"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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1eBmdQlQY
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEvk1niwh0
"You know I need to look good for G-Dragon, Sam," said Zoey from inside.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4TpoTU0c2
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s5li0OMWL
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMwgXiio62
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbfo6mayGk
"Are you done yet?" I asked. "You don't have to look like a princess, you know. It's just a tour."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMG9RUSY03
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAvMGjacFj
"Hey, I don't want people to think I'm a tourist. I want to look fabulous."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPFKe3MuZW
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJScO79TDO
"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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0J3KyVzpC
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWwDTpuPJh
"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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo1pSTuWWo
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPvdYM3g8l
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd3NkrcKi3
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYvzj1VJbs
"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."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILUEjpMfOG
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6wZ9yxjVc
"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."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ50GIygLx5
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEJK4gsJId
"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."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s2C9yprqB
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2jSfceOEB
"Haha, very funny," said Zoey sarcastically as she furrowed her eyebrows at me. "Let's go. The others must be waiting."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRboxkekzaT
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiU396LLf3
"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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0OYbaKErJ
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ncwn38UFS
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6OgnjXOSp
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLPBHxv9lW
As Zoey and I walked over to the front doors of the hotel, we found Collins and the others waiting outside.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fWF9m0Eqj
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5QF4L5s9d
"It's about time," said Collins as we approached. "You take way too much time to get ready, Zoey."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzVXGWnkeM
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdpOR7370z
"Thank you, Collins," said Zoey, brushing him off. "I know I look fabulous. You don't have to tell me."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctIzlKC9mG
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRh4iZOaiC
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPX2Jz1IA3
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTpjQcUMcr
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HmVvbfJbU
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHMUoijAO6
"Aren't they supposed to be here by now?" Mike asked. "It's already nine o'clock."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb93X8tlY9A
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE0597EB0b
"Don't worry, they'll be here," said Lee. She stared at the gate. "Oh, look. Here they come now."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluiHxdBmlY
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9cPcTKIFH
Three black BMW SUV cars appeared at the gate, and the fans were screaming like crazy.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG10zXSkXkD
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWGQwZWq1S
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYglA3WkiF
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXUax3CHEr
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouaPmiSWxQ
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jd52VIEr5
"Hey, where is your head this morning?"1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcbQbrMGRA
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviIK2QQpcb
I jump in fright, and when I turn to see who it is, I furrow my eyebrows.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnsmrtUmCb
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5uJrWIL1K
"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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrOXUhWCpQ
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKG2zXBNzq
"I'm not going to get a good morning from you, then?" he asked.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAfEmPqci6
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03yvE1gMX8
"Don't mind her, GD," said Zoey as she came to stand right beside me. "She doesn't want anything to do with you."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLQxBm3RTs
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlN0SrKU6h
"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."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnSZsrAZEI
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1fQ1SsDuJ
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7iEdHBfpp
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFJo004046
"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!1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriaYbESPmB
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalX5V9aCPi
"I'm not doing this," I said and walked away, heading to one of the cars.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡardeinPC69
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwed4rDtrLV
"Morning, Seungri," I said to him as he jumped out of one of them.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2vqDJgWd7
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXAdqb9qrs
"Morning, my panda," he said cheerfully as he pulled me into a hug.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydMVAaOJD9
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQS9tgcyET
"Panda?" I blushed, as he still had me in his arms. I then remembered that he loves pandas.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPfkSaCJTq
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPLzsdVZn5
"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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwyiSjQI2U
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWxQVvDA1b
"Let's just hope you don't get me into trouble while on tour," I said.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU022OBYhd
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0Pk8F33LG
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTchZGcaqZ
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BcKOgqHw4
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?1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSnANi7sqI
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZVLpIlosd
"I know I'm trouble," he whispers, "but you're also one because you're messing with my mind right now."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVU7T134mN
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4VZoxQ7Uu
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw0XzB2G5I
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtfuNsliR0
"Excuse me, am I interrupting?" came Taeyang.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY47c5Qpl4
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ZEt9C7Qv
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKHfQzV9sz
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1UoffAWCD
"You came just in time," I told him, my cheeks still blushing. "Tell me Collins didn't see that."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxZUMTo462
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhQA56yPop
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHb8DQhm7B
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQI2sB3d6w
"Ah, come on," said Seungri. "You ruined my moment."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs21UpVMTzb
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7xWcbet26
"You could've gone somewhere more private, then," said Taeyang with a smile on his face. That made me feel even more embarrassed.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWzSRRW0CV
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3hoJmfrd4
"Well, I'm just glad you interfered," I said as I tried to speak. Somehow, my throat had suddenly become sore.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL6Ba5Mevh
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoEiLJhSsH
"Okay, guys, we better get going," Collins announced. "We don't want to waste any more time."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EITR5satb
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJFGYhk0Eo
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0KU4NpQ9j
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOIPYi0CXl
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuQlhJTpmA
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1c4LNf4NR
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn1g72MZbR
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyInTRNJNkl
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7JxQqHnQN
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGFrEjFBoH
"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."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzhQoXWejw
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHuidUqXX6
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6pi7Vozof
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s4KFO6oRf
"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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhgYTf1X7C
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfW6tW1chf
"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."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Q18PdbCU
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2xsvBbYgT
"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!"1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAq8L0DHgD
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS8mSeHp4N
"Thanks," said Mike with a crooked bad boy smile on his face. "It clearly shows that you are."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF5h4Yrhcc
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLlFW1hckl
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjJW9za3kI
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKXJzgstwV
"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?"1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dZYZ1x4Fn
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3Y64bHfGQ
"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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK5gAFGVyz
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fPSHhkLl1
"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."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjXQxDJFjd
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JHJdGT8c5
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJnqrQhJrL
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSk3WUEGiQ
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCwfDBOkGU
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLpP1GUCQZ
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBMU5gshWT
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwSYw9pswo
Zoey, Christine, and I also took pictures with those dressed in pretty, colorful Hanboks. I wish I could have one myself.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbjk6XMP7S
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi1xTmXNjD
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFnvF8QG1j
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sDoGnmHUt
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE1Vs1lkJ0
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4JQHlKVYr
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncXSxCR1WO
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVdFHjPP3U
"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."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXrwnh53CT
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7cuB7z69j
"All the more reason for you to delete it," I said. "Give me the phone!"1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvL2rKQkK3
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjJDTl4Dij
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWxQa6FRq1
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6o3ASosRI
"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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE09XZn82of
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmAT7rOJCV
"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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQuYJ4v2Sa
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTwCW1W58J
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" I asked with my arms folded.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRdhNaBCTZ
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW7TO9cI9K
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:1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSEqYEQIYv
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLlpfUDrll
"I want you to kiss me in front of everyone here, right now."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG9JpvRTuf
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn2ZxbK3fL
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4lhaZRGdv
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufPP0wzpPs
"You win, T.O.P." I said. "You can keep it."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTxucFW4oY
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMbRFxvZtB
"Aww, I was really hoping you would take up the challenge," said T.O.P., looking disappointed.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwF9NDzcpF
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGViodQLRJ
"Well, you've put me in a weird position right now, and that I cannot do."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXBlGUrS5U
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkvIsaXHi0
"If you want, we can go somewhere more private." He winked. I blushed again.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFplhTdEHE
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhpGMpEPik
"No, thanks. Like I said, you can keep it."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziitkAZb2e
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhUnCehOMQ
"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?1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUSCqkkuKC
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNRgAr7MGE
"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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFKEsmM4RG
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOPR95dccY
"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."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXruWFrNdHh
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ022pHdVn

