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

My body ached all over 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvtSnlakK6
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17H8r2R6L1
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzy9YZctR2
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jpHXBIDOg
bed.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99tiO2PNgH

I scratched my head as I1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKE0ariQRm
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrxQQ7M3G4
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sTq20zDaO
he found me here.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSHVgL6L6H

I slowly stood up and I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv00CLdWtK
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKyZVWUjIS
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXze5nYqxF
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxG3VSRb5O

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNJSOQiWwu

I almost jumped in 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0UL27T0SG
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkmQG3lzrT
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpNt0U5vi5
obviously reading the news online.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGiKTdesmi

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahje9I5nOW

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGGuSOMA7P

"'Don't tire yourself 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmeoq6Cuht
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSLgnGKRA8
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8jNnj86o6

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iyJ8NEr3h

"Oh, you were listening?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxImTJj47u

"Ya, you kept on playing1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6JA0RFWvF
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdYfGmswOS
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSrhzgKTUK

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DWH2RloBn

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcrbWmmt5B

"For covering me with a blanket."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoVGfTR29v

Collins looked at me 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwjXedqxLD
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKknO4zTGK
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ecqXUKUKy

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sCi3Q4yEm

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXcL4N9X2K

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkdkRnmKFi

"Me too."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEqVRJMxor

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ei9LOLBHy

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2nIarvG32

"Going to take a shower," I said.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIFigO6br7

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJoBvXCjfw

After I freshened myself1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmXm9Q9x5i
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6o1xrJO3Z
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpEkdGKROt
Collins was still on his tablet.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHBRLRaCjk

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwdgRlwNMU

"Nope. Just looking at 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuzSwY6e6i
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfkzeT8YN9
coming back late at night with the others."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoRREwJxj7

"Are they having a good time?" I got a slice of bread that laid on the middle of the table and was applying marmalade on it.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhglKOehcwr

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpjpS9QNbh

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI1HqCZNgH

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn1lCG0LG5

Collins handed his 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARinHLo2Jd
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkubWx5Ogj
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVhPMk4b1r
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMUyDbSBKF
having a great time.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkauDmVa49x

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tPZ2lUT7i

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEgrKTuR2X

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjwjn0LYrp

"They should have as 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC3wCJIOrw
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVipumSGLeI
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3ogjfdaFk

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmQxhBuh7G

"No, it's not about the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IY2GRWXbN
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeU3dWlcdp
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQVrn0g64v

I looked at Lee who sat 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJBcMGxCNJ
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtV8g0l0rk
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GPa9b2iTZ
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOBMYH8LxD

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kZB8pIwuS

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO1lYPTGHA

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUCNlqsJfS

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84eT1k06ed

"If I tell you, I'll 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnOcE12vUJ
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD18JlZ6FKJ
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXe2NmuY9M

Collins got up from his 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDIUEnvaQx
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKMFHiyGYq
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9GtkP8cQN
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVX4k5gJ8W

"What do you know?" I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouiEgsxCMx
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRllNtnYqq
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKRkHqp7Q0
detective asking questions to a criminal.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtofVRxoTeA

"I don't know," Lee 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWxZogWmEB
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yqKwnFd0G
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU3kCVKSCt

I knew something was up 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDnEt1IYSP
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNo3hmxKYk
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6kCTxq1Vx

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79egQhyLQ3

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUk2fNuKDY

"Well, hopefully." I blew out a puff of air and shook my head as I thought of what happened to G-Dragon and I yesterday.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwJleluO0f

"Hey, what's wrong?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtYf52Ntby

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoUjqeMDq6

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPQgSrQX8p

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SeGpDaxbI

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaqYYxIGfm

"Well, kind of," I said 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg5D9ysc0h
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUaHvdL8TY
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdlzZlAwrA

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGeZhlTlAh

"Okay."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nnWyzVvxQ

I was just done eating my breakfast when Collins came to tell us that it was time to go. I carried the guitar and my notebook.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiilYcyfwfO

Lee, Collins and I soon 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAXuanXnxh
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYlTLuIrBZ
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHhO6jNA3p
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSOxTBngps
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU6IiwxjLs
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq77gcKhBpe

I was waiting in th 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9hKe7rfrP
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7iXVSr2et
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dF6n3ztdM
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzvs621hdW
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnavUeKCZE

I was pacing up and down1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueh9UZbxq8
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFTkMgbnjQ
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiBYQ8pkgz
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYV5Y4PHku
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEc6nti6fz
and I was so nervous.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQwx8bzni0

"Here she is," said Lee,1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTxTKNvzdE
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UQQocfdkI
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYTnhyp3Nq
you, Tae."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuqlAlLcpK

I frowned at Lee and I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMGUdiYgoj
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY43Qdxk5e
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtu8Q65mqK
friend.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLggl3SrWBX

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB7Hk7BKwO

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBwtmS2xMd

"I told Taeyang that I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiIXXv1ru6
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhil1UdLylz
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgJkT2LfLu

"Our manager called me 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk1YdP2Fy5
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZISQKNtcVn
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIsXQXWRXP
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbWLkfhoGr

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF55PfcAjW

"I'll go and check on the managers and see what's taking them so long," said Lee as she started to head out of the room.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVNKX4g4fS

I wanted to call out to her and tell her to let it be. I didn't want our managers here just yet. But she had already left.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfgBcceg8n

