The water felt like a 939Please respect copyright.PENANAUIUO7i2yTC
safe haven and I didn't want to get out. For some reason, it felt so 939Please respect copyright.PENANAGn0AD8NPkJ
warm and nice. I didn't want to go above the surface and face all the 939Please respect copyright.PENANAiqrgG59mT7
troubles out there. But I couldn't stay in water forever. That's 939Please respect copyright.PENANARJtlhbj11E
obvious. I didn't want to die in here and sooner or later, I had to 939Please respect copyright.PENANAhD075Tpl3Q
breathe. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAYPHbAH0bzm
I pushed myself upwards 939Please respect copyright.PENANAdoaPn30JSI
and my head stuck out of the water's surface. I took in a deep breath of939Please respect copyright.PENANAW097B7ONeq
fresh air and I shook my head to shake the water out of my eyes. I 939Please respect copyright.PENANA9jNITEN8ZZ
opened my eyes fully and as I looked around the pool, I swam to the 939Please respect copyright.PENANAauAtSHSq7y
edge.939Please respect copyright.PENANABQ3wW1U1v3
When I finally got myself out, I saw Hyo-rin, Seungri and TOP run towards me. Taeyang and Daesung also appeared.939Please respect copyright.PENANAYYGVOORZGG
"Sam, are you okay?" Hyo-rin asked, when she got closer.939Please respect copyright.PENANAavepRMuznA
"I've never been better," I answered as I looked at myself.939Please respect copyright.PENANAbylNjT0sLq
I looked ridiculously 939Please respect copyright.PENANA9ieyyesVda
wet, that's for sure. My clothes felt so heavy. I pulled out my phone 939Please respect copyright.PENANALP0UJpMLKF
from the pocket and it was all wet and ruined. I sucked my teeth in 939Please respect copyright.PENANAa08kowjU3G
irritation. So much for having a cool fancy iPhone only to find it 939Please respect copyright.PENANAsT88kI2E9W
taking a dive with you into the water. I put my phone back in my wet 939Please respect copyright.PENANA3gstAbjo7X
pocket. My day couldn't get any better than this.939Please respect copyright.PENANAMt1rvgNb5R
I looked around me and 939Please respect copyright.PENANA2wClnLV2S4
luckily, the little drama I had had with G-Dragon at the top of the 939Please respect copyright.PENANA8uIqKu1YXr
rocks, hadn't caught so many people's attention, but only to a few of 939Please respect copyright.PENANANWV9Ibp7g0
those who were in the same pool I had fallen in. That was a relief. The 939Please respect copyright.PENANAHV1hVXbKuo
last thing I wanted was to look embarrassed in front of the whole world.939Please respect copyright.PENANALnJagXke4K
"You need a towel," said TOP. "You're soaking wet, and you need a change of clothes too."939Please respect copyright.PENANAGkprMR1c7v
"No need," I said as I started to remove my wet sneakers and water poured out of them. "We've to go."939Please respect copyright.PENANA0fos00JOgV
I heard Zoey and the 939Please respect copyright.PENANApK71yofbQi
others' laughter and cheering on the other side of the pool. I looked on939Please respect copyright.PENANA5X8IJV2ksm
and I saw the others approach G-Dragon after he climbed down the rocks.939Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8xc05pAKx
They surrounded and cheered for him as though he was a hero. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAhLl382bmtA
"Sam?" I heard Taeyang's939Please respect copyright.PENANANt9UeMBMQY
voice as he held my shoulder. "You don't look okay at all. And you 939Please respect copyright.PENANAyG81S3MDf6
really need a change of clothes or else you're going to catch a cold."939Please respect copyright.PENANArOQPyU4IiZ
"I already told you, I'm939Please respect copyright.PENANAeTV2Xu2XYG
fine," I said as I slowly brushed off Taeyang's hand from my shoulder. I939Please respect copyright.PENANAfOsS1rgUy8
didn't want to be rude, but I was so not in the mood for consolation 939Please respect copyright.PENANAkMB5n4CJ8P
from anyone.939Please respect copyright.PENANAhnAB1Tjs2V
I made my way towards GD939Please respect copyright.PENANAtGH8L74fDN
and the others, while they were chattering on with excitement over what939Please respect copyright.PENANAlcJxVI733J
had happened. Hyo-rin and the rest followed behind me. As the Toxins 939Please respect copyright.PENANAXLOofzizG0
and G-Dragon saw me approach them, Zoey came forward.939Please respect copyright.PENANAPu15MSjpxG
"Oh, man, Sam," said 939Please respect copyright.PENANAMgF0uQ5qBd
Zoey, with a ridiculous smile on her face. "You should really see 939Please respect copyright.PENANA7Kjg1s5yq1
yourself. Sorry for all that, but we had to add a little spice to the 939Please respect copyright.PENANAMO0yQfRZ1M
game. Hope you didn't mind."939Please respect copyright.PENANAO1jOgTM7rU
"Can we just go back to YG?" I asked, with no hint of emotion on my face. "I've had a long day."939Please respect copyright.PENANANWceK6IHgT
"Go back to YG?" Zoey asked with a surprised look on her face. "I thought we were going back to the hotel."939Please respect copyright.PENANAi9ysOHk00d
"I told you, our 939Please respect copyright.PENANAqNg63MSNAj
managers need us back there. And as usual, you never listen to me." I 939Please respect copyright.PENANA2Mo2f4OTrb
rolled my eyes as I soon remembered something. "Speaking of our 939Please respect copyright.PENANAT7rMGtBqRi
managers, Daesung, may I use your phone, please?" I looked over at 939Please respect copyright.PENANA9yMQPGKPjL
Daesung.939Please respect copyright.PENANAUgkxT71y7D
"Ya, sure," said Daesung, as he gave it to me.939Please respect copyright.PENANA8CpY69HTSj
I dialled Lee's number 939Please respect copyright.PENANADLkYRN9dQe
and I placed the phone to my ear. The Toxins and G-Dragon looked on at 939Please respect copyright.PENANAS3TtBfSqzn
me, clueless. They were obviously wondering why I was making a call. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAG9jdztyUjp
They would know soon enough.939Please respect copyright.PENANAiEX2s6glBU
"Hello?" came Lee's voice at the other end of the line.939Please respect copyright.PENANALly2srEhIw
"Lee, it's Sam," I answered.939Please respect copyright.PENANAjkbnZN8FKT
"Sam, thank goodness, you called. Did you find them?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAHTMgIvTAPL
"Ya, I found them," I said, as I looked on at the culprits in front of me. "Do our managers know anything?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAGZi91UnzDc
"No, not yet. But you 939Please respect copyright.PENANASm5MV3d18W
better get back here quick. I can't keep them locked up much longer. And939Please respect copyright.PENANAPffYsGqJgy
the press have been waiting for you, so you better hurry."939Please respect copyright.PENANAabtJFDB2kP
"We'll be there in thirty minutes."939Please respect copyright.PENANA4UyURte8Cr
"Okay, I'll be waiting."939Please respect copyright.PENANAnFcDHPthZi
I cut the call and gave Daesung his phone back.939Please respect copyright.PENANA4TInZIpebS
"Wait, Sam, what's going on?" Daniel asked. "Why were you talking to Lee? Is something wrong?"939Please respect copyright.PENANA3owkaCu2Be
"Everything is wrong," I answered, trying to keep my cool. "I'll tell you later. We better go now."939Please respect copyright.PENANAWgKCTt1kIN
"At least tell us what's going on," said Christine. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAUuD3XCcIWz
"It's best we get to YG first," said Seungri. "We're wasting a lot of time here."939Please respect copyright.PENANAXSj7reNQ2x
"Come on. You heard Seungri, we don't have much time," I said.939Please respect copyright.PENANApiuqlIQxlR
"But you better change your clothes first," said Zoey. "You know you easily catch a cold. At least get a towel to dry yourself."939Please respect copyright.PENANAb0oDx3dDL2
I shook my head. I was 939Please respect copyright.PENANANFYgYwBS4H
really on the edge of losing my temper. But I quickly took in a deep 939Please respect copyright.PENANAY3rc4D2Pf8
breath and started to walk away from the pool and the others in my bare 939Please respect copyright.PENANAhqM3duTYSL
wet feet and carrying my wet sneakers.939Please respect copyright.PENANAc2bdXKVqd2
After walking a few feet939Please respect copyright.PENANAn9wOQ7lOSU
away, I looked behind me and the others just stared at me, with 939Please respect copyright.PENANACOKCt5F5U3
surprised and confused looks on their faces. The last thing I wanted was939Please respect copyright.PENANAsSc2y7mYbs
for them to just stand there because they would end up grabbing other 939Please respect copyright.PENANAHF5M9XV3kI
people's attention which I was highly trying to avoid.939Please respect copyright.PENANAWSywfmNxQv
"Aren't you coming or are you going to run off so that I go looking for you again?" I asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAZEeZY7mJqc
None of them answered as939Please respect copyright.PENANAC6xkIC2bxw
they all started walking towards me and walked past heading for the 939Please respect copyright.PENANABQQi8BkccY
exit. I stayed for a few minutes from where I stood as I watched them 939Please respect copyright.PENANAB2Pc4LGbLl
go, except for TOP, who came to stand beside me.939Please respect copyright.PENANAXK9bsV3XD7
"Don't say a word, please," I said as I turned to look at him.939Please respect copyright.PENANAkXscRX3q4X
"I wasn't going to say 939Please respect copyright.PENANAj5XnBukRgI
anything, apparently," said TOP. "I know you're angry and the last thing939Please respect copyright.PENANAog7GnIPaDb
you would want to hear from me is advice."939Please respect copyright.PENANA159bhHbWgG
I turned to look the other way as I now felt a little guilty. 939Please respect copyright.PENANALEj3Qvnbt4
"Was I harsh on them?" I asked quietly.939Please respect copyright.PENANAjDrbfzc5HP
"To be honest, you did the best you could not to let your anger get the best of you."939Please respect copyright.PENANAssgDEnGdP5
"I'm still upset, though."939Please respect copyright.PENANAzB7wtlWB2E
"And that's normal. They will understand. You're human too."939Please respect copyright.PENANA6T13XiB6fP
"Thanks, TOP." I said, trying to put up a smile. "Sorry for being harsh on you earlier."939Please respect copyright.PENANA443fvBpZDo
"It's okay. You guys go on ahead. I'll go get changed and I'll catch up with you later."939Please respect copyright.PENANAbvQf8lNeQD
I gave TOP an assuring 939Please respect copyright.PENANAozd3WbHnZN
nod and he gave me a pat on my shoulder and walked away. I was on my way939Please respect copyright.PENANA6qMLvp54k2
again and I found myself outside the indoor water park. I saw the 939Please respect copyright.PENANAdEIRYENzg0
others ahead of me and I kept my distance. I was still soaking wet and I939Please respect copyright.PENANAXVjxsdhx60
started to shiver. It was now in the afternoon but the sun still didn't939Please respect copyright.PENANANByi6Xacnc
seem to warm me up as I expected it to. It was hot, yes, but I still 939Please respect copyright.PENANAbHgItw0MAC
felt cold because of my dripping clothes.939Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ1ABMO7em
We all found ourselves 939Please respect copyright.PENANAZH15wTd7XU
back at the back gate of the water park. I found G-Dragon and the Toxins939Please respect copyright.PENANAZOjI4wI0jh
