"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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQli5EdXZu
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAkANZ2QBp
"You know I need to look good for G-Dragon, Sam," said Zoey from inside.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DbWb8ri1t
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloQxjK6ILs
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHolWxN8Ary
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziAF7rCZ31
"Are you done yet?" I asked. "You don't have to look like a princess, you know. It's just a tour."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV9cEo4iRl
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbDPh2pm6v
"Hey, I don't want people to think I'm a tourist. I want to look fabulous."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3VVKhVHoK
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATuZvaA41G
"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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9bOwKAsKU
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1puGRZM8S
"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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VsZVJwnEg
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4coq7CxP9l
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaYITf7h1E
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws7btJg45K
"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."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc5QPVXZBG
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiie8gMYbF
"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."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAGBP0dWSV
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rvPEfwUNz
"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."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsnh2xo28a
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WmVcbyqSb
"Haha, very funny," said Zoey sarcastically as she furrowed her eyebrows at me. "Let's go. The others must be waiting."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XZq6Htewt
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrDfib5va4
"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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PGppMJQky
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zD1CNPOWZ
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAgemVylfX
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jEFr3nrkz
As Zoey and I walked over to the front doors of the hotel, we found Collins and the others waiting outside.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfECa0BYBj
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dIX1L4l9E
"It's about time," said Collins as we approached. "You take way too much time to get ready, Zoey."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqg4Vc4EXQ
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckVUQyMoYq
"Thank you, Collins," said Zoey, brushing him off. "I know I look fabulous. You don't have to tell me."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxdLQ7Khmk
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cvYluzW1i
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdGIzD5G32
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJiqCZP0Wp
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx9QL144vG
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDFkaNn8bb
"Aren't they supposed to be here by now?" Mike asked. "It's already nine o'clock."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg03mVxwUNy
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpWvW55Vba
"Don't worry, they'll be here," said Lee. She stared at the gate. "Oh, look. Here they come now."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNii0mkjd6w
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfoF0EbID8
Three black BMW SUV cars appeared at the gate, and the fans were screaming like crazy.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEZzFn4iC5
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9Q81YAfez
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIjNSKNvdU
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4QU1HGqRs
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSP3OomzLR
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OMvLCXIRy
"Hey, where is your head this morning?"1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fb5LjVfvJ
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVzCfDsuf7
I jump in fright, and when I turn to see who it is, I furrow my eyebrows.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLEe6B7f8T
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyFQdRK46F
"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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ7fXLL9BN
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc9oVzbNYE
"I'm not going to get a good morning from you, then?" he asked.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOc9YCAMOJ
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgcuXEhLSd
"Don't mind her, GD," said Zoey as she came to stand right beside me. "She doesn't want anything to do with you."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYUfE40OYX
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxap5n77t8J
"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."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKAIjMX0yx
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdbMy2p0Wc
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP7ED1r2wa
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUZom3ztlp
"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!1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIhOhxVJNl
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKAM5vWAoG
"I'm not doing this," I said and walked away, heading to one of the cars.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rzovEum2B
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAcjx7XzVp
"Morning, Seungri," I said to him as he jumped out of one of them.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g59r4h6yu
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn0AGb5RRd
"Morning, my panda," he said cheerfully as he pulled me into a hug.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBfVCrMCWI
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvxmDNMxGV
"Panda?" I blushed, as he still had me in his arms. I then remembered that he loves pandas.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOeYQrkqKS
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1IOxvROws
"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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpq3PfA0tZ
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwPquIda3B
"Let's just hope you don't get me into trouble while on tour," I said.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUiXoV5ath
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3mvlhLA17
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVR9sIBiiu
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29Of388knT
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?1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83YsSyy0W0
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRHiay3S31
"I know I'm trouble," he whispers, "but you're also one because you're messing with my mind right now."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLslPx9l5tn
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FPL1KZLaH
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9f4obQglN
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YZBSttUz8
"Excuse me, am I interrupting?" came Taeyang.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G2jA1CWNO
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1uS987uGQ
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxDEoduJt1
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBj4bR8rNl
"You came just in time," I told him, my cheeks still blushing. "Tell me Collins didn't see that."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKqMbReB4R
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF2oCKOVPB
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnViOepfIkZ
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU1DorRVQU
"Ah, come on," said Seungri. "You ruined my moment."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFJIakkxqw
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryOO9NukXS
"You could've gone somewhere more private, then," said Taeyang with a smile on his face. That made me feel even more embarrassed.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPjmD53nnT
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr8W3Si2Kq
"Well, I'm just glad you interfered," I said as I tried to speak. Somehow, my throat had suddenly become sore.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJIrwJaPVH
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hFFPnFjpx
"Okay, guys, we better get going," Collins announced. "We don't want to waste any more time."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTPG94i9Oo
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FjH5WdVwE
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpyPnlPiUN
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM6cD5Hj0V
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtLBB7OyC8
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePKCFqMYnF
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfVPQn6wm7
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn1eEfNyIh
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY2vqniFA6
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMwJWLVzlf
"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."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUINLoawXoZ
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqzjYC5G7g
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcxgVZNk2m
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBCdcG5n7w
"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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiolzbqwpKS
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGpOPb2aGh
"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."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx8qlbk7t1
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHG26pAOm1
"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!"1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ez2NoJJsC
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRbYSYWzNF
"Thanks," said Mike with a crooked bad boy smile on his face. "It clearly shows that you are."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k9zRAI3VR
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs9mEu49BM
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqJVT1tccJ
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A5JlFxG6j
"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?"1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmJhZq1rWX
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSFoX43q04
"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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe2NUmzZAN
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB298gDM6w
"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."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVXMrnOMCT
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UoROUAsIt
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQVJIpBKPQ
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZeTmz1b3R
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAi1ARlFq6
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7tG3bvpSc
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKANn5fSCh
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiERonETKNE
Zoey, Christine, and I also took pictures with those dressed in pretty, colorful Hanboks. I wish I could have one myself.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojNb14OCxP
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4A6KAc9Cf
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbXiPIFAIp
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzrdfQht1c
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvg2yk0R6M
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRaWq0JvA6
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKhaEbtcI2
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1aTCF2vch
"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."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRhwjH3nnc
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtOyCQMRAG
"All the more reason for you to delete it," I said. "Give me the phone!"1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX59zU4xWb
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tdoj2VAwy
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ahtjSoNPn
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHt2LFsxJ6
"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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4cc31QSG4
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl3Bj5HLjA
"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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8jUgziuAI
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3F8me9psB
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" I asked with my arms folded.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0S9TrkEdC
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPGtHJe0aV
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:1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUs4Rgfs5G
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWp5GyHf8d
"I want you to kiss me in front of everyone here, right now."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9unMRhtk4f
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEncqsImVn
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyU1XdHyW9
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdKL7PaVYc
"You win, T.O.P." I said. "You can keep it."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6orxJZdmA
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGQyAAcFJb
"Aww, I was really hoping you would take up the challenge," said T.O.P., looking disappointed.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GMqUcJ7qY
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFOxWB4zqG
"Well, you've put me in a weird position right now, and that I cannot do."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG66ynF2rXz
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO6TuyduJN
"If you want, we can go somewhere more private." He winked. I blushed again.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZGdDamMvh
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZuPFpz9qD
"No, thanks. Like I said, you can keep it."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1ZDjpbwPq
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRId82ircdf
"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?1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozLAbJsHUD
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NaZu0NsY0
"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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86EHCx4RkI
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuY71WiGbj
"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."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqiTI6TTdG