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WMwXizTxU

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQUYEMFewv

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u5RYFEwGT

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYcbZBkaLI

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnihDvYQrsL

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotxFUey5nJ

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhS37a6E6q

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XhToK0SiW

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNru96ekWJ

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhPgdBtihY

"Sure."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFGUP5xSn6

I gave Taeyang my 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qADfEk9AP
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBJkOoZtol
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaZHMX8H1b
cute together.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAkpy0ZsjA

"I can't wait for you to sing the song for us," said Hyo-rin as she looked at me. "The lyrics sound really good."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPRhnIIh0D

"Thanks. I was singing 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7KHk9z8vt
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7ZTOozX7q
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS812jEL1cH
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrnfccyr3G

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7iEyZGBM3

"Well...not really," I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgjNbXvXtV
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTglESDzJX
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEQkHh2Pf7

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngJ9rag5AT

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9XQm61O29

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc849Nw2Bwf

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO15apycLQN

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n7FlvtuNF

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhUjdr5lt1

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9BnaHNcjC

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k2ZS3xodT

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34EPftF88x

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh2BME6IIC

"Right now."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU7FQfmqrd

We all turned towards 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzOfFzT9GM
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkhJtTvybz
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PvRj2fDrZ

When everyone got 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3xtJCMwwW
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSURV3h6Hgb
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBfRtraj8M
run out of the room.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gzlrBiTig

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaKZfVM3Dp

I nodded my head and my 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB29piK8EW
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGlo3A9lXY
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrM1d343mg
ever got to play it.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSBEbACUNe

I felt a break of sweat 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuzwGt7nmu
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmFnEfHS4g
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnFqBcUtV6
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrF3JdXAQH
strung the strings on the guitar.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxMPQRZVeE

I started to sing as I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjmTGLx77N
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZqMhPpZr0
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xqvj1W65h
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELdrVStbBE
didn't. Well, I hope so.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3snMB4HSxr

As soon as I was done 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPdoxWlayH
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihyALcW0FM
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqujrQoC7U
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeJMhesY3C
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeifx98u9M
hoped they liked it.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg5oYgZkgq

The studio was still 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlgVPu7Gwm
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSQPl253hA
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ97ztw5NR8
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TN4p6Y3xc

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnsRnCZ0I1
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KwSMqYUTL
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rvSAAlVvC

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn1YjaS3UI

This was it. The hammer 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCntOeltRlV
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnygctR8nl
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprbAncQ1zq

"....incredible."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY49XekQEw

I opened my eyes and I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOUkKT6CTr
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK7pZntbZ6
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn30qCd5ck
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H6YkyKHMj
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2Z7EdozK2

"I've to admit, when 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx05nUufODB
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ413DyQ1HAH
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDgw3LYUqg

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DDhcWyBdX

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPbeQGWWsb

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiPvosC2m6

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvqWUyOHbC

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoucVGoxrt

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCVJjtQfAl

I couldn't stop smiling 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh18zUE8pbH
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhUEVrTl9f
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbzzGrsBr9
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaqTejmeeQ
good voice and a golden one.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0tqYtKDn0

Immediately our managers1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9XDX3ongz
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjhtpbsTW4
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekVaddp3QA
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy6XAqbpEk
musical instruments.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrijX5V4xE

This was always the hard1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGBYDwyunG
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96Ego56x1G
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocpRqus2J7
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfDNq7WcAP
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5wvJQ8G6z

An hour had passed and I1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxKxhdYK4L
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCL4aBHvW5
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl7qomq2ff
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgekeWG1vrQ
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQWi79kpY0
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jMSSk3dnZ

"It's been an hour and I1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ktQpDfd6K
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXRM5CqDlF
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmT2ikOQAh

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce3KbmQf9X

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR71RZmQTLx

"Trust me, you're so 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pSFLMNZ2z
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJhlvzG3vR
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKITy8W2MRn

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBit84fbZA

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTbCMhKxxC

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGzRvlMsKZ

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVlG7VBVIC

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9e1WhITYW

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyeVP2DHFU

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT0hEMl61Y

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIXEQrR12u
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PWgikZZ5a
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxxUNoEdT7
masseur."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17j5YpKaFI

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86yJ9WV1oq

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhp3bJzAcg

The music producer soon 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPVLzSVaFk
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaFwMTtloa
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4vx5zeQ7d
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1InDQHHWh
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP5oYrThRI
recording the track.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5z07xpskP

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxPyg6grpf

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsv2oZRsR2

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXto87QYyqq

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBFxejirgJ

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcmDUjUGR7

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodOjWPfbzU

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DxRMFVlhZ
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEtFp2Pu7T
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbCX67ZnQa

"Let me guess, you're 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfAMNJPfvb
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeHPYt75D0
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoNlqp3BTW

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacsExVB6HM

Something told me his 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGjoOUDv5I
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfS3NrGcwS
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLuGiEtiiz
always does.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T6Sx7mebf

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS5YDXHjOV

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlegYx8nB5

It was late in the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMO5o4312a
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jJlFQEiCA
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YofkpIegW
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhzXkkP9aw
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNhhWPv4GP

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8yDybjB8c

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DlTTLaWjR

I looked beside him and I1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFF288XiSB
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ9s7nAnsQ
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq2MGnXKfQ
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PvOdf1kH5
leaning my head on the console.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheq8CfvWST

