"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAByM6L1xBDa
734Please respect copyright.PENANAD6mfVaq6VK
"You know I need to look good for G-Dragon, Sam," said Zoey from inside.734Please respect copyright.PENANA8KGU2ViTW6
734Please respect copyright.PENANARDdHai0ukj
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAu471EIrPZF
734Please respect copyright.PENANAzUfLpnU6F6
"Are you done yet?" I asked. "You don't have to look like a princess, you know. It's just a tour."734Please respect copyright.PENANArfSUyP2lKY
734Please respect copyright.PENANA49VrTmPOR2
"Hey, I don't want people to think I'm a tourist. I want to look fabulous."734Please respect copyright.PENANAVq0K6ZB398
734Please respect copyright.PENANACmen7wCBKW
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAgucw1YCLzj
734Please respect copyright.PENANAvRtYPsAb4X
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAT5A6tOFR4v
734Please respect copyright.PENANAAouCqQ6lNZ
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAc2XGaQCsyq
734Please respect copyright.PENANAm5fUxjRqrd
"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."734Please respect copyright.PENANAaHLz6Ffk63
734Please respect copyright.PENANAeD0fgOq77k
"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."734Please respect copyright.PENANAuCTfn5gbGJ
734Please respect copyright.PENANAKKSobpZyTL
"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."734Please respect copyright.PENANArNKN86gTab
734Please respect copyright.PENANAZXrs8xsaZE
"Haha, very funny," said Zoey sarcastically as she furrowed her eyebrows at me. "Let's go. The others must be waiting."734Please respect copyright.PENANA9FEcXYyNh7
734Please respect copyright.PENANAvHw2eJaoNd
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANA4fP3Uo7cgk
734Please respect copyright.PENANAb1jdScYffY
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANA3kbYuYlknn
734Please respect copyright.PENANACZMkO34BY2
As Zoey and I walked over to the front doors of the hotel, we found Collins and the others waiting outside.734Please respect copyright.PENANAgVTRsJARB5
734Please respect copyright.PENANAOctbzeiNVG
"It's about time," said Collins as we approached. "You take way too much time to get ready, Zoey."734Please respect copyright.PENANA5SQFHYynjO
734Please respect copyright.PENANA6GFtPIUmko
"Thank you, Collins," said Zoey, brushing him off. "I know I look fabulous. You don't have to tell me."734Please respect copyright.PENANA3MSYn34iwK
734Please respect copyright.PENANARw1WXl6rFx
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAvFrziibxlu
734Please respect copyright.PENANAES3JmbjRog
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAhvH1AxTnG0
734Please respect copyright.PENANASjA1UcwRJc
"Aren't they supposed to be here by now?" Mike asked. "It's already nine o'clock."734Please respect copyright.PENANAFXORe6w9N3
734Please respect copyright.PENANA1kSAnUgESr
"Don't worry, they'll be here," said Lee. She stared at the gate. "Oh, look. Here they come now."734Please respect copyright.PENANAb1epB6Hzyw
734Please respect copyright.PENANAa9dMR0hZ9K
Three black BMW SUV cars appeared at the gate, and the fans were screaming like crazy.734Please respect copyright.PENANAVE9iZw7tFh
734Please respect copyright.PENANAfkxyDnM0UA
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANA4wPVMRZoxW
734Please respect copyright.PENANAdyxxWEZ6Cv
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAao3hzldYcU
734Please respect copyright.PENANAXcet83iDaH
"Hey, where is your head this morning?"734Please respect copyright.PENANAHVydLsME5o
734Please respect copyright.PENANApOoEUANrLl
I jump in fright, and when I turn to see who it is, I furrow my eyebrows.734Please respect copyright.PENANAGKIhXbieha
734Please respect copyright.PENANAheOFWW25Wc
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAXrSsYf7XaE
734Please respect copyright.PENANAsEnVyyHYlK
"I'm not going to get a good morning from you, then?" he asked.734Please respect copyright.PENANAT4OWoKPd1C
734Please respect copyright.PENANArJsBb9zb5v
"Don't mind her, GD," said Zoey as she came to stand right beside me. "She doesn't want anything to do with you."734Please respect copyright.PENANA8s0rEFa0zF
734Please respect copyright.PENANANlQwBQ0SyS
"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."734Please respect copyright.PENANAykbNLOLKJ7
734Please respect copyright.PENANAEGJJ2vQ0Kb
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAI8pugdbTve
734Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ1UjTsL1C
"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!734Please respect copyright.PENANA6HeWQvPRBD
