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 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kOPTs3QJV
when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7fanxOg2A
me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU95I5k64Rg
adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eRhnAarFX
bed.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ShtKPAkKR

I scratched my head as I1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvHATo6ibA
slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YMmNxq4YW
closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzsbUsJbvL
he found me here.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10SZOIihEi

I slowly stood up and I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZdNcG2rcp
realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLwn1kHmQy
floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIk7ruXRGl
thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYLOoz4nen

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc7T5Z9Vix

I almost jumped in 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ375xYJOTyu
fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TmHAPJPt7
table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCeCNBFLqu
obviously reading the news online.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8tIXG37wX

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5e1mu7xzP

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE7vjyIXgc

"'Don't tire yourself 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yFNc1byQW
out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs7o2ICH4Y
last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRTq0iwn4h

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQikJE5DVO

"Oh, you were listening?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMqgokAc5B

"Ya, you kept on playing1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAjBapLtx1
until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ8jSv4UEx
you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYnRUlvcip

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz38H7nlOlv

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HyxnWMiQZ

"For covering me with a blanket."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUNsVdAuAj

Collins looked at me 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFLV7RX9IS
with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2Gn3AZR0g
for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAJrkljHWj

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzH8ooKoQ0

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVAtSpaykD

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk0WL81oXo

"Me too."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY8QfpM04D

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm4iG0WeBZ

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHIMZ9VkuT

"Going to take a shower," I said.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkpyWMy1rj

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJgsMZSsr3

After I freshened myself1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wJnf5LiEL
up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGEO55eZFF
dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN4xidAF98
Collins was still on his tablet.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpxOI35P5y

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lCXX7rm2F

"Nope. Just looking at 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkRjPFcpEl
messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHSYZUjmQF
coming back late at night with the others."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wQJoEi8kr

"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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6p82xZ89p

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLFPI0swbO

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0AsQT0ad6

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ1HGZxqUu

Collins handed his 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnRp9oJeKI
tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacjLWEKHnq
other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2AB1yl2rj
raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hVpvRQiib
having a great time.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRel0xlkvt

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJcD2zgtnH

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjM1jKQN0O

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YCvDb6LJl

"They should have as 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10BXp5M8Ue
much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbJVRWJU2u
the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGWZTUBlVJ

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1HTZFp5jP

"No, it's not about the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuE251RN9S
song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDwkgCx1aW
they get back. I'm talking about something else."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn1wz9GSd7

I looked at Lee who sat 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcYdUmFLRd
opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsIq9Llmop
meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3YDF2nq5c
didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MRZXdz1ma

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW0jlG0y2j

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30rL3UGxlF

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9rddb45TC

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5laABtHPWQ

"If I tell you, I'll 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQN4EA1rnh
just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFORk0mygi
Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kQIRuqkNt

Collins got up from his 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWYnv6WOwH
chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJROJbEoHC
knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyXcnzZCK6
amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F8kGik5vV

"What do you know?" I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FTsmf5VJs
asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIFUELoYA0
forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7qd1eY0QG
detective asking questions to a criminal.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRz0VU8eVX

"I don't know," Lee 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoOibBuSW7
replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfTBnMPSvi
And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ib5mhJ0Rr

I knew something was up 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZuFRsmhJi
when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1W6jY0FEC
Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPDZnSG0rB

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGLjdhdu1t

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMOeNdZkas

"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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrLnVhqxSp

"Hey, what's wrong?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4hW3QSvAt

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm0d0Wzrtl

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eXluSYsoe

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VHZZe59xi

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvSw1i0tyg

"Well, kind of," I said 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkZrRlChyE
as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjyj1QE4ix
to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIksbjmEdQ

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72vBtpiMOR

"Okay."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKxzcY1k50

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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIWcdAHThP

Lee, Collins and I soon 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUz1IsN1Zo
left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMmgDDiHgL
was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ahE9maHRD
it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr2CjS1pv7
afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB3u5upqR1
what Yang Hyun-suk would say.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9s7Nl8DWH

I was waiting in th 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl9yZtSHAK
recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj9Ou8CZYi
myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnOalX8xxn
because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq95YVNf1l
edgy and my heart was beating so fast.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRgLylkz1z

I was pacing up and down1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePXpNivvK7
with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstT1R0gNU1
opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9DiDtFOvF
girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjKN4sz591
ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKymm8EBie
and I was so nervous.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryRHFTJsdU

"Here she is," said Lee,1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpswDoRoil
turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss8czd41cV
she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLu4Inq3tS
you, Tae."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVBVTT3htv

I frowned at Lee and I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vZqgu1bQX
wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dRG40aXTu
effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0bXmsxcZo
friend.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7mBNQQ9rP