"I always hate this part1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SO60cd7yW
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHMMGgFpNM
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmHdPQGvTd
console.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSgmDM0UVL

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFubstLXiZw

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwDlJ4L3Hk

"I wonder what time."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFp2zHeZrh

"Wait." I pushed my head1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9DQYLjWm8
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjClBEmSAdz
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKCdgUOIwa
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5MAbHoMm9

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNSxwrROsL

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNknK3g8ff

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv2ZK0TQa0

"I didn't sleep well 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7zfSpl3No
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBpEmmNxBJ
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb6YZ7QrbL

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmew826ccwA

"You're right." I soon 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbiaLvLfjV
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXwDYsOIx5
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdr806rfCg

"He said they might come at nine in the evening," I said when I cut the call. I was so sleepy I felt like I couldn't stand up.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJausgBdQw

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshDPyduCwF

"Alright. Thanks."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMEE1DyYds

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMMk0WJ6uM

"And so will I," said Seungri.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETjrLZoDtf

"Guys, it's fine. Taeyang and Hyo-rin will take me," I said with a small smile on my face as I faced Seungri and Daesung.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28ftvNivOG

Immediately I left the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKSRgskzsR
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSGAd1XCN1
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0awZS2aNS

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCpa6VdzeP

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcmcjkA9wd

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yYlJRgMJz

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27MjYOC0GP
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOL8Y8r4nt
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4nAL0X5jG

The next thing I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZMO9Ea5PY
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZjUc5SNSR
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M4M1nUyR6
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1wViqiKsP

I woke up by the sound 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyX15XQBqe
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZMTRSS9RA
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriO0jw4GlN
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KJNF3SrJg
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYRnWKDqov

I reached out for the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS3Q7NTa0g
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaHCW3kwOz
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRtWiiHzEq
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbX6RBsu3N

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzaPTHFnU8

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvleXZNK8PR

"I could hear it ringing1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruyvyOKmue
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgJIg30Ghg
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4TB6mSbUs

"Thanks," I said as I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gyUbHjtFJ
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZk0D6tDhX
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbUlAevxjH

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJnxGWQHxZ

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCWvV74zbl

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMHzXLehye

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2ZTKGZUex

Lee left the room and I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sjzaIVYVq
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl42rCpJWM
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKOV58EgrY

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUTzrNmZxU

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVngG7O9s5d

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0eKeWv5U7

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAC8QFftlI

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWfrQ8WRnv

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cMVcSAKro

I dashed over to the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2ETq7NhKy
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8wgox9Kdr
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUn6392eBU

It was now 10 PM and 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVMXhh9dpD
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0NAIjZTB6
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fBR0qBdd9
they were right now.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaLbvTzSYY

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3v5Y3fr3c

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe1xi7F4SS

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoFVNLt8Qv

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvmG65useb

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGZVX8WKU7

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YZk8A7cd2

"True."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRDPDsEVOD

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhKiKgqeGh

Two bell boys came out 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsXU7DMZLx
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBQKfCaC9r
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMczzMjFtm

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWlrOvQR2k

There were so many gift 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2ATyv8bEa
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4dQsXoglK
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiiXJGjAMy
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbdqIwGgew
so pissed.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6yYrtYlFP

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb22Ff3mkBe

"They are downstairs," he answered.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UTk4mFgrP

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgYaLZnVSx

When the doors flew 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1ovVK6F8R
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQcS17r9Xr
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tf50hMGOv
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIiK3JP1qi

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88y09HbFX9

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRl3ZL4zMU

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PLs7xR15O

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tq8fXUW4D

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUBAux0Luq

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxSgTqd6wl

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdyV6Zo8xm

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcoKYux7fV

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoz4jPbvis

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhFvBPjBVV

I raised an eyebrow. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMSS55BHCE
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyX8GSPZKK
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtJtjAUJVg

"Okay. Enough," I said as I shook off Zoey and Christine away from me. "Can someone please tell me why you're acting like this?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa00hPHRQP

"Everyone just missed 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVaOm96xxJ
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHsMbIkt7R
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzPFSuvpap

I rolled my eyes at him,1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9tnpmUsLa
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XXiuXb0Ei
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKX6SsS8nd
face when I hugged him.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSC6sxmQcW

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwynHEP1d6E

"Wait! You missed TOP 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EwL4Hhb0V
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatZiUXc0FD
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizDIiATeE5

I always loved it when 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVJw6vH4x7
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgWc59RHRF
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN3BrakUUV

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7El5h6j541

For a moment, that voice1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99Enz5dX6F
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ7xAHqLwE
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80Kmwq9ICc
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW6KlN9Oan
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVt6IBezcd
he was still acting the same way he had left.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4hQcmgOYN

I was really confused. I1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUWeDqJ83W
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1c8hfJQOL
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavEUaplSzn
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WhFqhs5ze
personal and it had to do with me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroHpLWIgAm

I had no other choice 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7qqP0kkFi
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQD2LlYLvM
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyJnTVH7GY
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ssuAEIgoj

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6lb4uO0V3

By the look on his face,1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBP0NgLCJS
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNbReQnKOY
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75ORjDTXLV
going to end pretty tonight.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1SHCs5IzP

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfYP9ZeJlZ

"Ya, I did."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNRDdQr4Ff

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPpPfw6d8f

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc5W0HMUd7

"Can't wait to hear it,"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWE0fzHYdu
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbVwvZOf6Y
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4116a122ZZ

