I was looking out 967Please respect copyright.PENANAQwDWSEk8kL
through the car window on an early Thursday morning as we were being 967Please respect copyright.PENANAtXpyiIo37v
driven to YG. I felt so much had happened since we got here, it felt 967Please respect copyright.PENANAAj4xmMbKrK
like we had stayed in South Korea for so long when its only been five 967Please respect copyright.PENANAjkkIwMAnVm
days. I already felt homesick and the feeling of going to YG this 967Please respect copyright.PENANAvXGCmbqQSH
morning, made me nervous.967Please respect copyright.PENANA27fBIx6Fw6
I didn't know what to 967Please respect copyright.PENANA9Mp9D1Eelw
expect when I get there. Yesterday was a total disaster and I prayed 967Please respect copyright.PENANAb5wVZz2qey
that today it wouldn't be the same. But deep down, I knew I had to 967Please respect copyright.PENANA5hKz0TrF8u
prepare myself for what's to come. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAfitox7Ajbd
Although the other 967Please respect copyright.PENANAtXUlIN6I8I
Toxins and I were still on speaking terms like nothing had happened 967Please respect copyright.PENANAtH27sqdwvZ
during lunch yesterday, I could somehow feel the tension amongst 967Please respect copyright.PENANAaaYPIDxt0i
ourselves. It's like we were now divided ever since I had suggested on 967Please respect copyright.PENANA5rtiU81D5B
on all of us working on the lyrics for the song. Mike, Daniel and I on 967Please respect copyright.PENANAuSvl05UV2M
one side, Zoey and Christine on the other. How I wish it never came to 967Please respect copyright.PENANAxFYPX6dXGW
this and I regretted every moment of it. But as the saying goes, what's 967Please respect copyright.PENANAn8FSrD1keZ
done is done.967Please respect copyright.PENANAGXqd1QT54q
We were all seated in 967Please respect copyright.PENANACJQnIxnZuG
the car, the others talking amongst themselves with Lee and Collins 967Please respect copyright.PENANAli1urrKzlb
while I was quiet and feeling out of place. We hadn't told Lee and 967Please respect copyright.PENANAuXB6eOLNPK
Collins about our little conflict yesterday. We decided not to tell them967Please respect copyright.PENANALtw8O8krFE
until we came to a final decision. That's if it will even be necessary.967Please respect copyright.PENANAlNYoRXGJLQ
"Looks like someone is 967Please respect copyright.PENANAUbiwxJKmjZ
deep in their thoughts this morning," said Collins who sat in the front 967Please respect copyright.PENANAKLfBNSJSHL
seat of the car and was looking at me through the rearview mirror.967Please respect copyright.PENANAIPBotZVK3x
"I just miss home, that's all," I said.967Please respect copyright.PENANA5WjOQt6k9B
"You can give your mum a call later on in the evening," said Collins. "I bet by then it would be daytime in the U.S."967Please respect copyright.PENANARHskwQEbei
"Ya, sure." I tried to put up a smile, but it felt pointless.967Please respect copyright.PENANAfp30MOGDnm
We finally arrived at 967Please respect copyright.PENANA4A1AmjQLGe
our destination and when we all got out of the car, I couldn't help but 967Please respect copyright.PENANAVihJ7w69gB
feel nervous. The five of us followed Collins and Lee into the YG 967Please respect copyright.PENANAXB6fRfEzrT
building. As usual, we first had to go for practice. We left Collins and967Please respect copyright.PENANAC4Fu2vQXEq
Lee downstairs on the ground floor, while the rest of us took the 967Please respect copyright.PENANA36z9NZyHRJ
elevator heading for the changing rooms.967Please respect copyright.PENANAzjY3STIgd6
After changing, we all met in one of the dance studios, ready for practice.967Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ7dfI6247
"So, what should we do first?" I asked. "Go through the same routine as always or come up with some new dance moves?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAK7v5ZppjHO
"I don't see why we 967Please respect copyright.PENANAUDjQPpXV03
should come up with new dance moves," said Zoey. "I mean, it's not like 967Please respect copyright.PENANAmtmhQIrqOp
we have come up with a new song yet or anything."967Please respect copyright.PENANAhkMfi16vQ8
I felt my heart jolt upwards and I couldn't tell if it was guilt because of the song issue or I wasn't just feeling too well.967Please respect copyright.PENANAleHaWq7Qrl
"But we always come up 967Please respect copyright.PENANA3FtaVdeFYQ
with new dance moves even without a new song," said Mike. "I've come up 967Please respect copyright.PENANAeXqR2Ml1Qv
with some pretty good moves and I think we should try them out."967Please respect copyright.PENANAX673fv2P4S
"Well, okay then," said Zoey, shrugging her shoulders as though in doubt. "Let's give it a shot."967Please respect copyright.PENANAKfyF4ykwz7
"Zoey, if you want you can just sit back and watch," I said. "It seems to me you don't want to do this."967Please respect copyright.PENANAo1IT1LJBVd
"No, I want to, believe me," said Zoey.967Please respect copyright.PENANAbCyA3kWC18
"Okay, if you say so," I turned to Mike. "So, what new ideas do you have?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAVqiblJyQLM
Mike soon begun teaching967Please respect copyright.PENANAWPBlB4Ydqh
us some of the dance moves he had come up with and without fail, we all967Please respect copyright.PENANAEzQpT5vsdl
got to know them quickly even when we made a few mistakes here and 967Please respect copyright.PENANAydthl6TXSi
there. We soon got a hang of it after going through it a number of 967Please respect copyright.PENANAtYmCvdFJI9
times, it turned out to be perfect and we liked it. Sometimes back home 967Please respect copyright.PENANAbozcXHC80R
when our choreographer, Jimmy wasn't available, Mike would step in and 967Please respect copyright.PENANAWnw01CxUL6
act as our choreographer instead. Most of the time, the two would both 967Please respect copyright.PENANAkx17eyxQxw
work together, and they made a pretty good team.967Please respect copyright.PENANAdNBPmKPa5f
After going through the 967Please respect copyright.PENANAoQAi1EIEel
dance moves flawlessly with what seemed like the fourth time, we decided967Please respect copyright.PENANATLYz89QgzC
to take a break. And when I went to collect my water bottle on a rack 967Please respect copyright.PENANAVdPRbbrJr2
where we laid our training bags, I noticed from the corner of my eye 967Please respect copyright.PENANA4oa41PeXsz
that the door stood slightly open. That's weird. The last time I 967Please respect copyright.PENANA3FC0hiu4CD
checked, the door was closed and I am pretty sure of it.967Please respect copyright.PENANAghzaDODpFR
When I turned to face 967Please respect copyright.PENANAMuDMidZhla
the door, I noticed a shadow, and it moved. Someone was definitely 967Please respect copyright.PENANAQpcK2LyYez
behind the door. I started to walk towards it and when I got to the 967Please respect copyright.PENANAEPWUQrjzJs
door, I was surprised with what I saw. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAi43h17EE4y
Standing behind the door967Please respect copyright.PENANAr47SsPUJZL
were two young trainees, probably in their teens, a male and female. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAmugFgrYSWA
When I saw them face to face behind the door, they seemed frightened and967Please respect copyright.PENANAZz0rVx0NnN
they bowed their heads.967Please respect copyright.PENANAbkfJea7BfM
At that moment I didn't have any words to say as I kept staring at them.967Please respect copyright.PENANAvfPcJhJN0O
"Hey, Sam, who is by the door?" Christine called out to me.967Please respect copyright.PENANACrcQZ3QRxg
I couldn't even reply. I967Please respect copyright.PENANA80h7TKkZSP
didn't even know where to start explaining to Christine that there were967Please respect copyright.PENANAqHC6rYHxjU
young trainees by the door, who were probably watching us practice.967Please respect copyright.PENANAJkUrY4WxCK
Before I could say anything, the girl said, "we're sorry. We didn't mean to spy on you while you were practising."967Please respect copyright.PENANA86qT76tTMa
"Yes, we're sorry," said the boy. "We were just leaving."967Please respect copyright.PENANAmzWb2hOvGj
With their heads still bowed low, they slowly started to back away.967Please respect copyright.PENANACX7T9dkfG4
"Wait, stop," I said.967Please respect copyright.PENANAYVH7znWK1F
The two trainees immediately stopped as though they were robots. It felt a little weird, but I quickly brushed off the feeling.967Please respect copyright.PENANA2n2T4srISi
"Please, come in," I said, stepping aside and widening the door for them.967Please respect copyright.PENANA4n9uX2kEY0
For a moment, the 967Please respect copyright.PENANASjf4SkHmCj
trainees looked on at me with scared looks on their faces. I can tell 967Please respect copyright.PENANARjQE7lYZYP
why. It was probably some of the rules set around the place and they 967Please respect copyright.PENANAHZF0O9aI57
must have found it quiet weird that I, the famous B.K, had told them to 967Please respect copyright.PENANA27nwZBqNaE
come in.967Please respect copyright.PENANAXE7NYSaTuE
"아니요 (Aniyo)," said the 967Please respect copyright.PENANAKJnqULcD0l
boy. I recognised that he said 'no'. I don't know Korean, but there were967Please respect copyright.PENANAFhrerpU2yP
some basic words I got to know so far from watching some K-Drama 967Please respect copyright.PENANA6in6z0vDGC
series.967Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4s5DkalKW
"I mean, no," said the boy, this time in English. "That won't be necessary."967Please respect copyright.PENANAfnGl64HQ1B
"No, I insist," I said. "Come on in, we don't bite."967Please respect copyright.PENANAemqpipqblJ
Zoey soon appeared behind me and asked, "what's going on? Are these fans of ours?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAkNufrFkXCC
"Well, maybe," I said. "Don't try to intimidate them. You know you scare people."967Please respect copyright.PENANADuTEScgDpp
"No, I don't," Zoey 967Please respect copyright.PENANAupdS6ZR9v8
turned to face the trainees and said, "you guys can come on in and 967Please respect copyright.PENANAgOFOJayA36
practice with us. You're YG trainees, right?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAzRXAnX6345
The two trainees 967Please respect copyright.PENANArhleR5gu0A