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gDLQrOJCD

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSfBFvIYMU

"I told Taeyang that I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k2UKX6MKi
wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF3OdZ8hOF
you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWKGXvpXXD

"Our manager called me 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOpgI9I1Fg
to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g8dh1TcWR
the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHzKg3034v
conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglV7piVOS5

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNvJoFgv0D

"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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwO6xANAqr

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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyggNlb3gB

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUC31fOHeq

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AQMPGBADE

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z91t1U5gm

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcYqR9o70d

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTjCUPE4qO

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOkHKstpZG

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5MjPw4njN

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmEjMSZDJs

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiZkjB4CHt

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM9suiMhm7

"Sure."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEAaPNxDiC

I gave Taeyang my 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Or3unX8ku
notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtNzQgbqYo
together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWwanrhaIx
cute together.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9wSd555kv

"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."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oe60NMOaf

"Thanks. I was singing 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT0S0Jrr5g
the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNriR3WwqSr
on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI453urTPhJ
Korean, I just had to make it perfect."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vTDaZWYXH

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjOL2aiOAz

"Well...not really," I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXJhda6ynW
said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkY9IFx2Jv
vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYomPVLggfk

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAO6xHtMuN

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTCNHLkulg

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ951pX0zSnr

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKoF43yYYQ

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwWwC0ELiu

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk2qUK0Lar

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3vc7NRi8M

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeQYv7Mw3s

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwrmv8zva6

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhRm08QXcN

"Right now."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyZeksKajP

We all turned towards 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3zjIuQ6WT
the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMYqmYnBZN
came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEGJk5yy8o

When everyone got 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CYxNzWoqu
settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5luKAbQ9W
holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcytrZLVCV
run out of the room.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsffcway3M

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8nji0dgVF

I nodded my head and my 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BGUYKR72N
heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx1o6F5PqH
guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LtpzmiRKo
ever got to play it.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YBTT7QagU

I felt a break of sweat 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZbwbumQSF
would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfDMmAmGiW
stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabrwDQ3IlZ
slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP3V8n7SjW
strung the strings on the guitar.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ532lw3rK8

I started to sing as I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l3fObPZzH
played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv2zVFprwX
so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTpbfcUrG9
in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqzrcb2pWu
didn't. Well, I hope so.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CLJQBdwbC

As soon as I was done 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDeZtiovui
singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdER9daUGGZ
avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo8ZucBBJ3
the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t51YtyqIM
was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8Ha2kmCck
hoped they liked it.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQQDVPoNbR

The studio was still 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9gthRgun2
quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrxmiZTOzH
Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7LTYOb5wE
had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywMv6UNWzt

Yang Hyun-suk cleared 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rggOEvmh8
his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj75BnnwYUI
rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJYzxp6lji

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv8evJ1eUG

This was it. The hammer 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblxeJjtHAr
blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGYiEZUUTY
word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QEU5oRTTv

"....incredible."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAyZ71JyB4

I opened my eyes and I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAnXhv3CH8
couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5dOxKWCFM
him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxfIAUxEMt
round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddBE4sqdvE
It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXFtxh7ttF

"I've to admit, when 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbZCzDM5YT
Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoaudda2yu
Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwMencYlaB

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyKVPDNkbT

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjETFy6Y4Iw

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ahRjIzTw

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP9BV1z1TN

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecDJc8uiuv

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc16wdUi8y

I couldn't stop smiling 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUzCxeoBEE
at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7j8ZYZE0m
Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJAEw7kWOr
told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU34UX6o0r
good voice and a golden one.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAt2y7PjM2

Immediately our managers1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAuOvna0WJ
left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0cpL0aLcR
engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxSCBxhM55
that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG8B00Citd
musical instruments.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUclWKu6rk

This was always the hard1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffqhawm1nO
part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvZhBM6p1P
tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrkL5uOigE
But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwteRZ0lqoX
to use auto tunes and electric beats.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf0AkvDfAR

An hour had passed and I1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Uas2nHkA4
was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKSuWub1GP
this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqovR9KCtUr
enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghAztEpHTJ
Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9Fpg5LUvi
couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFLv8IWjjb

"It's been an hour and I1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7984CjA41
already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfuWgzoCMh
on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0yYSbRcaT

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmPiozKfx4

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKVGcwJHaG

"Trust me, you're so 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7AR8F09Ms
tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4llnRNmUlF
"You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB0eUsLKcX

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb7CVEi3ZC

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N2EltrmHJ

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJBL7Fgl5O

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHPicvVOLP

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xtrhhLeR0

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J1jnFC1Gm

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpxqiQnMPm

"Mmmm." I murmured in 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU06vl02Vt
pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX3Rp5JRHx
"You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKiSTQj1pR
masseur."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpog6eZsch