all settled in G-Dragon's car. Daesung, Seungri, Hyo-rin and Taeyang 939Please respect copyright.PENANA60vZ6am8GT
were waiting for me. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAKXtZrfVmNR
"Hey, Sam, you don't 939Please respect copyright.PENANAm5qWqKwU63
mind if I ride along with you, Daesung and Seungri, do you?" Hyo-rin 939Please respect copyright.PENANAZwvtoMP2y9
asked as she approached me to keep the others out of ear shot.939Please respect copyright.PENANAx9vIYhrB78
"I'll ride with Tae, he shouldn't be alone," I said, giving Hyo-rin a small smile. "Don't worry about it."939Please respect copyright.PENANAw5utmUi8iW
Hyo-rin gave me a kind 939Please respect copyright.PENANAljls133J8L
smile and I looked on as she settled in with Daesung and Seungri in the 939Please respect copyright.PENANATGHOPUj6py
car. G-Dragon's car took off first, then Daesung's. I continued to watch939Please respect copyright.PENANAnDvr0O4xaq
on as the two cars left the premises and all I did was stand in the 939Please respect copyright.PENANAYgxTpJIrkq
sun, trying to take in the warmth, but still shivering like a leaf.939Please respect copyright.PENANA05nBtnPKwy
I had my eyes closed 939Please respect copyright.PENANAygo1iVVdmn
when I felt something warm on my shoulders. I opened my eyes and I found939Please respect copyright.PENANADIhbbv6rou
Taeyang wrap his warm coat around me.939Please respect copyright.PENANAzYoHgTDwcF
"You're really shivering," said Taeyang. "Let's hope you don't get..."939Please respect copyright.PENANAUlT82bD0Wt
Before he could finish his sentence, I sneezed.939Please respect copyright.PENANAQLlUJptQ2T
"....a cold," said Taeyang, rolling his eyes at me. "Nice one, Sam. Now our managers will get pissed for sure."939Please respect copyright.PENANAQVusvvyomO
"Don't worry, it's just a small sneeze," I said as I sniffed. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."939Please respect copyright.PENANA2zLm5r2MdR
"Let's hope so. Come on, we better get going."939Please respect copyright.PENANAJZsgfDdx75
Taeyang led me to his 939Please respect copyright.PENANA50HmQOoQ0I
car and he helped me open the door to the passenger's seat. We were on 939Please respect copyright.PENANAgmo4dxOJZY
the road in no time, and as I sat in the car, I still felt cold that 939Please respect copyright.PENANAfNFkcg8VcF
Taeyang had to turn the heater on.939Please respect copyright.PENANA0RM0hjAgZX
In about thirty minutes,939Please respect copyright.PENANA192KrM5lsm
we were back in Seoul and back in the YG premises. I found the others 939Please respect copyright.PENANAYII3lIoEMW
all waiting for us at the front entrance of the building. Taeyang and I 939Please respect copyright.PENANA2L8HLuMcBk
got out of the car and walked up to them. I led them in, still barefoot 939Please respect copyright.PENANAWwTd0xgKEW
and surprisingly at the same time, Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and Lee 939Please respect copyright.PENANAwLlV8XsY18
appeared out of the elevator.939Please respect copyright.PENANAWYbgNXYEWS
"Where have you guys been?" Collins asked, as they approached us. "And why do you look so wet, Sam?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAPFj3xi0Tjx
"We went to Caribbean Bay," I answered.939Please respect copyright.PENANA5aAmw2kyaq
Lee who stood behind 939Please respect copyright.PENANASAi5ZpkJx1
Collins gave me a funny startled look. She probably thought I was going 939Please respect copyright.PENANAbNv8TQdGsN
to make up some kind of a lie to cover up for the others. But I had 939Please respect copyright.PENANAwgERZf1o81
other things in mind.939Please respect copyright.PENANAwB95yGaP5h
"Caribbean Bay?" Yang Hyun-suk looked surprised. "We had things to sort out here and you went to have fun?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAmXgLqGvj55
Yang Hyun-suk sounded a 939Please respect copyright.PENANAC8mY8wjBSG
little harsh and the rest of us were quiet. I could feel the atmosphere 939Please respect copyright.PENANA4nN5uzjsaO
behind me grow tense as no one said a word.939Please respect copyright.PENANAVx0k6yBWm0
"Well, is anyone going to say anything?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAbo34ZKkP3g
"We didn't just go there to have fun," I said, with my head down. "If there's anyone to blame for all this, it's me."939Please respect copyright.PENANA9E0LsNfpOe
There was an awkward 939Please respect copyright.PENANAA594UL3T8B
silence as I felt all eyes on me. Their eyes felt like piercing needles,939Please respect copyright.PENANANuY33I6p6p
but I had to ignore the feeling and carry on.939Please respect copyright.PENANAmpFhxuvuKd
"What do you mean?" Collins asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAwCW26LuROf
"Well, I hear the press 939Please respect copyright.PENANAT5xV5W5BCr
are here," said Sam. "And I bet they are here over the video of G-Dragon939Please respect copyright.PENANAQv8DKFpOaQ
and I. I'll tell you everything from there."939Please respect copyright.PENANAcVCqU9KBFg
"That won't be 939Please respect copyright.PENANA1oCSndeuKl
necessary," said Yang Hyun-suk. "We can do all of that tomorrow or some 939Please respect copyright.PENANAV6UN2rYSM1
other day. You look all beat and I don't think it will be appropriate to939Please respect copyright.PENANAH9xTx2Ixz0
go to the press looking all wet."939Please respect copyright.PENANAroc0Rxuamz
I breathed out a sigh of939Please respect copyright.PENANACidYEsDkmo
relief. Things were simply going the way I thought they would. I just 939Please respect copyright.PENANAdOIhW5KPMv
hoped that what I was going to do next would work out too.939Please respect copyright.PENANA53Tf0EEXuo
"In the meantime, you go939Please respect copyright.PENANAh0w0sDH31V
to the hotel and get freshened up," said Collins. "We will talk later 939Please respect copyright.PENANAj1ZK8rUrKp
on in the evening and you will tell us all about it."939Please respect copyright.PENANAEpZ9VdFDtG
I nodded my head in 939Please respect copyright.PENANAIyKPTDu6DN
agreement. Well, that was a relief. I seriously needed a change of 939Please respect copyright.PENANANik60mxXFX
clothes as I felt myself shiver vigorously.939Please respect copyright.PENANASaLQZZ5EMZ
"Come, I'll drive you to the hotel," said Taeyang.939Please respect copyright.PENANAzkzoiajeDF
"Alright," I said 939Please respect copyright.PENANAzpnaSbxHt0
quietly, as I looked up at Lee. She seemed really frightened. The last 939Please respect copyright.PENANAAGTBpAQj66
thing she wanted was for all of us to get into trouble and it seems like939Please respect copyright.PENANAvRgaZUDxmA
I was only making things worse.939Please respect copyright.PENANAL9DnkOEgAx
Before I turned to leave939Please respect copyright.PENANAln6qS6Ln6w
with the rest of the group, I gave Lee a wink, assuring her that 939Please respect copyright.PENANAM8M23V737B
everything was going to be alright and that she should trust me on this 939Please respect copyright.PENANAofqJWUmfi5
one.939Please respect copyright.PENANAFBj7U3WXJI
***939Please respect copyright.PENANAR3PG0Mycfr
I sat on the couch all 939Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9Bq4bhVjr
wrapped up in a blanket, coughing and sniffing like crazy as I continued939Please respect copyright.PENANAwRr5MFhMxC
staring at the TV. I was watching a K-drama series, "Boys over flowers"939Please respect copyright.PENANAQVyIlYCY4w
and I was really enjoying it, despite being down with a cold. 939Please respect copyright.PENANA6sab60VWrd
I had a box of paper 939Please respect copyright.PENANA1m0mlSX4i7
tissues right beside me and a plastic containing the ones I had blown my939Please respect copyright.PENANAmiQXN62hpA
nose on on my other side. Disgusting, I know, but hey, it was only a 939Please respect copyright.PENANA6ikg4jWj5G
cold and there was nothing I could do about it.939Please respect copyright.PENANAB4jklclcMZ
I continued watching the939Please respect copyright.PENANAplneoHQLdY
series when the waiter came in to bring in my warm chicken soup and 939Please respect copyright.PENANAhiPyZ47RAe
announced that Taeyang had come to see me.939Please respect copyright.PENANAjOfwHr1BeV
"Hey, how are you doing?" Taeyang asked after the waiter gave me the soup and left while he came in.939Please respect copyright.PENANAKQTPMy0z2M
"Never better," I said, 939Please respect copyright.PENANAjU3E5BUxJE
sounding funny with a blocked nose. "Take a seat, please. Not too close 939Please respect copyright.PENANAcZig6jJvYJ
to me though, I don't want you to catch my cold."939Please respect copyright.PENANApQeCgaXUwA
"I wasn't even going to try," Taeyang took a couch right next to mine, but far away from me as possible.939Please respect copyright.PENANAaKYGsGCTny
"So, watching k-drama, huh?" Taeyang asked as he looked at the flat screen TV on the wall.939Please respect copyright.PENANAeGY347t5Wh
"Ya, I'm actually enjoying it," I said as I put in a spoonful of chicken soup in my mouth. Mmm, it was so tasty.939Please respect copyright.PENANAAFX2WoCsLm
"And the others?" 939Please respect copyright.PENANAXt6TB4EsTu
When Taeyang meant the "others," I knew he meant The Toxins. I just rolled my eyes and continued staring at the TV.939Please respect copyright.PENANA7hmiE8e4fw
"As usual, they went for practise two hours ago," I answered, not sounding like I cared.939Please respect copyright.PENANAbUimkwo8pD
"Are you still mad at them?" Taeyang asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAcN2vZxf7ap
I got the remote and paused the TV. I couldn't catch up with reading the subtitles and Taeyang's question just confused me.939Please respect copyright.PENANArLTiLTEmPA
"I don't know," I said, staring at my soup.939Please respect copyright.PENANAIzA8uiCJ7C
"You don't know or you are?"939Please respect copyright.PENANATC1MY3qyMN
I shrugged my shoulders. To be completely honest, I am still mad, but then again, I felt like I wasn't and that felt confusing.939Please respect copyright.PENANAjHCGbnMF2E
"I don't know, Tae," I 939Please respect copyright.PENANAx9zBavMrxz
answered. "I'm still upset with all of them, but another part of me is 939Please respect copyright.PENANAZETo8Vp5Cu
telling me that I won't stay that way for long and I should just try to 939Please respect copyright.PENANALiOorPJv9f
forget all that happened yesterday."939Please respect copyright.PENANAHLpBhiQKrt
"Ya, I understand. They 939Please respect copyright.PENANAMZyr3xEuxy
never listened to you and you had to carry on with their game. And in 939Please respect copyright.PENANAFKYowIO0bi
the end, you take the blame because you knew how angry our managers were939Please respect copyright.PENANAtrEAJjoyl5
going to get."939Please respect copyright.PENANALZvfYrvM54
I looked on at Taeyang 939Please respect copyright.PENANATzz7TgSnPb
as I sniffed. He was right. Yesterday was tough, and coming up with a 939Please respect copyright.PENANAWKOqOQgNsS
plan to help the others get out of trouble was even tougher when you 939Please respect copyright.PENANA21TDuIPUie
know you weren't only dealing with Collins, but also with Yang Hyun-suk 939Please respect copyright.PENANAyoN0Ae5eBS
who was as tough as nails.939Please respect copyright.PENANAYmIq9xDgBU
Last night, I took the 939Please respect copyright.PENANAPz0cVUN1pD