"Anything for you, 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNMmVK6TOP
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSThM2SwOoD
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK37Uq4n48
look at Zoey.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9Ungjpkcp

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4V8mJ1zxr

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXqgfdZVEN

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFlD6iwTXf

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFeRAoomxT

"You know Collins is 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI0nMnxVKd
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFml4PQNSS
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV2GbSUn02
floor.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yWujhHmx5

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGPqYYc6vr

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02y0qq4ZML

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbFT3BVB2l

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqiEpUTlQZ

"We better sort out all 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyOY5PQkFl
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTMUoYSeis
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvVEd40EvX
floor.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXA2asQHkz

Sorting out all the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfsCAgA5rg
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxWz3TazwD
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XI8HSTogj
had really bought a lot of stuff.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLSnwrRvzQ

The boys had brought a 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRogruAjSz6
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzVUtN5kxP
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VGkJFVg5H
expensive designer shoes.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj0Y0aOTwq

As for Zoey and 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUoxSQyeDJ
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgFImWd0bj
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfj6vYKuLO
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6S95YD84a

"G-Dragon was helping me1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb03uSRVsKj
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSMBUJP3zm
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVPvba7t9g

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq5TDD45Up

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrOqdiSeij

We were sitting on the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1WGqU7w3t
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW43FyWvBm
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkMEFQPoCO
stuff with Collins' too.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf92HPlzzc

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeZYVDoh68

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6AoPFrWuh

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTp3QUZLnX

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8SLZQ5mYd

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEbYsVbGiJ

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBREGkzyei

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrQIrZb0f0

I distributed the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtgKcOOWVn
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlF48IHH7z
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NlmkRKmQJ
was meant for me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mn9H3EAQ6

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNun2QbyL7R

"Don't worry about it," I said as I walked over to her. "We will find it tomorrow. We can't go through all these right now."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGT2jHSHNi

"Ya, you're right," said Zoey. She had a gloomy look on her face. I could tell that she had bought that gift with lots of love.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9QinqNiWl

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbLrMT6VzR

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBP621YJqz

For a moment, time 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC6D7M97XZ
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI5pGmfOhh
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnW7jPQKV9
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg0C0BZ5Fh
mess.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFoQJGMkG2

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ifF0QsvLd

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEBdtAkbZE

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bYvfiuutt

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn362r5jTFr

For me, it kind of felt 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EgUYFfptX
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVbnilS6rX
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pC0cdyLTo
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6WSK2gdgV

When Collins came to the1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0LMT0h3cc
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEqXp6puts
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8oVN7r0cn
he just couldn't.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMRRTXnuo6

"Hey, Collins," I said.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SEcrwtbxn

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Me2rkITTY

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmz7MHb3Qj

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDJM485Wh8

"Thanks."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJn9tqeFHX

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe9yvrZN5o

"Who?" I asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpCY1vYVuz

"You know who I'm talking about."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKoBp6dU5W

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVRq8qgUYe

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjck51dsd3

Collins went over to the1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGP9L4JT0W
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKactHuVzV
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzR0QnYcNn
up at him.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVODloba9j

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEKYqfsxjL

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCVF2W1T1x

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyySyRnZno

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojeipbGZkg

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZgE9gevRE

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPzRF1cByE

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyojGZhNqqD

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlClMb5UF8Y

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKSgHUEzIC

"Ya, most of the stuff weren't bought by us, you know? If it came to the designer clothes, it was all from Chanel," said Zoey.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxuFkPnlsq

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AcSRrT9OQ

"Here, we brought you an1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h8HQ1bDLl
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfiBYuwMpZ
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LP9b7FBKQ

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DeVd4n79o

"Thanks," said Collins, 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvvniJ0yKy
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0blpQLj8Gz
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9co6luCwE

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hEZHP2Iyf

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6GAgB8wsB

Lee was right. Collins 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOfXC40Kyn
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwvqvIEQFa
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccj87xGn6C
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBttOGE87yg
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpelIchszMT
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWSfPFXEaE

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm51epbEQJ

We continued sorting out1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqC0tJeYni
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulDV5JhFXS
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMKFUr1OLw
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx4ERGqSAH
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7BgU759z8
already too late and we all needed to rest.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwThNmpAE9O

We hadn't managed to 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqB43VncnO
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAY7Pi6RuT
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKMFcUTzdR
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3B2WX2U1o
course.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7CFnax2r0

When we were all done and had retired to our rooms, Zoey quickly pushed me into the room when I was just coming into the room.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb7cd7kYlP

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxt19PVE0w

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9PI3UQosv

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaK6PuPpom

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZFLq9z3Ik

I looked at her with an 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D0nulSjLs
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR8S6eIVK9
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2PQvqmmss

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniE1NAmzdZ

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gQUL4XS3a

"Fine?" I looked at 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScZ5ekapMv
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v0FXUMiSV
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3lDtYNEku
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kzxyvt9W8

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBSz63YdS3

"Tell me, please!" I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeNB92gG8z
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF1zm41rBh
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMLj7qNkyX
tell me something. So tell me!"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlo6IFbDqT

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHcDPTeKM4

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBy803DHc8

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNujrkxVId

"Hello! Earth to Zoey!" I snapped my fingers in front of Zoey's face. "You look so lost. Please tell me what's bothering you."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s8FLhSyC2

