7DWfhv
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKOgK3kj6U
"Morning, Seungri," I said to him as he jumped out of one of them.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y32v1ElnO
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKzLLG8fGl
"Morning, my panda," he said cheerfully as he pulled me into a hug.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hfO6N1Nfx
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBovDUn0jag
"Panda?" I blushed, as he still had me in his arms. I then remembered that he loves pandas.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO0RB7rA4B
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uVxHDu5zM
"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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJef2qMdwIh
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTAdlqfdcg
"Let's just hope you don't get me into trouble while on tour," I said.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9B8iyUEPH
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM60bnkPSAq
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ysjLLNCzF
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx2neo6zHM
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?1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1cTZ8RwJO
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU6i4vzL7O
"I know I'm trouble," he whispers, "but you're also one because you're messing with my mind right now."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWIoy7tKKk
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt67Rhj3fi
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCpVVvPXTA
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLZbjj5X0C
"Excuse me, am I interrupting?" came Taeyang.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqwmL4y9dl
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3taczEADF
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77OOqjxgv3
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyhxHNh5n8
"You came just in time," I told him, my cheeks still blushing. "Tell me Collins didn't see that."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqCmrdBDzV
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WECwZjo0A
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmJtyVX7lz
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1iKHtWaFu
"Ah, come on," said Seungri. "You ruined my moment."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIDVUSIf02
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcr0DekQPg
"You could've gone somewhere more private, then," said Taeyang with a smile on his face. That made me feel even more embarrassed.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlAXsT6198
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9WfUf7ZZL
"Well, I'm just glad you interfered," I said as I tried to speak. Somehow, my throat had suddenly become sore.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmbgknhUsA
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f85mmaU6h
"Okay, guys, we better get going," Collins announced. "We don't want to waste any more time."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3OsyI2206
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMNfK338oe
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOg03orCzf
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58TsloBpQT
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtWB48RZUs
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcJ3h6oyfz
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIFy936QUz
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEEE0TCJWm
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPLGBnRfMx
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8vW71r5mz
"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."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN1edU8NV7
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsgrI10ozX
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ImCZIE2hq
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6LkUcFgj7
"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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwlKFAVYeh
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtZZyDXx4H
"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."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rLreRyQOY
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Ohc1WB3Q
"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!"1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHW8i8C3wq
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EaU1SY2Ig
"Thanks," said Mike with a crooked bad boy smile on his face. "It clearly shows that you are."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYamxTt29Nc
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcqB4IC33c
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JPDiQkuIz
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqAZnJt5kA
"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?"1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyAvAEBL3Q
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszoDU5Gpf7
"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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwPq70Zx1c
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC881aIuGo
"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."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInHMjV9Uh7
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WII2dMhTs
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAcwoGBtyl
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyrIT74Yc8
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNUkZEYNhZ
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbQkZzqXZ8
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCh0QmSZEH
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBCNdCjr9q
Zoey, Christine, and I also took pictures with those dressed in pretty, colorful Hanboks. I wish I could have one myself.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6P5QKSist
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSty9GqvoSC
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwErPFM6ual
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE3hY7aPeA
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeoruwbO5n
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqG7FYVIuJ
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJPEbUVVz8
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dVe5HACb5
"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."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pVEfbqGiQ
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9klSCJRnJ
"All the more reason for you to delete it," I said. "Give me the phone!"1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhm0zQJPFn
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8k70e5Oyx
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeCyjdQ6hU
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIBYfVou8E
"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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgihPdGmY2
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOMiNOJhAJ
"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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CqSeVQ0SM
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsgVvQdcU6
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" I asked with my arms folded.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFZuP5pGfa
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrWe6TwqPj
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:1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2Hsqchvc1
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIIOyIsgpj
"I want you to kiss me in front of everyone here, right now."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql1kMZGGMU
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP02xtTPk0
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynDqm751Ja
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI5RpXSYp8
"You win, T.O.P." I said. "You can keep it."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNEjOQ6LcI
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwBzLCnpLe
"Aww, I was really hoping you would take up the challenge," said T.O.P., looking disappointed.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy1UCZNQ8a
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8GtzV2bli
"Well, you've put me in a weird position right now, and that I cannot do."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoSJo9RqmX
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxVQIzFbmU
"If you want, we can go somewhere more private." He winked. I blushed again.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2hazAp83U
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq5JyZ819h
"No, thanks. Like I said, you can keep it."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBV2X0zGdB
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbTrK0NQVR
"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?1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkA7GbO0Zc

"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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNGJmQa6Xg
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpNGgIGMhJ
"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."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUt6xIrF7V
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9ZCz7FpXF

1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk2M54Q3Vb

"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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20RIaTjU2I

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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD5T47nDAG

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?1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGx7LPTs1e

"Am I the only one who's feeling like this?" Christine asked as she walked beside me, also taking a look around.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KDy622x6n
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHl9vFxopW
"What?" I asked.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEUTQcLu67

"Haven't you noticed? There are so many couples around, and I feel so left out."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw76Pf5NXe
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS3HLbkjun
"You aren't the only one," I said. I sighed as I looked at one lovely couple passing us, holding hands.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU32f1SilN

"Argh..., love. Disgusting," said Daniel as he poked his tongue out as though he had just tasted something bitter.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1E0wobkEN
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmWTH5rEZe
"Don't say that, Daniel," said Seungri. "One day, you'll know what love is and how much you really need it, right, Sam?"1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7iEKaVZ90
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktRzLZXTpG
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHsGyTSBcJ

"Seungri, you're doing it again. Stop intimidating her," said Daesung. My second guardian angel. "Your questions are really annoying sometimes."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOdKllyHgd

"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."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAZsziPhyV

"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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegcEbbY1Xc

"I think it's high time Sam found herself a boyfriend," Zoey blurted out. "She needs a little love in her life."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXDchg7pSG
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Tqcn4wve
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3HBxYaTEb

"Are you seriously bringing that up now?" I asked. "That's a little personal, don't you think?"1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJZGl6V862

"We should rather avoid it," said Taeyang.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAARCa0Wqf
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwfLPuvC2w
"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."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4eWGNNtMd

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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzaOohilKX

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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSFsIUazh4

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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0CQA9vrQA
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxyQocbsQN
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQeESeIiz9

"You can lean on my shoulder," said Daesung. "That's if you're okay with it."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMLX4Twp1k
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMKW5ddfp7
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbPMp1n7ah
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQRx0sZq3o
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVLzmabgoB
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDoDvrL9ia
"Sam, wake up; we're already here," he said.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56QOfz6u94
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWZPAMDVOC
"I'm so tired," I muttered with my eyes closed. "I don't think I can move right now."1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXNFQutH0b

"Fine, I'll help you out of the car," said Taeyang as I heard him open the door.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIflWUkkx1
1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnplu0iJvw
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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj8CggMPDr

"You can put me down now," I told Taeyang. He slowly and gently did so.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0S7WLnMb6

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.1292Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWK8mocNnp

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.1234 copyright protection1288ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP9J2fooNd 尼
