Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 15: Fire At YG

My body ached all over 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaXnM0yBrm
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDycjRsui8y
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDBMhsppn6
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RLVSjCcwX
bed.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbWeOsEn14

I scratched my head as I1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgKrTKqcmq
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f3DfgjSZp
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU4ekdNHhz
he found me here.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoPURP193y

I slowly stood up and I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQEaaZFeUz
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zOeCWPCZy
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKIhTxes2x
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxpfsOxlZW

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH7thpDxTW

I almost jumped in 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7hmozduu5
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbj6h9zXL4
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvUW8OihQ3
obviously reading the news online.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZpccCGUbi

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAPRunpcyd

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLHW16w8nF

"'Don't tire yourself 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDpfSGZEyZ
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNTRUPpdPr
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37hKfq5oYi

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXeQNtSxuf

"Oh, you were listening?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaXVjL7XL7

"Ya, you kept on playing1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk9ZaF2OsX
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz7xbibMMH
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeU376HmtX

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoQs6CK16T

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9hJMz2Evj

"For covering me with a blanket."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG5m7BYazB

Collins looked at me 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1EBuocoVF
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooij5HR60R
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjhdD1Rjx4

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QQQQZ4L01

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsC9wd6r8M

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPN5827PdJ

"Me too."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXKdAMJrS4

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE44mehPsxB

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nEY1jj2i9

"Going to take a shower," I said.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78tnU6Hvr5

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOApsG2vre

After I freshened myself1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJFGgI8bvi
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cUpJur3P6
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktnMPI3UVV
Collins was still on his tablet.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCtctmhOdv

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k56KQnhzU

"Nope. Just looking at 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHMyJ5z2gX
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxrzj0IXc2
coming back late at night with the others."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicGXJPxVNx

"Are they having a good time?" I got a slice of bread that laid on the middle of the table and was applying marmalade on it.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtHBGk3fmx

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTquSTQTWDl

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP2FjLZIrD

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHcLgQTdU7

Collins handed his 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5Mdxm7Dkp
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XTM9JuDLf
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5htQUWsiX
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bexn7WAwl
having a great time.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6Yek1XMYA

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cot3xrOq0

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Kf13EQNI

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhn789aYb7

"They should have as 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gvw9x6UIq
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhe0fiYTuA
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT0hp2BmTY

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qhK3AEXlY

"No, it's not about the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3EMIrYPHy
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtSxZthZqu
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKwTHHgtVr

I looked at Lee who sat 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHxVEw9V8z
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9jc2YcIDJ
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOvxhZrCoY
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRWlCmEPKy

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xocEXUOlV

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC7ysrC3JD

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3fiFyucyE

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSe3SwsCcW

"If I tell you, I'll 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7krifmFgw
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJVBoM5bmv
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM6ang9yoH

Collins got up from his 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD4TAgJbFZ
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FuZ1u7rJq
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtjMHKdIKR
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8iot7sJCR

"What do you know?" I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHThGum8rt
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj8inEXqYU
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk9e4cdjzO
detective asking questions to a criminal.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JBwOQtlLm

"I don't know," Lee 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMTSWUUgBw
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT2pPm7hpl
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ujz4iX6q1

I knew something was up 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHIxl2zFlS
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKh32VvLeY
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsbETGyaej

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUPIdXeCU1

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yAWgdF9Gh

"Well, hopefully." I blew out a puff of air and shook my head as I thought of what happened to G-Dragon and I yesterday.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEP5DPdXJAG

"Hey, what's wrong?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsZlArfEak

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScmEX6quPV

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOv1VTBR2M

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMZrGdtgPL

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWxb8fHCrO

"Well, kind of," I said 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUxN1G6wMJ
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzju3UrpvN
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOxtMlkC6i

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoVGBFZthz

"Okay."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX1deDDhEr

I was just done eating my breakfast when Collins came to tell us that it was time to go. I carried the guitar and my notebook.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGne9gMqppF

Lee, Collins and I soon 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2A8HPhXWp
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3824YRkn20
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTWc4Hh9Iq
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWLChX5nEl
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGlW5YP6Kc
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VaYvvHwdL

I was waiting in th 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysfLtOWvHP
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarcEJlrnoP
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYvjtMNsGP
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhC9zBjBSr
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4vzp1sL0i

I was pacing up and down1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNTmtkIN5w
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEPkJIjVbO
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kae2ty1hd
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUyCXBcQ6i
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhXFiF0llC
and I was so nervous.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSz4OL4GOF

"Here she is," said Lee,1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8II7yBuqBt
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8CtIaz0XT
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyuqsmV7H6
you, Tae."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBjEzGCtGI

I frowned at Lee and I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWnu41woMJ
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkREeTd6Se6
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAROxWvaAx
friend.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48j0htU2fK

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qwr2Zzdl6

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBYXcbcE6L

"I told Taeyang that I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvljh5OIzH
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL1z9FvklO
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWvgb6MpC3

"Our manager called me 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfb809BWzY
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYUYcHXarZ
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdsmoFhLQX
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziootuYX7Q

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtbo0eBcCg

"I'll go and check on the managers and see what's taking them so long," said Lee as she started to head out of the room.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9LIDmS4Pf

I wanted to call out to her and tell her to let it be. I didn't want our managers here just yet. But she had already left.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEyTU1UYy8

