The water felt like a 729Please respect copyright.PENANAYznjktzv3C
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 729Please respect copyright.PENANAGgh5gJUhPw
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 729Please respect copyright.PENANABtH7i9sMXD
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 729Please respect copyright.PENANA63wpBzJaE4
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 729Please respect copyright.PENANAL93dj52TCu
breathe. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAkVp3s4Da0t
I pushed myself upwards 729Please respect copyright.PENANAaim1IsqyRq
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of729Please respect copyright.PENANAVXbLgIlFTO
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 729Please respect copyright.PENANAzZDZWBAUUZ
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 729Please respect copyright.PENANAbUNLOIrQwa
edge.729Please respect copyright.PENANA4Qk20d0wiw
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.729Please respect copyright.PENANA9PYbT4FVcw
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.729Please respect copyright.PENANAJEQgmOOozk
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.729Please respect copyright.PENANA1gpZIdhqaW
I looked ridiculously 729Please respect copyright.PENANAtrK9GFycpD
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 729Please respect copyright.PENANAxQjt3GJP9q
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 729Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZmchWn1a8
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 729Please respect copyright.PENANASgxnmPw7X0
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 729Please respect copyright.PENANAZKtIhtCyzX
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.729Please respect copyright.PENANAuFZzzDFZEE
I looked around me and 729Please respect copyright.PENANA3CpOwKYPB9
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 729Please respect copyright.PENANAVYiKqHEFKq
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 729Please respect copyright.PENANAbceiqqbxFX
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 729Please respect copyright.PENANAjXes48Fipy
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.729Please respect copyright.PENANACp9NMV4IOQ
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."729Please respect copyright.PENANAK0qHUlH4eK
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."729Please respect copyright.PENANAi7MMcEvmIE
I heard Zoey and the 729Please respect copyright.PENANAfqEg6hapMK
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on729Please respect copyright.PENANAQZeeWsyjXO
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.729Please respect copyright.PENANAGVooGE7hyp
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAmIKNpERbk5
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's729Please respect copyright.PENANAoUxx2QHICE
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 729Please respect copyright.PENANA20WaGjSThB
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."729Please respect copyright.PENANA8roWEfOri2
"I already told you, I'm729Please respect copyright.PENANAynuaCtHcGi
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I729Please respect copyright.PENANA8JAZaroGXF
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 729Please respect copyright.PENANA084zZFB3Hd
from anyone.729Please respect copyright.PENANA0uz7m7BBaH
I made my way towards GD729Please respect copyright.PENANAmu3Nlg61li
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what729Please respect copyright.PENANAdjQXIm96IJ
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 729Please respect copyright.PENANA4ri4c6gIJ2
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.729Please respect copyright.PENANAcp8P8MwHNo
"Oh, man, Sam," said 729Please respect copyright.PENANAPsGoVWWZcP
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 729Please respect copyright.PENANABXF1bIS1Um
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 729Please respect copyright.PENANAml9Ufm342P
game. Hope you didn't mind."729Please respect copyright.PENANADHySXwpNI9
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."729Please respect copyright.PENANAImSAUj1SCq
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."729Please respect copyright.PENANAZbJtGe75BL
"I told you, our 729Please respect copyright.PENANAWCzMt7hT0M
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 729Please respect copyright.PENANA7XbLaLKaAt
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 729Please respect copyright.PENANATtPvLKcmKh
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 729Please respect copyright.PENANAg90vt5Fzlx
Daesung.729Please respect copyright.PENANA2a3alr2De8
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.729Please respect copyright.PENANAoQ86e5EFhF
I dialled Lee's number 729Please respect copyright.PENANABohzJu25qt
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 729Please respect copyright.PENANALZmNO0SyTz
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAFXtdbi0B1d
They would know soon enough.729Please respect copyright.PENANAeSAhpp1tu7
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.729Please respect copyright.PENANAZdaTxFinsJ
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.729Please respect copyright.PENANAfwCm31pZAX
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAEbb0lwzo16
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAbS7pioQGRc
"No, not yet. But you 729Please respect copyright.PENANAFVwqSBz2Nu
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And729Please respect copyright.PENANAqygVUP0F7X
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."729Please respect copyright.PENANAa4AGISDtua
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."729Please respect copyright.PENANA1kOBqShAqp
"Okay, I'll be waiting."729Please respect copyright.PENANA3TogaJLw4g
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.729Please respect copyright.PENANAWfRgFFvmhc
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAMoitxbemhX
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."729Please respect copyright.PENANAurCfSIcuJG
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAHpzkd9PdZf
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."729Please respect copyright.PENANAEGtdWNm9Ts
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.729Please respect copyright.PENANAUTavmbFE7N
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."729Please respect copyright.PENANAyaR2Ysdjfx
I shook my head. I was 729Please respect copyright.PENANAGrCYlK8VzQ
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 729Please respect copyright.PENANAPAUmyIHOpS
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 729Please respect copyright.PENANApIDjlY8qxn
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.729Please respect copyright.PENANA4HVDDaVGsx
After walking a few feet729Please respect copyright.PENANAfFJBoW8sjZ
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 729Please respect copyright.PENANAJR48F0KpPm
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was729Please respect copyright.PENANAdbsu79Jp3j
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 729Please respect copyright.PENANASen1tdmzy7
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.729Please respect copyright.PENANAm8S62lwdeO
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAXPy8iFeIRQ
None of them answered as729Please respect copyright.PENANAWtXCGYJrCa
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 729Please respect copyright.PENANAtliNK1AKaE
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 729Please respect copyright.PENANAVsxZ8Zpbsi
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.729Please respect copyright.PENANAeBbInYiRf3
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.729Please respect copyright.PENANAqn0VUOxtWe
"I wasn't going to say 729Please respect copyright.PENANAnbHNchwex8
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing729Please respect copyright.PENANAoAcJqoZ3fD
you would want to hear from me is advice."729Please respect copyright.PENANAhJwq317oEl
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAcuALS0J1CR
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.729Please respect copyright.PENANAyy0YcI1Ll1
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."729Please respect copyright.PENANArhVTGTi9I0
"I'm still upset, though."729Please respect copyright.PENANAVzS6plp0Pm
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."729Please respect copyright.PENANAjZXyfIxtT8
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."729Please respect copyright.PENANAUn9gcs7iKq
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."729Please respect copyright.PENANApj8mIjvEnG
I gave TOP an assuring 729Please respect copyright.PENANA8THPBZtcwB
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way729Please respect copyright.PENANAG4s2kFEQf0
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 729Please respect copyright.PENANA6dwCBvk6lk
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I729Please respect copyright.PENANAoqdY4PXenC
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't729Please respect copyright.PENANAknI59Z4UHi
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 729Please respect copyright.PENANAdwR6IUuUQs
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.729Please respect copyright.PENANA8R4GWxOT6Q
We all found ourselves 729Please respect copyright.PENANATVImFf6b0B
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins729Please respect copyright.PENANApJYNvfQLAO