1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSShIi8yQ4
"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."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡempv6yj8sT

"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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF8P0r7XCs

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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecgKMdmIkr

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?1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvuL8dDGmD

"Am I the only one who's feeling like this?" Christine asked as she walked beside me, also taking a look around.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCeK7c35zt
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o7Qvd81JP
"What?" I asked.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YbHfEhAMy

"You aren't the only one," I said. I sighed as I looked at one lovely couple passing us, holding hands.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlyg1o4rIC

"Argh..., love. Disgusting," said Daniel as he poked his tongue out as though he had just tasted something bitter.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPdwqcESfc
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjCz2tLBi9
"Don't say that, Daniel," said Seungri. "One day, you'll know what love is and how much you really need it, right, Sam?"1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPLmHIuLKM
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxfSTBpGW4
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQWEjCpUsa

"Seungri, you're doing it again. Stop intimidating her," said Daesung. My second guardian angel. "Your questions are really annoying sometimes."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVkOuesEH8

"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."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZlZohTeWB

"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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN0dcSukYk

"I think it's high time Sam found herself a boyfriend," Zoey blurted out. "She needs a little love in her life."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV3rgkOFlA

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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjREYHMpItc

"Are you seriously bringing that up now?" I asked. "That's a little personal, don't you think?"1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKBDGTFWQi

"We should rather avoid it," said Taeyang.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrOoUrCDk7
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTaA0sLTvh
"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."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb17EpRMzQz

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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k5fJCo9ff

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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kA5iRcbGj

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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUkZcVkJ2l
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwswRhWyg0
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WR1SWnhOt

"You can lean on my shoulder," said Daesung. "That's if you're okay with it."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHps1dDRbw
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvOVi7cTWl
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUqlZPSjKL
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMpSDYLqVN
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmAy8n7zKc
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufsX4sCKfm
"Sam, wake up; we're already here," he said.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK2mvRaDdH

"I'm so tired," I muttered with my eyes closed. "I don't think I can move right now."1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEk6B3tXfr

"Fine, I'll help you out of the car," said Taeyang as I heard him open the door.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DcEAOZKTi
1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHuTtbsXvF
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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCM8mn9K8f

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.1046Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPh5mguQ49

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 protection1042ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSEphooyV5 維尼