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsylNM5hrO

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdIbLQWUSS

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT1d7yK7oo

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF5CprHC5N

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUlGq03OIk

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJXf3aEjvG

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu3RyeBt42

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fCGMhF9hG

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5VTcBXI6I

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmE44eXAIO

"Sure."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR3PCY25CL

I gave Taeyang my 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRROBAZjLx
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWcIaZRMRw
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wiOiharXp
cute together.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXPlI3aw4b

"I can't wait for you to sing the song for us," said Hyo-rin as she looked at me. "The lyrics sound really good."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5sJDdllN6

"Thanks. I was singing 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgxd5vHaDB
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhrLC0Q7Nz
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpy9vVHybo
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0FcskioPr

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2OEzAXWON

"Well...not really," I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZicJR2acIN
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUscdsSaUhT
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK5CUJmU49

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CrE2uCWJP

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8Cj8cYic8

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YDsWdGYDw

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXqsOyyzCB

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3trE4ikzeO

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxhxscOx5o

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEUU4JS1H1

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDXm6ttyTV

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoHLyf8A4U

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WjVrDP2A2

"Right now."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0fmjOGmAh

We all turned towards 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzJBDqXY67
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGTFNpcwEZ
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSsIagStYq

When everyone got 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChevMNG5Js
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEqmJQCbfh
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogKom5hm3Y
run out of the room.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl81wWXaVvT

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1GsL3fHQc

I nodded my head and my 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev8JVck2eW
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDjFl151uW
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM99XcIGkxg
ever got to play it.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucg2ZFmaMu

I felt a break of sweat 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RSB3kAQkm
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURAUiKE59D
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh8nVnYide
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOckUjzwRlA
strung the strings on the guitar.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXvNoYbyhB

I started to sing as I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWwUntDz70
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUp9Rfl6ZO
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qa8ryiALU
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBHKFeLXyR
didn't. Well, I hope so.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGas2mFh2L

As soon as I was done 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEUVLSLyPV
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxfuTq1pzB
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSiVGoaEpz
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1cSONPY0y
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMXHjiJiQh
hoped they liked it.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc3owkcQ4m

The studio was still 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfxOiEJ3ZC
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdXOHwyFse
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0cNHkZShi
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FCnEo1vhV

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uMoQLGXbo
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSc7M1BFtK
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8XUWiy9X7

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUMGFdIc7z

This was it. The hammer 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5BeVNHxvV
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbhKyJc3kw
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2GFdDWcvI

"....incredible."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaArlfzsj3

I opened my eyes and I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsbuRieXCa
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQRGgnFv4I
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkLTu4cdXc
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtslIpswc9x
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbjuDIjeqx

"I've to admit, when 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6QBv6Pfk8
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrN8ECd5vb
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUn9npx3gc

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFbcaQkRuS

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqyX6EZLYT

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVMp7yMBmG

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwykOX2nQHm

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSashUq4nJ

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBdJGm91j2

I couldn't stop smiling 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU53z0gfNih
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKWmpLdysh
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEKi7XRyAV
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgaXjO0m3R
good voice and a golden one.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJOInd1Cw8

Immediately our managers1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqr0OHJkEM
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBtkTo1Yme
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgsyLTvl4M
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS1asS06w4
musical instruments.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclS3SJczKP

This was always the hard1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45d4ZIOVrx
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mrPcwNe0n
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTQ3jLfKK9
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP9IdLXV2i
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMe7Z5AnSx

An hour had passed and I1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayzovk5jrN
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyJ9GMh9Mu
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVNw8ZtIFm
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cxXDu6nhr
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LYnQMGom5
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8HltGKAek

"It's been an hour and I1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCUS33E1K7
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueAYUvwB2n
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKcBx1b25q

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eWmPKsz0l

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTnpqYdGhf

"Trust me, you're so 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l5EFmRfIC
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkcdX3DO0i
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LZRbVPdNp

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrzQs0YCL9

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KDzOeehYB

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDXW16VsEv

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ab0hqTZ1

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2h1WARUrK

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFAsUzJU11

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OKVDP8cHs

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvK7Mkn3P0
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxRWJTGAbI
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qLphnkwRH
masseur."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWNbNOboHp

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6Fog23Uwf

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5GGpujrCB

The music producer soon 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBsgj9helI
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DUCywhvmD
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9ZUMGjlu6
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEggoWlWnnu
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb3FwDke7d
recording the track.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLizGLIfD1u

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKcA0K3zUr

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtvYr4ATkb

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HK8UqbzE6

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3diFSoySwH

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDKgFaar5B

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnIzplCyGv

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRhXbpsJW1
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzff1B0HwxR
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyxTQ5oDt6

"Let me guess, you're 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JLQ8GFpAZ
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VsslpxFkJ
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmk7Ag8lEW

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ759ZW1CK2A

Something told me his 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5vG44kahx
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSBEW9S7BT
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMClOsUw7i
always does.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5raKxuu8y

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSSD0CGBE5

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSNhH3xE8g

It was late in the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNyckHwB7d
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXaE73kigU
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf6DbYAXP2
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI55AiT84Mt
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoUyCLMkrt

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I8dCI3zh6

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2GPHhPCqO

I looked beside him and I1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGptuZye6xt
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLVkyKQSLG
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstx0af4Ce5
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscn4MzdyLP
leaning my head on the console.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXhrzS6wtT