blame and told our two managers that I was the one who decided that we 939Please respect copyright.PENANAclW664X679
should all go out and the others had nothing to do with it. I told them 939Please respect copyright.PENANAngDLRPCvJU
that the others had insisted on working on the song, but I was the one 939Please respect copyright.PENANA8wmAgsumMH
who objected and made everyone do whatever they wanted. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAOXa01q8JLt
Apparently, the managers939Please respect copyright.PENANApZGKWUzbbA
weren't that mad at me at all. If I hadn't lied on their part, they 939Please respect copyright.PENANALERzDIZEe5
would've been way mad at the others instead. They were glad I had bought939Please respect copyright.PENANAEd16JVeOgC
these guys back on time without creating much of a scene on social 939Please respect copyright.PENANAns5b0v1iuf
media. Luckily, only a few people had taken pictures of us. Most people 939Please respect copyright.PENANARLf09nn6DR
on social media were even surprised that BigBang and The Toxins were at 939Please respect copyright.PENANAHn3Q7bLrrf
Caribbean Bay. Well, at least my plan worked out. What I was truly 939Please respect copyright.PENANASwBJT7RRWG
avoiding, was grabbing too much attention from our fans, the paparazzi 939Please respect copyright.PENANAe1ETK8t7jZ
and the reporters.939Please respect copyright.PENANAlyUxnbW6xJ
After my confrontation 939Please respect copyright.PENANAyKNGkH0maP
with our managers, I went straight to bed without talking to anyone and I939Please respect copyright.PENANAdiVG6MtOH2
didn't have supper. One, I was totally beat from all that had happened,939Please respect copyright.PENANAq2a0AtUAtB
and two, I just didn't feel like talking to anyone.939Please respect copyright.PENANADQq7WneX56
"Huh, I guess am still upset," I said, as I took in another spoon of soup in my mouth. "Especially after what GD did to me."939Please respect copyright.PENANAnRhC4zp9kY
"Ya, what happened was kind of dramatic," said Taeyang.939Please respect copyright.PENANAKfMXkCnH1D
"You saw that?" I looked surprised. "I thought you came later on when I fell into the pool."939Please respect copyright.PENANAnyS84VM1bW
"No, Daesung and I arrived when you got to the top."939Please respect copyright.PENANAwfboA4SBXb
"Oh," I sniffed and coughed. "Ya, it was kind of dramatic."939Please respect copyright.PENANA8UsPoGJE5f
"Have you tried talking to GD?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAaIq9Bd0KwQ
"To be honest, I haven't939Please respect copyright.PENANA9EXCwhbLDs
even tried. I don't even want to see nor talk to him. I would probably 939Please respect copyright.PENANAXsPQkyuv5F
slap him in the face if I see him."939Please respect copyright.PENANA2jBdwflSbY
"I don't doubt that."939Please respect copyright.PENANADa8jg5OGH6
"And thank goodness my 939Please respect copyright.PENANAhoEtyTS7qy
new phone isn't coming in until late in the afternoon. I wouldn't like 939Please respect copyright.PENANAWraUFWQRG0
anyone calling me trying to tell me how sorry they are. Right now, all I939Please respect copyright.PENANAqBgyppnBWG
want to do is watch some TV."939Please respect copyright.PENANAXwEjbGGs97
I quickly drank my 939Please respect copyright.PENANAvcfynUCIPo
chicken soup from the bowl. And my goodness, the cooks here really knew 939Please respect copyright.PENANAFai1Swj5B9
how to make lovely soup. I would probably order for it again if I had 939Please respect copyright.PENANAsbHhPeKbYw
to.939Please respect copyright.PENANACInrrrwiRh
"So, how are you and Hyo-rin?" I asked, after putting the bowl aside.939Please respect copyright.PENANAkqnbRILbxb
"Still not talking to each other," Taeyang amswered as he leaned back on the couch and stared at the ceiling.939Please respect copyright.PENANAU8Fc0w3Yge
"Looks like I'm not the only one not talking to people, aren't I?"939Please respect copyright.PENANA0txm9Xcrzp
"Nope."939Please respect copyright.PENANA4Yhv9yY2jy
I stared at Taeyang as he continued to look at the ceiling as I thought of what to say or ask next.939Please respect copyright.PENANAZfwGdmuL6p
"What really happened to you two yesterday?" I asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAgeUzRqccXa
Taeyang didn't say 939Please respect copyright.PENANADj80BFVwdy
anything at first. Then he breathed out heavily and said, "what happened939Please respect copyright.PENANAu3nsDulKrX
to us happens to every other couple, Sam."939Please respect copyright.PENANAa9AVX490y0
"I know you fought or 939Please respect copyright.PENANAyEtCpUrVjE
probably had an argument. I just want to know what it was all about. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAhnoAihu8nK
That's if you're willing to tell me. I won't push you if you don't."939Please respect copyright.PENANAguLYsJORYu
I noticed Taeyang smile 939Please respect copyright.PENANAKfqDVQhWq2
while he continued to look upwards. It was probably over what I had 939Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ6WhOE5l9
said. I was not one who liked to push people over talking about their 939Please respect copyright.PENANA4YU7kRHHfk
problems. I wasn't like Zoey who always got away with such things.939Please respect copyright.PENANAFykd8bHEPB
"Aren't you going to say anything?" I asked Taeyang who continued to smile.939Please respect copyright.PENANAsuIDmDaf8l
"I'm just wondering why some things you wish for never come to pass."939Please respect copyright.PENANAbK9qFuEdgF
I raised an eyebrow this time around. Was he diverting the question or was he talking in riddles now?939Please respect copyright.PENANAmJx82ahGNC
"I thought I was the only one who is sick today," I said rolling eyes.939Please respect copyright.PENANA0kOCni7WOE
"Don't mind what I just said," said Taeyang, as he looked at me. "It's nothing."939Please respect copyright.PENANAyUCc0Xndgj
"Mmm, figured. If you don't want to say anything, it's fine by.."939Please respect copyright.PENANAjJpjKK81RJ
Before I could finish my939Please respect copyright.PENANAS6hLDfCGkL
sentence, I sneezed. Like, really loud. There was silence at first 939Please respect copyright.PENANAV80rmijZ0O
until Taeyang started laughing at me while I blew my nose with a tissue.939Please respect copyright.PENANA0svz9GRvTN
"It's not funny, Tae," I said furrowing my eyebrows and threw the used up tissue in the plastic.939Please respect copyright.PENANAakWg8kGmKE
"You sound funny when you sneeze. That's why I laughed," said Taeyang, giving me his eye smile.939Please respect copyright.PENANA3PX6tzNmlU
"Well, it's good I made you laugh then. Just like me, you haven't been smiling at all since yesterday."939Please respect copyright.PENANAq31xwH9Lru
"Looks like the two of us really have a lot in common when things don't go our way."939Please respect copyright.PENANAAOd29ZWLWr
"Yep, cheers to that." 939Please respect copyright.PENANAV6U4DGgckt
"So, have you thought of any lyrics for the song yet?" Taeyang asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAAoDPWnHIu4
I slapped my face. I had completely forgot about the song since I was running up and down the whole of yesterday.939Please respect copyright.PENANA4HfLwbsLAX
"I completely forgot," I said, as I sniffed. "Weren't you guys supposed to work on it today?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAqzLomvtrvE
"We can't work on it without you," said Taeyang. "You and G-Dragon decided that the both of you would work on it together."939Please respect copyright.PENANAcRp5u4JhbR
"Don't mention his name because I feel like breaking something."939Please respect copyright.PENANAmNw5kDrAdm
"Wow, that sounds personal."939Please respect copyright.PENANA8rYGDJ87Ma
"Ya," I nodded my head. "It really is."939Please respect copyright.PENANABoKsUWOWK5
"Then how are the two of you going to work on the lyrics if you're still angry at him?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAXw85eSHMWg
"I think I've a better 939Please respect copyright.PENANAqdMpUZ0h0G
idea. Let's all just work on the song together. I may be the songwriter 939Please respect copyright.PENANA50JNFaeIcB
in my group, but I always give a chance for others to bring in their 939Please respect copyright.PENANA0NWs4GxozD
lyrics. It's better that way."939Please respect copyright.PENANAWdZniGIo1p
"That's not a bad idea. Aren't you going to tell GD about it?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAoEGsWdfH1W
"Uh, no. Until I'm no longer mad at him, you will have to act as my middle man."939Please respect copyright.PENANA3NML9aRvEG
"Me? Your middle man?" Taeyang burst into a fit of laughter. "That's going to be classic."939Please respect copyright.PENANAsEqnMslKyq
"You should be honoured. Most people would die just to be my middle man."939Please respect copyright.PENANAcbfjWsVUPc
"I wouldn't. FYI, I'm a pop star just like you and people would die just the same."939Please respect copyright.PENANAuBAOrRys0f
"Haha, good point."939Please respect copyright.PENANA4Zw6phmIGg
Taeyang and I continued 939Please respect copyright.PENANAf1NotxxbjE
to talk for a good thirty minutes and it was so much fun. I was glad he 939Please respect copyright.PENANAABqapuAhnV
came to see me because life tends to be boring sometimes when you're 939Please respect copyright.PENANAgIcd5zpbDB
alone. Apart from talking about the events that took place yesterday, we939Please respect copyright.PENANArYXuJEeTeh
talked about other fun things concerning our personal lives. Mostly 939Please respect copyright.PENANAvEJlRjgf1Z
focusing on the funny things that goes on whenever we were with your 939Please respect copyright.PENANAO2gLW1x5gj
group members. I mostly talked about Zoey, since she always creates 939Please respect copyright.PENANAmxsQam2JX2
drama in my life, while Taeyang talked about Seungri, who always got 939Please respect copyright.PENANAdzYnrmwjOS
into trouble since he was the "maknae" (막내) (youngest) in the group.939Please respect copyright.PENANAelaUIgl7lQ
While the two of us were939Please respect copyright.PENANA0Vn19YuVSv
laughing after Taeyang finished telling me a funny story about Seungri,939Please respect copyright.PENANAFmjnXmk8MT
I received a phone call from the hotel land line. 939Please respect copyright.PENANA4wBlYd8B5j
I quickly went over to 939Please respect copyright.PENANAvhMqJuDGQ7
the phone, trying to calm myself after laughing so much. Luckily, it was939Please respect copyright.PENANA9IM6fLwYvX
just the receptionist downstairs, informing me that Seungri and Daesung939Please respect copyright.PENANANqNAY1K3wR
had come to visit. I told the receptionist to tell them that they could939Please respect copyright.PENANAGO58xfTx9O
come up and I put the receiver down.939Please respect copyright.PENANAZxm8QdVvOP
"Speaking of the devil," I said as I passed Taeyang, going back to my seat, "he is here with Daesung."939Please respect copyright.PENANA57eVYFS93t
"Seungri is here? Well, that's a surprise."939Please respect copyright.PENANANOlI8oauLe
"I'm not," I said shrugging my shoulders. "He's obviously here to check up on me, since he calls me his panda."939Please respect copyright.PENANA7md2uyEFKb
"Trust me, you're one of his many pandas," said Taeyang, as he smiled.939Please respect copyright.PENANAqU9d0Xrn70