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 729Please respect copyright.PENANASIY3yIxg0U
were waiting for me. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAkRcdbJoSZI
"Hey, Sam, you don't 729Please respect copyright.PENANA2CNfFUkZwN
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 729Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ4GDzMjlK
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.729Please respect copyright.PENANAduTwcNV7mk
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."729Please respect copyright.PENANATis169eN7Q
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 729Please respect copyright.PENANAvjr7H7RRkD
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 729Please respect copyright.PENANA9AoqQx6zQM
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch729Please respect copyright.PENANAK2hqj5WqcP
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 729Please respect copyright.PENANAJpM5TUB0xf
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.729Please respect copyright.PENANAlmobBTfFmx
I had my eyes closed 729Please respect copyright.PENANA7AwUpw5tPX
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found729Please respect copyright.PENANANMi8pR2cGy
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.729Please respect copyright.PENANATcIiQhDf0y
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."729Please respect copyright.PENANASVcXubpm3I
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.729Please respect copyright.PENANAWHVO9okvnu
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."729Please respect copyright.PENANA1YBqmmnLvE
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."729Please respect copyright.PENANA1GLZiXp8lb
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."729Please respect copyright.PENANAMeahvA5rW6
Taeyang led me to his 729Please respect copyright.PENANAXBdGD0boUL
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 729Please respect copyright.PENANArW0DLStNmP
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 729Please respect copyright.PENANAK7MUoXnH6N
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.729Please respect copyright.PENANA7dY2IUbDQ4
In about thirty minutes,729Please respect copyright.PENANAYV68hfyLhQ
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 729Please respect copyright.PENANAxRNFWYXtfy
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 729Please respect copyright.PENANAvN4jB5JZlW
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 729Please respect copyright.PENANAYq1jiXQbev
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 729Please respect copyright.PENANAcjP2quRxdI
appeared out of the elevator.729Please respect copyright.PENANAez8XCOqW8I
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"729Please respect copyright.PENANA2diH0n4Wvv
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.729Please respect copyright.PENANAYocEkPIXE9
Lee who stood behind 729Please respect copyright.PENANAnEhP3yUeDr
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 729Please respect copyright.PENANA3EiElHsj7Z
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 729Please respect copyright.PENANAGrjuE9UKsi
other things in mind.729Please respect copyright.PENANAImzEMl1Hwl
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAFqPlsSMkr1
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 729Please respect copyright.PENANAXVDHs97M1n
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 729Please respect copyright.PENANA250MDjf49R
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.729Please respect copyright.PENANAuJ9sjNF8Eo
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAEdjJ9XFM3i
"We didn't just go there to have fun," I said, with my head down. "If there's anyone to blame for all this, it's me."729Please respect copyright.PENANAWIGKuYDzOd
There was an awkward 729Please respect copyright.PENANAZAizPqirVf
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,729Please respect copyright.PENANAZJa4d63FYn
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.729Please respect copyright.PENANALHihjevPpK
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAoF8pzd7lGR
"Well, I hear the press 729Please respect copyright.PENANAkuDp3C7nYO
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon729Please respect copyright.PENANA8aU2ss3r3j
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."729Please respect copyright.PENANAHLXZC3d2Ti
"That won't be 729Please respect copyright.PENANAsSVxs7rBmp
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 729Please respect copyright.PENANAVt4X8KGWBm
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to729Please respect copyright.PENANAC9HvgS0LfT
go to the press looking all wet."729Please respect copyright.PENANAYVygBTJiAH
I breathed out a sigh of729Please respect copyright.PENANA0rBe2770Qn
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 729Please respect copyright.PENANARDBrrPbJzI
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.729Please respect copyright.PENANAOh9kfH5GNB
"In the meantime, you go729Please respect copyright.PENANAr3qUK3xPHa
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 729Please respect copyright.PENANA3f9bj07EDv
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."729Please respect copyright.PENANAaw4vKyavu7
I nodded my head in 729Please respect copyright.PENANAOvlxu3qYc5
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 729Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ7pIZ3Orl
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.729Please respect copyright.PENANAJsKU6L58cu
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.729Please respect copyright.PENANAC1WuLYcP2P
"Alright," I said 729Please respect copyright.PENANA8CapmU3E4j
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 729Please respect copyright.PENANAhg7qKl5w8W
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like729Please respect copyright.PENANAogC4HqsKPa
I was only making things worse.729Please respect copyright.PENANA9zSp9qa3Kl
Before I turned to leave729Please respect copyright.PENANAEIA2tqhBiX
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 729Please respect copyright.PENANAz1cfgu6onx
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 729Please respect copyright.PENANALD1j1UUP9H
one.729Please respect copyright.PENANAlx6PLCRFFd
***729Please respect copyright.PENANAUQUxehAgu5
I sat on the couch all 729Please respect copyright.PENANAqcJ9JPFdqJ
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued729Please respect copyright.PENANAxsXsSU9Fev
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"729Please respect copyright.PENANAMQP5wOWBF9
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAYRuwrIbNQL
I had a box of paper 729Please respect copyright.PENANACGYwuzmkFj
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my729Please respect copyright.PENANAoAnguH3WAA
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 729Please respect copyright.PENANAHerWGasdjN
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.729Please respect copyright.PENANAyWbY5vYGO1
I continued watching the729Please respect copyright.PENANAnQ2Lsk3oPG
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 729Please respect copyright.PENANA4bCycWkNJn
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.729Please respect copyright.PENANAn4rFfjFGrD
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.729Please respect copyright.PENANAjncqhriI5X
"Never better," I said, 729Please respect copyright.PENANABhbWVyCNLD
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 729Please respect copyright.PENANAxcPdG5F27F
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."729Please respect copyright.PENANAm0OmlCP0ig
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.729Please respect copyright.PENANAR5en33RfSr
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.729Please respect copyright.PENANASMnW3nkmD1
"Ya, I'm actually enjoying it," I said as I put in a spoonful of chicken soup in my mouth. Mmm, it was so tasty.729Please respect copyright.PENANA7f23wUdQaI
"And the others?" 729Please respect copyright.PENANABISquI7I6b
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.729Please respect copyright.PENANAyUjyFcRGuR
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.729Please respect copyright.PENANAGt0MVbYQ8L
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAUcnyLPNv4X
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.729Please respect copyright.PENANAvwuc8KgNv2
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.729Please respect copyright.PENANAET9K85BfO4
"You don't know or you are?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAsQVoQnmpSL
I shrugged my shoulders. To be completely honest, I am still mad, but then again, I felt like I wasn't and that felt confusing.729Please respect copyright.PENANAdN6cURvlWY
"I don't know, Tae," I 729Please respect copyright.PENANARNUOeTcJ0K
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 729Please respect copyright.PENANAgZLVcjKGbA
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 729Please respect copyright.PENANAflVY1FAXRu
forget all that happened yesterday."729Please respect copyright.PENANAoKc1DP9wIB
"Ya, I understand. They 729Please respect copyright.PENANAIPHB4bgouN
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 729Please respect copyright.PENANABC2jaPcHqN
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were729Please respect copyright.PENANA4gjcAy0dtU
going to get."729Please respect copyright.PENANA1kSSIA14RA
I looked on at Taeyang 729Please respect copyright.PENANAH1YZa7VvxY
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 729Please respect copyright.PENANAIXWc24fESa