nervously nodded, still with their heads bowed low. I looked on at the 967Please respect copyright.PENANACGWxspaY33
trainees, then at Zoey, then back at the trainees again.967Please respect copyright.PENANA4NQqlRGx2z
"If you are worried 967Please respect copyright.PENANArdhEmoqNzF
about getting in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk, don't worry about it," I 967Please respect copyright.PENANA00nGQPedRE
said. "You can come and practice with us. You don't have to be afraid."967Please respect copyright.PENANAf3udXRO80E
The two trainees looked 967Please respect copyright.PENANArxloBdubY4
at me and this time, they looked really excited. By the looks on their 967Please respect copyright.PENANAs4rH7W9wUp
faces, I bet they were fans, and probably the idea of dancing with The 967Please respect copyright.PENANAUroCN8npRI
Toxins seemed like a dream come true. I knew how that felt, because once967Please respect copyright.PENANAnT85T09O0W
upon a time, I was once in their shoes.967Please respect copyright.PENANADJekM1nwEr
"Re-really?" the girl asked, looking at me with excitement in her eyes.967Please respect copyright.PENANAbMi6IMhQ8z
"Ya, sure. Why not?" I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAE40JVDQ6HW
jerked my head to the side, telling them to come in. I knew I was 967Please respect copyright.PENANAlApwIylhvT
already in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk because of what happened at 967Please respect copyright.PENANAm1b9b5LGcm
Caribbean Bay, so I didn't mind if I got into more trouble just because 967Please respect copyright.PENANAzCEnSGOCQm
of allowing innocent trainees to come and practice with us.967Please respect copyright.PENANA5T28R3w9rE
The trainees gladly followed as Zoey and I led the way.967Please respect copyright.PENANA4AzJg8Iv8R
"Oh, I see you brought in some friends," said Daniel as he saw us approaching. "Welcome guys."967Please respect copyright.PENANAHOIR0ncBXo
"Thank you," said the two trainees at the same time, with huge big smiles on their faces.967Please respect copyright.PENANAQHeLsqHrqr
"You guys don't mind if they join us, do you?" I asked the others.967Please respect copyright.PENANA7dFFhntRtp
"Not at all," said Mike.967Please respect copyright.PENANASHxage74ro
"Ya, it's good to have people around, much less our fans," said Christine. "It's going to be so much fun."967Please respect copyright.PENANAUO0bq0lrBV
"Wow, this is like a dream come true," said the girl. "I never knew I would be dancing with you guys."967Please respect copyright.PENANA27hiz5qvsL
"You better believe it, girl," said Zoey, giving the girl a wink. "Dreams do come true."967Please respect copyright.PENANAcIreJM91JO
"So, should we teach them the new dance moves we have been working on?" Mike asked as he turned to me.967Please respect copyright.PENANA6BJkol1YsG
"Ya, sure," I said. "It's okay with me."967Please respect copyright.PENANAkkJNltb0gG
Mike soon started to 967Please respect copyright.PENANAvbV9iuT6Qe
teach the trainees the dance moves and surprisingly, they got to learn 967Please respect copyright.PENANAlYonguv4EJ
it quicker than I anticipated. They were really talented, I had to give 967Please respect copyright.PENANA47kLMRT2rL
them credit for that.967Please respect copyright.PENANA5XOwYuZ7ZX
"Wow, for trainees, you're really good," said Mike, as he turned to face them.967Please respect copyright.PENANATKy48vTlPW
"We try," said the boy. "We have been watching you practise, so it wasn't that hard."967Please respect copyright.PENANAytmP8gm2rA
"We didn't get to know your names," said Daniel.967Please respect copyright.PENANAAnQsBLuNKT
"I'm Soo Mi," said the girl.967Please respect copyright.PENANAG0B0RIMaiv
"I'm Young Jin," said the boy.967Please respect copyright.PENANArW3oXTiQw3
"It's really nice to meet you guys," I said. "Why don't we go through the dance moves together and see how it all turns out?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAFSOyu9IlxY
Everyone agreed. We 967Please respect copyright.PENANAjBN8up30Mn
positioned ourselves and started going through the moves again and it 967Please respect copyright.PENANA5LeSYt3rUl
was awesome. When we were done, everyone cheered and we all gave each 967Please respect copyright.PENANAebkoBvxj05
other high fives.967Please respect copyright.PENANAo7ZxuMd4i5
"This is so much fun," I said.967Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ7aA6wxNt
"Ya, I know, we should be doing this more often with other trainees," said Mike.967Please respect copyright.PENANARDLJDIxSlh
"Ya, but we have to finish this dance routine, Mike," said Zoey. "So, work on it."967Please respect copyright.PENANAjHsALn1zeQ
While I turned to talk to the trainees, I noticed Lee come into the studio. And she seemed to be coming straight for me.967Please respect copyright.PENANAuUEyiXbIsc
"Sam, we need to go," said Lee as she came close.967Please respect copyright.PENANAjAKBpNzwId
"Go? Go where?" I asked looking confused.967Please respect copyright.PENANAirEzR8XQ31
"The reporters are here, you know, over the video of you and G-Dragon."967Please respect copyright.PENANAWWUsGaNu6L
Yikes! I was enjoying 967Please respect copyright.PENANApXuSZ6nboj
myself with practice and being friends with the trainees, I forgot all 967Please respect copyright.PENANAwOPrzpX7Yu
about the video. I wish the reporters should just forget about the 967Please respect copyright.PENANAS7zFw2BjlU
stupid video for once and let it be.967Please respect copyright.PENANAqfLLHq131g
But that wasn't my only 967Please respect copyright.PENANA5A6VKKNxk6
fear. I am going to be with GD for the interview and the thought of 967Please respect copyright.PENANAN2McIR1sFU
being next to him somehow made me nervous. I realised that I had 967Please respect copyright.PENANAxWVt5BVDa6
goosebumps all over my arms just at the thought of it. I just hope he 967Please respect copyright.PENANAQGFDDVgg7R
isn't mad at me anymore. But I was going to trust my gut and say that he967Please respect copyright.PENANAQTv0H8DEL5
probably still is.967Please respect copyright.PENANAGqCkltS28P
"Wait, they are having their interview today?" Zoey asked.967Please respect copyright.PENANAincle8HVUK
"Yes, and right now," said Lee. "Go and freshen up, Sam. You must be ready within fifteen minutes."967Please respect copyright.PENANAWwN8wJx1uR
"Um, okay," I said. I could even hear my voice breaking. 967Please respect copyright.PENANA5zbzBv8hfP
"Is GD already here?" Christine asked.967Please respect copyright.PENANAYJDUYE25oj
When Christine asked the967Please respect copyright.PENANAM1oNvwMpxC
question, I felt my heart stop beating. Eish! I was nervous for sure. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAKB0DBBru35
The thought of GD being here almost made me want to run.967Please respect copyright.PENANA84DjCdm9TU
"No, but he will be here any moment," Lee replied. "Come on, Sam. You better take a shower."967Please respect copyright.PENANAtKHU95YFDS
Somehow, it felt good 967Please respect copyright.PENANA7K4A8JgNNv
that I was going to take a shower. Maybe I would cool off and try to 967Please respect copyright.PENANAxWs3MssRHY
calm down with all of this. But I felt that wasn't going to be the case.967Please respect copyright.PENANAb7ik1GuZSM
"See you later, guys," I said as I followed Lee who led the way out of the studio.967Please respect copyright.PENANASsSmEXFsjm
Everyone waved and 967Please respect copyright.PENANAaunF081x25
wished me luck. Dealing with reporters wasn't easy and you just didn't 967Please respect copyright.PENANAJRsj6CpTcK
need luck to confront them. You needed guts and confidence.967Please respect copyright.PENANAp0aVbmNeon
I needed luck to be on my side though, because dealing with G-Dragon wasn't going to be easy.967Please respect copyright.PENANAUPgskcx6A3
***967Please respect copyright.PENANA5E6FLm5YEE
The make-up artists were967Please respect copyright.PENANAPmY82C89pH
done powdering my face and my hair was all combed and tied up in a pony967Please respect copyright.PENANAr8gEKLf6ZF
tail. I wanted to look simple in front of the cameras and reporters 967Please respect copyright.PENANA1r5MVNdAgi
just like I always have. Except whenever I have to shoot for music 967Please respect copyright.PENANAPQKEBtoprB
videos and taking photo shoots, I have to apply make-up just to fit in 967Please respect copyright.PENANAlEzq8HzJMG
with the scene.967Please respect copyright.PENANAGfuklLmKjV
When the make-up artists967Please respect copyright.PENANAOJJNZ9zVRI
were done and I was applying pink lip gloss on my lips, I heard quick 967Please respect copyright.PENANA0JlTyXq6vv
chattering behind me and someone mentioned G-Dragon's name. I turned to 967Please respect copyright.PENANAVSAe6yKO5G
look behind me and I saw G-Dragon entering the dressing room.967Please respect copyright.PENANAkOdfKdj2gp
My heart skipped a beat 967Please respect copyright.PENANAp3p0mFHm4B
as I watched him. He didn't seem to notice me at first because of the 967Please respect copyright.PENANAAodCRGD7qE
make-up artists and clothe designers that surrounded him trying to 967Please respect copyright.PENANADUswpdpgaJ
figure out if he needed a bit of make-up and a change of clothes. But 967Please respect copyright.PENANAiZF4sdsOBZ
just the way he was dressed seemed okay to me and they seemed to have 967Please respect copyright.PENANAnMYsk5xjJC
noticed that too because, they backed away from him and went on to do 967Please respect copyright.PENANA2vwmLADtur
their own things.967Please respect copyright.PENANArogb9Hsq1R
He dyed his hair blonde 967Please respect copyright.PENANA0hPrEYNAEh
this time around and it matched with his white fancy jacket with gold 967Please respect copyright.PENANAnZPqpcJds8
studs on the collar and a black shirt beneath. They never call him a 967Please respect copyright.PENANAi6HHpAWA3t
fashionista for nothing.967Please respect copyright.PENANAgQDCq7CQ1n
When he looked in my direction, he saw me and he immediately looked the other way as though I was nothing.967Please respect copyright.PENANA5R7IT2QqnS
Ouch! That's gotta hurt!967Please respect copyright.PENANApzGqfTrEb2
I felt my face grow hot in embarrassment. He was still mad at me. I 967Please respect copyright.PENANATkNEgUDIcz