"Shut up, Tae!" I threw a pillow at him and he blocked it as he raised his arm.939Please respect copyright.PENANAI8AEC4BNYd
"Eww, that pillow 939Please respect copyright.PENANAGeIrtQqqY8
probably has your germs on it," said Taeyang, as he disgustingly looked 939Please respect copyright.PENANAc6P5M9d1WQ
at the pillow I had thrown at him on the floor.939Please respect copyright.PENANAEMp2HcROua
"You're welcome," I said with a devious smile on my face.939Please respect copyright.PENANAdfWp1OLNtr
A few seconds later, we 939Please respect copyright.PENANA6Jcad56CVb
heard the sound of the elevator then Seungri and Daesung appeared into 939Please respect copyright.PENANAjoSzSXMpyg
the lounge. Seungri was holding a huge stuffed panda and Daesung was 939Please respect copyright.PENANA6MEmqE5CRc
holding a box of chocolates.939Please respect copyright.PENANAniZifpIROn
"Awww, is that for me?" I asked as I turned on the couch to face them.939Please respect copyright.PENANADUCHCtWzOL
"Ah, no, the panda is a 939Please respect copyright.PENANAL3A3CosqG8
very good friend of mine and just came along to see the famous B.K who 939Please respect copyright.PENANAwK6j2vd0so
is sick," said Seungri. Daesung and Taeyang burst out laughing at the 939Please respect copyright.PENANAC60p9V3k6I
same time.939Please respect copyright.PENANA08Gytm6hd2
"Very funny, Seungri," I said, as I frowned at him. "Give him to me, I want to hug him."939Please respect copyright.PENANARF3wPRCFE8
"And give him your cold? No ways," said Seungri, hugging and holding onto the panda.939Please respect copyright.PENANAScvsbAMG6L
"Do you really want me to come over there and fight for it?"939Please respect copyright.PENANA9RZIUWPLi5
"I would give the lady the panda if I were you, Seungri," said Taeyang. "You wouldn't want to see her nasty side."939Please respect copyright.PENANAZfihoyVtdV
"Hey, I don't have a nasty side," I said, as I looked at Taeyang.939Please respect copyright.PENANAKa4lIIeOwH
"Everybody has one," said Taeyang, shrugging his shoulders.939Please respect copyright.PENANAHycDlS5D7U
"Never mind that," said Daesung, "just give her the panda, Seungri."939Please respect copyright.PENANAGm2nxJ6mWx
"Really? But he'll be scared without me," said Seungri, still holding onto the panda.939Please respect copyright.PENANA830AD2sONo
"For goodness sake, I 939Please respect copyright.PENANAGar8Rdd5PG
know the panda is mine," I said. "And besides, we ladies are good with 939Please respect copyright.PENANA3OgHAgsTZo
handling cute and cuddly stuff. Mr Panda won't ever feel lonely or 939Please respect copyright.PENANA5nd6eRGxYp
scared with me."939Please respect copyright.PENANABycqLmMOst
"Ya, I know he won't," said Seungri with a smile as he walked over to me and gave me the panda.939Please respect copyright.PENANAh326yCGg8u
I took the panda in my 939Please respect copyright.PENANARhK2UcmYHE
arms and I hugged and cuddled it as though I was a little girl who just 939Please respect copyright.PENANAqt9su7k6ql
got her doll for the first time. It was so soft and fuzzy that for a 939Please respect copyright.PENANA2E9P8zuqZL
moment, it felt like a warm pillow I could sleep on. The new smell of 939Please respect copyright.PENANA6PAwULFF6L
the panda triggered my nose though, and I sneezed so loud, yet again.939Please respect copyright.PENANA1OtBmbcQ5P
"My goodness, Mr Panda would need a doctor," said Seungri. "You're gonna get him sick."939Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0XwlZvi3g
"He's officially mine now," I said as I sniffed. "We're going to be the best of besties."939Please respect copyright.PENANAfqPdnJ1lRQ
"Whatever, just take good care of him for me, okay?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAC37lS7mtU6
"I will," I said with a smile as I cuddled the panda in my arms.939Please respect copyright.PENANAzIiYLSGnNi
"I got you some chocolates," said Daesung, as he handed over the box of chocolates to me. "Every girl's favourite treat."939Please respect copyright.PENANAnvZguWyz8e
"Aww, thanks Daesung," I939Please respect copyright.PENANAXF7gyRTGw7
said as I smiled at him and I felt myself blush when I remembered what 939Please respect copyright.PENANASY9xWGTv36
happened between him and I yesterday at the park. "That's so sweet of 939Please respect copyright.PENANABwP8QgPphg
you. See, Seungri, you should be a little bit more like him."939Please respect copyright.PENANAkD3g3J0ZRp
"What did I do?" Seungri asked looking surprised. "I bought you a panda."939Please respect copyright.PENANAlTc3VvNaj1
"Never mind, come take a seat, please," I said. "It's good you two came to see me."939Please respect copyright.PENANATBy5xOaXf7
"Are you feeling any better?" Daesung asked as he and Seungri sat on the other couch opposite Taeyang.939Please respect copyright.PENANAL1KMzeBqvC
"Well, I'm not really feeling that sick," I said, as I sniffed. "I'll be fine tomorrow, you'll see."939Please respect copyright.PENANAZG38XibJgt
"I doubt that," Taeyang blurted out.939Please respect copyright.PENANAS4QUDA32Br
"Ah, put a sock in it, Tae!" I said angrily. "You really know how to make me feel bad."939Please respect copyright.PENANAv6o1hFmYEp
"Ya, I do."939Please respect copyright.PENANAkZ9sk1KOjv
While the four of us 939Please respect copyright.PENANAgHhZFuo4na
were chatting and Seungri kept on pulling funny faces at me every now 939Please respect copyright.PENANAG45M2uzKGs
and then, just to make me laugh, The Toxins arrived. At first I didn't 939Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZBDcObFEy
notice since I was laughing so much, until Daesung looked behind me and 939Please respect copyright.PENANAIwrb21xQDN
said:939Please respect copyright.PENANAqb4puj0WQT
"Hey, Zoey." 939Please respect copyright.PENANAh3x9kp6oo1
I stopped laughing automatically and I turned to looked behind me. Zoey was standing in the passage with her training bag. 939Please respect copyright.PENANARdufj3X4yz
"Hey," Zoey replied. "I was wondering why there was laughter when we came in."939Please respect copyright.PENANAzTQ2El6lU4
"We came to see how Sam was doing," said Taeyang.939Please respect copyright.PENANAxpnesJaWOE
"It's good you came to 939Please respect copyright.PENANAI69OfyxNfz
keep her company while we were gone." Zoey turned to look at me, but I 939Please respect copyright.PENANAwrxneAZM9N
quickly turned away, putting myself back in my usual position on the 939Please respect copyright.PENANA0sDRVNMqCn
couch.939Please respect copyright.PENANASnNCbyPxHn
"Hey, what's with all the laughter?" came Mike's voice. "Oh, you guys are here, that's great!"939Please respect copyright.PENANA2BJGhI6ySw
"Who's here?" Christine asked, also joining the others. "Hey, guys!"939Please respect copyright.PENANAqGyKvW9bQG
"Hey, how was practise?" Daesung asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAbXGjHTK2sh
"Tiring as usual," I heard Daniel reply. 939Please respect copyright.PENANA1JTTMbkMUE
"We will just put our stuff away and join you in a second," said Zoey.939Please respect copyright.PENANAPWMIKcd2yo
"Ya, please do, it will be so much fun," said Seungri.939Please respect copyright.PENANA6uocJGZSsA
I tugged at my panda's 939Please respect copyright.PENANALCMRJTLDj7
ear absentmindley as I felt Taeyang's eyes on me. I looked at him and it939Please respect copyright.PENANAklgvcQ1IJN
was obvious he could read my mind. I was still not in a mood to talking939Please respect copyright.PENANAYecpJG1Vi6
to the other Toxins, and I so much as wanted as to leave the room.939Please respect copyright.PENANA2ue69AHDsk
The Toxins came back to 939Please respect copyright.PENANAa7SAQeQbBu
the lounge area. Zoey sat next to me and I moved away from her as I held939Please respect copyright.PENANAkTL63NkeEG
my panda like it was the only thing that ever mattered to me. Christine939Please respect copyright.PENANAOCJ3vFJ2kM
went to join Seungri and Daesung, while Mike and Daniel joined Taeyang.939Please respect copyright.PENANARhjrMHNqfv
For a moment, no one 939Please respect copyright.PENANADCs5cne8Ze
said a word to each other. There was silence. As for me, I kept on 939Please respect copyright.PENANAnNtJxbtE5r
tugging at the panda's ear still not looking at Zoey.939Please respect copyright.PENANAJWvSu8liQs
"Oh, Sam, you've a panda," said Daniel, breaking the silence.939Please respect copyright.PENANApOxJLWMjjP
"Ah huh," I replied dully. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAHsedNgeSaX
"I got it for her," said Seungri, with a smile.939Please respect copyright.PENANA2FhTs6IaMd
"Aww, it's so cute," said Christine. "You should get me one just like that someday."939Please respect copyright.PENANAtYhw0i2XDz
I stared up at the 939Please respect copyright.PENANAC771du0ytt
ceiling and then at the panda. I got the box of chocolates that were 939Please respect copyright.PENANABsqVD7C2Pd
next to me, opened it and put a piece of chocolate in my mouth.939Please respect copyright.PENANA4FhlBxIQYp
"And she also has chocolates too," said Zoey. "I also want some."939Please respect copyright.PENANAp4ks4z8gUP
When Zoey tried to reach939Please respect copyright.PENANA3vfDDiAuYI
out for chocolates, I lifted the box and took it to my other side to 939Please respect copyright.PENANA9eEKdSkrTa
prevent her from getting any. I looked at her as I furrowed my eyebrows.939Please respect copyright.PENANAzAaZZp13a9
"Sorry, I should have asked," said Zoey.939Please respect copyright.PENANAyn1crVgbiF
"Ya, you should have!" I snapped at her.939Please respect copyright.PENANAFAJn2Ce8T4
Zoey looked hurt with 939Please respect copyright.PENANAxHIvXH6Ytk
the way I responded to her, but at the moment, it didn't even matter. I 939Please respect copyright.PENANACvlG6tBjHT
turned to face the other way sucking at the chocolate in my mouth.939Please respect copyright.PENANA5bA0eBY39c
"Are you still mad at us?" Zoey asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAhGEUbwqJ94
I didn't answer as I put939Please respect copyright.PENANA68TuDEW0je
another piece of chocolate in mouth. My silence was an obvious answer. I939Please respect copyright.PENANAwo91p5MhdK
was still mad, especially at Zoey.939Please respect copyright.PENANAReuMw1xU4M
"I know it's a little 939Please respect copyright.PENANAmjNaq41OFF
late to say this," started Zoey. "But we're really sorry for what 939Please respect copyright.PENANAaiqn1lPG5y
happened yesterday. Yes, we didn't listen to you as always and we're 939Please respect copyright.PENANAChP7e8n4kq
sorry for that too. You even took the blame for us. And I know it 939Please respect copyright.PENANAr47e6yguaB
doesn't look like we appreciate what you do for us, but we really do. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAcFVRNlg3bd
You've saved our necks a number of times before from Collins, but this 939Please respect copyright.PENANAeEhYZRArBM
time you had to deal with Yang Hyun-suk too."939Please respect copyright.PENANAiSs8DywuyU
I stared at the ceiling as I sucked at the chocolate in my mouth as though I wasn't listening.939Please respect copyright.PENANAIY3CIZ0eL0
"I don't like it when 939Please respect copyright.PENANAEFOPp7rsCU
you're not talking to me," Zoey continued. "And last night when you 939Please respect copyright.PENANAYaEMRWPn8O