"I always hate this part1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BuaPScIqz
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzoVcUygQt
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3eB9sPZHB
console.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY6lqfd0t3

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03S1b29RNm

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoaMxowUn0

"I wonder what time."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTFzVAQJ7X

"Wait." I pushed my head1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4j6xPMplS
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6wKKaUGO2
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQitkD1PeLk
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpi2Oto7NX

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhRCiEZd5M

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hAzNE515l

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbFivPGgRH

"I didn't sleep well 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAtFdR8wTF
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMox3ZReFDl
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHIFN0zSSM

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD6pynt2aD

"You're right." I soon 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwvhM5r1vU
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3afuzl8iiQ
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPtOsHTCis

"He said they might come at nine in the evening," I said when I cut the call. I was so sleepy I felt like I couldn't stand up.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78XDzphhoO

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa6OHt6Jgv

"Alright. Thanks."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhBq8zEw4Q

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmtuSvJ23K

"And so will I," said Seungri.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoIQipoy36

"Guys, it's fine. Taeyang and Hyo-rin will take me," I said with a small smile on my face as I faced Seungri and Daesung.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTj4IAkk5B

Immediately I left the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRKIVZbxga
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrreO6RVzEH
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjjQEuPHua

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0iOy59i51

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktfa96ydKF

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCKHJrFWJc

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCqE0fmQA2
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHf7140DCF
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBAzmL2UrC

The next thing I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6d5JodItA
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMnHBqjvfP
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HmT4nnIJZ
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99NkTKrFGr

I woke up by the sound 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMeXZJkUTi
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoacoCP8aeM
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuRkPmDiwc
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN20zQp8E4
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I6zEeF119

I reached out for the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbW9GTAGdT
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYalQ4Vfoxs
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqAvK3uVh6
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUd8cPz9EW

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JfdnOn3XC

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M5MfydIWF

"I could hear it ringing1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp7lg92vVf
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvS9IJxfJp
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4FSyjmYvb

"Thanks," I said as I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNGLYuFv5h
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xcti2uaaN
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQXQxXIEzf

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I3XeDl5lB

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYSI7S0OSY

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOwErIY6ej

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG2zActHFj

Lee left the room and I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EqHcparWN
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgg356eGdL
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJYs9ec7Fj

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SOt3C3Vvu

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqPVpfWy2r

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyONKp5fVII

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqgpVeArMK

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy9E4Psi6V

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzSK51OXgu

I dashed over to the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANeyqrAmY7
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyrVNVsuV1
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiBjC5FSUj

It was now 10 PM and 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKiazTfC5j
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMBlHdQrFF
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2VX2mD8eq
they were right now.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk89IkxEQbY

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBFlPmGxFf

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8PsCvRbpv

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUJGlCN3jb

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjoi6XZtHl

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4sKJT0gE2

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbj14wTHNr

"True."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ3TyxaClT

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBr6Kv38iu

Two bell boys came out 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtkw8gqJOF
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9ob6uzeDS
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8u5PdTN9Y

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2KceQ0ANd

There were so many gift 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWXyFIfTlG
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkYTTyAbAx
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudJpCidliK
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGcEZxdLr7
so pissed.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRF1oRVmvn

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImwnhJlSE2

"They are downstairs," he answered.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQdmIw9k5y

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBV3kO95b8

When the doors flew 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLSGNmbHdS
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTKlvNYfZu
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bFJrcQYmE
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc2gYvF3vM

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡencoWXOzFD

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE1jvC6S3y

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpvHayYmIy

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXux0foCrJ

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOYX7mAEE9

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdWvzLIaZe

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVimqutkU4

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOZvdnBwUn

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrQJ7sA5V6

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh2msK8gQT

I raised an eyebrow. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzL4f9T02v
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2f5acGhhz
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhmosnIZNg

"Okay. Enough," I said as I shook off Zoey and Christine away from me. "Can someone please tell me why you're acting like this?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaW8AAXshm

"Everyone just missed 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu94VcIvyA
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazUuK8XhUS
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdteM8E6du

I rolled my eyes at him,1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsJOGlnZML
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXBgGIQOgk
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVfBMmbSYM
face when I hugged him.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPfQH9nIP6

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr4UOW6AMl

"Wait! You missed TOP 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu9j3IoRtu
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7TUF5ZCoF
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n2KFgViDc

I always loved it when 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3ECmdsIyn
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVrwDNfXaJ
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXPf37VPG9

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbYXmpr53E

For a moment, that voice1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj3V57Qy6i
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcN1Coc5k1
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WIatn90c6
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmmdFrDw4R
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfsNk3Oeom
he was still acting the same way he had left.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aDI4pbd6V

I was really confused. I1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IJhZptZVd
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89dicXizqk
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGWS9ZAPGb
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxPndwGFVj
personal and it had to do with me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDWufb9wSZ

I had no other choice 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQss4TiO9zF
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ta0crvmcL
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBNHlt2ABe
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHX3MuYm4D

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI9YZu8ISz

By the look on his face,1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSecZHas4w
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn8fpvCWkN
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH8ysdzklm
going to end pretty tonight.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKjoSJA8FM

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aY6SyYDcL

"Ya, I did."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJx0SyQZK3

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8CITItFF1

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuClAQKIQo7

"Can't wait to hear it,"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLKRWYdiAS
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPilljldcx
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoESfrM904