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 729Please respect copyright.PENANABzSXlQwcuI
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 729Please respect copyright.PENANAp9OZEot0CV
who was as tough as nails.729Please respect copyright.PENANAiDDFNGK7Ma
Last night, I took the 729Please respect copyright.PENANA8PzoGvijIS
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 729Please respect copyright.PENANAklzYDNQYTY
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 729Please respect copyright.PENANA0y2cI5ixPb
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 729Please respect copyright.PENANAcfLysWVSjF
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAl3wT5kwekP
Apparently, the managers729Please respect copyright.PENANAUjAQH00EKW
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 729Please respect copyright.PENANA8LpAv5Guuz
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought729Please respect copyright.PENANAHBCNGpVwKh
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 729Please respect copyright.PENANASJsngMyHik
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 729Please respect copyright.PENANAj8mkQzCnoh
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 729Please respect copyright.PENANACanzcd1tmj
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 729Please respect copyright.PENANA65FJGYndHG
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 729Please respect copyright.PENANA5dIhu4d1A4
and the reporters.729Please respect copyright.PENANAt9TV7RnKGF
After my confrontation 729Please respect copyright.PENANAcKHMHMUL2h
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I729Please respect copyright.PENANA1oKKSpbk3a
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,729Please respect copyright.PENANA5VgdUueblV
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.729Please respect copyright.PENANAMFkIoNTVEf
"Huh, I guess am still upset," I said, as I took in another spoon of soup in my mouth. "Especially after what GD did to me."729Please respect copyright.PENANAI4HlYcPOtn
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.729Please respect copyright.PENANAEmI0uv2nex
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."729Please respect copyright.PENANAxTpLvzXwtf
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."729Please respect copyright.PENANAif4ppaTs1n
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."729Please respect copyright.PENANAwIV3p3cdFD
"Have you tried talking to GD?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAxbzZBO1nRY
"To be honest, I haven't729Please respect copyright.PENANAQFxaavGRd1
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 729Please respect copyright.PENANA0yblEVAmgV
slap him in the face if I see him."729Please respect copyright.PENANA39boV3WPYX
"I don't doubt that."729Please respect copyright.PENANAcnLk8Bf6Gn
"And thank goodness my 729Please respect copyright.PENANAUjTF822jLZ
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 729Please respect copyright.PENANA7vyYF0jTuX
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I729Please respect copyright.PENANAViV0iUfl5u
want to do is watch some TV."729Please respect copyright.PENANAVAhejYx9hz
I quickly drank my 729Please respect copyright.PENANAmIN8j2fSlF
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 729Please respect copyright.PENANAYn3jAzhoCd
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 729Please respect copyright.PENANAGpzsWf1c8P
to.729Please respect copyright.PENANAqCy1TToxV3
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.729Please respect copyright.PENANAX5kwmKG8y0
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.729Please respect copyright.PENANAxkMN5emwp4
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"729Please respect copyright.PENANA0cpDW86hbK
"Nope."729Please respect copyright.PENANAN4rBccWknc
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.729Please respect copyright.PENANAIvA3sLLuMV
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANA700XZ1wm4O
Taeyang didn't say 729Please respect copyright.PENANAG9rkuQ0Ei5
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened729Please respect copyright.PENANAWKKc4BNLup
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."729Please respect copyright.PENANAUA7u51itEE
"I know you fought or 729Please respect copyright.PENANATWwipIt0ps
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAE5zjblLvGs
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."729Please respect copyright.PENANAUj43ysGJc9
I noticed Taeyang smile 729Please respect copyright.PENANArKiaCl1tBH
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 729Please respect copyright.PENANAp7vZCH7k4Z
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 729Please respect copyright.PENANAx8x0owjtXq
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.729Please respect copyright.PENANAEmsmHgs4kT
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.729Please respect copyright.PENANAbYEeqOD27F
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."729Please respect copyright.PENANAHvC6wY7gRY
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?729Please respect copyright.PENANAoYGC5A0cNA
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.729Please respect copyright.PENANAq9SbRz6LWm
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."729Please respect copyright.PENANAJs1woVAqdp
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."729Please respect copyright.PENANAeYQajNqARj
Before I could finish my729Please respect copyright.PENANAAkKbYZQwo0
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 729Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vj6scywcn
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.729Please respect copyright.PENANA4lz8w4Yy7z
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.729Please respect copyright.PENANAb5SWdd4AxP
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.729Please respect copyright.PENANA6LReCm6dTt
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."729Please respect copyright.PENANASeOTrHyqnC
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."729Please respect copyright.PENANAsU1FMufkDz
"Yep, cheers to that." 729Please respect copyright.PENANAhTMCZSijp9
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAnarEIAZPDQ
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.729Please respect copyright.PENANAEMVl9S2bIk
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"729Please respect copyright.PENANA78dvDgrgWR
"We can't work on it without you," said Taeyang. "You and G-Dragon decided that the both of you would work on it together."729Please respect copyright.PENANAwC0C51InyQ
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."729Please respect copyright.PENANAO6Dvn2t4jS
"Wow, that sounds personal."729Please respect copyright.PENANAPVLzvNcaeH
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."729Please respect copyright.PENANApvNvrw9eTj
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAlwoTWt4RIM
"I think I've a better 729Please respect copyright.PENANAmpHeZfpH5s
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 729Please respect copyright.PENANAXnXXKaGnTz
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 729Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zm4RWYatD
lyrics. It's better that way."729Please respect copyright.PENANARQ0siW4mpq
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAw9Bg3ycPZ0
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."729Please respect copyright.PENANAGABmBnudw6
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."729Please respect copyright.PENANAozsAQQB2F5
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."729Please respect copyright.PENANAKuQ42Yz5ml
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."729Please respect copyright.PENANAeYZWOOZ5xv
"Haha, good point."729Please respect copyright.PENANATLa7tnqloy
Taeyang and I continued 729Please respect copyright.PENANAGUuooOZcNc
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 729Please respect copyright.PENANAkrazyjnPzK
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 729Please respect copyright.PENANAMnpUm5VmBq
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we729Please respect copyright.PENANA5mSZIIh2Kk
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 729Please respect copyright.PENANA4d7ND2063K
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 729Please respect copyright.PENANAPD2mWjzsPQ
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 729Please respect copyright.PENANADVI8fkzNJK
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 729Please respect copyright.PENANAR3nyqgDhwc
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.729Please respect copyright.PENANAzSAkgasEKP
While the two of us were729Please respect copyright.PENANAYwSvdeK7pu
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,729Please respect copyright.PENANArezyHz8bSW
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAytwkFPFuaW
I quickly went over to 729Please respect copyright.PENANACvtoZAkEub
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was729Please respect copyright.PENANAkXr8hsssoF
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung729Please respect copyright.PENANALMUeB6jBuK
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could729Please respect copyright.PENANAvjXICudj39
come up and I put the receiver down.729Please respect copyright.PENANASoL4jgdtz3
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."729Please respect copyright.PENANAae7K9DJlpd
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."729Please respect copyright.PENANAhiK4CBknZB