slowly turned to face the mirror again trying to act like nothing was 967Please respect copyright.PENANAiHT7gs6DAr
wrong, when I was actually hurt.967Please respect copyright.PENANAqfiHISo1z4
Through the mirror, I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAcsnYg2vq2T
saw G-Dragon take a seat on the other side of the dressing room facing a967Please respect copyright.PENANAKHg9FAYvCv
mirror. He was looking down on his phone, probably texting or 967Please respect copyright.PENANA0xoK6DSE8U
something, and I continued to stare at him.967Please respect copyright.PENANARXWbhJ9N6h
G-Dragon looked up at 967Please respect copyright.PENANAzDWbJY9IqO
the mirror in front of him and I bet he saw me looking at him through my967Please respect copyright.PENANA3xKhsGQ1xR
mirror because he had a funny look on his face and he went back to 967Please respect copyright.PENANAn7tg3IfjBf
looking at his phone. Bummer! I could tell by the way he looked at the 967Please respect copyright.PENANAsRzKSOLpot
mirror that he obviously saw me looking at him. I sighed in deep regret 967Please respect copyright.PENANAeP6hQoQxGH
and looked the other way. I had never felt so alone.967Please respect copyright.PENANAQwmX8sGqfB
Then all of the sudden, 967Please respect copyright.PENANAhvPpaDMJM0
someone behind me held my shoulders and I almost jumped in fright. I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAl6Fqpbchti
looked behind me and there stood Daesung. 967Please respect copyright.PENANA3xcOcFQNUI
"Hey, little kitty. Your head's in the clouds today," he said, as he continued to look down at me and smiled. "What's up?"967Please respect copyright.PENANARxV4w8uSu6
At that moment, I was so967Please respect copyright.PENANAMRP6JCKCQI
glad that he was here. Right now I needed someone to talk to. I smiled 967Please respect copyright.PENANAH1dOWZ71Le
back up at him. His smile and his presence seemed to have brighten my 967Please respect copyright.PENANA2n7xPIqQDl
mood a little.967Please respect copyright.PENANAAzzvxB0auQ
"Take a seat and I'll tell you," I said.967Please respect copyright.PENANAWGCuMOfZhn
"Okay, sounds serious," said Daesung as he grabbed a chair and sat next to me.967Please respect copyright.PENANA9KfIk7M8LK
When I looked at 967Please respect copyright.PENANA0nTjPOFypU
Daesung, I felt myself blush. With our shoulders almost brushing each 967Please respect copyright.PENANA3rdXypJnk7
other, I could feel the electric pull between us and I hope he wasn't 967Please respect copyright.PENANAGjbWTELgWY
feeling it too. It brought back memories of what happened the day before967Please respect copyright.PENANAS9y6rEtEjD
yesterday. The two of us hadn't even tried to bring up that topic yet. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAFXLm7U0kGz
Maybe we never will.967Please respect copyright.PENANArSrhM9ULmk
"So, tell me, what's wrong?" Daesung asked.967Please respect copyright.PENANAbS0e1XBoXT
"Everything is wrong," I slowly replied.967Please respect copyright.PENANA1NOG8dc5P0
"Is it about yesterday?"967Please respect copyright.PENANA4IO2DSX5HK
"Ya, it is."967Please respect copyright.PENANA3JgxyHs4IG
Daesung looked behind 967Please respect copyright.PENANAi749nWjRAf
him because he knew what I was taking about. I also turned and G-Dragon 967Please respect copyright.PENANAI2EDgCcLGO
was still on his phone ignoring everyone around him. He seemed lost in 967Please respect copyright.PENANACBJYyjGtDs
his own world.967Please respect copyright.PENANAOOAHB3qz5O
"He's still mad, isn't he?" Daesung asked as he turned to face me.967Please respect copyright.PENANA8lImua6mFV
"Pretty much," I replied. "He didn't say a word to me when he came in and ignored me as though I didn't exist."967Please respect copyright.PENANAzSRoTDpkVc
"Let's just hope he doesn't stay that way for long."967Please respect copyright.PENANAO0D9ZtpsDt
"I hope so too. But why do I get the feeling that this is only going to get worse?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAaz677wIThE
"Stop thinking like that, okay?" Daesung held my hand that was on my lap. That sent tingles up my arm and down my spine.967Please respect copyright.PENANAYzNuZwaJpb
"I can't, Daesung," I said. "My gut feeling has never failed me before. Why should it now?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAg8vOXqgQM1
"I don't have the answer to that. And it seems to me you really trust your gut a lot."967Please respect copyright.PENANA0XO5re9HUY
"Dah, I always do," I said rolling my eyes playfully as I smiled.967Please respect copyright.PENANAcTa47tFRPm
Daesung laughed and that967Please respect copyright.PENANAH196quBCfr
caused me to laugh also. I felt so relieved that I shared this with 967Please respect copyright.PENANATTIVFkjaK9
Daesung. He is so nice, caring and understanding, just like Taeyang.967Please respect copyright.PENANAOx7SE1wna1
I soon felt someone's 967Please respect copyright.PENANArLE3iEy0I9
eyes on me as I laughed. I looked behind me. For a moment, I had a 967Please respect copyright.PENANAZh1StJbdDw
feeling that G-Dragon was staring at us through the mirror, but his eyes967Please respect copyright.PENANAvNZf2M6rLK
were still on the phone. Maybe I was just imagining things.967Please respect copyright.PENANAM5dF6BxKbu
Lee suddenly came in the dressing room and said, "Sam, Ji Yong, it's time to go. The reporters are waiting."967Please respect copyright.PENANA4OHidAXIAF
I quickly stood up and 967Please respect copyright.PENANAKFsCfAcTY7
checked if my clothes were alright. I was wearing a blue summer dress 967Please respect copyright.PENANAxqFdrxsMRI
with purple flowers on it and white flats.967Please respect copyright.PENANArCMz36CLML
"You look beautiful, Sam," said Daesung. "Just stunning."967Please respect copyright.PENANADz317OyF85
I smiled and I blushed like crazy. Right now, I had to focus on the interview and Daesung was sweeping me off my feet.967Please respect copyright.PENANA2M7SEFRLDn
"Thanks, Daesung," I smiled, as I continued to blush.967Please respect copyright.PENANAUzGzqWTIzA
I noticed G-Dragon stare967Please respect copyright.PENANAdkmgR29SgX
at us as he stood up from his chair. And when I turned to face him, he 967Please respect copyright.PENANAGI8QAOLmk0
quickly looked away and walked out of the dressing room, bypassing Lee 967Please respect copyright.PENANAAB8k3AdQfP
who was by the door. For a moment, the room was silent as everyone, 967Please respect copyright.PENANApR3iB9LThw
including the people who worked around the dressing room, noticed 967Please respect copyright.PENANA3C6I4VrFbA
G-Dragon's odd behaviour.967Please respect copyright.PENANAbpWS0gmcbJ
"Wow. What's wrong with him?" Lee asked as she pointed her thumb down the hall where G-Dragon had passed.967Please respect copyright.PENANAHcWJVUjf9j
"Long story," I answered. "We better go."967Please respect copyright.PENANAjCNcIXUaV4
Lee nodded her head and I turned to face Daesung.967Please respect copyright.PENANAlM1qf8Za1Z
"You'll be fine, don't worry about it," said Daesung as he smiled at me.967Please respect copyright.PENANAeKIvDFipWB
"Thanks," I tried to put up a smile, but it all felt useless.967Please respect copyright.PENANAuEb5gtUyIQ
Lee and I walked out of 967Please respect copyright.PENANAum34BPX2Li
the dressing room together and it seemed like G-Dragon had already taken967Please respect copyright.PENANANeOWimxRQu
off into the elevator without us because he wasn't in the hallway. The 967Please respect copyright.PENANAQW0pWyvPc1
guilt came back to settle within me and I couldn't help but blame myself967Please respect copyright.PENANAt3a5nEBcZM
that it was all my fault he was acting this way.967Please respect copyright.PENANAS8e6nakYD9
When Lee and I got into 967Please respect copyright.PENANASgeKuz3aau
the elevator, she asked, "why does G-Dragon seem so upset? I noticed the967Please respect copyright.PENANAhT22Gi7Rl6
way he looked at you. Weren't you supposed to be mad at him for what 967Please respect copyright.PENANAMc4l6l8cQT
happened at Caribbean Bay?"967Please respect copyright.PENANArb7TZ29fGS
"A lot has happened that967Please respect copyright.PENANAMezihAZS50
you don't know about, Lee," I said, staring at my feet as the elevator 967Please respect copyright.PENANATC9G3DNsw5
continued to move. "So much that I can't explain."967Please respect copyright.PENANAiDuBrJAU84
"Like what? I heard you guys had lunch yesterday and things didn't turn out well."967Please respect copyright.PENANAGgEJFWuttH
"Where did you hear that from?" I asked as I quickly turned to look at her.967Please respect copyright.PENANAVqvC5juJ3T
"Too much gossip among 967Please respect copyright.PENANARolnV2p3Uj
the working staff at the hotel," said Lee with a smile. "Don't worry 967Please respect copyright.PENANAgm6HA0LmVe
though. They said it didn't seem so serious."967Please respect copyright.PENANAco5vAe5bYq
"Wait? You understand Korean?" I grew even more surprised when that thought suddenly dawned on me.967Please respect copyright.PENANAL6bzCtKGZS
"Dah," said Lee, rolling967Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ3V9Ev8Yi
her eyes and the elevator doors slid open. "Why do you think I was able967Please respect copyright.PENANAbPhAJAy1bv
to hold Yang Hyun-suk and Collins for so long at YG? Oh, and don't tell967Please respect copyright.PENANAQtCNkSNhKF
Collins. He doesn't know either."967Please respect copyright.PENANAQlxanb5ZOQ
"You never told me what happened," I said as the two of us stepped out of the elevator.967Please respect copyright.PENANAWe3gYageCW
"Well, I think the both 967Please respect copyright.PENANA7JKstReeKE
of us have a lot of catching up to do after this," said Lee as we both 967Please respect copyright.PENANAQzDqcoNXOE
walked down the hallway and turned round the corner. "Right now, it's 967Please respect copyright.PENANA560L5vmh9O
showtime."967Please respect copyright.PENANAaRtjiRZOJc
It was showtime indeed. I967Please respect copyright.PENANAzxy4McxOoY
found Collins, Yang Hyun-suk and G-Dragon talking amongst themselves in967Please respect copyright.PENANAZS4EC5Yz1U
the hallway. Behind them was the door that led to the conference room. I967Please respect copyright.PENANAmz4f7MejwE
could hear voices of the reporters behind the door and I felt my palms 967Please respect copyright.PENANAZqSV5fsQzI