"Anything for you, 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZBxY9zqPQ
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jKGGm43DK
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ1fHLnJaj
look at Zoey.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzof4haR0s

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgcgl40IJG

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnI5qUdB02

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZdndOqpKc

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3rzL2W9IE

"You know Collins is 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CrxHwR6nL
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZWq3Yc1w1
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRMAxBBst5
floor.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvUklbLOac

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYVhmHSXDk

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwI6TSwGFB

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnNisII9F8

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgBnUkTLPb

"We better sort out all 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag1wUiy3X5
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn5IuPFbxa
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza0Rzh7BeW
floor.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILHjXmlj6e

Sorting out all the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmWKPD12Fk
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtWpJdk271
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSzLQyhL3w
had really bought a lot of stuff.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcEDv7aWqs

The boys had brought a 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchctR2Hgfp
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AYmI508Q4
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13OlQfEW6W
expensive designer shoes.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB2oKHqO9Y

As for Zoey and 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg3n5NiDVC
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHz4s4tvyG
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHmxKA51Na
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyy2vRpiyu

"G-Dragon was helping me1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXwIu6niSU
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfTmiPozRh
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmhCQVB2YA

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGX1NFcMNX

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4SJgk4AH3

We were sitting on the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2FM67FuQK
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgusy60wqGr
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5IZ98YRbs
stuff with Collins' too.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j5ma2IDxh

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNnmuG6zur

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2LGBjqF5a

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv44Nk3Jrkb

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTf0pXy1O5

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBA9A2VFFF

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPlCUKrayZ

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN6zMANnB0

I distributed the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfy05YDirb
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xbTDnnEK6
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkDtsZBiHH
was meant for me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0fD3F7CwA

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe3xrIvPyP

"Don't worry about it," I said as I walked over to her. "We will find it tomorrow. We can't go through all these right now."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi4fOWAuC7

"Ya, you're right," said Zoey. She had a gloomy look on her face. I could tell that she had bought that gift with lots of love.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhuR8LJ5O3

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7Wtk1Zfwr

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3jBnGdJkg

For a moment, time 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjmjIIPTYh
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hNkRFRUCN
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnM4VlWZKS
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42dhV875mp
mess.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmFv1z2nQG

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD4i46qTCu

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHTjW7keaE

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6kzSr3Tq7

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ8Lo8gT2V

For me, it kind of felt 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdVZKL4rHA
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3J4HB6T7N
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjneK3ISbu
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb53B9Lf0hY

When Collins came to the1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg1Wl68gx5
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcegk7ku22K
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9I7rge8ms
he just couldn't.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNcyv2Sejv

"Hey, Collins," I said.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwpFjxOi9y

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynKRzvUks1

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvfI6IVie6

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JqGZ5Flih

"Thanks."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7s3y2Imsl

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LMa6PHSSM

"Who?" I asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvijAM5QPz8

"You know who I'm talking about."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZIDP9qL8t

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3cWEWQI7q

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm3oxJTLWl

Collins went over to the1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDkZwhrDbM
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0v1lEItZ0
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3h3i2tqcO
up at him.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc83OA34oXA

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsoRbKTr4E

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6o0ZOGmCU

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AUfTghMdZ

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWdGkKjGGb

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZDOuW7Wtb

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5j1HcFBr2

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWanZcMATMN

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe32LKcmO2

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76xINPkZbK

"Ya, most of the stuff weren't bought by us, you know? If it came to the designer clothes, it was all from Chanel," said Zoey.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ofyUHSpem

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIZWGbLoBe

"Here, we brought you an1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiyfBOUfaa
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡail6w0Qs3C
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKBHs7dizm

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqx3SBV5Ru

"Thanks," said Collins, 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOzcyhJCgi
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkrBfAjgpK
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxPkGJ8qs8

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz4g1kLrfd

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39ThmldWRV

Lee was right. Collins 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWl7tqYhxt
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwblb77ci8d
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP578ZVOhq
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLfdzvB4dy
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrExElHAKH
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypD3NL5bLF

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcrZqvfK90

We continued sorting out1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX3UyDrPLM
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q5j4EvRSF
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zUTAfvHRw
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWme4f5iV9q
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbiOwEEpUL
already too late and we all needed to rest.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUteJMthPsI

We hadn't managed to 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEO8q4ofeI
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpskAjxO2iC
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3QEN6lgyw
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSMyPChDUF
course.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm39ULKlY3

When we were all done and had retired to our rooms, Zoey quickly pushed me into the room when I was just coming into the room.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjEPPITXuJ

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSfRzyGRGK

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzG5R1ld0b

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8jMGJX7Xq

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffiPHKw94C

I looked at her with an 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAmh3eMPvW
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLWI2fPlv2
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmvNxHU9cU

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg45aRviEkL

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQMmDysr0M

"Fine?" I looked at 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzy8J75ZEm
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNLc0MCvPR
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrUTB0VdF4
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCT0KwPjjo

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2P12Bj7ZP

"Tell me, please!" I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT5B8Ndfth
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7arT81Ixf
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty41oOyI8R
tell me something. So tell me!"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HWJEI7QK0

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4pvn0oHYl

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7Q2TthfUa

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc0rSbAfq3

"Hello! Earth to Zoey!" I snapped my fingers in front of Zoey's face. "You look so lost. Please tell me what's bothering you."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLwMoYx3kn