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."729Please respect copyright.PENANATDC0GotO37
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.729Please respect copyright.PENANAhbqFjgUVJQ
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.729Please respect copyright.PENANADCCLEiSmAB
"Eww, that pillow 729Please respect copyright.PENANArjUmxMgYpr
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 729Please respect copyright.PENANAnPfS1T0I8E
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.729Please respect copyright.PENANAJh1clAPWEO
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.729Please respect copyright.PENANAnSFoyiPzPa
A few seconds later, we 729Please respect copyright.PENANA25qY6EV0sZ
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 729Please respect copyright.PENANAmz4Xz5TKFu
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 729Please respect copyright.PENANAH35hHrXmUg
holding a box of chocolates.729Please respect copyright.PENANAGXVGFydsym
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.729Please respect copyright.PENANAW3HdIM8OdP
"Ah, no, the panda is a 729Please respect copyright.PENANAxaUsLaaB8Y
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 729Please respect copyright.PENANAhiG4VcTC62
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 729Please respect copyright.PENANABhBJJTXPmn
same time.729Please respect copyright.PENANAHe8djDO7qI
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."729Please respect copyright.PENANAUzPGq73Sv6
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.729Please respect copyright.PENANA8oBXBjYFDu
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAAyIYg4wEBG
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."729Please respect copyright.PENANA4sTDygJ2QJ
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.729Please respect copyright.PENANA0STpmrH4DU
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.729Please respect copyright.PENANAODbXFkEXQE
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."729Please respect copyright.PENANABpCqu4bNep
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.729Please respect copyright.PENANAmC68JLxoGq
"For goodness sake, I 729Please respect copyright.PENANA9thGyWdxhW
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 729Please respect copyright.PENANAOIN9q2OKWp
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 729Please respect copyright.PENANAsWjLdp5Alj
scared with me."729Please respect copyright.PENANAg74yaagyK3
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.729Please respect copyright.PENANADUudZmrok1
I took the panda in my 729Please respect copyright.PENANAsZVuKLA0Ch
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 729Please respect copyright.PENANAinCYOoGkhN
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 729Please respect copyright.PENANAeaoSvcajfK
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 729Please respect copyright.PENANApRrYGJvlxb
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.729Please respect copyright.PENANAywq6Myu6yV
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."729Please respect copyright.PENANA60dLCB6duR
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."729Please respect copyright.PENANA8uu8BgEaUI
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"729Please respect copyright.PENANA4ftR8qOXwh
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.729Please respect copyright.PENANAxHYRKmLIjU
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."729Please respect copyright.PENANAGOEtsDSOeE
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I729Please respect copyright.PENANAMGOgLL0TJY
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 729Please respect copyright.PENANAvx8ZEbffvP
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 729Please respect copyright.PENANAUgUH9Y7TyR
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."729Please respect copyright.PENANAEkeaOfiDUF
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."729Please respect copyright.PENANAJFZahGtSJM
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."729Please respect copyright.PENANAm8pEPifvXS
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.729Please respect copyright.PENANA5lsA01aV6m
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."729Please respect copyright.PENANALUZEYnMRxy
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.729Please respect copyright.PENANA3Sz1H89nQX
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."729Please respect copyright.PENANAe8ry6tAakj
"Ya, I do."729Please respect copyright.PENANAuwAylChL09
While the four of us 729Please respect copyright.PENANANeh6lJLrAh
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 729Please respect copyright.PENANAy6TbLfvcix
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 729Please respect copyright.PENANAjRrNyXtZH7
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 729Please respect copyright.PENANAZXbVPbRIpi
said:729Please respect copyright.PENANAWVETz9i85t
"Hey, Zoey." 729Please respect copyright.PENANASCmDCqa90w
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAlxP6YSLxeI
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."729Please respect copyright.PENANAUXa0WRoopi
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.729Please respect copyright.PENANAE9dg5C0n1c
"It's good you came to 729Please respect copyright.PENANAjuDAaq9RIm
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 729Please respect copyright.PENANAi8GVoABH0W
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 729Please respect copyright.PENANADFtV13hoC8
couch.729Please respect copyright.PENANAvkim2o0uJp
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"729Please respect copyright.PENANA4LcqbwJNu4
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"729Please respect copyright.PENANAO3IJiKPX1n
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAO54aigeHu4
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 729Please respect copyright.PENANArKgpwHgiwv
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.729Please respect copyright.PENANAjZhAVCgpxB
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.729Please respect copyright.PENANAKt7h46bOtv
I tugged at my panda's 729Please respect copyright.PENANA6OmEeEKOJP
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it729Please respect copyright.PENANAiumA0TTRyP
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking729Please respect copyright.PENANAERLZlbEU4L
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.729Please respect copyright.PENANA4oJb9sQ1eW
The Toxins came back to 729Please respect copyright.PENANA51s267kBhg
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held729Please respect copyright.PENANAYLo43hq40x
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine729Please respect copyright.PENANAxn55OEjila
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.729Please respect copyright.PENANAJp7jRmSVMM
For a moment, no one 729Please respect copyright.PENANAFza0rNv2ww
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 729Please respect copyright.PENANAiJ5OmS8g11
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.729Please respect copyright.PENANA1yBlKNDlHM
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.729Please respect copyright.PENANALGKALtHSd1
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAMg5sJA71pa
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.729Please respect copyright.PENANAjG5SoFCFdI
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."729Please respect copyright.PENANAdJcx1fjjP7
I stared up at the 729Please respect copyright.PENANAsSbgbHrEPB
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 729Please respect copyright.PENANA5strmm7Ycj
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.729Please respect copyright.PENANAtyaxVFtVgX
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."729Please respect copyright.PENANA3mgJzDuPNi
When Zoey tried to reach729Please respect copyright.PENANAflJw0fq9sm
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 729Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ4uOFcGqk
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.729Please respect copyright.PENANAaXv5DNoLlx
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.729Please respect copyright.PENANAv8if3wDIvo
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.729Please respect copyright.PENANAO1cWqo9QT5
Zoey looked hurt with 729Please respect copyright.PENANA1iAmLYsiqV
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 729Please respect copyright.PENANAY3z4urr0jc
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.729Please respect copyright.PENANANHs4ik5wxi
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAsX4KVM0nZj
I didn't answer as I put729Please respect copyright.PENANAubpbU7WeVs
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I729Please respect copyright.PENANAHywO4E7rao
was still mad, especially at Zoey.729Please respect copyright.PENANAy0KZReseQE
"I know it's a little 729Please respect copyright.PENANAY5v3LK5lbl
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 729Please respect copyright.PENANAXo1XAr9HZm
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 729Please respect copyright.PENANAT7BnnkLhQA
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 729Please respect copyright.PENANAdNjWTmmCv8
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAEZiASI5u2J
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 729Please respect copyright.PENANAv0kIPZXNgA
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."729Please respect copyright.PENANA7LLhXu8pOj