starting to sweat. I wasn't such a fan of interviews and I hated them.967Please respect copyright.PENANAzPM7UFFe82
"Ah, here she comes," said Yang Hyun-suk as he noticed Lee and I approach. "You're looking very lovely today."967Please respect copyright.PENANApq34bDjC86
I bowed my head at him and said slowly, "gomawoyo (고마워요) (thank you), Hyun-suk Sajangnim (사장님) (Boss)."967Please respect copyright.PENANAXq4ZAfJDdj
"I'm impressed," said Yang Hyun-suk, with a smile on his face. "You're really learning."967Please respect copyright.PENANA0NFxBg3lET
"Well, I try to do the best I could," I said.967Please respect copyright.PENANA63q4Raqv8X
"Sam really knows how to adapt to the environment she's in," said Collins. "No wonder she's so smart."967Please respect copyright.PENANAxAQr3UHmcj
"No doubt about that," said Yang Hyun-suk. "And she's looking really lovely today, isn't that right, GD?"967Please respect copyright.PENANA6RxnLvome8
My heart almost skipped a967Please respect copyright.PENANAIlTIWfT5WB
beat as I turned to look at G-Dragon who was also looking at me. For a 967Please respect copyright.PENANAD7tiHHBDMV
moment, he didn't reply and I was scared at what he was going to say.967Please respect copyright.PENANACTy7fcvGsw
Surprisingly, he managed967Please respect copyright.PENANAFxHTJZgOd5
to put up a smile on his face. For a moment there, his smile seemed 967Please respect copyright.PENANAottiOHQYVk
genuine, but I could feel the negative energy behind it.967Please respect copyright.PENANAmD4kdsrHku
"Yes, she does look lovely today," G-Dragon replied.967Please respect copyright.PENANA3j8FO9SWzY
I didn't know whether I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5m5oxQY2V
should run or remain where I was. I couldn't stand this any longer. I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAg2Uywo2H0Z
felt he was some psychopathic killer ready to jump on me when no one was967Please respect copyright.PENANAOzk5yPnn1T
looking. And honestly, I felt pretty terrified.967Please respect copyright.PENANAmwK4V0ySZG
The door soon flew open 967Please respect copyright.PENANAhCrCaPDCSu
and someone came to inform us that everything was all set and ready to 967Please respect copyright.PENANAzdtSzyFsr9
go. I breathed out heavily as I tried to calm myself and we walked 967Please respect copyright.PENANAMNENJeRaHC
towards the door. My palms were still sweaty.967Please respect copyright.PENANAU4P5a7k6jo
"Hey, don't worry about a thing," said Lee as she reached me to the door. "You'll be alright."967Please respect copyright.PENANANQ0bRmzEw3
All I could do was nod my head at Lee and I stepped in to the conference room first with G-Dragon behind me.967Please respect copyright.PENANA3zCIbgCoFh
The flashing lights of 967Please respect copyright.PENANA1Bxx1oMxKI
the cameras flashed around me. They blinded my eyes for a moment, but I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAzaZ83QHieq
pretended not to flinch as I continued to walk up to the small podium 967Please respect copyright.PENANAA0cMJR6CIB
and there stood a table with four chairs.967Please respect copyright.PENANAfaSBXmWFWW
I got up to the podium 967Please respect copyright.PENANAHmNapQCwmn
and I was guided where to sit. There were four chairs behind the table 967Please respect copyright.PENANATc8QMAvcDR
and I sat in the middle and G-Dragon sat next to me. Collins sat to my 967Please respect copyright.PENANAfRA3ZY6noE
left while Yang Hyun-suk sat to G-Dragon's right.967Please respect copyright.PENANALhMREb9aPW
The bright lights of the967Please respect copyright.PENANAOgM6QAPKAZ
flashing cameras continued to flash in front of my eyes and it took 967Please respect copyright.PENANAknWtfApgMB
time to regain my vision. I soon noticed that there were a lot more 967Please respect copyright.PENANAV1osQ9a6FU
reporters and camera men in the conference room than I had anticipated. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAep11LLbqWi
My hands were as sweaty as hell and I felt them shivering. I bet this 967Please respect copyright.PENANAN9V5nTUt1J
interview was going live on national TV because I noticed video cameras 967Please respect copyright.PENANAf9m3D96GLG
around the room.967Please respect copyright.PENANAo8KlkeBwTd
"Good morning, 967Please respect copyright.PENANAg25Mr3Ks7T
everyone," said Yang Hyun-suk through the set of microphones that were 967Please respect copyright.PENANAMWy9CiNjis
in front of him on the table. "We may now proceed with the interview. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAgqOume4XxZ
You may begin to ask your questions."967Please respect copyright.PENANAhsDKoDY0Gv
The thing I always hated967Please respect copyright.PENANAcBUpX1sWmF
about interviews, was that reporters could ask the dumbest questions, 967Please respect copyright.PENANAW4ePMcfcjE
the personal ones, the most hurtful ones, the most confusing ones and 967Please respect copyright.PENANA11UU13pOHj
the inappropriate ones. I hoped and prayed that the first question 967Please respect copyright.PENANAwMqHQ4IwNN
wasn't going to be any of the five I had in mind. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAVvfZzUo5VL
A lady among the 967Please respect copyright.PENANATkJSzAdfem
reporters raised her hand and Yang Hyun-suk told her to proceed. I had 967Please respect copyright.PENANASOC3xCVU8e
my fingers crossed. I always hated such moments.967Please respect copyright.PENANACuRcOjeHID
"I'm Mi Sun from MBC 967Please respect copyright.PENANAWrhwf0mzWI
TV," said the reporter. "On Tuesday this week, a video of YG's own 967Please respect copyright.PENANAtnMhaGYmMZ
phenomenal artist, G-Dragon, and Samantha Glasson, also known as B.K, 967Please respect copyright.PENANA5DvEPRSAks
was released on YouTube and almost became a worldwide trend. My 967Please respect copyright.PENANAADKT4EyJm1
question, probably on everyone's mind is, are the two of them dating?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAWKVau58EHy
Yang Hyun-suk answered, 967Please respect copyright.PENANA1kdquiKF9y
"we can assure you that the two of them aren't dating. That video wasn't967Please respect copyright.PENANAttfxtPgNIm
supposed to be aired on YouTube."967Please respect copyright.PENANAoxiNwecdh0
"If it wasn't supposed to be aired, then who did this and why?" the reporter asked.967Please respect copyright.PENANAvApwng9B0r
Ah, oh. Was this the 967Please respect copyright.PENANApY7soi7IOP
part where either G-Dragon and I were supposed to answer the question? 967Please respect copyright.PENANAyL6R6DiEth
If so, I wasn't ready to tell them that my very own best friend had done967Please respect copyright.PENANAbYIaUanygM
all this. I feared of what the outcome may be.967Please respect copyright.PENANApFHfbCaLAV
"The person who took the video was none other than our very own, Zoey," Collins answered.967Please respect copyright.PENANAiHCzcSw6Gi
From the corner of my 967Please respect copyright.PENANAdYOMu7h4f5
eye, I looked at Collins. I knew Collins wouldn't want to make Zoey look967Please respect copyright.PENANAYt8mULu56Q
bad for any reason at all, but it looks like he and Yang Hyun-suk were 967Please respect copyright.PENANAcxHqRbIID7
sticking to the truth. I might as well just do the same.967Please respect copyright.PENANA1EOpOxGed7
Another reporter, a man this time around, raised a hand and Yang Hyun-suk allowed him to speak.967Please respect copyright.PENANADhjFGOYjRw
"Thank you, my name is 967Please respect copyright.PENANAW2uUWmc8ro
Jin Soo from KBS," said the male reporter. "I think a lot of people 967Please respect copyright.PENANAn1r052Xb6n
would want to know after hearing all of this, why would Zoey post that 967Please respect copyright.PENANARc07xTYSVS
video? From the look of things, what was going on between GD and BK 967Please respect copyright.PENANAtxtrVbuItv
seemed like a private affair, or was the video all for show?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAcyCdRbFyHh
This was what I feared. I967Please respect copyright.PENANAGo0WuY35GP
bet a lot of our fans were thinking G-Dragon and I were actually dating967Please respect copyright.PENANAOMYbYas2cm
and had high hopes. Now that people know the truth, it would crush the 967Please respect copyright.PENANAUWu1k9DWEs
fans and Zoey would end up being the villain. But telling the truth was 967Please respect copyright.PENANA6CbcAEInxh
really the best option. It wouldn't seem right, now that GD and I were 967Please respect copyright.PENANAJUwuNlCuP6
clearly not on good terms at the moment, to tell the whole world a lie.967Please respect copyright.PENANAHUgZKAArne
"I think I'll answer that question," said G-Dragon.967Please respect copyright.PENANAyOZ8ZagJPI
For a moment, my heart 967Please respect copyright.PENANAi3jfsfQrkZ
almost skipped a beat as G-Dragon spoke through the mic. I turned to 967Please respect copyright.PENANA9w4efhGGJ4
look at him. I just hoped he wasn't going to say anything that would 967Please respect copyright.PENANA7ee10Qiz2a
raise more questions from the reporters.967Please respect copyright.PENANAMk4HcjOtaS
"The video you saw on YouTube wasn't for show," said G-Dragon. "All that was actually real."967Please respect copyright.PENANAYNVQf9seG6
"And you allowed Zoey to take the video?" the male reporter asked.967Please respect copyright.PENANA1k6do4pe5b
"No, apparently, we never realised that Zoey was taking the video until it was already too late."967Please respect copyright.PENANAKSiXRLr6OF
"But why did she do all that? Can you explain what her intentions were at the time?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAzeFdUt45FW
I knew G-Dragon wasn't 967Please respect copyright.PENANAvsubghd8ou
going to answer that question because no one knew Zoey better than I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAoklH77lAMC
did. So without realising it, I stepped in.967Please respect copyright.PENANApCffkpqq6y
"I know what Zoey did by967Please respect copyright.PENANASFhsBRUb2N
releasing the video has raised a lot of questions in everyone's mind," I967Please respect copyright.PENANAQN5Rud1KXK
said, confidently. "Many of our fans had high hopes that GD and I were 967Please respect copyright.PENANAmPfXEAXOWt
dating, but that's not the case. What happened was nothing but a 967Please respect copyright.PENANAr4G14TkIkc