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCtwke6GXc

I felt really excited 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XkQMOwENA
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSJCk3Tgxx
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT1r14HKqt

"I don't know how I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET4MvTj0FQ
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtAbc84RgW
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMZxiqf0IF
Tower."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd8NcMYcQ6

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdCqIelHv9
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLAHMCREHp
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T8aUdhv7I

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsmStK6syX

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4QtQUyCSS

"So we got to the Tower and we were having a good time as usual." Zoey paused as she licked her lips. "Then something happened."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH62JLPUiay

"What?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0UEXQinxE

"When we got to the top 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1BmnA8r3k
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBMScZfz4Y
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8JFQorDTT
others had left and it was just GD and I."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XSnLOzHy2

My eyes grew wide. I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcW4qAz2Bl
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXgZOQaCHh
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0C1Lia5KQ

"You two kissed."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5jAoHetGC

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4JfEcWRXY

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafuszczLkq

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDAJODzoFj

"Well, you were in one 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauLKoKmU8I
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XmZR2jN7o
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrAUNrqKwA

"Smart."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3oEZUguUO

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypBdnqCbN6

Zoey smiled like a fool,1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGXGwcCrKv
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0JeH0PObN
it was so magical at the same time."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCYFYrSlJR

I couldn't help but 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzE6N7Do0K2
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOM37KzRT4
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRSnhJuk86
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiyoGdZGCr
everyone at the prom.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqjcxm1glr

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDgm8pMQDC

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvViYqnS2U

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgq4RHviFt

"And? Anything else? 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRXqIFQvgg
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKt1aLexrm
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAR8W86w21V

"When we were on top of 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXrFoGtRPa
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8N8WoZjK9
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVwIHcKfmy

Well that's a bummer. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwUKnZQOWT
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz1xzfBhjK
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20VlpJQzIr
really liked Zoey and not me?1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWkjQfcUGG

I brushed that off. Why 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tUCQ3oUwS
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh85bgaBSHd
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10n6vJjlsp
hopes up with it.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86xyI8BM4U

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hzkESvFuD

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd211ZM7m6

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhfqeXsoic

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYa0GUm9PO

"Thanks, Sam."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF1CklTtBl

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHjxjTzZ9x

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHlcNNGj3b

I left Mr Panda on the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpJy11QDhR
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rpZgPigzP
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkGD57JY63
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhX7B6iYyY
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRuxiUx1Ku

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1E88FDZqW

"Good night," she replied. She turned to the other side to flip the switch beside the bed on the wall and the room went dark.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq03JLkdqNv

I laid my head on the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvg7PYZE4w
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9YPO6d9JZ
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3rg1hePPM
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAWFuvdIr9
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRAYAJBjic
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lpmz77YgH
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iVBexl7BN
have been.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIzEOHcXcQ

Zoey would have only 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDodfKUJj9
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM7TydnfTR
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiROnjXGhG
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xv638gHcA

To be honest, I was happy for Zoey. And when I heard her giggling again, I realised that I wouldn't want to hurt her.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIR21uuFen

I pulled Mr Panda closer1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA0vgx8mfi
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VbSgXd14N
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGLpZ68Iyu

***1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zvXnNrSbB

I was given a round of 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ5TwNVjhL
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGf1PaF93d
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzrv08dnzT
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeShntXIUh3

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC1tJSvxk5

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVyKmJrVpe

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8hNpyjOaV

"Then you better eat 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDRzbN5ayl
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xSNeVKuMt
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaiGHxr2cH

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGJPQj7GOv

"I can't wait for us to 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rOwbKibrz
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs0rKbUcCc
beside me. I could only tell why.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hTGt4CMCs

Christine who sat 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULvHNqTwHB
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsAlCNZ178
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZnCn8dGlq
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb8JN4FZYN
and G-Dragon.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRddS6MMkPU

When we were done 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCDUBk9ZSD
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsytACbLbF
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0BEmESnQM

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rQkrJ2IL7

"What is it, Zoey?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDPQ7a4kyf

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx14c0uBjT5

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRyk38LQNi

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY97qw1dca1

"That's the problem," 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH1UvuLZTb
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulyFdnZky2
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjws8Rgh2P
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMgouihfTJ

Mike turned away and 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r1zLBNeAM
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK6uzkqQ10
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde1oPDZeAN
something?1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8MKJdRoc9

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohWwxuwgmP

We agreed with Christine1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPNE5jeOhT
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bs2v9IsQq
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQtLmMoL2y
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPvjpneFXa

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kvV5C3oM0

"Hey, how are you," said G-Dragon as he came and gave her a hug. I bypassed them heading to the couch sitting next to Daesung.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnqNU3D3qn

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsULjlNv0WO

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy0fRI5gPc

"I also feel like I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs71XoiUvgC
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS1BbAp69b
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSs14TXjMh
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS0ivIdyGo

"Do you think we should 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv7DEyE6Rx
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviVFNdwqs2
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNj8sXrfcN

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEeRuwn2y9

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMRNn7QnLY

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H8zlomuzv

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9Vp39TDF7

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePwtjaN42y

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiHPsQl3dt

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY5qBdN133

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt23XrRtbG

I stood up from the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6tMbWwhvl
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r6ZEILPPx
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnzx0AwiI1
conversation.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy7sUVUPWA