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvss6vJpF7

I felt really excited 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtWQ9aypG7
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfomzJzQmb
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUoHx5t60A

"I don't know how I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h2LnbVJrN
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pnGyT4XUh
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXqaZq4gF9
Tower."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtiCf6ILXs

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr8w1EAWtD
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6p94JHQqQ
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIyiihbFce

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPUDMtS6jJ

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs02NcyZQVN

"So we got to the Tower and we were having a good time as usual." Zoey paused as she licked her lips. "Then something happened."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOnIG6vb6v

"What?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6M3v4hJ8I

"When we got to the top 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFJhDjz9qj
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbPtf18m9H
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHieQcOKnnY
others had left and it was just GD and I."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI4zyF8hJK

My eyes grew wide. I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRJABvorok
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQWjDX4OvC
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaye4bpFzo

"You two kissed."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKfNtWtaKL

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLn0qgkb8y

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDmVBnU6X6

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLYxQBBmfn

"Well, you were in one 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicpAAsO1Ym
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEfJOAMAKF
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiayNsc7sm

"Smart."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWA0z9Z6Pu

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nJ2zh97Ef

Zoey smiled like a fool,1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgsdRcWar0
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUkxWKZGEU
it was so magical at the same time."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynKnJpm9lZ

I couldn't help but 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yDQysxDeN
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK6ji71h6U
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL2pFQuN1d
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFjjp8xank
everyone at the prom.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZrK2isJzP

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6Poxo8GDE

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa1ssjADLZ

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0lZz7cqeR

"And? Anything else? 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXwJ7Ie2tr
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qAOML6QB3
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5voovKgYX

"When we were on top of 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbVI7o7bsT
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6cB9dyzln
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2NApV6Fic

Well that's a bummer. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5IjXj6OXK
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM1Lerbuln
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH335bbu33
really liked Zoey and not me?1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMeRBR8DXo

I brushed that off. Why 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwU5CA2bLR
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMGsAsVmvi
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UXf9Powyx
hopes up with it.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHmmHSu67h

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq6lUqGcvP

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDRoFYv5U0

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3SIfEn3A1

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqeh8puBCK

"Thanks, Sam."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBcApfdEu4

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhRnTC7gOz

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SAafbUPdp

I left Mr Panda on the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TWOfQTsgs
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxII5JbZUs4
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVZqYDJlts
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf0FjSa9Hr
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNz86UtCTA

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaEZohdiUR

"Good night," she replied. She turned to the other side to flip the switch beside the bed on the wall and the room went dark.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvwx7ThPFw

I laid my head on the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFOI006glw
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKZrhjyc0L
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeexDg58suK
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHrsnHlKGc
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQh9iZDpPx
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZpH5imvcQ
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfykV6xkQbq
have been.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pl11HxEZs

Zoey would have only 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUV5un9UH4
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf3IDfdQdM
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0w5Ac92JC
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVt6s9y2Jt

To be honest, I was happy for Zoey. And when I heard her giggling again, I realised that I wouldn't want to hurt her.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D9TsXpZ3A

I pulled Mr Panda closer1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK5TABV9Rs
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSDSs8GvyB
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruNxXzfScR

***1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32GNYYjWnm

I was given a round of 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYx3YxDYit
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmwsTXUEHS
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwceTNbsHk
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEiDR8WNM3

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFAsIekfvs

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGmQ0x8w3T

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP56P6CqCnK

"Then you better eat 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ms2QiEWtg
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX41AGtP7D
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfkKHaglow

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOvrrH1LBj

"I can't wait for us to 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pk0OF00XH
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXPpt5FsdD
beside me. I could only tell why.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDJ0ka6223

Christine who sat 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYEhgPI14E
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppUqGtDETh
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGnar4Szai
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8ZCqx5IKM
and G-Dragon.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz30jKLuCjx

When we were done 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9ImGvhK3g
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ064fiHDLO5
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNNnZDPqRz

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdxVgJhE1u

"What is it, Zoey?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFIrORDhQ1

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEGG74dd1S

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboHxycapD2

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W5ddeSBiX

"That's the problem," 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5V5p9eXce
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtebQDGQPyx
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodoWzZll5v
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6concwSzRc

Mike turned away and 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBxh4WqAbK
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mFhKDAEyY
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2ycabOi51
something?1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EbDDWpTSD

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfYdA01WZy

We agreed with Christine1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUNDj7d3iA
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjiR9OZtoo
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsXmAMk8hT
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz7SZPs3Gp

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7LD7OEaQO

"Hey, how are you," said G-Dragon as he came and gave her a hug. I bypassed them heading to the couch sitting next to Daesung.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXllvSz1hUV

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH28ShE1fcq

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISbQBxd2wk

"I also feel like I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HTXwxsTAn
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvEOx08638
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kAcRhLiBu
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYny7a2EO3

"Do you think we should 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT03h6oYLP8
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfsKSABzBT
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9TLYshjDw

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivL7RGKn3B

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPKBhD5HFi

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vwQM7YsRM

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJYrrbJOHE

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBcFjYbOvS

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgQs6TENpA

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNRJwnB9iQ

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYMHkoho2M

I stood up from the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRieHNOvA6u
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLOAMeGKGs
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbCevWqo3k
conversation.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLdbIuOk1Q