didn't say a word, I knew you were going to give us the silent 939Please respect copyright.PENANAHxRny7WeOt
treatment. You know you're my best friend and my only source of 939Please respect copyright.PENANA6bnGCE3hYH
happiness everyday. You know I'm not myself without you. I'm really 939Please respect copyright.PENANA5FJlxW9NPt
sorry, Sam."939Please respect copyright.PENANAxYWy04Je3U
"We're all sorry, Sam," said Daniel. "I know you're hurt real bad because of our silly actions yesterday."939Please respect copyright.PENANAMO7WniLGK9
"I'm sorry too," said 939Please respect copyright.PENANAsNANxDJT37
Mike. "I should have acted like the responsible one, but we all know 939Please respect copyright.PENANAN3MtOZLD6R
that's not the case. You really saved us yesterday and all we want is 939Please respect copyright.PENANACb83Ovh2Mc
for you to talk to us again."939Please respect copyright.PENANAkIsypliktx
"I'm also sorry, Sam," 939Please respect copyright.PENANA9IREMsXSLU
said Christine. "We might say 'we won't do it again,' but we keep on 939Please respect copyright.PENANAqVitx5RIo2
doing the same thing. We can't do anything without you. You're our 939Please respect copyright.PENANAPVT0f11OEA
leader."939Please respect copyright.PENANAxcAkhnAkWD
I still didn't say a 939Please respect copyright.PENANANQL6Uh7yNp
word to them as I continued to stare upwards. I knew it would come to 939Please respect copyright.PENANARpN0f3fYni
this, them saying that they were sorry. My hatred for them wasn't going 939Please respect copyright.PENANAare4ivofxY
to last forever and I knew that very well. They were family and I loved 939Please respect copyright.PENANAAKYTzRAaO8
them despite the awful things they put me through.939Please respect copyright.PENANApgUfWJrLtd
"Aren't you going to say something, Sam?" Taeyang asked. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAEqc0JhzQ2P
"And what should I say?" I asked. "They know completely well that I can't stay mad at them forever, so...."939Please respect copyright.PENANAyyk5MqF0Vd
"Wait, you're not mad any more?" Zoey asked, with a little hint of excitement in her voice.939Please respect copyright.PENANAub73ELgYVG
I sighed deeply and I turned to face Zoey. And I each gave the other Toxins a look as well.939Please respect copyright.PENANAN6DnXiFlz5
"I'm mad and pretty much939Please respect copyright.PENANA24kiBmS3hV
angry with all of you," I said. "But it's obvious I can never stay mad 939Please respect copyright.PENANASRylsAvPR6
at you forever. So, yes, I forgive you."939Please respect copyright.PENANA1cjEsLxkHR
"Seriously, you mean it?" Daniel asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAegVFphHW16
I sniffed and said, "ya, I mean it."939Please respect copyright.PENANAkdlDd6ETDs
"Aww, I love you, Sam!" Zoey exclaimed as she tried to come close to hug me.939Please respect copyright.PENANAiy0lXU2A0w
"Whoa! Back up!" I said 939Please respect copyright.PENANAzOYsm82UZg
with my hands raised to stop her from getting any closer to me. "I've a 939Please respect copyright.PENANAo499jEUH2S
cold. Just because I forgive you, doesn't mean you can hug me."939Please respect copyright.PENANA3O6TgKBNC8
"Ah, you! Always acting 939Please respect copyright.PENANAkGO6WETzoo
like you don't want a hug. Come here!" Zoey wrapped her arms around me 939Please respect copyright.PENANACE1KDF7eXx
and hugged me. "Your cold isn't that contagious and I don't care if I 939Please respect copyright.PENANAmYhP0TGBbm
catch it anyway."939Please respect copyright.PENANAeEzNd7k1XJ
Christine, Daniel and 939Please respect copyright.PENANAenJJT7DgH2
Mike also came over and we were all hugging each other on the couch. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAum8QSOaQOi
Even the panda got caught up in the hug. It was kind of nice and I 939Please respect copyright.PENANAuYFZsFsym6
smiled. I completely wasn't mad at them any more, that's for certain.939Please respect copyright.PENANAb1aoJoS1iL
"Aww, let me take a pic of this beautiful moment," said Deasung as he pulled out his phone and took a photo.939Please respect copyright.PENANAKrROINn2Om
"I'm glad you guys finally resolved things ," said Taeyang.939Please respect copyright.PENANA9YAb8eF39h
"Ya, I'm glad we did," I said, as I felt my nose twitch. "Can you guys please stop hugging me, I'm about to...."939Please respect copyright.PENANAT9AKBvuomC
I sneezed and the other Toxins quickly withdrew their arms around me and looked on as though I was contagious.939Please respect copyright.PENANAiJUdlxGD94
"Excuse me," I said as I got a tissue and blew my nose. "I just can't help myself."939Please respect copyright.PENANAYnFUlAoiAb
"Don't worry, you won't 939Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9fMDu881r
help yourself laughing once you see this pic," said Daesung, as he 939Please respect copyright.PENANA9lyXpJ0kXN
looked at his phone with a smile on his face.939Please respect copyright.PENANAHhoCCKkjNt
"Please don't tell me you captured me sneezing," I rolled my eyes when I obviously knew the answer.939Please respect copyright.PENANAu7nmkDcyAy
"Ya, he did," said Seungri, with a smirk on his face.939Please respect copyright.PENANARNgwSaqD6h
"Never mind. It's almost lunch time and I'm starving," I said. "What can we order for lunch?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAat9kchZdkw
"I'm glad you asked," said Zoey. "You just sit back and relax, my hungry kitty. We already have lunch covered."939Please respect copyright.PENANAsMCIKOGCz2
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Zoey with an eyebrow raised.939Please respect copyright.PENANAwAiuRsNhxM
"We thought of having a special lunch just for you since you were so mad at us," said Daniel. 939Please respect copyright.PENANA0NGm6hCTmx
"Well, that's interesting," said Taeyang. "Weren't you going to invite us as well?"939Please respect copyright.PENANA0AzFehy9gW
"Well, ya, but surprisingly you brought yourselves here," said Zoey. "We were about to call you as soon as we arrived."939Please respect copyright.PENANAds6CGqb3P4
"We already called the others so, no need," said Mike.939Please respect copyright.PENANAMJM47oEx4Z
At that moment, I had 939Please respect copyright.PENANAOJePhGXysK
put in another piece of chocolate in my mouth and I almost choked on it.939Please respect copyright.PENANAW42Mo1taWH
Mike who was the closet to me patted my back.939Please respect copyright.PENANAu42wpGw8Qu
"Hey, are you okay?" he asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAXbJgocTKE2
"I'm fine, I guess," I said, as I held my throat.939Please respect copyright.PENANAcNkcxIxqWz
"This is what happens when you don't share chocolates," said Zoey. "Here, I'll help you."939Please respect copyright.PENANAw5nAnQiFsM
Zoey got the box of 939Please respect copyright.PENANAPjTZWK8VcQ
chocolates and Christine went to sit next to Zoey to eat them while I 939Please respect copyright.PENANArQDed7Vewl
continued rubbing my throat, deep in thought.939Please respect copyright.PENANAK1xs8VL45l
"Can you excuse me for a second?" I asked as I got up from the couch with my panda and left the room.939Please respect copyright.PENANAMXpatVPxX1
I was in the passage as I939Please respect copyright.PENANACOngJVu7qk
leaned on the wall, close to the door of the room Zoey and I were 939Please respect copyright.PENANAYVslqmzUjN
sleeping in. I held the panda in my arms and hugged it tightly. I sighed939Please respect copyright.PENANAva1bElnH7m
in what felt like sadness.939Please respect copyright.PENANARjUwF2rU3Z
"You aren't okay, again, aren't you?" came Taeyang's voice behind me.939Please respect copyright.PENANAaC0ZhYz8XH
I sniffed and without facing him said, "you already know. I don't have to say anything."939Please respect copyright.PENANAmsuR89vcMZ
I heard his footsteps 939Please respect copyright.PENANAITNvxVme1Z
and I knew he was coming closer. He also leaned his back against the 939Please respect copyright.PENANAWF3oFN8yTU
wall as he stood right next to me and I heard him sigh.939Please respect copyright.PENANAR8KRGZh4Kw
"Are you really going to stay mad at GD for long?" he asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAUhGBVxTSUl
"And are you going to do the same with Hyo-rin?" I also asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANATBCZpFE5RZ
"Are we really do this right now?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAkkiZpXFuZ3
"Do you want us to continue making each other feel bad about yourselves?" 939Please respect copyright.PENANA8GHlcuM86K
Taeyang chuckled silently and I smiled, still not looking at him.939Please respect copyright.PENANApYS1g9usx8
"This isn't working, is it?" Taeyang asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAFv8GTd0768
"Nope." 939Please respect copyright.PENANAu7Q28BN7Ti
I heard Taeyang take in another deep breath and said, "I really admire you, Sam."939Please respect copyright.PENANAerEutzvu8J
My eyes almost felt like939Please respect copyright.PENANAAJkODgR8sP
they would pop out of their sockets. He admired me? Like how? Admiring 939Please respect copyright.PENANAoSOrLF21Lz
meant a lot of things. And right now I felt really confused.939Please respect copyright.PENANANE8vJwpho0
I turned to look at him 939Please respect copyright.PENANAdmZrqXnaOt
and I found him staring at me. He gave me a simple smile and I didn't 939Please respect copyright.PENANAx2yGPrWEb8
know where to begin to ask what he truly meant.939Please respect copyright.PENANAOiFKPktLlE
"I....uh, what do you, uh.... mean when you said you admired me?" I asked as I stammered.939Please respect copyright.PENANAI5yb42LPts
"That you're surrounded 939Please respect copyright.PENANAaf5kfMz0oW
by such amazing people in your life that you're even able to forgive 939Please respect copyright.PENANAbFDLzswyMo
them despite you getting hurt by them," he answered. "I admire that 939Please respect copyright.PENANA55qsU2gL9m
you've such a good heart. You don't seem to hold grudges for long."939Please respect copyright.PENANAPaCGZOdxrS
"A good heart? Really? I don't think so. If it's anyone with a good heart it's you, Tae, not me." 939Please respect copyright.PENANAdzWdIBViTs
"Then if you can see that in me, I can also see that in you."939Please respect copyright.PENANAU3MQkSxhYM
I sighed and I gave Taeyang a stern eye. "So what's your point?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAVUwCsrS94e
"That you also shouldn't stay mad at GD."939Please respect copyright.PENANADSQSzaQ1qo
"Tae, you don't know how I felt yesterday when he betrayed me and left me dangling on the cliff for my life."939Please respect copyright.PENANA7PlOlqZeeR
Taeyang raised an eyebrow at me. "You felt betrayed?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAmdD00SqL3Z
"Well, ya." I shrugged my shoulders. "What GD did to me wasn't.....It was so not....."939Please respect copyright.PENANA2wigUerHSU
Apparently, I couldn't 939Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2aLlQOskz
seem to find the right words. I didn't even realise how I felt when I 939Please respect copyright.PENANAi56yUxhtHQ
talked about this to Taeyang. On one hand I was confused and on the 939Please respect copyright.PENANAIM3j64LMbp