734Please respect copyright.PENANAU2uxVU6rGe
"I'm not doing this," I said and walked away, heading to one of the cars.734Please respect copyright.PENANAveiHhhnR0T
734Please respect copyright.PENANAeVrggVRJ9D
"Morning, Seungri," I said to him as he jumped out of one of them.734Please respect copyright.PENANApp6FoggyVh
734Please respect copyright.PENANAHH9bQCkwvZ
"Morning, my panda," he said cheerfully as he pulled me into a hug.734Please respect copyright.PENANAjAFqMoqczW
734Please respect copyright.PENANAAhF3fZ2RlE
"Panda?" I blushed, as he still had me in his arms. I then remembered that he loves pandas.734Please respect copyright.PENANAR25khtlKYD
734Please respect copyright.PENANA6gqwxWX55q
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAIvQcjxlR9h
734Please respect copyright.PENANAYh6HacVzUZ
"Let's just hope you don't get me into trouble while on tour," I said.734Please respect copyright.PENANAxnbzvhoSmE
734Please respect copyright.PENANAUNI72yyjK4
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANA3UgcSnMFbk
734Please respect copyright.PENANA0zGOMLEEfG
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?734Please respect copyright.PENANAET3pCeLM7u
734Please respect copyright.PENANAQb0habkPzh
"I know I'm trouble," he whispers, "but you're also one because you're messing with my mind right now."734Please respect copyright.PENANAukMBAgSX4C
734Please respect copyright.PENANABDvXY88cZl
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAxYmQQbVFEm
734Please respect copyright.PENANAdADwa2r52K
"Excuse me, am I interrupting?" came Taeyang.734Please respect copyright.PENANA1FatmefxeJ
734Please respect copyright.PENANA9MLWbdCdDk
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANA3t2aAmEuSj
734Please respect copyright.PENANAQyGHdQ8kWI
"You came just in time," I told him, my cheeks still blushing. "Tell me Collins didn't see that."734Please respect copyright.PENANAyDi08ibUgW
734Please respect copyright.PENANAAmiFxwKDmK
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANA7JEhsRUeGQ
734Please respect copyright.PENANA99kOB3uZMm
"Ah, come on," said Seungri. "You ruined my moment."734Please respect copyright.PENANAlJOxQBg70J
734Please respect copyright.PENANAdMGQ0fWNaq
"You could've gone somewhere more private, then," said Taeyang with a smile on his face. That made me feel even more embarrassed.734Please respect copyright.PENANAguNvpOFfiU
734Please respect copyright.PENANAZb4QF7ew1j
"Well, I'm just glad you interfered," I said as I tried to speak. Somehow, my throat had suddenly become sore.734Please respect copyright.PENANAhqW40U1aad
734Please respect copyright.PENANAfNpM2yYh23
"Okay, guys, we better get going," Collins announced. "We don't want to waste any more time."734Please respect copyright.PENANAzRkk3q8825
734Please respect copyright.PENANAnlZMe81ZKI
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAGSKq3H9qYJ
734Please respect copyright.PENANA8z1qKlkLxr
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAvgZRZ5qoow
734Please respect copyright.PENANATCrLTnKcOx
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAovwRRM9BzJ
734Please respect copyright.PENANAZAPtQN2evS
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAZITCCTzdFx
734Please respect copyright.PENANAunlkCkF1tU
"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."734Please respect copyright.PENANAJce3I6FbKD
734Please respect copyright.PENANAhBmIKmcpe6
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANA0LUWL5Ivb4
734Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7knvYZt6a
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANABCTZ5lKBAf
734Please respect copyright.PENANAoyZrK5wdLI
"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."734Please respect copyright.PENANAyLaf4MKTY5
734Please respect copyright.PENANAlvcLxwD1OW
"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!"734Please respect copyright.PENANAU7r8r3JfZl
734Please respect copyright.PENANAd06eWWDybb
"Thanks," said Mike with a crooked bad boy smile on his face. "It clearly shows that you are."734Please respect copyright.PENANAIgLfnQVwmB
734Please respect copyright.PENANArGSLDTWZGH
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANA7EYqBSWrT3
734Please respect copyright.PENANA1CueIkK2mp
"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?"734Please respect copyright.PENANAsEUA8w1b5K
734Please respect copyright.PENANADetL2FzVVy
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAjE1GrwqtXC
734Please respect copyright.PENANAdeMz2Mmy5z
"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."734Please respect copyright.PENANA2TZnWxKdXi
734Please respect copyright.PENANA6IIzJ7k0Jq