When I went back, I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbABnagVJAv
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWe91gV3r3
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr12GuN9mRa
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjyALvGjj2

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsniTW621v

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtodkyH5QdD

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu2gWdbzOo

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTyk6taO7g

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwI4Slnfva

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMFvW91SmS

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4pq8p5fIF

G-Dragon gave me a weird1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50JfGv0NJs
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVqLBemUZf
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8JMX8vagK
took their place on the couch.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJXw0MlFTY

"Christine and Daesung, I1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg25wDNkByD
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIKlD1MARj
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5uiBnHMsq

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvlvb01er8

"Ya, we will sing the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GJbT2judS
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrubdriomM5
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK70yHMIYq
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa36l4QhTgI
producer has the lyrics printed out."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylDO9P3TAR

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVP08tvZip

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGFoldzk3h

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Aoq9yF24j

Then we all went over 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gtCHERHIu
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCD4JQfjyN
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x3qcwEm4G

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiYXGHnqU0

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp8G48VBiG

"Me too," said TOP.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f8CQWwSv0

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekKjzFPW8S

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hKcWvumeN

I didn't look up at him 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm5aK6gRWk
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1b9FOrXX0
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEsiMUt9OS
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpMO6hFBhW

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyAG7WF0yr

I started to relax my 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbTn8oadEx
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAof4SusOgv
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LLKpvRANp

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYc3juDAMr

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Bc8Rx1Ve

G-Dragon came to sit 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqSZ41BzTQ
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHtYhLLnmI
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8dYo9MS6I
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOGntHktHz
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9RlEx8fJc

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTDbKzo1mx

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPJpZivp5v

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6p4bF1Fu7t

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZinqZHim9

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNewzGwTEN

"Really?" the music producer asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NvWI9UB2x

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV7EQxIEpE

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUgaWpLbnP

"Give him a chance, 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jrhcYgYwE
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO9yDokxGd
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lpOUsZyL9
headphones and put them on.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz1fDhpWun

"Okay, this is 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSV5ISv6VF
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhED6ZoQAlf
join them and see what needs some changing."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfaw2kCOjl

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnVMZ2nuaX

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdjsU73aEM

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByJvOrBXHv

The others looked at me 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL2VWyoQcj
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5oEGvk9Db
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNCquzbbcZ

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Hcj0oa75

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI53Zk0qHL

"That's going to be a 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoHXXOOXhB
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cPc0lZtCp
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUph6mOgNPj

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd0upite1T

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchgoBFDDLy

"Okay let's go through the song," I said as everyone nodded their heads and sat on the couch and I went over to get the guitar.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfAArjH9O0

I looked over at Zoey 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ442ICrwVjj
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEihi4lxxKB
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyseKxyvxL

I put a stool in front 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuhHjbJJsB
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliTHrz4Hcm
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAyy8xTX6t
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxComzrFK3y
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYY3rS0d8K
others.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet0VYOSrkT

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRSDQCOWcd

Taeyang and I sung the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrUgBv3fl1
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCtZsPXeQJ
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmon2nX0QrT
great and everyone cheered.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyZJl8TxYY

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5wsmgbOUG

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDePgn18PN

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VEcjx5V59

TOP started to rap the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCCDk3NJEm
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjjXyZSWMc
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxElEW4hj4r
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U2SSoLq6A

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF4wfwYkOk

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq7tLqqZ9p

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3RN0iMZgQ

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE01eE9pkR

Daniel and Seungri sung 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWj175U6CS
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FhQRI23vH
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS8svyOcvL
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul2dutSaMD
clapped for themselves and cheered.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyNLBoF3hd

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnSYAF65FU

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAtTRmhD3r

I almost fell off the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fn7aHIxbq
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAks5Osur3s
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZvfOvMVOM
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXPRXDNlVG

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPzS2q6mUF

"I have to say, you all 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVe8AdbaIj
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItTrExnerw
smile. "Keep up the good work."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr2zO6NRc1

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHqDGzgNNJ

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrwsxtcD4H

No one said anything. We1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVryLIqQS7x
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhURt84yMel
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuurLKyLqkB
talking.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMIUoPRznJ

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUcYr3xjUZ

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBDsA6pIKA

That, I couldn't answer.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAngL8Kr4x
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOLksu6yBZ
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAXl5mjruU

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhZvR2qaBi

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkTsCq09x0

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnRXR7IyCy

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBPYBtbLL0

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaUjPgYL7R

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFUg7iT61a

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrrGiNUbZa

"I want them back here 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmVMt2Sp0u
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnkzRcEqV8
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7EciGQ8Or

I gulped as I felt the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNCr3sfEkK
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3zpOhCCW2
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXvqDOB2Iq
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKx75iUyus

No one said anything 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefSSVftVqh
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu733oGn4K
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDPIxoqn0N

"Where could they have 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaWGhO9E1u
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB01KPM19VM
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cY2CbKerW

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqidLPzo1cu

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0m0Idcn06

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjg7DtCQm1

"Then we better start 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnymvaOwgT
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hW3EkWryh
looking for them will be difficult."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIKClxgsQS

We all agreed to split 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MUIlBYmKk
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza3qvoiWXd
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfubuCGkPrW
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wFHXb5F2u

All the studio rooms 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT1orqhWzD
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGwXc9M6W3
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP2xBEE3dP