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.729Please respect copyright.PENANA5T6ZvkDwYH
"I don't like it when 729Please respect copyright.PENANAniOxZo7Y0V
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 729Please respect copyright.PENANA3iBKQcFhqd
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 729Please respect copyright.PENANAZuHXHqSNHr
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 729Please respect copyright.PENANAMhBbNJYyrJ
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 729Please respect copyright.PENANAReoYw5TJOk
sorry, Sam."729Please respect copyright.PENANAfaVtThxG7m
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."729Please respect copyright.PENANAm1qkaM7Fk5
"I'm sorry too," said 729Please respect copyright.PENANAvRcIswKrLI
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 729Please respect copyright.PENANAFPgQzpTKBU
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 729Please respect copyright.PENANAbCi5dNhe2j
for you to talk to us again."729Please respect copyright.PENANAE2AMTNJWFO
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 729Please respect copyright.PENANAWELeLOBqxM
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 729Please respect copyright.PENANA5YJ3kUraWN
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 729Please respect copyright.PENANAPoE0TAG8xA
leader."729Please respect copyright.PENANADgir3BLmuG
I still didn't say a 729Please respect copyright.PENANAO1TMp13iye
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 729Please respect copyright.PENANARFU9PNbP2U
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 729Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4JvQlNJDj
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 729Please respect copyright.PENANAtfgUtljRDN
them despite the awful things they put me through.729Please respect copyright.PENANAiislfdG9Cd
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAxuIE8Rzh7r
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."729Please respect copyright.PENANAv9b6tjcU7T
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.729Please respect copyright.PENANAcN8oyTx94X
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.729Please respect copyright.PENANAb8kaEkkYzr
"I'm mad and pretty much729Please respect copyright.PENANAm9WqVxHIn4
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 729Please respect copyright.PENANAbfD3dUEfZC
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."729Please respect copyright.PENANAO7SCp94Ud9
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAGEqCq3Qw05
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."729Please respect copyright.PENANAdw7ym6ATLv
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.729Please respect copyright.PENANAgGSobFQEon
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 729Please respect copyright.PENANAQNaUFMUlJD
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 729Please respect copyright.PENANA8pm5geWD3F
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."729Please respect copyright.PENANAXfQ8xABxo0
"Ah, you! Always acting 729Please respect copyright.PENANATMJ42L8ztL
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 729Please respect copyright.PENANA6CF5Lw1kS7
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 729Please respect copyright.PENANAHFqTegF6qJ
catch it anyway."729Please respect copyright.PENANA0Efx83s039
Christine, Daniel and 729Please respect copyright.PENANAugafsa2BA1
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAkHDgGuEYkM
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 729Please respect copyright.PENANAAW5klSmznt
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.729Please respect copyright.PENANAVSk969Idgx
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.729Please respect copyright.PENANAUHLgbvrOXe
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.729Please respect copyright.PENANAMCQKbYnvQ7
"Ya, I'm glad we did," I said, as I felt my nose twitch. "Can you guys please stop hugging me, I'm about to...."729Please respect copyright.PENANA0q3U9G7sv8
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.729Please respect copyright.PENANAnoJha4KGmw
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."729Please respect copyright.PENANAzbeRH6vD78
"Don't worry, you won't 729Please respect copyright.PENANAuJHitNUaQb
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 729Please respect copyright.PENANAacAKv3Fmfd
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.729Please respect copyright.PENANAeKSIKmxV6I
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.729Please respect copyright.PENANADJFumQR3KV
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.729Please respect copyright.PENANABSXPujLCiC
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAurAPsPsAEC
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."729Please respect copyright.PENANAr0LHfMoI2X
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.729Please respect copyright.PENANAKeGTH9GsrM
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 729Please respect copyright.PENANA5tBsEJNdbq
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAC6GxWvrPBj
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."729Please respect copyright.PENANAdacFZMjUs5
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.729Please respect copyright.PENANAkk8q383yG5
At that moment, I had 729Please respect copyright.PENANAlXEWB9JgD0
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.729Please respect copyright.PENANANVJVG4x3fY
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.729Please respect copyright.PENANAXpXE2chlGB
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAUnWKyPpl9n
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.729Please respect copyright.PENANAAvoE3DW5qN
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."729Please respect copyright.PENANATR3VCPQ0yt
Zoey got the box of 729Please respect copyright.PENANAdCKABrbKfk
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 729Please respect copyright.PENANAlxgFFaav7X
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.729Please respect copyright.PENANAuE6rVRCSlj
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.729Please respect copyright.PENANAACBNfLfScq
I was in the passage as I729Please respect copyright.PENANAf2GpSnG6H7
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 729Please respect copyright.PENANA2hHrNDJDch
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed729Please respect copyright.PENANAJFnHVDFSiA
in what felt like sadness.729Please respect copyright.PENANAqzyzxTRS9J
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.729Please respect copyright.PENANANRYtJtS5KW
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."729Please respect copyright.PENANAAWJsDSYe0d
I heard his footsteps 729Please respect copyright.PENANA0h082WUQIX
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 729Please respect copyright.PENANAcn7WQJ0mrb
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.729Please respect copyright.PENANAXWq78paxqw
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAtRxt5kRG2P
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAXy2SICQl40
"Are we really do this right now?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAeOFjyXcGpn
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 729Please respect copyright.PENANAroTneDHn0n
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.729Please respect copyright.PENANAfa9g1zraXY
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAZ78LoNyFis
"Nope." 729Please respect copyright.PENANAaJYVAlqlBq
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."729Please respect copyright.PENANAjVBUiRZdpj
My eyes almost felt like729Please respect copyright.PENANAOTYaImUw1g
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 729Please respect copyright.PENANA5thqsGWyuC
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.729Please respect copyright.PENANAkGWBBSWbhc
I turned to look at him 729Please respect copyright.PENANArt3jdI6ANV
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 729Please respect copyright.PENANAsakyse5GhY
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.729Please respect copyright.PENANA7eYcYOKIaL
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.729Please respect copyright.PENANANGgQa3RpSN
"That you're surrounded 729Please respect copyright.PENANARgCALYMvkJ
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 729Please respect copyright.PENANAOZhNuwEVoF
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 729Please respect copyright.PENANA9AROM8rxdA
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."729Please respect copyright.PENANAXHPjtXgPHh
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 729Please respect copyright.PENANAsM6QL9xg2t
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."729Please respect copyright.PENANAEXjCNySL9L
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAoYEX51kQJl
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."729Please respect copyright.PENANAEmlT1BDHtq
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."729Please respect copyright.PENANArPlYgbd07x
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"729Please respect copyright.PENANACbVTlwUeYH
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."729Please respect copyright.PENANA6SY2k5Njxl
Apparently, I couldn't 729Please respect copyright.PENANAY8mDwzJ0YD
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 729Please respect copyright.PENANAOo9GcSvztP
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 729Please respect copyright.PENANATziLNOsaJh