misunderstanding."967Please respect copyright.PENANAWgo8UX2tr7
Immediately I said those967Please respect copyright.PENANAO4yeACCgxL
words, everyone's eyes were on me now, including those around the world967Please respect copyright.PENANAcuftQP6Lhf
probably watching on their television screens or devices. Yang 967Please respect copyright.PENANAkWH0Fe4ROx
Hyun-suk, Collins and G-Dragon also stared at me. The camera lights kept967Please respect copyright.PENANAQAEG0bIao4
on flashing in my face like crazy. I wish I could tell the camera men 967Please respect copyright.PENANAV62Gc6INgz
to stop because the flashing lights were so annoying. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAa9iiBpVXIQ
I continued before any 967Please respect copyright.PENANAIjFC8eygQn
reporter could ask what I meant. "The truth is, what was going on 967Please respect copyright.PENANAj4kyMtRe8y
between GD and I was real. He gave me chocolates and roses because he 967Please respect copyright.PENANA6QU4nmtggr
was trying to make up for not being there for me the previous day and to967Please respect copyright.PENANAdFfFXonNM9
congratulate me on making it on the Elle Korean Magazine Cover. So, him967Please respect copyright.PENANARzbJne7PTE
giving me those gifts were more like saying 'congratulations' and 'I'm 967Please respect copyright.PENANAUzda866dZk
sorry for not being there' kind of thing."967Please respect copyright.PENANAdGYSUG0eZu
For a moment, no one 967Please respect copyright.PENANAYnsxXkhupm
said a word, not even the reporters. I turned to Collins, who gave me a 967Please respect copyright.PENANAmhuFiPohLc
nod to go on. I continued to stare at the audience of reporters and 967Please respect copyright.PENANA8IEdXHbONt
camera men. I could feel G-Dragon's eyes on me though. But that 967Please respect copyright.PENANA9LFiXRgYJf
shouldn't intimidate me. I cleared my throat and went on.967Please respect copyright.PENANA57oy2I9nfk
"And knowing Zoey, she's967Please respect copyright.PENANAJJIB2XrGVh
one who likes to capture such beautiful moments. So, she decided to 967Please respect copyright.PENANAiYbI4TaRNf
take a video of what was happening. And before we could realise what was967Please respect copyright.PENANAATNtQKGOiJ
going on, it was already too late. She first posted it on her fan base,967Please respect copyright.PENANAWKmdn7QVja
which she usually does. But before she could take it down, her loyal 967Please respect copyright.PENANAVxx1yxN6gy
fans had already seen it and probably one of them posted it on YouTube. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAgIscSwhgX3
And that's how everything came to be up to this point."967Please respect copyright.PENANA6b0JzjUJDX
All the reporters who 967Please respect copyright.PENANAfMF1pOQhYy
were taking down what I was saying, started muttering among themselves 967Please respect copyright.PENANALng2dDZmfB
as though we were in a debate room. I didn't know what they would 967Please respect copyright.PENANAYusqcCed04
obviously be talking about and I hoped that they weren't going to ask a 967Please respect copyright.PENANABEgbMJphJv
question that might just intimidate me.967Please respect copyright.PENANAFoEVGqHzue
The same female reporter from MBC raised her hand and she was told to proceed. I feared for my life.967Please respect copyright.PENANAu3xCWWbdaw
"So what you're trying to say, B.K, is that all this is Zoey's fault?" the reporter asked.967Please respect copyright.PENANA6mYIEd9er9
"Well, I could blame 967Please respect copyright.PENANAwhieZqRh8j
Zoey because she was the one who took the video in the first place and 967Please respect copyright.PENANAsKy9vVWpal
without our permission. But it's not entirely her fault," I replied. 967Please respect copyright.PENANA4wyl7DzRtn
"I've grown to know her very well because she's my best friend. I know 967Please respect copyright.PENANAveZc8PuMUn
she didn't mean any harm by raising people's hopes that we were dating. 967Please respect copyright.PENANASrZDJWlB02
Knowing her, she thought she could try to capture the great friendship 967Please respect copyright.PENANAD5Zj1zswSi
that G-Dragon and I have."967Please respect copyright.PENANAwI6YY5EWO5
What was I saying? I 967Please respect copyright.PENANA0JyEcpAAnE
know I am being honest and genuine, but saying it with G-Dragon by my 967Please respect copyright.PENANA2DDWd4nWN3
side felt awkward. If people got to know that G-Dragon and I had quiet a967Please respect copyright.PENANAfcN2cV2zpZ
misunderstanding the other day, it would surly raise questions and the 967Please respect copyright.PENANADg9jnx56yM
whole world would criticise me.967Please respect copyright.PENANAW3Y5Ak808a
I stared at G-Dragon 967Please respect copyright.PENANAhfJuw1caDt
beside me and he was still staring at me. I could see it in his eyes 967Please respect copyright.PENANARZzRfZzS1O
that me saying all that felt wrong, but all that happened way before the967Please respect copyright.PENANAFtTNNoR2Pw
argument. I was hurting as I said all that and I wish I could turn back967Please respect copyright.PENANAC4rZ0JhtqJ
the hands of time and set things right.967Please respect copyright.PENANAYkgZjikuV7
"And also, she's always 967Please respect copyright.PENANAowh02coU4Q
admired G-Dragon," I continued, as I turned to the audience. "So, I bet 967Please respect copyright.PENANAaH31u5tQKZ
she was trying to capture G-Dragon's great personality. We all know how 967Please respect copyright.PENANAHE29lFBrKy
much of a good guy he is, so, that's why Zoey did all that."967Please respect copyright.PENANAWrPKsmwNSw
I think I had said 967Please respect copyright.PENANAu9cCkOAUi3
enough and I kept quiet. This was awkward and I could feel that G-Dragon967Please respect copyright.PENANA7ltHDG95sa
was feeling the same way. All I wanted was for this interview to be 967Please respect copyright.PENANAjc54Uwfa7B
over and get out of the conference room.967Please respect copyright.PENANABDKkxONarK
"So, you two are clearly not dating?" the reporter asked.967Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ7NuX1fjL
"No," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time.967Please respect copyright.PENANAv61CtXMGmI
Okay. That felt weird. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAM2NqVw0vh0
My eyes flew at G-Dragon and he also turned to look at me. That made 967Please respect copyright.PENANAtRyQjOGuuC
things even more weirder. I bet those watching on national TV would 967Please respect copyright.PENANAsRWjq5Kr06
either find all of this a show or something beyond the ordinary.967Please respect copyright.PENANAmkxGFdgKGs
"And you guys wouldn't 967Please respect copyright.PENANAJhOMtXXdTP
like to date in future?" the reporter continued. "Because a lot has been967Please respect copyright.PENANADJ2SyTNOGI
said since the video came out that you two would make a great couple."967Please respect copyright.PENANASOkiS8FP1X
"No, we wouldn't."967Please respect copyright.PENANAnSgzQujzhU
Dang it! We replied at 967Please respect copyright.PENANABadZg9oHeQ
the same time, again! This wasn't going so well and we both knew it as 967Please respect copyright.PENANAKlHNhCtXu3
we stared at each other. These were the times you would tell the 967Please respect copyright.PENANAet5084Dco2
reporters to mind their own business and walk away like you didn't care.967Please respect copyright.PENANAmmn0XIoOR2
This was turning out to be just terrible.967Please respect copyright.PENANAqy0ZNbczrE
"There would be no need 967Please respect copyright.PENANAOgw75BvsLX
to ask such questions," said Collins. "The Toxins are here in South 967Please respect copyright.PENANAj2X98214gc
Korea strictly for business. There would be no point for Sam and Ji Yong967Please respect copyright.PENANAlpddkUpxPf
to start dating when The Toxins would obviously stay here for less than967Please respect copyright.PENANATIMrj8olCY
a month or two."967Please respect copyright.PENANAmUEnyJPhlo
Phew! Thank you, 967Please respect copyright.PENANASKNZXh8grW
Collins! No wonder I considered him as my top guardian angel. I was so 967Please respect copyright.PENANAdMNZfOeuKH
glad that he finally decided to step in or else I would obviously have 967Please respect copyright.PENANAwE4FLyyVLZ
told the reporter to piss off.967Please respect copyright.PENANA9hoqXBqE9U
"So, how is the song 967Please respect copyright.PENANAhK2o5sQIBy
coming along?" the reporter asked. "Because I heard The Toxins and 967Please respect copyright.PENANAUdPg2sar7z
BigBang had quiet a fun ride at Caribbean Bay the day before."967Please respect copyright.PENANAcwusdKSKky
Oh no. That question was clearly not necessary. Aargh! This was what I considered the inappropriate question.967Please respect copyright.PENANACKWKI3BM5q
"I don't see why you get967Please respect copyright.PENANA0YrUfBPSsQ
to ask that," said Collins. "They went out to have fun and find a 967Please respect copyright.PENANAmtYF2JMbKV
source of inspiration for their song. And why not at Caribbean Bay? I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAMN5yoz8rd7
know Sam and Ji Yong were supposed to be here for the interview that 967Please respect copyright.PENANAKJiC0NoCiz
day, but apparently, you all came at the last minute when they had 967Please respect copyright.PENANAlLDop9szuM
already made plans to go out."967Please respect copyright.PENANADZVeSZXNev
I didn't know whether to967Please respect copyright.PENANAnBjXJgj13f
be impressed that Collins is such a good liar, or I should hug him at 967Please respect copyright.PENANAfMPoHXGEz9
the end of the interview for saving our necks. That was such a close 967Please respect copyright.PENANAGWlqRr0ZQK
call.967Please respect copyright.PENANAtTPCGMkQyG
"I think time is already up," said Yang Hyun-suk. "So, if you would kindly excuse us, we have other schedules to attend to."967Please respect copyright.PENANALTcOjvtEjw
No reporter asked any 967Please respect copyright.PENANA5KixJe3t4h
further questions, that meant all of this was over. Finally! I just 967Please respect copyright.PENANAifr3MA38EN
wanted to get out of here and breathe. I needed the air because things 967Please respect copyright.PENANANtOYLw4lUU
were starting to get a little intense in here.967Please respect copyright.PENANArwEiaWGg0H
When we all got up from 967Please respect copyright.PENANAzV2Xa24Dwt