When I went back, I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5qJ0PZOYp
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMgV7rgh1s
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAu9Pswiqp
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LcFMMNwvP

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWbrOEWSiQ

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBqsZdqH7d

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NLGkQaNaa

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG75dLk9nd

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9sXsDusn9

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlvfmZq31V

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe29EXBrYd9

G-Dragon gave me a weird1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHyH1m0B4w
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZGtHQVGdx
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ98z9F1m2g
took their place on the couch.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHHmx7fg2G

"Christine and Daesung, I1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOCFveLEPN
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfunJKkho14
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrerUb651a

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUqWTPcPqs

"Ya, we will sing the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIreyEEFkCZ
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIABf7ifvu
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOOTgMHLT1
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoTXI1s0Tl
producer has the lyrics printed out."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTSGHhUP8S

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2VDkA1ALi

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR9rsfpXXT

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18nH8QXaJa

Then we all went over 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ikGEg5Hmu
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE6UDegn8q
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdKO0L19h0

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonWaUIa1Wb

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpUh8Wr2oj

"Me too," said TOP.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdNNKu0BrF

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UFhOc6Duu

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISe5NcR0Ze

I didn't look up at him 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06eh9IbWem
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZOLX65D4k
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRbCylJFiX
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpW91pTXVE

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ127UWZRbT8

I started to relax my 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyI4qUIW0c
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8AcBWexUh
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW3UJZRZTc

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamEaIiEA95

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt5hB8Cr9K

G-Dragon came to sit 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6Fknxb09O
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmqCr8W2eN
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROdY5HHQTb
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA36lSBJzp
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYOUq2sYuA

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqJYYMUop9

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnxExhNWDg

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdzuZrrlNF

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOrrBk6hPf

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgioXcPvX4Z

"Really?" the music producer asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlGxPAuq18

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5D27Z2voB

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogVoaTeGnF

"Give him a chance, 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpHeBnx30M
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2SmxzHUbg
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXUJNUbrFU
headphones and put them on.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoox6Eb2nz

"Okay, this is 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4IVMBA4PW
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEhMPJ8RSt
join them and see what needs some changing."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYqVEZWDNH

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq71qi6B21

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZTehYpAtf

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcyStGxgId

The others looked at me 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdaGTjiU0p
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDwY9Fpdh8
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF42n9Vrzr

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S4aPPhfY7

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5p4uitCcy

"That's going to be a 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxaL31agIr
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3vKb9mc98
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFedqWyFWU

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn0byvpqIb

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0x66uaIOo

"Okay let's go through the song," I said as everyone nodded their heads and sat on the couch and I went over to get the guitar.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceZEud6yQp

I looked over at Zoey 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7Rt4NoHui
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BRDoD3Cwp
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnJ4k7L5YR

I put a stool in front 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkv8CCvcXV
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMsJSpiffp
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqj4SKnRNd
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcX5n9NDEn
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76pAsaTc3G
others.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioL0UYjrFq

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uCc3RwJbZ

Taeyang and I sung the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBlBgkcCua
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmUqbcphbZ
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUcEFGFrCy
great and everyone cheered.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVQ1GZTJY5

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqax4oNFWu

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk9e55Yc5f

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZwFFUzT3m

TOP started to rap the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyI4aM0oPG
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T8kFx9rkt
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxiKy5ywDK
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjmMftgEi2

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI1XxYgdyb

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm2YakTfYh

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZK0YW5eru

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxToasHdMu

Daniel and Seungri sung 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EwTZ1k80H
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pvn9xFVVQ
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmHVSDHzIq
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d54ahGdht
clapped for themselves and cheered.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw1x3gj1OC

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfOlLrENTN

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmjrSExKlK

I almost fell off the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCpM3YrshW
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDPJiviKmC
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuJPUbWZ4z
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbbCsIztlE

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKx94MP90g

"I have to say, you all 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AMBC79rnl
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfCtNAEBfN
smile. "Keep up the good work."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBCnbXAdOO

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjngqVrDhyv

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OuEC4KX9R

No one said anything. We1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4sIC4ZdmO
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r3X2UGcBK
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe1EJM54TI
talking.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmANqZk1RNe

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmPU2TGvkQ

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b04EVD6R8

That, I couldn't answer.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk68pdI4w6
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp38vzC2CX
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1lnQe2E81

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTOwfO7DuO

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZb98vAXqx

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPO8WX2KU6

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBH5GLdmfi

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFRWdf0JJo

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rjPm5xdvP

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KDqVi0f2P

"I want them back here 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bPsRTmuaM
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cbHUk2FHT
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXBvucqKWh

I gulped as I felt the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLGjQm7W8p
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslJ4GNQrCR
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyGn9WZY12
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5ZNdgNqHg

No one said anything 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6TlueOMel
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff35YSCCuM
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYylTMSHtl

"Where could they have 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdcMnnNXN4
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBv8R15940
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7x2xglHaR

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMEOdimdTh

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTx5gCbQPi

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzJwGnTZdK

"Then we better start 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQMkYQsCFb
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmR5qyfaR9
looking for them will be difficult."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWAXXjxjXe

We all agreed to split 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3t3Zm1CMB
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrU9U0hVXC
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsLjZdMaJN
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4kLQHAwLq

All the studio rooms 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknihOboZkp
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiXDB35HPi
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFHpOOltVp

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo69xsNL2q

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfKQB38fwC

"Almost fifteen minutes."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkv0omJYba