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAroYh42dAT2
734Please respect copyright.PENANAWtomblBNKY
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAspaAdkHnW2
734Please respect copyright.PENANA4rqpphQQVw
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANA7Ngq9iwLKy
734Please respect copyright.PENANAxr0VIFDavJ
Zoey, Christine, and I also took pictures with those dressed in pretty, colorful Hanboks. I wish I could have one myself.734Please respect copyright.PENANA7JIpMGi3Gx
734Please respect copyright.PENANAIEV7lpqh7l
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAemcMGMkr7G
734Please respect copyright.PENANAfrWKH6iMqe
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAzroyTD1CoO
734Please respect copyright.PENANAHeBHFsCPCc
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANA7HsuNPa3OZ
734Please respect copyright.PENANABvKjjS7m7i
"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."734Please respect copyright.PENANAYbZdFJfOAa
734Please respect copyright.PENANAlIUK8eNfkg
"All the more reason for you to delete it," I said. "Give me the phone!"734Please respect copyright.PENANAhhQikr73Ij
734Please respect copyright.PENANA6s09R1UPZ8
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAAviII08RwI
734Please respect copyright.PENANAqjr6gktUnz
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAGLclEmpWCk
734Please respect copyright.PENANAifMgRHXc9X
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAbn5yaGzLso
734Please respect copyright.PENANA1jckbkYYGW
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" I asked with my arms folded.734Please respect copyright.PENANAV1miWGas4u
734Please respect copyright.PENANAvrqb4Y5AoJ
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:734Please respect copyright.PENANAnPcVrlHuGU
734Please respect copyright.PENANA5I9gVEa084
"I want you to kiss me in front of everyone here, right now."734Please respect copyright.PENANAv0C9W35hZZ
734Please respect copyright.PENANAh4FS1WOTvW
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAClmaG1OeJ7
734Please respect copyright.PENANAhUVBNNYlfo
"You win, T.O.P." I said. "You can keep it."734Please respect copyright.PENANARO2p0JXDqq
734Please respect copyright.PENANAKSPBHQAUJn
"Aww, I was really hoping you would take up the challenge," said T.O.P., looking disappointed.734Please respect copyright.PENANAGlYYDk1Yss
734Please respect copyright.PENANA1GHLnJMCHc
"Well, you've put me in a weird position right now, and that I cannot do."734Please respect copyright.PENANAYRmExWzlas
734Please respect copyright.PENANAOd3Eh3VHDo
"If you want, we can go somewhere more private." He winked. I blushed again.734Please respect copyright.PENANAGwXdNKGQ8K
734Please respect copyright.PENANAKnzvYqCGUO
"No, thanks. Like I said, you can keep it."734Please respect copyright.PENANAUNTCNbuEJt
734Please respect copyright.PENANAY2aA6nfOm3
"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?734Please respect copyright.PENANARb1VV8tOZo
734Please respect copyright.PENANAmJmHPTz2hS
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANA5U3lIgz6RW
734Please respect copyright.PENANAS8AXR5X4eA
"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."734Please respect copyright.PENANAcrBnzvk7Zh
734Please respect copyright.PENANAKY78OSXqud
"It's nothing, Daniel," I said. "He was just joking around, that's all."734Please respect copyright.PENANA1uMPFwA4p3
734Please respect copyright.PENANAL3N78FyfjP
"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."734Please respect copyright.PENANAfJDwzswg8m
734Please respect copyright.PENANAYoDrf3ZYMM
"Let me guess, Collins found out?"734Please respect copyright.PENANAkXxVswZLeO
734Please respect copyright.PENANAmipUKWL8W1
"Yeah, you know the drill. Come on, before the fans notice that we're gone."734Please respect copyright.PENANARxtzhjmURB
734Please respect copyright.PENANAW99y3iKMo7
After Daniel and I had left the palace grounds, we found the others waiting for us outside, where the cars were packed.734Please respect copyright.PENANARaMRzPpWzz
734Please respect copyright.PENANA5OTyrjVHOM
"Sam, where were you?" Zoey asked. "I thought you were right behind us, but you weren't."734Please respect copyright.PENANA5ticwQTWsx
734Please respect copyright.PENANAf9UETPSG0u
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAU2bnlG6JrP
734Please respect copyright.PENANAw1vNcOVpKS
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANA3L69vzJ9ct
734Please respect copyright.PENANAwnQVsEeiYk
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?734Please respect copyright.PENANACn9Ytmh9hO
734Please respect copyright.PENANAmReZ6V7BEX