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2fAggSXzp

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2teFwNpFp

"Almost fifteen minutes."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGAEI6aOSb

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHpxxKuVSh

He nodded and pulled out1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wddqDRtGf
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzjgTmLKfV
walked out of it and came towards us.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ooOxG2nJ

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ135QgXO5vH

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcLPjRWOCg

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2GUwjNiaA

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oG2hElOzv

I looked at the time on my watch. We only had fifteen minutes and Yang Hyun-suk was going to kill us all if we didn't find them.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3eCxxYYDG

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRXCWEZ9ru

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVVHJXUglF

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWplNDfEELF

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpuvLf1wWw

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGj8mReRU8

I hadn't said a word 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TZnQbLxlu
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQgHcJXC5a
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKwU3bXGuY
but worry.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiiIFFINnX

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPBiVAF7UL

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpQUfbRf3k

Daesung motioned his 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwUNzORoZi
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1BVu3tzMs
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiVufC3p9C

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXIO7kFuuX

Taeyang and the music 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevWcr17xU9
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRIxyKtNRx
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9gEKEorms
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jQQTHKJbx
and angry at the same time.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfhIRUuN2c

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9aHjiTisx

I looked over at Daesung1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeYICeApGy
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd2MZobOAc
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSESFU4DMKV
the play button.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PHw2AmI7q

***1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfQQFtcrIX

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oimfsel38

I came crushing back 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvQQyIXL8j
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG1ZK6SxZd
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqsAQIjZcE

I had so many mixed 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNndM9FWLQe
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzulTKtSYH8
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ETocOnGyo
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwkqFZnm1N
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQEP1x363x

I could tell that the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3yiwIdI2O
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl28FOjI1r
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKbBck30j3
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFhtly5q6U

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsPn80zCA4

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9BwgEDzXz

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs4cPCkO0a

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZskGpZHysq

I folded my arms and 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUvLXgwlpB
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SQhFdHTWP
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD6VQTKnib

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNzdQQq1Mo

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyNjK4HQki

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTmL7ztTuA

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WJ8B0ZJAk

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1vnAqlx4s

I could feel the others 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQgH16zEsS
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2xIb3JmBf
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXLc9FB49f
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutr5UTrndQ
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UmehbeZgs
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPju59Aiabh

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv7cggGpT9

"Okay." I nodded my head.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXKN6Imoex

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV56U58KC9
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeDKwAk81U
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPJMl6W2mY

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbODdDC7LSW

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8Wrxdm2HK

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAOichAHFp

"Not until I hear what 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTLtfOm8kS
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4izRcacs5b
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbCjwcYtyI
trying to calm down.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqLJb5t33S

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1F7TDXNxc

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9jeAusHp6

"So that we could get 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw40QSgLHDF
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuW12Q2qmm
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgiD7siTbt
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MWox7rSKh

"I agree with Sam," said1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq0o46mk6v
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPjHliFEB1
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvWcKsQauH

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyvt1Iq4Oo

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhU7qsgnSI

The rest of the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFosiVYQqci
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGouyGeGJqM
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4p37e0mc9
playing cards.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4MTdwKd9V

I was leaning my chin on1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY6aEFyKvp
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNGgt8BL39
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMKrqaLA6Z
especially to me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa09ipQaLrp

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4LG2u2fKA

I suddenly sat upright 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFKTInPCzC
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXws9Mu9Aw
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMANZngQEuW
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel08YbB4ie
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdd0ZejuL1

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRyVmhi0nS

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMB2vvBSPq

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFjPmBYSH5

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BvGR32pRh

"Maybe we can just order1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoePl1HPVrN
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyOdYExjFP
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OSCZHPip2

"Good idea," said TOP. "Let me tell her right now." He pulled out his phone and just when he was about to call, Lee came in.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9dTp6cpZu

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3pb5Ony85

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24kfHfeAv7

"I heard that Zoey and 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS22pRXcoj
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbyBb50jDF
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSx2N9Rz9O

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4pG023O1f

"Then it's a good thing 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5TBHF2A9q
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNmYjO2xMy
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaTDVpOM8p

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJF38uCD0l

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SKxZ2U6kY

Everyone soon dropped 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBFCAvs6LQ
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJvwJhVQ7A
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNctQnOSIa

I had never eaten pizza 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM2L0VyYbz
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmc8XilVZ1
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nOAHB1kVM

We were done finishing 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu575kZbcJT
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTssi17PMG2
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2jibVnHw2

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k9puRLdJC

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHylK0RiLmd

We were huddled up on 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcEmPEsv8N
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWqx8Y2X41
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU2XJHzMvo

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubheZuHmA8

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNkzITlBrh

"You lied? About what?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5VPyKrvQx

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxQSDrAABc

"But why?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoddxuKUveh

"Because, I had no choice. I want to know why GD did this. It's best we know and see how we can move forward."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC4Wrr2mp1

I finished my slice of pizza and licked my fingers when Lee asked, "don't you think he just did that to get back at you, Sam?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW9bZ3JeqJ

I didn't expect Lee to 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkOzl0CZik
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVOBELi96M
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Y3JqInzF

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r8On1mTSt

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvFstqg1H4

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0YJslujbv

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSNZQejgoj

I stood up from the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjzTYP724I
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyqnFSWEE6
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TedJnbiIs
later.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6DDZ8h7BO