1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEwoTgWz3M
"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."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVdUNpIlW0

"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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQqEpOZ6qL

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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgt4EidubD

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?1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXO8xTmRGy

"Am I the only one who's feeling like this?" Christine asked as she walked beside me, also taking a look around.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo2JVQOu7y
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgBLDYGZEf
"What?" I asked.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCqNy06adT

"You aren't the only one," I said. I sighed as I looked at one lovely couple passing us, holding hands.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHDLD2o0JT

"Argh..., love. Disgusting," said Daniel as he poked his tongue out as though he had just tasted something bitter.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzErTOG0yp4

"Don't say that, Daniel," said Seungri. "One day, you'll know what love is and how much you really need it, right, Sam?"1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf6Rgt3ksX

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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDGjRlkZTK

"Seungri, you're doing it again. Stop intimidating her," said Daesung. My second guardian angel. "Your questions are really annoying sometimes."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQNoDIflg6

"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."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpbBlXV2HE

"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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYVVwcirvY

"I think it's high time Sam found herself a boyfriend," Zoey blurted out. "She needs a little love in her life."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmXvYpn1C7

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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd2wNB2jve

"Are you seriously bringing that up now?" I asked. "That's a little personal, don't you think?"1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0F1nbxH2B

"We should rather avoid it," said Taeyang.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJZAD8UuB3
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ekKU8pjih
"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."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqVjmtzPrA

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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gw4wwC1wb

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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOKJEITHr1

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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwioYLN7knL
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomDtLTaSNZ
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UJXj8YgRo

"You can lean on my shoulder," said Daesung. "That's if you're okay with it."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb2BjscLAH
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKMpoLvY0l
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQOaJVnJfW
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfEIEPyFhk
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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr13twA9Cmy
1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKHU1Ll6Tj
"Sam, wake up; we're already here," he said.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0Qbrbpu5B

"I'm so tired," I muttered with my eyes closed. "I don't think I can move right now."1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4kjGnTqrR

"Fine, I'll help you out of the car," said Taeyang as I heard him open the door.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjeHfyI3Mv

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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4dYMTjheH

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.1083Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTwyoWCUc8

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 protection1079ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVnLMt6i1L 維尼