other, I was still mad I could break something. I was even squeezing my 939Please respect copyright.PENANA1hMqY5mfTw
panda tightly. If it were a live animal, I would have choked it to 939Please respect copyright.PENANA6SNXD3X91B
death.939Please respect copyright.PENANAhUUvmhO31U
Taeyang still looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I didn't like that he wasn't saying anything.939Please respect copyright.PENANArWXTENfzLs
"Aren't you going to say anything, Tae?" I asked, sounding frustrated. "Don't look at me like that."939Please respect copyright.PENANA4NrjQjMOsD
Taeyang folded his arms 939Please respect copyright.PENANAKKABbRfHmP
and said, "if you really want me to say something, I'll say what I think939Please respect copyright.PENANAlYQJ2rymqo
and what I'm seeing right now. You aren't mad at GD. You're just hurt."939Please respect copyright.PENANAHAT3WlZcB3
"Hurt? I don't get it." I felt even more confused.939Please respect copyright.PENANAwJxqeK749Q
"You're may think you're939Please respect copyright.PENANAlMbmvTQWIP
upset and angry, when actually you're hurt. You just said you felt 939Please respect copyright.PENANA20lhCKaUMR
betrayed with what GD did to you. Feeling betrayed isn't getting angry, 939Please respect copyright.PENANAVRWYRiZIiy
but feeling hurt."939Please respect copyright.PENANAjx18XQJOR3
I slowly took in what Taeyang said and I couldn't help but feel he was right on this one.939Please respect copyright.PENANAx9M2ePLtOA
"But I wouldn't feel 939Please respect copyright.PENANARRQqWOhu3d
hurt or betrayed if I...." I was soon hit with the most shocking 939Please respect copyright.PENANAy6MButZ8BI
revelation of my life and I stopped myself in mid sentence as I looked 939Please respect copyright.PENANA5p4wKTkjEU
at Taeyang.939Please respect copyright.PENANAk9oxRopVr1
Taeyang gave me that 939Please respect copyright.PENANAyO6IYBEq2B
look that he already knew what I was about to say. And he probably had 939Please respect copyright.PENANAnAHG89KA7v
figured it out a whole lot sooner than I did. I shook my head at him, 939Please respect copyright.PENANAUht2mLBMd3
while in return, he nodded.939Please respect copyright.PENANAsv9k75iUeY
"No, freaking way," I said, trying not to raise my voice. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAzgMJcX5utU
"Ya," said Taeyang. "Believe it or not, it seems like you like him."939Please respect copyright.PENANAnDxb7WRTXt
I didn't say a word as I939Please respect copyright.PENANAPFzr3BRqsc
went back to leaning my back against the wall. I buried my chin into my939Please respect copyright.PENANA7E5T6s48Dm
panda's soft head not really believing what just happened. The thought 939Please respect copyright.PENANAbrLvd8fskj
of liking GD clouded my mind. Not only that. What happened between 939Please respect copyright.PENANAcnPTtoevRN
Daesung and I at the park really made things complicated.939Please respect copyright.PENANARNkBpOiAWk
"I guess you're right," I muttered to Taeyang. "But I can't tell for sure if I really like him or not."939Please respect copyright.PENANAkJToR0YEfR
"Maybe all you need is a little time to figure it out," said Taeyang. "Right now, you're just confused."939Please respect copyright.PENANADff70BQzY1
"I'm 'really' confused. You've no idea."939Please respect copyright.PENANATzw6UMkQ2I
"Did something else happen that you aren't telling me?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAqxBIRODtMu
If there was ever a way I939Please respect copyright.PENANAQhMpHvTsvO
would personally give Taeyang an award for, was for mind reading. It's 939Please respect copyright.PENANAak0A4IZXrn
like he knew what was going on inside my head. I wondered if I should 939Please respect copyright.PENANAIGC2CeyWGo
tell him about Daesung too, but I was saved my the bell.939Please respect copyright.PENANADhxPT44SuY
"Hey, you two, let's go, lunch is ready downstairs," said Zoey appearing in the passage. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAKBAydNuD8z
"Okay, let me put my panda away," I said as I quickly disappeared into the room and I left it on my bed. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAYzPoTArTny
When I came out, I still found Taeyang where I had left him and the two of us went to join the others entering the elevator.939Please respect copyright.PENANAEtlEjl7VUw
"You two are really close today. Are you up to something?" Zoey asked Taeyang and I as we got into the elevator.939Please respect copyright.PENANAN20KZNRrx4
"No, why do you ask?" I asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANADHCnh7oTVV
"Well, I'm just asking,"939Please respect copyright.PENANAqaHGLobXHQ
said Zoey, as she playfully scratched the back of her head. "Who knows,939Please respect copyright.PENANAqSYX0Fx5SR
Taeyang might steal you away from me and become your new best friend."939Please respect copyright.PENANA0wCRhYVbFt
"Sounds like you're jealous," said Seungri, with a mocking smile on his face.939Please respect copyright.PENANAaV2nJOjnkT
"No, I'm not!" Zoey snapped.939Please respect copyright.PENANAkVwJnJvVrZ
"Hilarious," muttered Taeyang, as he smiled.939Please respect copyright.PENANA6LIpsRUdeI
"If I knew that's what you were thinking about, I wouldn't have asked," I said, as I rolled my eyes.939Please respect copyright.PENANAxmSrpFTsgd
I pressed the button 939Please respect copyright.PENANAkeWw1HJia5
leading us to the ground floor and the doors to the elevator closed 939Please respect copyright.PENANAL9Kq9oPkYi
before us. In a matter of seconds, we found ourselves on the ground 939Please respect copyright.PENANAidZafQINSh
floor and we all walked out of the elevator.939Please respect copyright.PENANAurkUWffVBG
We went to the main 939Please respect copyright.PENANAaNaVRAjo3W
hotel dinning room and a waiter lead us to the table reserved for us for939Please respect copyright.PENANAPeuhTs9a0g
lunch. It was a huge round table in the VIP section. There were ten 939Please respect copyright.PENANAp0bLfdgeCS
seats around the table, obviously for all BigBang and Toxins members.939Please respect copyright.PENANARbrXcAYqy8
"Why didn't you invite, our managers and Lee?" I asked Zoey as we approached the table.939Please respect copyright.PENANAiTuhyFqpWI
"Are you serious? Those guys are busy and you wanted me to invite them?" Zoey asked. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAv17zO1ckcU
"To be honest, we just 939Please respect copyright.PENANA2yodhChlin
wanted to avoid them asking us questions about yesterday," said Daniel. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAg2l0zSyFZD
"We wanted it to be strictly Toxins and BigBang."939Please respect copyright.PENANAcdGsiT5NaI
"Was that so hard to say?" I asked Zoey upon Daniel's answer.939Please respect copyright.PENANAgBcSJ0vXXY
"Maybe. Let's forget about it and sit, shall we?" Zoey suggested and she walked ahead of us, reaching the table first.939Please respect copyright.PENANAI0yYT74I4U
We all got to the table and before I could pull out my chair, Taeyang pulled the chair out for me and I glady sat.939Please respect copyright.PENANAO1o4KtQ6FS
"Thanks, Tae," I said as I smiled up at him.939Please respect copyright.PENANAtUrP59rFsC
"You're welcome," said Taeyang as he sat next to me and Daesung sat on my other side.939Please respect copyright.PENANATMmOeIFDvT
"Okay, weird, you two are getting real close," said Zoey as she sat across the table looking directly at Taeyang and me.939Please respect copyright.PENANApKkRpldluT
"Nah, I don't think so,"939Please respect copyright.PENANANOTwccTF96
said Christine. "Taeyang is just so sweet. I wish I was the sick one so939Please respect copyright.PENANAza59Vgxhev
he would be treating me like that."939Please respect copyright.PENANAP0sIcV2dK5
"Mmm, I don't think so,"939Please respect copyright.PENANA0LOVLHexIb
said Zoey, shaking her head. "Did something happen between the two of 939Please respect copyright.PENANAdPYlahXYrC
you yesterday that I'm not aware of?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAUnc5YiRGou
"My goodness," I rolled my eyes and sniffed. "Stop making a drama out of everything, Zoey."939Please respect copyright.PENANAzV48sqOCW2
"I'm not," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders.939Please respect copyright.PENANAxjCLhkTjLr
"Then, stop trying to make one."939Please respect copyright.PENANA4RnP1YBAML
"Before you two decide to tear each other apart," said Seungri. "Can we please have our food now? I'm starving."939Please respect copyright.PENANAHlDOTTi8Cg
"Ya, me too," said Mike.939Please respect copyright.PENANAQX4M1P9ovC
"Wait, we've to wait for TOP and GD to get here first," said Zoey.939Please respect copyright.PENANAiiovhvwoTx
"Seriously?" Daniel asked. "Do we really have to wait?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAsYoh7miuI9
"We can't really be so sure how long they're going to take to get here," said Daesung.939Please respect copyright.PENANART5Bpp3vJA
"They will be here any moment now," said Zoey as she stared at her fancy white wrist watch. "Trust me."939Please respect copyright.PENANApDuJmqKpK3
"Really? Can we just get on with it?" Mike asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAr5M4iiHOWx
"We haven't even passed a minute, and you're complaining already?" Daesung asked almost in a fit of laughter.939Please respect copyright.PENANAof9zhy8U76
"Ah, here they come," said Zoey as she looked behind me. "Told you they will be here."939Please respect copyright.PENANA2MOBOMReHW
I didn't even dare try 939Please respect copyright.PENANA741SfBsGIC
to look behind me as I twirled a strand of my hair with my fingers as I 939Please respect copyright.PENANACR4lYwdlQf
coughed. Zoey got up from her seat and ran over to G-Dragon and TOP.939Please respect copyright.PENANACNarnAlFAZ
"I'm so glad you're here," said Zoey. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAPn8EXG3CFN
"I'm glad you invited us," came TOP's voice. "How is our patient doing?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAHsIQcCGn9p
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Zoey suggested.939Please respect copyright.PENANAZVFop5OEMD
I heard footsteps coming939Please respect copyright.PENANAUF0AbbFMmT
towards the table and I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable 939Please respect copyright.PENANA3QNNKEPeIm
as I moved in my seat. Taeyang must have noticed because he turned to 939Please respect copyright.PENANAVLsUY0oYck
look at me.939Please respect copyright.PENANA8T1qISMDJM
"Are you okay?" he whispered.939Please respect copyright.PENANAiMQuoixSkk
"I'm trying to," I whispered back.939Please respect copyright.PENANA94XUzdJVp5
I soon felt strong hands939Please respect copyright.PENANAHTdgHFwKql
grip my shoulders and I was startled. For a moment, I thought it was GD939Please respect copyright.PENANAoPtmQzPD4M
until I took a whiff of TOP's musky cologne.939Please respect copyright.PENANAWVIAa9QcZM
"Hi, Sam," said TOP, as he bent over to give me a peck on the cheek. "How are you doing?"939Please respect copyright.PENANA8wkKd00RN5
"I'm a whole lot better,939Please respect copyright.PENANA6cad2lzoiO
thanks," I replied, as I felt myself blush and the spot where TOP 939Please respect copyright.PENANA1mVdXnBkBF
pecked me burn up. "It's nothing serious." I sniffed.939Please respect copyright.PENANAjjFIg8kNKK