"Am I the only one who's feeling like this?" Christine asked as she walked beside me, also taking a look around.734Please respect copyright.PENANAAsnYhW1IzG

"What?" I asked.734Please respect copyright.PENANAfwMqbBd3T4
734Please respect copyright.PENANAsgr6sf2UNf
"Haven't you noticed? There are so many couples around, and I feel so left out."734Please respect copyright.PENANAw3or4B4IAJ
734Please respect copyright.PENANAqvr90PnY4p
"You aren't the only one," I said. I sighed as I looked at one lovely couple passing us, holding hands.734Please respect copyright.PENANAKq4Obh0Il6

"This is worse than France," said Lee. "Even I feel envious."734Please respect copyright.PENANAyNUKRDLSn5

"Argh..., love. Disgusting," said Daniel as he poked his tongue out as though he had just tasted something bitter.734Please respect copyright.PENANARs85WLts67
734Please respect copyright.PENANAs6PIqHjbcR
"Don't say that, Daniel," said Seungri. "One day, you'll know what love is and how much you really need it, right, Sam?"734Please respect copyright.PENANAfRi4jeyUhw

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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAu82DN06zgH
734Please respect copyright.PENANAnmbtziKeRb
"Seungri, you're doing it again. Stop intimidating her," said Daesung. My second guardian angel. "Your questions are really annoying sometimes."734Please respect copyright.PENANAFfPGL8Ijyp
734Please respect copyright.PENANAznAPUeDm8m
"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."734Please respect copyright.PENANAEULlqudYdu
734Please respect copyright.PENANAsjXgg7AQd9
"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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAr9M6Sppe0m
734Please respect copyright.PENANAKIywqioRdk
"I think it's high time Sam found herself a boyfriend," Zoey blurted out. "She needs a little love in her life."734Please respect copyright.PENANAwXjM9Heje5
734Please respect copyright.PENANArC4Uy2C1vV
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAVSqcEXL8hO
734Please respect copyright.PENANA1DvdFIJ8eB
"Are you seriously bringing that up now?" I asked. "That's a little personal, don't you think?"734Please respect copyright.PENANANtPpBSfz9E
734Please respect copyright.PENANAZRdR8YrP9n
"We should rather avoid it," said Taeyang.734Please respect copyright.PENANAd04oWshC7R
734Please respect copyright.PENANAS9Sdjk9X2o
"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."734Please respect copyright.PENANAJyhwfNI81e
734Please respect copyright.PENANAOzDnXbrMJ1
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAsRgGNzTUVM

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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAkyUHKthW4M
734Please respect copyright.PENANAGy0bgEEp48
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAZDmcdoFwvb
734Please respect copyright.PENANA5DZIlVXvUY
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANADV6O4AsfsG
734Please respect copyright.PENANAtZs6yw0gIv
"You can lean on my shoulder," said Daesung. "That's if you're okay with it."734Please respect copyright.PENANA7wcLHlSYtr
734Please respect copyright.PENANAyMyVVoApnA
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAIvz4rn5JjD
734Please respect copyright.PENANAA0Ich0QKQi
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAhZ5hAnq4VI
734Please respect copyright.PENANAnd3nlOA2hG
"Sam, wake up; we're already here," he said.734Please respect copyright.PENANAqfQ5chcQ2b
734Please respect copyright.PENANAhHkM1PumjA
"I'm so tired," I muttered with my eyes closed. "I don't think I can move right now."734Please respect copyright.PENANAbmiZ5rJgDw
734Please respect copyright.PENANAziHriQzwkC
"Fine, I'll help you out of the car," said Taeyang as I heard him open the door.734Please respect copyright.PENANAcreKbCj29g
734Please respect copyright.PENANATvMAi5S4qw
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.734Please respect copyright.PENANA57poGZzZ5Y
734Please respect copyright.PENANAom2tIH3SFm
"You can put me down now," I told Taeyang. He slowly and gently did so.734Please respect copyright.PENANAmSMQl8GRiF
734Please respect copyright.PENANACLaVH8tMXR
"Well, today was awesome," said Mike. "Guess it's time to go to bed."734Please respect copyright.PENANAkCqflDSVfi
734Please respect copyright.PENANAeyIKBMDYHW
"We better head up to our floor," said Collins. We've got a busy day tomorrow."734Please respect copyright.PENANA2RuyQcpr0h

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.734Please respect copyright.PENANAFBS3Rw463i
734Please respect copyright.PENANAcrHHyaULnj
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.