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw2iwFsefi

He nodded and pulled out1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ISEpfqsV
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZLO1YNobY
walked out of it and came towards us.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8P8DRtA0O

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZNIqTThWc

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJDUrCThox

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5In6mhaPc

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSuFbprMml

I looked at the time on my watch. We only had fifteen minutes and Yang Hyun-suk was going to kill us all if we didn't find them.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHkXzvAygS

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0uPZl6KHy

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhqzTZ7q8O

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjxnR4Muj8

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1mDud1sSM

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbPnAGbFLw

I hadn't said a word 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7w0bS6M4e
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2AjTBhvwY
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvKcbKTRql
but worry.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloT7cL7Y05

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaUqTq0Ha4

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbynPDUavhB

Daesung motioned his 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhEFNxjU8m
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQlIUWdjxa
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw4n3g6IcG

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ1mrY0jUM

Taeyang and the music 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbyKm9nx1u
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYCEQiVxVD
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3jTxBM06d
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvZ5XKmOSb
and angry at the same time.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw6zfrVkQW

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvHLOdC9SA

I looked over at Daesung1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCEzVXkLc7
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFPOY1T2NS
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO8PGbQOEF
the play button.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDsf2hse04

***1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulL4dGFZPh

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlevqxZzHC

I came crushing back 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmcD7qGsPX
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOWoFPZmSU
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHss6rsguaY

I had so many mixed 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC10lqBCitm
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXtbstKor9
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkCgemcXrh
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgCmcnY3Tb
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoqsPkg53o

I could tell that the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRWpAFTt3V
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWAy8lxxlR
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTcXNtZZjP
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JsqBFsdQh

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDgDv6Ldvc

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U979CFQ6O

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6VhFW88bV

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWARDWeUaw

I folded my arms and 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zZJ88nfQF
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuYrJOzHWH
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8agOY7ZiF

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIj5MclpXE

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcg5heAjDU

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsBuEFbBEg

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjMvARj8xt

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJtCtgfOt1

I could feel the others 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IwYZKporJ
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RR8mWpJ6S
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzY4nzuu32
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBSm4gnKE5
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01DZbJMYtM
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtZXTblZ0f

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgZMSkpOHt

"Okay." I nodded my head.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMzCR7yuCJ

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwvCvGWQET
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeGxqPNEfk
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNIP8ihtQK

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxlIxxbBfK

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtNAiL5sOh

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd52XZkhlL

"Not until I hear what 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtC3bcknpp
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4j5lug41q
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOfcX3Yumv
trying to calm down.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLIHr5C1Qo

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaur1bC7AM

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx8JFIbU7h

"So that we could get 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEI9Xst9ja
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0y5E1JUMV
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wg1E20FuL
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID3phMlh5L

"I agree with Sam," said1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE3eni7NVk
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWny1aZV5y
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUwFUWBpj1

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBegDVEiCT

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9B0Qe5vsX

The rest of the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oDxYOSgq8
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hexHadBZf
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKKa4zVMzl
playing cards.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQMItGpIqK

I was leaning my chin on1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnViVOcrvHu
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsUr6Tpz0O
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSHhRlYzpc
especially to me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbRmZBGBhA

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLpPapUvy7

I suddenly sat upright 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCyvq1OvJj
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7pIBN7GE5
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflWbqIjODp
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uGLSrKetF
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhveEFhJxU2

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06S2G9FWJ2

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0lUJjlkAA

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF97ZPk5Cjn

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvrNZO1Dxc

"Maybe we can just order1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkACOb99Wb0
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBF4jwJGiQ
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3blan0E9Rh

"Good idea," said TOP. "Let me tell her right now." He pulled out his phone and just when he was about to call, Lee came in.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvEtY9QXgP

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9jM2ivy7y

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrHiNjs9iz

"I heard that Zoey and 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTibE248U7
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRks0P3XCyp
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfkq5oCPDx

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje2I0pzScq

"Then it's a good thing 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKcueU0wjG
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JEvjhNLxj
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWf63NqsZM

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ550H9vZ9CX

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyXDGwtW9v

Everyone soon dropped 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW4DtOVVag
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8NN4aSMY3
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUihhDK37LW

I had never eaten pizza 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTJ9PKU8v4
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm63efle3h
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQDmfwAfYv

We were done finishing 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsNk09gIZF
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM2WqxMD3a
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBP2l800bQ

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4SFqa1UfD

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTMPrp2EbA

We were huddled up on 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo6UfYGsab
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjXpXRLNSK
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01KpBgYEQv

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa4InO36b4

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5BC351mpK

"You lied? About what?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkgFQC2NZ3

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKJwKsm3e6

"But why?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycnhuNtBLG

"Because, I had no choice. I want to know why GD did this. It's best we know and see how we can move forward."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0mfynkju7

I finished my slice of pizza and licked my fingers when Lee asked, "don't you think he just did that to get back at you, Sam?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEeohJJSLN

I didn't expect Lee to 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOU3RlcvS8
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56oeshPS2g
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmGOLLhCtk

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWCk0I2ECU

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W8GpNuyyq

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPtkw46dcQ

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eI5yIPBoL

I stood up from the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVp4QYeU1s
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8XDXEUreb
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhFXHAtM65
later.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3MvZT8Rd7

Trying to find the right1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI0ayKNuez
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4zhIqeG7u
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb5W0iLevL
what for, was the question in mind.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoglalsrpR3