our chairs to leave, I was backing away from my chair and the back of my967Please respect copyright.PENANAEPmINoVDwS
shoe got caught with one of the cable cords on the floor. Before I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAbOfgT3wRZa
realised it, I tripped and was falling backwards. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAubFOfLyKbG
I almost screamed but before I could even reach the floor, G-Dragon caught me just in time. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAlJzBjdKAv9
The camera lights in 967Please respect copyright.PENANAbTD7YSu86w
front of us flashed like crazy because of the scene. And I couldn't help967Please respect copyright.PENANAI0ttL1Ny5c
but feel that all this just made things a whole lot worse.967Please respect copyright.PENANAxOMMKUlo3t
G-Dragon and I were so 967Please respect copyright.PENANA5VWEw5Ydwa
close and I couldn't help but blush when I looked up at him and he was 967Please respect copyright.PENANA3PhKBUyXOA
staring down at me. I knew that he was still angry at me, but I wanted 967Please respect copyright.PENANArpciNj5Z5C
to forget about that and I hoped he would too. We could both carry on 967Please respect copyright.PENANAQZFuWbVIR2
with our lives as if all that never happened.967Please respect copyright.PENANA5yDIqQ1b6R
He quickly helped me to 967Please respect copyright.PENANAvWTnh2iYm6
straighten up as the camera lights continued to flash before us. I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAc2Kde5TkcL
stared at G-Dragon and I realised that I was still blushing. I took a 967Please respect copyright.PENANAnIBSXbABd8
strand of my hair behind my ear and cleared my throat.967Please respect copyright.PENANA4jOa5cYZJL
"Um, thanks, GD," I said to him.967Please respect copyright.PENANAZm7ZyhcHQC
"You should be a little more careful next time," he replied.967Please respect copyright.PENANAyiSltWchbm
I couldn't tell if he 967Please respect copyright.PENANACuBjwfHqBd
said that because they were reporters around, or he really did care 967Please respect copyright.PENANAMAMWmMuouM
despite being mad at me. That, I'll never know.967Please respect copyright.PENANAOP2MNYVyMR
The four of us walked 967Please respect copyright.PENANASUwnf2vy4D
out of the conference room and I couldn't help but realise that I had 967Please respect copyright.PENANACAdJoLdGNb
another challenge ahead now. And that was the song.967Please respect copyright.PENANAS0DyyaLTYD
***967Please respect copyright.PENANAWGcKdrCJYV
"Sam, you were just awesome! Come here, you!" Zoey exclaimed as she ran towards me and pulled me into a tight hug.967Please respect copyright.PENANAJPnqqvIDX9
G-Dragon and I had just walked out of the conference room and Zoey appeared out of no where.967Please respect copyright.PENANA3EV6Eq18v2
"I thought you weren't supposed to be here," I said to Zoey, still embraced in her arms.967Please respect copyright.PENANAX8GAoUWn38
"Well, ya," said Zoey as967Please respect copyright.PENANASs1OAXS5Bx
she pulled away from me. "I was watching the interview with the others 967Please respect copyright.PENANAOeuZDmdm37
upstairs and when I saw how you defended me in front of those reporters,967Please respect copyright.PENANAh6IDEd8Bgi
I decided to come down here."967Please respect copyright.PENANAbJRSuJhAq4
"You should have seen the way she came," said Lee. "If it wasn't for me, she would have come running into the conference room."967Please respect copyright.PENANAxXM1SwTLAP
"Zoey, what are you doing here?" came Collins' voice behind me. Yikes! Zoey was in for it now.967Please respect copyright.PENANAGA5U4QLtjl
"I came for my best friend," said Zoey. "Is that bad?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAWPlnUkl3pU
"At the moment, yes," 967Please respect copyright.PENANA9VQdPUlVtR
said Collins. "Not when everyone now knows that it's all your fault that967Please respect copyright.PENANAVqQsZY8XSX
you released the video and made everyone have high hopes about Sam and 967Please respect copyright.PENANAWuqD6HtZIh
G-Dragon's relationship. It was best to keep you out of plain site of 967Please respect copyright.PENANAdJWCZmHp0M
the reporters to keep them from asking any more questions."967Please respect copyright.PENANA9LCK55yuZt
"Come on, Collins," said967Please respect copyright.PENANAIRXZFNoYrU
Zoey, shaking her head at her manager. "Don't you know up to now that 967Please respect copyright.PENANAnmGtnMTBah
whatever Sam says to the media everyone will listen and believe her? No 967Please respect copyright.PENANAPmEeW4aGdB
one is going to be mad at me for long if not at all. You'll see."967Please respect copyright.PENANAWmnGk5DhMx
"I don't get it," I 967Please respect copyright.PENANA0NqEc4bWPT
said, with a confused look on my face. "Why do you say no one is going 967Please respect copyright.PENANA7wrQst0STI
to be mad at you because of what I said?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAshNLuKIoCK
"You told the media that967Please respect copyright.PENANAN2LMuv0LHb
even though I made the video, it was partly not all my fault. If you 967Please respect copyright.PENANA07uf0vl5Un
want, Collins, you and I can bet on it. Everyone listens to Sam. She's 967Please respect copyright.PENANAl8Akiw6Y24
like some high-rank public figure. If she were to run for president, she967Please respect copyright.PENANAJa6OJCe6GE
would be instated the very same day."967Please respect copyright.PENANAqhTieHDL7J
Yang Hyun-suk, Lee, 967Please respect copyright.PENANAhYPS30ygRh
G-Dragon and I laughed at Zoey's joke, except Collins. I knew he was 967Please respect copyright.PENANAGu3RmkBf7K
pissed with what Zoey had said, but I had to admit, that was something 967Please respect copyright.PENANAO8WnhSjUxz
even an angry person would laugh about.967Please respect copyright.PENANAxg4nq3peNM
Speaking about angry 967Please respect copyright.PENANA8GqqQae9Za
people, I turned over to G-Dragon who was still laughing. It felt good 967Please respect copyright.PENANArdkt1IR7TC
to see him laugh and I smiled. But very soon, he will be back to the way967Please respect copyright.PENANAXEiIZP8Uwj
he was. Just the thought of that made me swell up with sadness that I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAYLIfAEu0GO
even had to face the other way so that no one would notice it all over 967Please respect copyright.PENANALqtizbak5R
my face.967Please respect copyright.PENANA1TuQbCrX98
"Zoey is one person you 967Please respect copyright.PENANAiICdrQ7zpk
should never throw away in your life, Collins," said Yang Hyun-suk, 967Please respect copyright.PENANAoaHwd7KtkM
holding Collins' shoulder with a bit of laughter on his face. "She's 967Please respect copyright.PENANA1jlY2nZbnq
just hilarious."967Please respect copyright.PENANAWerM2pZswo
"Ya, she's one of a kind," said G-Dragon.967Please respect copyright.PENANAAb7NP2p5Dz
"Ah, and how could I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAs1zdtwkPqV
forget about my lovely G-Dragon," said Zoey, as she came to stand beside967Please respect copyright.PENANAuNyrZCNrNa
G-Dragon and hooked her hand around his elbow. "You looked awesome 967Please respect copyright.PENANA9tcEoQ5Ack
today. And handsome too."967Please respect copyright.PENANA5KTItOuUSg
"Wow, looks like Sam was right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "You do admire G-Dragon."967Please respect copyright.PENANANcxdlz0xH5
"Ya, no one knows me better than Sam," said Zoey with a grin. "If it were possible, I would gladly have dated G-Dragon."967Please respect copyright.PENANAbMmLRkc5Zz
"Don't even think about it," said Collins, pointing a finger at Zoey.967Please respect copyright.PENANArp4lc4jMKq
"I know. 'We're here 967Please respect copyright.PENANAHCf2Gw2Pbo
just to collaborate with BigBang, yadda, yadda, that means no dating 967Please respect copyright.PENANAoAlbHw5Uxu
anyone of them.' I still remember that rule," said Zoey rolling her 967Please respect copyright.PENANA8lBXeVHVR6
eyes.967Please respect copyright.PENANALgXOEW4qOO
"Sometimes I wish I could kill you," said Collins, shaking his head.967Please respect copyright.PENANAmnvuKeBFhk
"But you can't, because you love me just as I love you, Collins," said Zoey, with a huge grin on her face.967Please respect copyright.PENANAwiSCQtweme
"Hilarious," said Yang 967Please respect copyright.PENANAYGAaGvlC93
Hyun-suk. "We better get going. You three have to get that song ready, 967Please respect copyright.PENANAA7OVnVJ48g
while we, have other things to attend to."967Please respect copyright.PENANA6w9LlOXPhf
Oh, the song. For a 967Please respect copyright.PENANAZCPmS0ebxp
moment, I never wanted Yang Hyun-suk or anyone else to mention it. I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAHpmi3rjfGE
felt my heart beat faster and I felt like judgement day had finally 967Please respect copyright.PENANAkd8UlwJMa8
come.967Please respect copyright.PENANAZa6wVD9cNU
We all found ourselves 967Please respect copyright.PENANAKvkfpPkTfV
in the elevator and I was quiet the whole way. The two managers were 967Please respect copyright.PENANAeHMe8CIKYz
busy talking about something important, while Lee, G-Dragon and Zoey 967Please respect copyright.PENANAAsJXvDE7tP
were talking about the interview.967Please respect copyright.PENANAy6X0R5NGEn
When the elevator 967Please respect copyright.PENANArU7n8vtk4u
stopped, Zoey, G-Dragon and I got out and we dropped off on the floor to967Please respect copyright.PENANAd5b2VnBSYe
the recording studios. Our managers and Lee continued on their way 967Please respect copyright.PENANAk3urz0krJH
upwards in the elevator probably heading for Yang Hyun-suk's office.967Please respect copyright.PENANAl4gzbbiJGn
While the three of us 967Please respect copyright.PENANAENPzihNfvh
walked along the hallway, heading for one of the rooms, I couldn't help 967Please respect copyright.PENANA6Of3GixZHp
but fall behind G-Dragon and Zoey as the two walked ahead of me 967Please respect copyright.PENANAeWgwnGHM70
alongside each other. The two were so deep in their own little 967Please respect copyright.PENANAH5LMpIVBdo
conversation, I didn't feel like listening or joining them. At that 967Please respect copyright.PENANAjAkiPqDWKL
point, I felt like I didn't matter.967Please respect copyright.PENANANlFPfZdlb2