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 729Please respect copyright.PENANAQqPK9h5LNL
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 729Please respect copyright.PENANAOzdtGlO0Cp
death.729Please respect copyright.PENANAgLXOrTfJux
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.729Please respect copyright.PENANAMaO7JjxjkZ
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."729Please respect copyright.PENANABeXRt8MFmQ
Taeyang folded his arms 729Please respect copyright.PENANAyvmVjmalJn
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think729Please respect copyright.PENANAznY1I45BuU
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."729Please respect copyright.PENANAVprPS5Ol6r
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.729Please respect copyright.PENANAYGhjNb8Ffw
"You're may think you're729Please respect copyright.PENANAdHAuGE6pYE
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 729Please respect copyright.PENANAxWRuH6uqBR
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 729Please respect copyright.PENANAGmRe1XZiY4
but feeling hurt."729Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4MGXichgb
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.729Please respect copyright.PENANAJjxh83JgFs
"But I wouldn't feel 729Please respect copyright.PENANAbVlZeS8FS2
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 729Please respect copyright.PENANAiwnhmpJa7u
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 729Please respect copyright.PENANAWLp1r7QAa8
at Taeyang.729Please respect copyright.PENANAJEGIOoYB22
Taeyang gave me that 729Please respect copyright.PENANAOVrqlEuh3w
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 729Please respect copyright.PENANA4uBrQb6JEQ
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 729Please respect copyright.PENANAZjoC4GBASL
while in return, he nodded.729Please respect copyright.PENANAneyH8PYOTO
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 729Please respect copyright.PENANASRZbB5b00G
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."729Please respect copyright.PENANA0JUF25TbyC
I didn't say a word as I729Please respect copyright.PENANA5oPShRUxlK
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my729Please respect copyright.PENANASuJzMvgaos
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 729Please respect copyright.PENANABUZAy7x0P5
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 729Please respect copyright.PENANAi8ZvoOFRd1
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.729Please respect copyright.PENANAKLu1EJnxSF
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."729Please respect copyright.PENANAkIOIuN3mZh
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."729Please respect copyright.PENANAJv7G59wzzI
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."729Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5QdhkfLoI
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAwyPpwWc2BE
If there was ever a way I729Please respect copyright.PENANA2LYuMukAlw
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 729Please respect copyright.PENANAgiGyMNC4hn
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 729Please respect copyright.PENANAzXOwxrDj6A
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.729Please respect copyright.PENANARPPSVS0FEl
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAtBRZ8LzZdM
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAcZ9UwIk1gf
When I came out, I still found Taeyang where I had left him and the two of us went to join the others entering the elevator.729Please respect copyright.PENANA3Xm9Xpu2fZ
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.729Please respect copyright.PENANAbQA6RfaXns
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAFGVK9GYyNE
"Well, I'm just asking,"729Please respect copyright.PENANAYYzJcZZ7wj
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,729Please respect copyright.PENANA6isPaYSmbM
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."729Please respect copyright.PENANAG00541S9L3
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.729Please respect copyright.PENANAvigWgxSyfE
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.729Please respect copyright.PENANAdXJZcap93E
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.729Please respect copyright.PENANA4zluhP662S
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.729Please respect copyright.PENANAuIw42gUZsw
I pressed the button 729Please respect copyright.PENANAPYTiLQPol4
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 729Please respect copyright.PENANAevJyLA3ToV
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 729Please respect copyright.PENANARKJrEg2cmM
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.729Please respect copyright.PENANAJHZ2g0fW4Z
We went to the main 729Please respect copyright.PENANAs1efhc6LT6
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for729Please respect copyright.PENANA5L0Vq0aOcN
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 729Please respect copyright.PENANAtUYutCbvJM
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.729Please respect copyright.PENANAXOCLXOODsO
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.729Please respect copyright.PENANAA3a2Mg4900
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAftnp6gEFM8
"To be honest, we just 729Please respect copyright.PENANAkJDiDEDftw
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 729Please respect copyright.PENANA13HyvSO7ca
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."729Please respect copyright.PENANAf9WQcEa5xJ
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.729Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZtmPDWtnF
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.729Please respect copyright.PENANAG3H1mFTM4x
We all got to the table and before I could pull out my chair, Taeyang pulled the chair out for me and I glady sat.729Please respect copyright.PENANA1gJFO9BUZX
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.729Please respect copyright.PENANAn0VD1SWsP6
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.729Please respect copyright.PENANADSFCOofqki
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.729Please respect copyright.PENANAfJmR2EMvMT
"Nah, I don't think so,"729Please respect copyright.PENANAKA5TP2QQ6X
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so729Please respect copyright.PENANAGIsGOm9egg
he would be treating me like that."729Please respect copyright.PENANAB8GMHaleXn
"Mmm, I don't think so,"729Please respect copyright.PENANAtKKy4ay8vX
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 729Please respect copyright.PENANAN5ErY0hAvv
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAFNNvBInaEp
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."729Please respect copyright.PENANAQw0DLVlh5n
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.729Please respect copyright.PENANA013gNphYnM
"Then, stop trying to make one."729Please respect copyright.PENANAeXEibXkc5a
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."729Please respect copyright.PENANA0UzaOOo7eq
"Ya, me too," said Mike.729Please respect copyright.PENANAnfqQVJ4rxN
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.729Please respect copyright.PENANAoYNtRXcjGS
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAgDBSH1eEQP
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.729Please respect copyright.PENANAk2RmOWvZ5s
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."729Please respect copyright.PENANADHJowfkfPY
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANA9m1Bcf4mMI
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.729Please respect copyright.PENANAjyUqayx7ud
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."729Please respect copyright.PENANAVqLYDLneqJ
I didn't even dare try 729Please respect copyright.PENANAuiVfw31fbj
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 729Please respect copyright.PENANAyoG9CcQTgn
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.729Please respect copyright.PENANAxIYlQtTlYa
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAUz8D0XK9iw
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAY2zoFmJidC
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.729Please respect copyright.PENANADqqzziT9mS
I heard footsteps coming729Please respect copyright.PENANAIZGzOPxNuA
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 729Please respect copyright.PENANAOU4EpFoFD5
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 729Please respect copyright.PENANAU2X7yOvSHa
look at me.729Please respect copyright.PENANAgwTCisLJnr
"Are you okay?" he whispered.729Please respect copyright.PENANArRlzRiLHkl
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.729Please respect copyright.PENANAEYOfhVgN7W
I soon felt strong hands729Please respect copyright.PENANAircNNu0KCe
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD729Please respect copyright.PENANA6QDGKs3vxo
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.729Please respect copyright.PENANAP8z0A6bLpH
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAbzVQmoqF4B
"I'm a whole lot better,729Please respect copyright.PENANANshSjjQ1iA
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 729Please respect copyright.PENANAO9NiYTmlda
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.729Please respect copyright.PENANASyXVvuz59S
"Glad to hear that."729Please respect copyright.PENANAFEHnAyoXAV
When TOP let go of my shoulders and walked away to take his seat next to Mike, I heard G-Dragon's voice behind me.729Please respect copyright.PENANAkU3GK12x49