"Glad to hear that."939Please respect copyright.PENANA2wGo5dHZn8
When TOP let go of my shoulders and walked away to take his seat next to Mike, I heard G-Dragon's voice behind me.939Please respect copyright.PENANA3acRkvywyx
"I'm glad you're okay, Sam. I thought of the worst when you got sick."939Please respect copyright.PENANAYWgRUeLYyF
I was planning not to 939Please respect copyright.PENANAekGcjT061P
turn and look at G-Dragon, but I did anyway. When I looked at him, he 939Please respect copyright.PENANAyksxjjZbhf
was staring at me with those captivating eyes of his. I could tell that 939Please respect copyright.PENANAv2FqCdn4IQ
he was sorry for what he did to me yesterday. I was wondering whether to939Please respect copyright.PENANABpeVY4kbFY
jump at him and tear him apart, or just let the problem go like water 939Please respect copyright.PENANA45R3CGaNOU
under the bridge.939Please respect copyright.PENANABUA316gg8s
I smiled, at least that was an effort, and said, "I'm fine, GD, my cold isn't serious neither is it contagious."939Please respect copyright.PENANAOSHVqTzpbp
"Wait, you're not mad at me anymore?" he asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANA9HhoYZmYvq
I tried not to frown. "Let's not talk about that. I'm starved."939Please respect copyright.PENANAagQRPA5JmC
"Okay, then," said Zoey, as she wrapped her arm around G-Dragon's elbow. "Let's sit and have lunch."939Please respect copyright.PENANAYgF95QJF9t
Zoey and G-Dragon sat down next to each other as they were conversating about something.939Please respect copyright.PENANALUCLzeqBD8
"You know what? At least I tried not to sound mad at him," I said to Taeyang.939Please respect copyright.PENANAqLProX9GH6
"Will you try to keep that up for long?" Taeyang asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAwiMp7UBrbm
"If I can manage to have lunch without any mishaps, then I know things will be okay."939Please respect copyright.PENANAMJh2KMOQzL
The waiters soon came 939Please respect copyright.PENANAmwmrlj0dAY
and laid our lunch on the table. We first had lovely soup for a starter.939Please respect copyright.PENANAk0bxI6VLfM
And since Zoey mentioned earlier that it was a special lunch 939Please respect copyright.PENANAKe75GYQOX9
specifically for me, we were all served my favourite dish as the main 939Please respect copyright.PENANAhWAUAjDfug
meal, Italian chicken terazzini.939Please respect copyright.PENANALyVdvpksq3
For a moment, I felt 939Please respect copyright.PENANAE6LiVoF3S8
more at home than ever before. A feeling I hadn't felt in a long time. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAJlRZz15xMG
Zoey really knew how to make me feel more pleased with her in order for 939Please respect copyright.PENANAZGTg2zXPkb
me to forget that I was ever mad.939Please respect copyright.PENANAbRVEzTphSD
"Mmm, this is so 939Please respect copyright.PENANAFuJJgDL3tq
delicious," said Mike, a few minutes in during the meal. "Now I see why 939Please respect copyright.PENANABDL2Hkn0p6
you like this dish, Sam. It's so awesome."939Please respect copyright.PENANAGWjibcEwjL
"I agree," said Seungri. "And the chefs here really know how to make a good meal."939Please respect copyright.PENANATL3WKcLmTO
"We wouldn't have had this if it wasn't for Zoey," I said, as I looked at her. "Thanks, by the way."939Please respect copyright.PENANAGe9gt0Xe5G
"Anything for you, Sam,"939Please respect copyright.PENANAxrA3w3jYud
said Zoey with a huge grin on her face. "But to be honest, this whole 939Please respect copyright.PENANAibziOws4kK
lunch thing, wasn't really my idea."939Please respect copyright.PENANAfs4Gi81WuH
"Oh? Then whose was it then?" Daesung asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAHnv5LUzPaG
"Da, GD. Who else?" Zoey replied as she playfully nudged G-Dragon on his arm with her elbow.939Please respect copyright.PENANA32WhTnmqTJ
I had just taken in some939Please respect copyright.PENANAfAQjP9Z4j2
food into my mouth and I almost choked on it, but I tried not to make 939Please respect copyright.PENANABK5VnswBOQ
it look obvious. I slowly put my spoon and fork on the plate as I slowly939Please respect copyright.PENANAESQGkxoFx4
tried to chew my food, but at the same time, processing what Zoey had 939Please respect copyright.PENANA8zVJpejnpu
just said.939Please respect copyright.PENANA7RflDq26c0
"This was all G-Dragon's idea?" I asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAWqm3q0cchW
"Well, ya," Christine 939Please respect copyright.PENANAgg0TfaMGsK
replied. "You were so mad that you weren't talking to us, when we met 939Please respect copyright.PENANARV5QIBiZp6
G-Dragon at YG this morning, he suggested the idea of throwing you a 939Please respect copyright.PENANA7DwQg1VY7H
special lunch to lighten your mood."939Please respect copyright.PENANAb527lvxVZ5
At that moment, I didn't know if all this lightened my mood or just darkened it even more.939Please respect copyright.PENANA2Mnxm7l672
"Thanks for the lunch, 939Please respect copyright.PENANAfEDD8csOLi
GD," I said with a smile, which felt rather painful on my face. "It's so939Please respect copyright.PENANADpswHro6wl
sweet of you to have come up with this."939Please respect copyright.PENANA7BXvxNinnD
"You're welcome," said G-Dragon as he winked at me.939Please respect copyright.PENANAnIpBqThjTN
I almost felt like 939Please respect copyright.PENANAGSyC3RMkZ0
jumping at him from my seat to poke his eyes out with a fork, but I was 939Please respect copyright.PENANAavikOjBXXB
surprised with myself when I didn't move a muscle and continued to stare939Please respect copyright.PENANAFJv9TEN5qj
at him with a fake smile on my face. Where was all this anger coming 939Please respect copyright.PENANAE7v2bhaKmT
from? And why was it that with every minute that passed, my anger kept 939Please respect copyright.PENANAUZMyvfLeZo
turning into rage?939Please respect copyright.PENANAoyCDoNVFvR
Oh, goodness. I needed 939Please respect copyright.PENANAnXDdmumzDz
help, that's for sure. I wasn't supposed to be mad at G-Dragon up to 939Please respect copyright.PENANAN4yc1UBRVI
this point. But why did I still feel angry and hurt? 939Please respect copyright.PENANAnSMbmjXrPJ
I tried to push aside 939Please respect copyright.PENANAB3AYuWLMaI
the questions and my boiling anger as I stared at my food and continued 939Please respect copyright.PENANAxTL73nXdjk
to eat. When we were all done with our main meal, we were served 939Please respect copyright.PENANARLYQcvk7Oj
dessert. Again, surprise, surprise, it was my favourite dessert, frozen 939Please respect copyright.PENANASv2jEKbKtm
chocolate moussé.939Please respect copyright.PENANAP7zf58clCf
"Yum, yum, yum," I said,939Please respect copyright.PENANALE7iE0u8Pq
with a bright smile on my face as the waiter laid down a dessert bowl 939Please respect copyright.PENANAWmk9nHTqYQ
filled with chocolate moussé in front of me.939Please respect copyright.PENANAnuVV0s59wW
"This is the most excited I've seen you today, Sam," said Taeyang.939Please respect copyright.PENANAQARpUCI7pl
"It's because chocolate moussé is her favourite dessert," said Daniel. "Give her that and she would be your best friend."939Please respect copyright.PENANAPLWjdXnCu9
"I'll keep that in mind," said TOP.939Please respect copyright.PENANAOYYK40OKYV
I didn't wait for 939Please respect copyright.PENANAPJgjcBdGjP
everyone else to get their own share of dessert. As soon as I got mine, I939Please respect copyright.PENANAeAcgOoWgJl
got a dessert spoon and started to eat the cold dessert. Mmmm, I closed939Please respect copyright.PENANAzJkSOmZRLF
my eyes as I took it in my mouth and for once, I felt like I was in 939Please respect copyright.PENANACGOMZs3KZu
heaven.939Please respect copyright.PENANAz0glmvEmvM
"This is so good," I said, with my eyes closed as I savoured the chocolate in my mouth.939Please respect copyright.PENANAkr2pkgcs4b
"Be careful though," said G-Dragon. "You're not supposed to be eating cold stuff when you've a cold and a cough."939Please respect copyright.PENANApTiSZgWWMp
"I don't care," I said 939Please respect copyright.PENANAICWcvhRXY6
as I opened my eyes and smiled at G-Dragon. "I would end up with a bad 939Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8Brk37ckF
sore throat and I still wouldn't mind."939Please respect copyright.PENANAprTdhul6Co
G-Dragon smiled back at 939Please respect copyright.PENANAviY3I4s0eU
me and I realised that I wasn't mad at him anymore. It looked like I 939Please respect copyright.PENANAz7tF4tpoJZ
really couldn't stay mad at him. And I was glad that all the hate faded 939Please respect copyright.PENANAWd8RcbW5R0
away.939Please respect copyright.PENANAL30pH2cn3Q
After dessert, we all 939Please respect copyright.PENANABOE6iajxtc
just sat there and started to chat. For once, it felt really good to be 939Please respect copyright.PENANAi6qfgZp8lr
on speaking terms with everyone again. We were soon talking about what 939Please respect copyright.PENANAoDz4xz35HA
happened yesterday. After going through all that and talking about it, 939Please respect copyright.PENANAL82nYuvxDQ
it all seemed rather funny and we all laughed about it. Although, the 939Please respect copyright.PENANAOoGmzNyYtL
part where G-Dragon had made me dive into the pool seemed to hurt a 939Please respect copyright.PENANAWLe3xKEbnC
little, I knew I would grow out of it someday.939Please respect copyright.PENANArOoPwuAiKW
"Hey, may I ask?" Seungri asked. "How did Lee manage to keep our managers at YG for so long?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAdXFUEZrEnW
"Not sure, I'll make sure to ask her later on," I said.939Please respect copyright.PENANAjz41MeUMmA
"Yesterday, was just hilarious," said Zoey, wiping away a fake tear after laughing. "We should try that again some time."939Please respect copyright.PENANAzCS8L1LRTN
"But this time, not at the water park," I said.939Please respect copyright.PENANAKTvTQmRmPV
"Then where?" Daesung asked. "The water park was so much fun."939Please respect copyright.PENANALY5ZmWZ3Ni
"I suggest we try to figure that out later," I said. "We have stuff to do."939Please respect copyright.PENANAox05vya0RY
"What stuff?" TOP asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAtrGcxn5ZMu
"The song. Don't tell me you all forgot?"939Please respect copyright.PENANATYQoib0p9q
"Oh, the song!" Mike slapped his forehead. "I myself forgot about that."939Please respect copyright.PENANAa77CrbwUNO
"I thought both you and G-Dragon were going to work on it," said Christine.939Please respect copyright.PENANAuCnoLyiKUs
"Ya, but I have a better idea," I said.939Please respect copyright.PENANAAThQMzViM1
I felt Taeyang look at me and I turned to look at him.939Please respect copyright.PENANAkdhRRbCqgj
"Are you really going through with that?" Taeyang asked, as he whispered.939Please respect copyright.PENANA3tj2IPlb3T
"I don't think that's a big deal, is it?" I whispered back. "I think it's a good idea."939Please respect copyright.PENANAt0gIoxX4E6
"Wait, what's going on?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAck1CU7d50H
G-Dragon asked, as he noticed Taeyang and I whispering to each other. 939Please respect copyright.PENANApLyb7WPaxF