We found ourselves in one of the recording studio rooms and we found all our group members waiting for us.967Please respect copyright.PENANAEnapDfumzG
"You're back!" Christine967Please respect copyright.PENANAULd0LaoHsE
ran towards us, coming straight for me and pulling me into a hug. "You 967Please respect copyright.PENANAVW7q2bBuP2
were so brave standing up for Zoey like that."967Please respect copyright.PENANAv6yAOcjbJQ
"You know I don't like interviews," I said, trying to put up a smile. "I was actually scared."967Please respect copyright.PENANAfU7zmguZ89
"You didn't seem that way," said Taeyang. "You looked very calm as though you knew what you were doing."967Please respect copyright.PENANAIScWC478hW
"And you also looked very pretty," said TOP, giving me a wink.967Please respect copyright.PENANAEy6NtejLA2
"Um, th-thanks," I said while my cheeks blushed after Christine had pulled away from me.967Please respect copyright.PENANAIcpXs8um7l
"Ya, you're looking 967Please respect copyright.PENANAfZHBWmv92V
prettier even now," said Seungri, staring at me with dreamy eyes. "I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAq4WXGfw2r0
would've come down there in the conference room and kissed you in front 967Please respect copyright.PENANAexKllzwoEH
of the whole world."967Please respect copyright.PENANAQHVGk1rpfm
Daesung who stood beside967Please respect copyright.PENANA1CvHmgGuMA
him slapped him on the shoulder. Seungri whined in pain while he held 967Please respect copyright.PENANAPC6A9LgOP5
his shoulder and stared at Daesung.967Please respect copyright.PENANAGK3Hxe8Knu
"What?" Seungri asked. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAZU6Y2ceB8Q
"You only want to cause trouble, do you? You should learn to respect Sam, you know," said Daesung.967Please respect copyright.PENANAlZsg0ZxKY5
I couldn't help but get the feeling that Daesung was a little jealous. I couldn't help but smile to myself.967Please respect copyright.PENANAlnMsgPBBZw
"Hello! Isn't anyone going to talk about the little scene that happened at the end of the interview?" Daniel asked.967Please respect copyright.PENANAlcVQ1TDASb
"Oh, the part where 967Please respect copyright.PENANAW0EZJfCTkX
G-Dragon saves Sam from falling?" Zoey asked. "If you're worried that 967Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZheYhZdjU
people would find that romantic, I highly doubt it."967Please respect copyright.PENANA55d1g9Nosg
Highly doubt it? If 967Please respect copyright.PENANA6BQ7L3MAwM
Daniel was thinking the same way I had earlier, people would start to 967Please respect copyright.PENANA1bbxeex48O
make up a love story that barely even existed.967Please respect copyright.PENANAnYOtzg8KpF
"Well, fans do like to 967Please respect copyright.PENANAHTjsGQOcnB
make out a love story out of small things," said Taeyang, scratching his967Please respect copyright.PENANAV3qajVeYjb
head. "I wouldn't be surprised if that happens."967Please respect copyright.PENANALorEqMzod5
Oh, no. Looked like 967Please respect copyright.PENANAxr5QOM8waM
Taeyang was also on this one too. I wished for someone to change the 967Please respect copyright.PENANAP1ug16VepD
subject. This was starting to feel awkward, especially with G-Dragon 967Please respect copyright.PENANApTsxbYm78f
standing right in front of me.967Please respect copyright.PENANAbC0NS5lo4g
I stared at G-Dragon and967Please respect copyright.PENANA3SnrEuess1
I could tell by the look on his face that he didn't want to hear a 967Please respect copyright.PENANAaIUJayxoob
single word concerning love stories. We had other serious things to 967Please respect copyright.PENANA43op8AAguQ
think about.967Please respect copyright.PENANAw4COVYrf91
"Can we drop that for 967Please respect copyright.PENANAGt1CbfPxVF
now and focus on the song instead?" G-Dragon suggested. "We don't have 967Please respect copyright.PENANAanFtY2Uaf7
much time and we need to work on it right away."967Please respect copyright.PENANAO242pbn51U
"GD's right," I said. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAmtLulyZRiu
"We all saw the reporter ask on how much progress we've made and Collins967Please respect copyright.PENANAY7O2XhmYl1
made an effort to cover for us. So, for the sake of our managers, let's967Please respect copyright.PENANAeSRQem2oSs
get to work."967Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y6sf4Gjdu
"But we have to vote again, remember?" TOP reminded us. 967Please respect copyright.PENANA7gJCk97Uip
Everyone fell silent and967Please respect copyright.PENANAiDLdvmYVmm
the room felt awkward. It was like the ghost of yesterday still haunted967Please respect copyright.PENANAqzYbxlqwi0
us even now. Again, I still felt like it was all my fault.967Please respect copyright.PENANAF9WDbIAI8H
"Well, we all agreed yesterday to vote again," said G-Dragon. "So let's get settled and get this over with."967Please respect copyright.PENANAcqji3Fp0yA
When everyone went to 967Please respect copyright.PENANAvNWtB4P3A7
settle down on the black leather seats, I stood on the same spot, deep 967Please respect copyright.PENANAiWqYEmqPd5
in thought. Was all of this worth it? The last thing I wanted was for 967Please respect copyright.PENANATGE5UHw01Y
all of us to be divided because of my stupid suggestion. Maybe I was 967Please respect copyright.PENANAIOyb4b7YXi
wrong this whole time and I shouldn't have done all of this in the first967Please respect copyright.PENANAjnOxcQu0nV
place.967Please respect copyright.PENANAPfICxXJ9Gp
"Hey, Sam are you alright?" TOP asked. "You seem troubled."967Please respect copyright.PENANAWBIzFQcSSW
I came back to reality and I saw everyone staring at me with worried looks on their faces, except G-Dragon.967Please respect copyright.PENANA89VPWtBohs
"Sam, are you okay?" Zoey asked when I didn't answer. "Something is up and you don't look so good. Tell us. What's wrong?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAbP9QoXqH5z
I still didn't say a 967Please respect copyright.PENANA8aeo9woo2t
word as I played around with my fingers. I took in a deep breath and 967Please respect copyright.PENANAMGY7MrC4Cs
breathed out with my eyes closed, clenching my hands into fists. When I 967Please respect copyright.PENANASqQz7YLrqR
opened my eyes, I looked on at the others and said:967Please respect copyright.PENANAn0osu2hqUE
"This voting thing is 967Please respect copyright.PENANA00Ysj35hn3
pointless. I take back what I said yesterday. It's for the best if 967Please respect copyright.PENANAH8KlXjM0WV
G-Dragon and I work on the lyrics for the song instead."967Please respect copyright.PENANAOq6MmO6tNS
Again, the room fell 967Please respect copyright.PENANAPxe4ZR0nKH
into an awkward silence. Everyone's eyes were on me and they looked 967Please respect copyright.PENANAjhjmStjNgO
surprised, except for G-Dragon. I couldn't tell whether he was smirking 967Please respect copyright.PENANAjuoOwD5Rqj
or he decided to play stoic for a change.967Please respect copyright.PENANAgttb5aWNzq
"Wait, what?" Daniel asked. "Why?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAI1zIUWz9Bx
"Because, Daniel, 967Please respect copyright.PENANAHAWDZXoWUI
nothing is going to change," I said, looking at my brother. "The same 967Please respect copyright.PENANAUYz9nDBk99
thing will happen even today when we vote. It will end up in a tie 967Please respect copyright.PENANAGIgEihHIOM
again. So, what's the point? I bet a lot of you have thought of it the 967Please respect copyright.PENANALKKqSBWjR6
same way, haven't you?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAxduqUcjarZ
No one said a word as they all looked at each other, apart from G-Dragon, who still had his eyes on me.967Please respect copyright.PENANASHpLEN3nKY
"I think it's best this 967Please respect copyright.PENANAKRSweGBwQs
way," I said, grabbing everyone's attention again. "We're going nowhere 967Please respect copyright.PENANA80UEqbkXGm
like this and I should have realised it sooner."967Please respect copyright.PENANApGz2E3yulY
"Well, it's about time you came to your senses," said G-Dragon.967Please respect copyright.PENANAJW3sBPDByz
I felt like I had been given a slap on the face. And OUCH! It hurt like hell. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAi2ESVEdw3F
"That's a little harsh, don't you think?" I asked.967Please respect copyright.PENANAJyxvqSmrNz
"Well, it's true, isn't it?" G-Dragon asked, with his eyebrows raised.967Please respect copyright.PENANA1VsHHMg2RX
"Well, at least I'm bold enough to even admit that I was wrong."967Please respect copyright.PENANApq9cwmK90j
"And you want me to give you credit for that, Samantha?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAaShSw8TzVV
Samantha? Really? He 967Please respect copyright.PENANANGoNLigL8I
called me by my full name. Okay, it was clear he was still mad, but he 967Please respect copyright.PENANAMN5mamhSMe
shouldn't be expressing his anger in front of everyone else like that. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAWeycAQPFzq
He should be doing it to me and me alone. I was ready for what's to 967Please respect copyright.PENANAECJOkLgbuv
come, but not with our group members around.967Please respect copyright.PENANAZpqhLm50Eb
"I don't think we should argue here," I said. "Why don't we go some place else and talk?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAIJI7GNQbLg
"And why should we?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAqSRungPh4O
"It's not right and you know it. If you want to get personal with me, at least do it with no one around."967Please respect copyright.PENANAEFyV1Ga7OD
"Oh, and now you're trying to play the good girl trying not to hurt anyone else?"967Please respect copyright.PENANANS01U4xhKJ
"That's what I'm meant to do, GD. This isn't right."967Please respect copyright.PENANAqWrtUXUBSP
"Sorry, Sam, but I'm 967Please respect copyright.PENANAJ20M5a6Yym
rather comfortable here," G-Dragon leaned back on the chair with his 967Please respect copyright.PENANA5elzu6G2aJ
hands behind his head and crossing his leg above the other.967Please respect copyright.PENANAAQO04a3kGm
I shook my head in 967Please respect copyright.PENANAxP0m4y4mwA
disbelief. G-Dragon was totally unbelievable. Right now, I wasn't sure 967Please respect copyright.PENANANA5A8zCq38