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."729Please respect copyright.PENANAZQDn7DxRFS
I was planning not to 729Please respect copyright.PENANAK1XQtrE787
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 729Please respect copyright.PENANA5AIbkxjaoG
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 729Please respect copyright.PENANAbfr1Q3DdnO
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to729Please respect copyright.PENANAXmUwy0yc20
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 729Please respect copyright.PENANA4BUXHDEPkS
under the bridge.729Please respect copyright.PENANAm2UZjSUDoM
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."729Please respect copyright.PENANAbdcNwcrl3L
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAZhyvDOxHoF
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."729Please respect copyright.PENANAA57G5V0M7q
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."729Please respect copyright.PENANA3whJrr7x1D
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.729Please respect copyright.PENANA2zZmspC7pL
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.729Please respect copyright.PENANAdv0PLPsYC3
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAZdYrQGiRV9
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."729Please respect copyright.PENANA0pBiN9Nz6l
The waiters soon came 729Please respect copyright.PENANA16PwYU2Csa
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.729Please respect copyright.PENANAOVzpkO1biq
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 729Please respect copyright.PENANAnqwUKN9dnC
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 729Please respect copyright.PENANAvMkFmiRP4r
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.729Please respect copyright.PENANARCMDevZVS1
For a moment, I felt 729Please respect copyright.PENANA1QhhgishJf
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAwoA8hiZolr
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 729Please respect copyright.PENANAsiMPpZpS4W
me to forget that I was ever mad.729Please respect copyright.PENANA9o2wPOehFu
"Mmm, this is so 729Please respect copyright.PENANAzMIQhczpI3
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 729Please respect copyright.PENANAWuFNC2BWPY
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."729Please respect copyright.PENANAYOlcxYw3uy
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."729Please respect copyright.PENANAPv5HnpLr0x
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."729Please respect copyright.PENANAUhrMYd7fXo
"Anything for you, Sam,"729Please respect copyright.PENANAqHPyFfOCPB
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 729Please respect copyright.PENANANPEJ4Ffiyb
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."729Please respect copyright.PENANAW7CMVESfgO
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAw3leVpfTcX
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.729Please respect copyright.PENANAz6DEEYFAwA
I had just taken in some729Please respect copyright.PENANAIk43RN2Bxi
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 729Please respect copyright.PENANA1R53MfpyUK
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly729Please respect copyright.PENANAs6aavk8qBy
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 729Please respect copyright.PENANA7acGrXJqzm
just said.729Please respect copyright.PENANAP2nHTUt2ux
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAxsI6bKnPe9
"Well, ya," Christine 729Please respect copyright.PENANA6XqoxHQAFs
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 729Please respect copyright.PENANAaYNdlXyj0e
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 729Please respect copyright.PENANAxcLGZqtg7j
special lunch to lighten your mood."729Please respect copyright.PENANAhqDT3tPJ8K
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.729Please respect copyright.PENANAkYaFaXF2cx
"Thanks for the lunch, 729Please respect copyright.PENANAP5gAPE3vMh
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so729Please respect copyright.PENANAh4miCLiZF3
sweet of you to have come up with this."729Please respect copyright.PENANA0femICXLkX
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.729Please respect copyright.PENANAFKYkVlDjUR
I almost felt like 729Please respect copyright.PENANAi9HGmSDWcr
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 729Please respect copyright.PENANAjuVMVsy7Gx
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare729Please respect copyright.PENANA7CHIpiQQNP
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 729Please respect copyright.PENANAGbDk9kmLRo
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 729Please respect copyright.PENANADWzSoSBtCg
turning into rage?729Please respect copyright.PENANAAt64SOyB3q
Oh, goodness. I needed 729Please respect copyright.PENANA3768Ic7zF6
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 729Please respect copyright.PENANABVW9cTeTCm
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 729Please respect copyright.PENANAovFnXZ5OyB
I tried to push aside 729Please respect copyright.PENANAx7Y8tbfcHM
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 729Please respect copyright.PENANAYTUkaAg4lU
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 729Please respect copyright.PENANABy85g0z3G5
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 729Please respect copyright.PENANAOHc36OI9Cs
chocolate moussé.729Please respect copyright.PENANAtXs4Yfj3Uj
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,729Please respect copyright.PENANAty4VwC1vrX
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 729Please respect copyright.PENANAta7QtQNOwH
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.729Please respect copyright.PENANA18IX4eJDmv
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.729Please respect copyright.PENANA2HMyNT0ok0
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."729Please respect copyright.PENANAtbdNsWATkV
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.729Please respect copyright.PENANADTrQlI0qcH
I didn't wait for 729Please respect copyright.PENANAlgrJhTfO7a
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I729Please respect copyright.PENANAHB6ABo6oWr
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed729Please respect copyright.PENANAhtBxTWr7Vz
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 729Please respect copyright.PENANA1GklNBF6GQ
heaven.729Please respect copyright.PENANAgUq2lBNQ1q
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.729Please respect copyright.PENANABKl4pXPrcu
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."729Please respect copyright.PENANA6WXN8S6ZqV
"I don't care," I said 729Please respect copyright.PENANAhpepzqG7lD
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 729Please respect copyright.PENANAKqyavauFsR
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."729Please respect copyright.PENANASN5NRFM1xN
G-Dragon smiled back at 729Please respect copyright.PENANAfVZ9hFGSww
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 729Please respect copyright.PENANAxQPYMleO63
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 729Please respect copyright.PENANABDuyvxfL8D
away.729Please respect copyright.PENANAeyQh7xRqMt
After dessert, we all 729Please respect copyright.PENANAxR8UgM8VlV
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 729Please respect copyright.PENANAMr2UeJbwvD
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 729Please respect copyright.PENANALdSYni8oyf
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 729Please respect copyright.PENANAiA9bPmaNUO
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 729Please respect copyright.PENANAj134P2oacF
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 729Please respect copyright.PENANA7r46VkvPQ2
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.729Please respect copyright.PENANAj9mb3pBVND
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"729Please respect copyright.PENANA3dNLsdMIfz
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.729Please respect copyright.PENANAfbsdp4s3Ol
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."729Please respect copyright.PENANALsTUGIyruG
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.729Please respect copyright.PENANATlZaaXYfsw
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."729Please respect copyright.PENANAlzcYxWIzTS
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."729Please respect copyright.PENANAzLUnrY1wpW
"What stuff?" TOP asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAKhw3Kz1xzw
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAoXvpR3AyLF
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."729Please respect copyright.PENANA5TRACqe4zr
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.729Please respect copyright.PENANAkruaEm5nPb
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.729Please respect copyright.PENANAgbTuWJbreW
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.729Please respect copyright.PENANA5DtlTicIBL
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.729Please respect copyright.PENANAcf3QHMder1
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."729Please respect copyright.PENANAzDBSJt5LEn
"Wait, what's going on?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAQZRvyFNrVY
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAh8SvobIhsf
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAMwEPnr79mB
"I thought we should all729Please respect copyright.PENANAcTnDNiFjse
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 729Please respect copyright.PENANAYdOZ6kQV6x