"And what idea have you come up with for the song?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAPWe4cvf3sB
"I thought we should all939Please respect copyright.PENANAH3MTUEfH3f
work on the lyrics together. I feel it will be a lot better if we all 939Please respect copyright.PENANAGfdK5RXkeS
bring out our ideas and put them as lyrics."939Please respect copyright.PENANAvaLHbMStzs
"But why do we have to put our heads together if there is you and G-Dragon who are better at song writing?" TOP asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANALtlPR3micP
"I don't know, I feel we939Please respect copyright.PENANANYlvmOmK5O
have to put our all in the song by coming up with lyrics from everyone.939Please respect copyright.PENANA7u35uiq93s
It might sound a little strange, but we all have to help each other out939Please respect copyright.PENANA6III9CbWkM
on this. If there is anyone objecting to it, you're free to do so."939Please respect copyright.PENANAJFq0SuwFCC
"I don't get it though,"939Please respect copyright.PENANA8TuYWV24Nm
said G-Dragon, as he leaned back on his chair and stared at me. "What 939Please respect copyright.PENANAbIHeRwk0TK
made you come up with this idea when we already agreed on who will write939Please respect copyright.PENANA0g0DEGZUff
the lyrics?"939Please respect copyright.PENANA35GJuAYiTb
"I don't know, it kind of felt right, I think," I said.939Please respect copyright.PENANAEHlu3VhsBY
"You think?" G-Dragon now raised his eyebrow at me. "Is there something you aren't telling us?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAPRecSIiPJN
This time, I also raised939Please respect copyright.PENANAS9guV9Bg2b
an eyebrow. I had told Taeyang about my idea earlier not because I was 939Please respect copyright.PENANAOgpwhR9DQw
trying to avoid G-Dragon but for everyone else's benefit.939Please respect copyright.PENANAOxf1qsn38A
"What makes you think I have other intentions?" I asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAydh10jAKQp
"Maybe you might still be mad at G-Dragon," Zoey blurted out.939Please respect copyright.PENANAdmV76y5BLd
I sighed. Great! These were the times you wished Zoey never had such a big mouth.939Please respect copyright.PENANAHyXxTFsRhT
"Is that true? Are you still mad at me?" G-Dragon asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAOLxHAW81pm
"No, not any more," I answered. "At first I was, but now I'm over with what happened yesterday."939Please respect copyright.PENANArqDuIR9hul
"Or are you still mad that you don't want to work on the lyrics with me?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAXkdoplYun8
By the way G-Dragon 939Please respect copyright.PENANAQp1me7JtDI
spoke, I could tell he was hurting. But it was pretty hard to try to 939Please respect copyright.PENANA6eK3I4Lm2f
convince him that yes, I was mad at first and I wanted to avoid him. And939Please respect copyright.PENANAQcYiemJ4W3
no, since I'm no longer mad at him any more and that the idea of all of939Please respect copyright.PENANAMb8gKz54RP
us working on the lyrics for the song seemed like a good idea.939Please respect copyright.PENANAoQcOyBYAK9
"I just told you, I'm not mad anymore."939Please respect copyright.PENANAHJaoJx6QQQ
"Why is it that I don't believe you?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAfIyWlj2Szy
"Maybe, it's because you're objecting to my idea and you just want to make up what would be a valid reason for it."939Please respect copyright.PENANAOnWsAR614L
"Mmm, looking at it through Sam's point of view, I see nothing wrong if all of us work on the song," said Daniel.939Please respect copyright.PENANA05kdLpYqAI
"Then why come up with this in the first place?" Zoey asked. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAnuIPQ3gGQS
"I already told you, I just think it's a good idea," I repeated.939Please respect copyright.PENANA14OFHJmBZB
"Well, I'm not up for it," said G-Dragon folding his arms. "I object."939Please respect copyright.PENANAznjPcdosn9
"Well, you should have said that instead of blaming me for coming up with this as an excuse."939Please respect copyright.PENANAc5wWX8DqYH
"I think you are, and you're not telling us."939Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ry0GfuYkQ
"Are we going to go through this again? You just objected."939Please respect copyright.PENANAOXnOl2RW3e
"I could go through this over and over again if I had to until you tell us the truth."939Please respect copyright.PENANAWAUq5ZQp1p
"What truth?" I asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAPDYkllYiiZ
"Okay, guys this is getting a little out of hand," said Taeyang. "Don't forget, we aren't the only ones here."939Please respect copyright.PENANArIFfOP6daM
Taeyang was right. I was939Please respect copyright.PENANADcmBg5zauO
so caught up in the argument with G-Dragon, I forgot that we were in 939Please respect copyright.PENANAvHtUZE0QoW
the hotel dining room. I looked around us and a few heads from other 939Please respect copyright.PENANAJhFtAZ6E1I
tables turned to ours. It seemed like our argument caught some people's 939Please respect copyright.PENANAPnV4hpwI8s
attention.939Please respect copyright.PENANAoIrc3lY2Cy
"Tae's right," I said. "We shouldn't be arguing, much less here."939Please respect copyright.PENANACwdwHZ2R9Y
"Then let's conclude on this once and for all then," said Deasung. "Those who favour Sam's idea, raise your hand."939Please respect copyright.PENANADQAnrUHbZ7
Taeyang, Daesung, Daniel939Please respect copyright.PENANA0uXzonOJku
and Mike, raised their hands. That meant Zoey, TOP, Seungri and 939Please respect copyright.PENANAkGVm1BjmZe
Christine were on G-Dragon's side. What a bummer!939Please respect copyright.PENANAcyaOC5smNP
"Whoops, looks like it's a tie," said Zoey playfully with a smirk.939Please respect copyright.PENANAcpZOCvwMrd
"It's not funny, Zoey," I said shaking my head.939Please respect copyright.PENANA9r8aNtFoyX
"Well, this just got serious," said Seungri, scratching his head.939Please respect copyright.PENANAVuwaQbNzJH
"It's a tie, so I suggest we..." I was then interrupted by G-Dragon.939Please respect copyright.PENANAIxRReTxLK1
"No, this time you aren't going to say or suggest anything," said G-Dragon.939Please respect copyright.PENANAwVjPXQNvkg
"But I....." 939Please respect copyright.PENANAE4qfzspto7
"Sam, sshh," said Zoey, 939Please respect copyright.PENANAL8D2oCzwAe
pressing her index finger to her lips, telling me to keep quiet. "You've939Please respect copyright.PENANAI6ZRmlUlR2
talked way too much, don't you think?"939Please respect copyright.PENANAhrBbQowfb8
That felt like a slap in939Please respect copyright.PENANAR7h8hoLVVi
the face and I felt my face burn up in embarrassment. It looked like 939Please respect copyright.PENANAVwRn6xnQNb
the tables had turned on me today. At first I was mad at G-Dragon and 939Please respect copyright.PENANA8ztYKHHO4I
the other Toxins, but now, I was the one pissing everyone off. What 939Please respect copyright.PENANAFsbjpvfmFw
happened to me being the leader? I know G-Dragon was older, but what 939Please respect copyright.PENANADMRxdjYkHg
about what I thought was best for the whole group?939Please respect copyright.PENANAzvesOi46rL
"I suggest we think about it and when we meet tomorrow, we vote over it again," said G-Dragon.939Please respect copyright.PENANAjn4aw0kRgy
"That's fine with me," said Mike.939Please respect copyright.PENANA2xU8HkN2xZ
Everyone else agreed, 939Please respect copyright.PENANAEEz1PaLsgI
except me since I was told not to say a word. I personally also thought 939Please respect copyright.PENANApZTcGG64pJ
it was a good idea to try and think things through. But what if it 939Please respect copyright.PENANA4IeKDAKGwG
didn't work out tomorrow? What would we do then? I had a terrible 939Please respect copyright.PENANAaM4tOqQgjc
feeling that things weren't going to go as planned and we needed a Plan 939Please respect copyright.PENANABJGaX6Iz6n
B, just in case.939Please respect copyright.PENANA45k170hSu4
"Okay, then, we will meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he stood up to leave.939Please respect copyright.PENANAMoTVQnT96A
"But I've something to say," I blurted out.939Please respect copyright.PENANAllALgcm7Zp
"Not now, Sam. We will 939Please respect copyright.PENANAof2bNaTIEs
meet tomorrow," said G-Dragon as he looked at me and walked away from 939Please respect copyright.PENANAnCmVo4gGu1
the table heading for the door. I had to admit, the way he looked at me 939Please respect copyright.PENANAeglkFzX8ve
gave me goosebumps.939Please respect copyright.PENANAp9sUkyj3KN
"Way to go, Sam," said Zoey, as she also stood up from the table. "You just made him upset. I need to go calm him down."939Please respect copyright.PENANAo0JNBRNv1A
Zoey went after G-Dragon and I sat back on my chair, feeling defeated and powerless. 939Please respect copyright.PENANAxMx6mqlp7m
One by one everyone 939Please respect copyright.PENANA0FlZ72zahA
started to leave the table without even saying a word. It was awkward 939Please respect copyright.PENANAs1rVV9TL0x
with the argument that had taken place, and saying something didn't seem939Please respect copyright.PENANACDfjloezTx
appropriate.939Please respect copyright.PENANAyiBXJS3QEn
I was soon left with Taeyang at the table and I looked at him, wondering why he hadn't left.939Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZskwjdyJv
"Aren't you supposed to have left by now?" I asked.939Please respect copyright.PENANAUCBjV6gvm9
"And leave you all alone? No way," said Taeyang.939Please respect copyright.PENANAiWv65Vaqz5
"Why do I feel like I've just become the villain?" I asked, my thoughts elsewhere.939Please respect copyright.PENANAX54TeVjtwV
"You aren't a villain. You just feel bad that not everyone agreed to your idea."939Please respect copyright.PENANAAm0xgjxFQz
"It's not that. I pissed939Please respect copyright.PENANA0Izi9aqlKf
almost everyone off and that makes me feel bad. How I wish I could take939Please respect copyright.PENANAR1JmITTC7w
everything I said back. Too bad I can't control time."939Please respect copyright.PENANAqgpL12fCaX
"You never knew that was going to happen. Let's just hope for the best that it would all seem like one bad dream."939Please respect copyright.PENANAzOMowuYPOg
"Thanks, Tae" I said, trying to put up a smile. "It means a lot that you're still here."939Please respect copyright.PENANAN7POzpXpVn
Taeyang placed his hand 939Please respect copyright.PENANAuiGD1OpGpe
on my shoulder, an assurance that he was there for me no matter what. He939Please respect copyright.PENANAFP3m3KaGAJ
smiled back at me and I felt comforted.939Please respect copyright.PENANAfOA41gAuJL
I knew I had to hope for939Please respect copyright.PENANAIpxBMXFuln
the best just like Taeyang had suggested. But I couldn't ignore the gut939Please respect copyright.PENANAi1lCj0In2P
feeling that things weren't going to run smooth and easy from now 939Please respect copyright.PENANATnWAXX8XSM
on wards. Especially now that G-Dragon was angry at me. He seemed more 939Please respect copyright.PENANA7SIk6bxpnU
angrier at me than I was at him. I feared for the worst and I knew this 939Please respect copyright.PENANABWhq7brUha
was just the beginning of a heavy storm ahead.