whether to hate him or just feel sorry for him.967Please respect copyright.PENANAd56HgzANXv
"Fine, then we'll stay here then," I said.967Please respect copyright.PENANAfTW1OZiMnG
"That's more like it," said G-Dragon, with a smirk on his face. 967Please respect copyright.PENANAlpdb882v4n
"You're so stubborn," I rolled my eyes at him.967Please respect copyright.PENANAlvYuOEVKUW
"Ya, well, I was born this way."967Please respect copyright.PENANAjQ0CMEHj0S
"Can we please start working on the song now?" I asked. "It seems like we don't have much time left."967Please respect copyright.PENANAeoUfvutJzb
"Okay, let's start."967Please respect copyright.PENANAkOPh6FyyW0
"Umm, sorry to interfere967Please respect copyright.PENANAAR5w834Hh7
in all of this, but are you serious right now?" Zoey asked, looking 967Please respect copyright.PENANAnhnILupW11
surprised and confused at the same time.967Please respect copyright.PENANA6MAGgMwqI3
"What's wrong?" G-Dragon asked, shrugging his shoulders.967Please respect copyright.PENANACzI7FB32FT
"I don't know if you are967Please respect copyright.PENANASpQy8IuLsL
seeing this, but you two look like you're about to tear each other's 967Please respect copyright.PENANAiISRqJVvxH
throats out. Doesn't that bother you? And you want to work on the song 967Please respect copyright.PENANAI31oZ4boJh
together? Today?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAiJwuZHQbOH
Zoey was right. What was happening now looked more like the beginning of World War III, if not the end of the world.967Please respect copyright.PENANAK6v5S570ZH
"I'm sorry, Zoey," I said. "But do we have a choice?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAPZmZ0dGv1y
"Well, I have one. Why 967Please respect copyright.PENANArl4Y7Nqul7
don't you two take a break from each other? You're scaring me and 967Please respect copyright.PENANAnvqeJzTE9n
probably the whole lot of us too. Why don't you two cool down and work 967Please respect copyright.PENANADSrchq7OXK
on the song tomorrow?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAj5GlFSwocX
"Zoey's right," said Taeyang. "You two need to chill out. You both seem angry at each other."967Please respect copyright.PENANAhTS7v4zL9a
"I'm not the angry one, he is," I said, pointing my finger at G-Dragon. "I'm just being reasonable!"967Please respect copyright.PENANA8h1G0apyS6
"I know, Sam. You've 967Please respect copyright.PENANA0udrl71ZNC
both agreed to work on the song together, but you can't go on like this.967Please respect copyright.PENANAY4kNdbIKot
Who knows what may happen if we leave you two alone."967Please respect copyright.PENANAcrheIckPKZ
"Tae is right," said Mike. "I don't want to go back home with your beheaded dead body. Mum will kill us."967Please respect copyright.PENANAqrlmsbTnP7
"Okay, fine," I said, rubbing my temples and taking a deep breath. "You're right. Even I can't work like this."967Please respect copyright.PENANAf2T0UqHJRs
I tried to calm myself 967Please respect copyright.PENANApAEvybzSWL
down, trying to clear my head. I let my anger get the better of me. In 967Please respect copyright.PENANAoQrSjssxD7
fact, I couldn't tell if all this was anger or I was just annoyed 967Please respect copyright.PENANA9mymcGbK8Z
because G-Dragon was acting bigheaded.967Please respect copyright.PENANAV0tAhCDumR
"Looks like we will work967Please respect copyright.PENANAkmshOnL2qd
on it tomorrow then," said G-Dragon as he slowly got up from his seat. 967Please respect copyright.PENANALq0fQ4yphp
And with his hands in the pockets of his jeans, he slowly walked towards967Please respect copyright.PENANA8nc8oQnhV5
me.967Please respect copyright.PENANAmINNuCwagV
The last thing I wanted 967Please respect copyright.PENANAefgG1gG47o
was a face to face confrontation with him because if he was going to do 967Please respect copyright.PENANAaydlI7OeLx
or say something funny, I didn't know what I was going to do. But no. I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAo9qoSVDYXx
wasn't going to let my anger get the better of me again. I didn't want 967Please respect copyright.PENANAFWp0nJeJZ9
to be angry at him. If there was anyone to be angry at, it was myself.967Please respect copyright.PENANAM7H9qlr64N
G-Dragon came close and 967Please respect copyright.PENANA8yVF491jmN
he stared at me with his intimidating eyes. At first, those eyes used to967Please respect copyright.PENANAKWBR2n3gj3
make me melt like jelly, but now, I couldn't tell where that feeling 967Please respect copyright.PENANAIBfknRV5IE
went. Maybe it's because those eyes weren't there to intimidate but they967Please respect copyright.PENANA4aCPXfWpIk
were full of anger too.967Please respect copyright.PENANA7R2hJSCrzp
He stopped a few inches 967Please respect copyright.PENANASUYzXeWfSP
away from me and I didn't back away. Earlier on, I would. But this time,967Please respect copyright.PENANAp0Zafe5lVU
I wasn't afraid anymore. I was tired of being scared.967Please respect copyright.PENANA4WaaNBZuEt
"We'll meet tomorrow soon after practise, capish?" G-Dragon asked.967Please respect copyright.PENANAJGxzciXzWc
"Capish," I replied, without any hint of emotion.967Please respect copyright.PENANAce2xkxm2RE
"Good. You better get some aspirin and rest. It looks like your head is about to explode and we don't want that, do we?"967Please respect copyright.PENANAXzJHFWAjXu
"No, we don't."967Please respect copyright.PENANAsWBmwBpNhJ
"That's my little 967Please respect copyright.PENANAsMsrwqeWbj
kitty." G-Dragon smiled at me and walked away, our shoulders brushing 967Please respect copyright.PENANAc8PbsrLbcn
each other, and he went out through the door.967Please respect copyright.PENANAxMmqFD3P4K
"Well, that was close," said TOP. "For a second, I thought this whole place was about to blow up."967Please respect copyright.PENANAYsMzOx3Pmo
"Ya, I thought I was going to watch a Mortal Kombart fight," said Mike.967Please respect copyright.PENANApW1Ruh7jxT
"Seriously? You're 967Please respect copyright.PENANAid7cltVnXe
bringing Mortal Kombart into this?" I asked Mike with my eyebrow raised.967Please respect copyright.PENANANC1DUE3dlX
Somehow, I wanted to laugh at the joke, but I couldn't.967Please respect copyright.PENANA6v0T1OyfHT
"Come to think of it," 967Please respect copyright.PENANAJpzD4cds4P
said Zoey, staring at Mike. "You're right. Remind me of those two 967Please respect copyright.PENANAgiMxDSNhmP
characters that hate each other so much."967Please respect copyright.PENANAqR6OWmtFSR
"Scorpion and Subzero," said Daniel.967Please respect copyright.PENANAWGRLGRFk24
"So, in this case, Scorpion is G-Dragon," said Seungri, who seemed to be enjoying himself with this.967Please respect copyright.PENANArFb4XA87AK
"Ya, it suits him since Scorpion and dragon kind of go together because of fire," said Daesung.967Please respect copyright.PENANA9EFjStXSFK
"Guys, are you seriously listening to yourselves right now?" I asked.967Please respect copyright.PENANAHXg74wN77H
But no one answered me as they continued their Mortal Kombart fantasy.967Please respect copyright.PENANABu2yCRwqY4
"And Sam is Subzero," said Daniel.967Please respect copyright.PENANAKRoszvInxX
"Ya, because she is all cool and chilled like ice and doesn't crack under pressure," said TOP.967Please respect copyright.PENANAvcrDud9olW
"True, but also because Subzero is her favourite Mortal Kombart character," said Christine.967Please respect copyright.PENANAraphFnmKBg
"Oh, ya, I forgot about that," said Mike.967Please respect copyright.PENANAFQMFHKM0MC
This was getting ridiculous and I shook my head in disbelief.967Please respect copyright.PENANAhyix2CBQ7h
"So this whole thing is like a fire and ice relationship?" Taeyang asked.967Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9NaWqxImC
Oh great! Not Taeyang too! The argument G-Dragon and I had created a story in these guy's heads.967Please respect copyright.PENANAacILSSXxDL
"Ya, I'm already 967Please respect copyright.PENANAiiik76JEH9
imagining it," said Zoey, staring off into a distance, obviously in her 967Please respect copyright.PENANAB4Mh9ZCQph
imagination. "G-Dragon and Sam, like Scorpion and Subzero."967Please respect copyright.PENANAkzIuCPcsi1
"Ya, I can imagine it too," said Mike, also staring off into a distance.967Please respect copyright.PENANA4hx9dIm0Zg
"Sam looks so hot in her Subzero outfit," said Seungri, also deep in thought and biting his lower lip.967Please respect copyright.PENANAAxX6RCunbX
"So hot," said TOP, nodding his head absent mindley.967Please respect copyright.PENANACwoNFPXRSr
"So does GD in Scorpion's outfit," said Zoey.967Please respect copyright.PENANABiUWnjdvW6
"Ya, their relationship is now like fire and ice," said Daesung. "Let's just see who wins."967Please respect copyright.PENANAhxH8H0K0AR
As I watched the others 967Please respect copyright.PENANAsqO92HlDFd
share out their silly ideas of how the fight would turn out, I couldn't 967Please respect copyright.PENANAWPKlWBTLXN
help but realise that they were right. Right now, GD and I weren't okay 967Please respect copyright.PENANAldKnqa97tD
at all. To the outside world, we were friends, but to ourselves and our 967Please respect copyright.PENANAmnIoRV6X5X
closet friends, we weren't. One moment we were smiling at each other but967Please respect copyright.PENANARgVuI0HHDO
soon afterwards we were fighting again.967Please respect copyright.PENANAcGzNsGQtIi
I didn't know how all 967Please respect copyright.PENANAfClYi1oZCT
this was going to end, but if G-Dragon and I didn't resolve our issue 967Please respect copyright.PENANAV9k0elcBjC
soon, we might not just hurt each other but also the people around us, 967Please respect copyright.PENANANPhWrqPTNK
especially our group members. And I wasn't going to let that happen.967Please respect copyright.PENANAmTaTqoCctF
If that was the case, I 967Please respect copyright.PENANAnhrtVtAFZI
had to win this no matter what. I didn't care if I was going to end up 967Please respect copyright.PENANAtgWGVWluVS
getting burnt. I created this mess and I had to fix it no matter the 967Please respect copyright.PENANArIz7vKmXdz
cost. Even if it meant I had to play along like the others. That 967Please respect copyright.PENANAsMgUr6X74r
G-Dragon is Scorpion and I am Subzero.967Please respect copyright.PENANAUgiQJVQtyY
That he is fire and I am ice.