"Aren't you going to 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzPWDQjTFl
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPnWH1UkGM
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnxXIABXZU

"I doubt it," said TOP. "I was here with them when they were writing the lyrics and the two of them looked fine to me."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt64jpfTUu

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CAGlFm1z7

I looked at Lee and she was looking back at me with a scared look on her face. Using my eyes, I told her not to say a word.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9NYAZksEV

Lee went on to look at 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxTK6gbsoa
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vYMZLSFzn
just thought they might be arguing again."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QvBkHmn7o

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4iBKLuA8J

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2oVPdNdTU

"I don't even know what 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNq3zgtaIr
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj8mEV1Sz1
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp81wSIrPZ

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pKEkg9hHy

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzF3s3pLL4

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlbdel73qm

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoCN8ZUBqT

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA0Ygoxj3c

It only took five 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRxb8XgfO4
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3bypSmL38
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxt1g7ITjq
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMMmtTeP6Y

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdAcyRuCBC

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs6MyoWSV3

Still, no one said anything. It looked like no one was ready to throw the dice first. I cleared my throat and looked at Lee.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68MvRfLVEB

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtxE3VecJW

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpRv4pGqDO

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4dSOI7bjv

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLULRgTacg0

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8wZON086t

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcFN0JLcMU

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVBBshCccc

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6t9WaOEUJ

I tried to keep my tone down and my anger in check but I was boiling inside. Any minute now, I might just blow my head off.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTlOjCs9Z5

I was expecting an answer from G-Dragon but all he did was look at me. I kept on coming closer, my eyes not leaving his.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eILUDzjVk

"Why did you this?" I asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MzSLWnsOS

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqskExmmnJ

"If you didn't like it, you should have just said so and all of us together would have figured something out. Not what you did."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qJDj7c3Bw

When I got closer to them, I took out the USB drive from my pocket. I took G-Dragon's right hand and placed it in his open palm.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2itMKrmT3i

"The instrumental is in 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rK5KSYTJn
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNGphaPna1
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vr80BfICd
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XxA773nVM
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd3ieiPhvq
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGxTNFVKwb
pissed."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7QeigQQcI

"Wait, a minute," said Taeyang as he came up right behind me. "He first has to tell us what's happening between the two of you."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyLglm9uIv

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13qypN4IoX

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaGF9RurhY

I looked at Zoey and she1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8STuFf6Kl
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBM0gtNkn9
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwuIhu57vL
was mad at me for.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIyk2hUiwc

"Now is not the right 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D6wZoDjc1
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUqoMVFjSN
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS8T2jS2o0
understand.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfkTfihAKw

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJCRKTDtrD
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluE5D6W3vf
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrAbynNjku
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJPd7jOCaA

"It's about time you guys got here," said Yang Hyun-suk as he turned towards Zoey and G-Dragon. "Hope you had a perfect lunch."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssPBMx3PlN

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBdjQ9VUIc

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhK6Th2bBy

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SHl2GL1T5

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTUrQ83NFG

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9ph7M82w3

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QKshGFLWZ

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZV2m5DKmW

I paused with my mouth 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5WteK9d0m
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpp47BTVxG
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezqloBc8dW
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM97U0by51g

I looked at G-Dragon and1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yn0FunmBs
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRocUgNFybi
face wondering what he was thinking.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK2PEE9A8u

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8fTv9ziei

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAm0Q2Q86G

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcftmCtSNw

I smiled and Seungri 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYzlGZS4AY
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85rLuOIWDj
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdtT2TGB0b
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2UrspGAeG

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF5AmeoCXt

I smiled a little more. 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAHXedDEAh
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa2jrgTVpA
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdARVUaMwVt
were at war again.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmBqmMXzr1

"But we can't start 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD2Aua9yYH
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInRHHAX0Gf
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4KWHNm9KJ

I sat upright and alert.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZeZkCuSXg
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2DfYi1YGh
have to record the track the day after?"1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8MqJ2f3k6

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZFiCCLKxL

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dwrrroefL

"But why didn't you tell1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFhRvRA3Pl
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRRRvOMscV
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ9pBRRBBs

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RlcUFMUHg

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoNXoRwcGm

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZcSupoH7h

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCcjI3b7a5

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNW2H8nhkw

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwjbXcHnN3

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS3E3PfuAb

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5htYz4Jrx

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnfDhWU5zB

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBdV0zi8QG

The two managers and Lee went out of the room first. Just as we were about to walk out, TOP stopped me by holding my hand.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CUgZxBPrG

I turned to look at him 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7dIGGfG7X
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIZOjRiJes
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzEVkuvXvo
me like that.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyw8GAI6PQ

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GisxIVPxR

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaVmOtEMsp

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvEp9nu3Bp

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rhV1o3FBi

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy22zdUitg

Zoey and the others left the room and I was the last to walk out. I didn't want to look at G-Dragon, but I did.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhemfpLH1Lp

We looked at each other 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3WA5PsmLa
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ266d59sRJi
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2zmkDGFJ1
Maybe he also felt the same.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡton3lT93bg

But I wouldn't know and I wouldn't like to know what he felt. I walked out of the studio, closing the door behind me.1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl59bG0CLHS

I then realised that I 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut7gJBuDZO
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW5ts4PTpc
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87EvMCFqvh
another time.