Trying to find the right1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W78VJuM2m
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJEFRif3LR
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ919pY1zTuB
what for, was the question in mind.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sK8azW7dl

"Aren't you going to 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a5HrotHtA
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydPLTR2cNU
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7qBArIS2V

"I doubt it," said TOP. "I was here with them when they were writing the lyrics and the two of them looked fine to me."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu24bKmYiLU

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3k9INtK2I

I looked at Lee and she was looking back at me with a scared look on her face. Using my eyes, I told her not to say a word.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IP0fpb93m

Lee went on to look at 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgllqnwf4Pf
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiyeakxIik
just thought they might be arguing again."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleTKNJpxK4

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt8iu6NcdP

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTnx6qjFXh

"I don't even know what 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUQmjn82VI
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx7MiNY2LK
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67mcKOsY8R

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlAL4qnuMO

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82wvKjZ1Vx

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKr9k25zM0

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUKlKyAlBA

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChiG1ps7L5

It only took five 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCft2F3UOa
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQW3h5El2x
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa55VKmurEO
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdJuTw1Bdx

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ190sixOlBe

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs24qtsSOde

Still, no one said anything. It looked like no one was ready to throw the dice first. I cleared my throat and looked at Lee.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUNdVRaIvn

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvymqyz1GHU

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3iqGYb21U

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB4KCgiv1b

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0KJAQLmS2

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAtvLNHNwf

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDtk6HmJWm

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79c85mFelX

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpYqidznqe

I tried to keep my tone down and my anger in check but I was boiling inside. Any minute now, I might just blow my head off.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4Z4Jzh4lq

I was expecting an answer from G-Dragon but all he did was look at me. I kept on coming closer, my eyes not leaving his.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzDbNsyJTz

"Why did you this?" I asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAXlrNWrTF

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtvfP2ahFJ

"If you didn't like it, you should have just said so and all of us together would have figured something out. Not what you did."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlI7U6uKnc

When I got closer to them, I took out the USB drive from my pocket. I took G-Dragon's right hand and placed it in his open palm.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtvyY42yFK

"The instrumental is in 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlgkSg1liv
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu7KUSmntX
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZs9TF0LHj
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQwsv1GfTX
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ckvJyhcjl
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPefMRuEJIR
pissed."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZWZ3FG3wQ

"Wait, a minute," said Taeyang as he came up right behind me. "He first has to tell us what's happening between the two of you."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KH71OThK9

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01XjtC7VxH

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVEznOZ70y

I looked at Zoey and she1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJR2KlLLSh
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15jZKLnMA2
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGdHPfocnq
was mad at me for.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WkrjrSZNE

"Now is not the right 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8EK37DiwR
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDKAYbm0mH
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmkpl7SQFF
understand.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn1RnbRjEs

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvCkMKJJWG
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Mmu7a6dB
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqxftsDQwr
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATqIjCnn6V

"It's about time you guys got here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he turned towards Zoey and G-Dragon. "Hope you had a perfect lunch."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01kLctImQq

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPfDLq0t3v

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYBw2L0ro9

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM2Mf5Bud0

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV10arsiEOf

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU7LFPtWdS

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRtkm29c08

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs8NcDtVx2

I paused with my mouth 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuIxb6MUPd
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PqFZhIJKX
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM2mGvJu7w
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oPg4uJLRI

I looked at G-Dragon and1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC7oBiqeC3
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVfXVdkQFX
face wondering what he was thinking.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoaamSpKMr

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZGZfAJXy2

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPmz1oxJ47

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAoNMt8Lqd

I smiled and Seungri 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBDaNdba6B
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOM0Br15TW
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3da000NlDt
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQsdergynS

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBkObRp7Pa

I smiled a little more. 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJNNWfNY3d
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG7gvh06M4
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwLhgejEUF
were at war again.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQeJDBNKFB

"But we can't start 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErOqXUbyFa
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQVAiBF7lE
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDzhPpU48i

I sat upright and alert.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz54P7weo1
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcEVv93xUp
have to record the track the day after?"1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j9fVTuiMA

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLrHTEajqg

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPlCYwVmFf

"But why didn't you tell1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM61caBN9eB
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAjRdjN6Ke
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8uG2j4izn

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0R2sE8tIY

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeZVEE43IF

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK09HJll7dY

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ScmpglaVb

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh5kpCXJqh

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkReBtA42w

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcmsErrr1H

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sJOyUYz2m

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV5YYEPt9X

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCGLouDHun

The two managers and Lee went out of the room first. Just as we were about to walk out, TOP stopped me by holding my hand.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDWt7GJ1lY

I turned to look at him 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYPUVdLp9h
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztHN1oQTwX
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoUKGYcf8K
me like that.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGreQd9JqKu

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFh3BIuH5E

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASU1kmnX50

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiawU3jVVjX

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGhcFJzYS4

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwj0wNlxeP

Zoey and the others left the room and I was the last to walk out. I didn't want to look at G-Dragon, but I did.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu67NmomHRj

We looked at each other 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rxREoHccG
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0rcdivprY
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc54p1gPap
Maybe he also felt the same.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXs35uuy7k

But I wouldn't know and I wouldn't like to know what he felt. I walked out of the studio, closing the door behind me.1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjzdvFH0af

I then realised that I 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OcyTkNb6c
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzvVBDHimI
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1071Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcHElVuIKe
another time.