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."729Please respect copyright.PENANAM0rMoTTDQh
"But why do we have to put our heads together if there is you and G-Dragon who are better at song writing?" TOP asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAyfsVSkajR6
"I don't know, I feel we729Please respect copyright.PENANAXrRkEmH2DJ
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.729Please respect copyright.PENANA79wikZEVgj
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out729Please respect copyright.PENANAFhTXZDU8aD
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."729Please respect copyright.PENANAQEjRQxwpHe
"I don't get it though,"729Please respect copyright.PENANAK4lRoxsmPb
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 729Please respect copyright.PENANA2dVhSJZjMQ
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write729Please respect copyright.PENANAgZanR1yoAq
the lyrics?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAWDWMptKRuQ
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.729Please respect copyright.PENANARzGcUdUlhQ
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAlkQWFIOCzH
This time, I also raised729Please respect copyright.PENANAA2WgWqsJ09
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 729Please respect copyright.PENANAPyYfNUWLHu
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.729Please respect copyright.PENANAOVYoZXumhX
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAPDRDVA0dD0
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.729Please respect copyright.PENANAu8Vtlau89k
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.729Please respect copyright.PENANAOvARyGYyaE
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAh0dcCGxgDJ
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."729Please respect copyright.PENANAQefFDzZETY
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAqAKKmfeIyd
By the way G-Dragon 729Please respect copyright.PENANA62u3zywj6P
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 729Please respect copyright.PENANAczvmt1yoLx
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And729Please respect copyright.PENANAiDN3W7WzVq
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of729Please respect copyright.PENANAG84lVhkf1M
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.729Please respect copyright.PENANAlQVayLUBic
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."729Please respect copyright.PENANAq6ojmXu7Dk
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAbl8di9ZfVn
"Maybe, it's because you're objecting to my idea and you just want to make up what would be a valid reason for it."729Please respect copyright.PENANASQqoHUzwVB
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.729Please respect copyright.PENANA5IiB6n2Ya8
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 729Please respect copyright.PENANAGCcVQQCyNr
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.729Please respect copyright.PENANALK5AEXlqvm
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."729Please respect copyright.PENANAG8CF57tGlz
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."729Please respect copyright.PENANAfdEGK95WxP
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."729Please respect copyright.PENANAzSYAlxiWYI
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."729Please respect copyright.PENANAQgDVxDUYAn
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."729Please respect copyright.PENANAi9lYt3d9oX
"What truth?" I asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAZZB8EseW6X
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."729Please respect copyright.PENANAwUdF7O3NCj
Taeyang was right. I was729Please respect copyright.PENANA60ABAUGsjG
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 729Please respect copyright.PENANAbfLo8j67g9
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 729Please respect copyright.PENANAcnGupnQlke
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 729Please respect copyright.PENANA4OuhYCDP5a
attention.729Please respect copyright.PENANApNCotihaRL
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."729Please respect copyright.PENANANbawsdsLZ2
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."729Please respect copyright.PENANALmP7jdtHSn
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel729Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9vSiDQNeK
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 729Please respect copyright.PENANA0juzyyzgyq
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!729Please respect copyright.PENANAPvaMnOEXlz
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.729Please respect copyright.PENANAH4thnj7xnJ
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.729Please respect copyright.PENANAyaw2VauFJc
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.729Please respect copyright.PENANAa2VhtUddlQ
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.729Please respect copyright.PENANAyx5hqqEEeH
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.729Please respect copyright.PENANACZ5UjzXoZ0
"But I....." 729Please respect copyright.PENANAyGZbWlxzNy
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 729Please respect copyright.PENANAZE4drrBGRd
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've729Please respect copyright.PENANASjGVlrgWAn
talked way too much, don't you think?"729Please respect copyright.PENANAKUdvJqsuwM
That felt like a slap in729Please respect copyright.PENANA1tPqRdMhp3
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 729Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZPYgxPms1
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 729Please respect copyright.PENANAY1Q7ZXcisY
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 729Please respect copyright.PENANAvscEP6WVWO
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 729Please respect copyright.PENANALkDl0kWR4L
about what I thought was best for the whole group?729Please respect copyright.PENANAOtkdY5DWxM
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.729Please respect copyright.PENANATOdlVE77Mq
"That's fine with me," said Mike.729Please respect copyright.PENANAA8R33j1QEd
Everyone else agreed, 729Please respect copyright.PENANAK1jat4JJ9O
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 729Please respect copyright.PENANALyygZR2Z6G
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 729Please respect copyright.PENANAZvvSbUG8Kx
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 729Please respect copyright.PENANAEczpK4QZZc
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 729Please respect copyright.PENANAbqwWUgVo8f
B, just in case.729Please respect copyright.PENANAFF3kMlK7AA
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.729Please respect copyright.PENANAkz2khD0vQK
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.729Please respect copyright.PENANAhot7knoJhy
"Not now, Sam. We will 729Please respect copyright.PENANAhtGzK4mi6K
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 729Please respect copyright.PENANAEpq9UPc35K
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 729Please respect copyright.PENANAWPwZo0cLbJ
gave me goosebumps.729Please respect copyright.PENANAmJDOA7FVlX
"Way to go, Sam," said Zoey, as she also stood up from the table. "You just made him upset. I need to go calm him down."729Please respect copyright.PENANACPsnhekQR2
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 729Please respect copyright.PENANABdqHSr9eg3
One by one everyone 729Please respect copyright.PENANAkCB2XCmEyZ
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 729Please respect copyright.PENANAxwDgVfmkw1
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem729Please respect copyright.PENANAUFKkfhcf7G
appropriate.729Please respect copyright.PENANApOJVhdHjxB
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.729Please respect copyright.PENANApVU0QXl2Fv
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.729Please respect copyright.PENANAvVhWBnnhfS
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.729Please respect copyright.PENANAtMqDXsCE6P
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.729Please respect copyright.PENANALaw0gnrGmA
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."729Please respect copyright.PENANA1XkNoLXcbU
"It's not that. I pissed729Please respect copyright.PENANAAinMFDcdJp
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take729Please respect copyright.PENANACTHunffIw6
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."729Please respect copyright.PENANAExzPRU7PQP
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."729Please respect copyright.PENANAE7qX0ZDhat
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."729Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ea9BwjLy9
Taeyang placed his hand 729Please respect copyright.PENANA3oTeR5WMRA
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He729Please respect copyright.PENANAC71lEpSup3
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.729Please respect copyright.PENANAZeifgCtUw3
I knew I had to hope for729Please respect copyright.PENANAi87Gee78CO
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut729Please respect copyright.PENANARlbg2pWCI1
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 729Please respect copyright.PENANAZYB8ZrGzWg
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 729Please respect copyright.PENANAV32YCIUQtg
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 729Please respect copyright.PENANAVU8QrONSGa
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