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOzbnQlBTF

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC1j2k7iBV

The music producer soon 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQJZnh9ZYJ
decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrTyI1He8M
own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50hLeBke0R
with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSHKHCjylS
so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNUO9oc1La
recording the track.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOf15VqBk9

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXvw6sno6L

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3AnS3StX7

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekXjvm20mq

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVrimFpAsf

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKg6RX92L9

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLYjQ9g8Sl

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ajPepdNp3
thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyCHn8wBcu
catch up with all that's happened in Paris."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyWSMub1Z7

"Let me guess, you're 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi69LwG7Xt
avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmiBTqeZst
were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8evQnz6HDC

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytq8LGzkUr

Something told me his 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK9fT8ZdV2
important work had something to do with what he talked about this 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJdyP4XIC8
morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sE4dDKkbj
always does.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMbKBvVD8e

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas0q65iKtj

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJlAZ5EJwc

It was late in the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3AJqT8D1c
afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC42BRqmTZv
console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPnIvh1auz
eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5GO4J2XeS
Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAun3ScvjaY

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCFm66QLTQ

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwvf6GJBXt

I looked beside him and I1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB52H4WqPH
realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu32KzEnoTN
and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB83zDKeGfb
music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRHUmJ9khs
leaning my head on the console.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqaVLJwD8f

"I always hate this part1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYWC435uLl
of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwUcptUp6w
so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O0gtSqLOO
console.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtH7JhHD7m

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU6tXJlBYK

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SEoPerYeK

"I wonder what time."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TqHjW5hPU

"Wait." I pushed my head1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnTOeIflqF
upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMcz98AZNp
feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt1V0sqLPy
drunk and the world around me was spinning.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgbzwG9HoC

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpWUdCj6dI

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CrmPZJV1g

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxLbUu4g2D

"I didn't sleep well 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCifHGzx0kH
last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLah4fCdwq
blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwAcITuVGw

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIdfKxE2cG

"You're right." I soon 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYwihrYWdZ
dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2Xa5PRuEM
arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDzXgWjmkp

"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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHZcwusdhL

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kgx7Bd4IJ

"Alright. Thanks."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxrAU3PL38

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zNnA4KBsF

"And so will I," said Seungri.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpffK7TNtr

"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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xyKSWSYgc

Immediately I left the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfucVGPDeW
studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBEl9a9LGu
just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFESFktSM1H

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqCW0Th95c

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0sehsQA6c

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVlhCs2SSd

Phew! Taeyang hadn't 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQQJ1Pk9QC
noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKxeE5cQBp
tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneR2MY0gd3

The next thing I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK7mkqjGHR
remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRiH9UIRfd
roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawRMd7QfYt
on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5v7va1Slq

I woke up by the sound 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGUSRBuFJE
of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw4XDqO9WO
them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3lXQXWfiP
here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2ULiJR3pK
phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXDfAZYhcq

I reached out for the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzekVGCyvkE
drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rlIt6bgVl
phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes,1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLywgr37Fs
I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDQMvV7WRM

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeUHBVMw0s

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAHHYfth0N

"I could hear it ringing1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA3vGdw9ww
and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzk2hKqKhR
but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4WZqfq7yK

"Thanks," I said as I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtk9k6q0Bo
sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTf7Ojk9ME
could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXCrvbAhUR

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPCKs1dRcQ

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFZmlf4zhB

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25a4pOOnQb

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gVjieMxrf

Lee left the room and I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYJ1ngSwd4
went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxZuihJ3Ch
just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqX2dX6294

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXOB3Qf1k8

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in her mouth.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq12SICJ37M

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b89kwpyyn

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iAVbpmrME

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p61FrSt5I

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlcrjqrRGR

I dashed over to the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsc7N9YqUq
dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKxtgL66ds
quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ag7tNguXC

It was now 10 PM and 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ8157zveL
Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslrVI7xyqY
there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0CtleN6cR
they were right now.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTIWEVRsjZ

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHMbCJYTra

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrw6rKdDw5

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRmahgjlWv

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYoXz8oZ3N

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3i4h4ti9f

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxx0VoIU56

"True."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdixt4AJhB

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWxm3klZUX

Two bell boys came out 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc6Xae7O3L
of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwl8RSA3mC
in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7HT3lOkQn

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqeA4vdptp

There were so many gift 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GAUTrWA3q
boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pkSvC617J
boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOaAtgrgF0
into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLtxtwND3s
so pissed.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5iDUYTmqm

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDp940POEW

"They are downstairs," he answered.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oweIKy5f3

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdybQcwDpM

When the doors flew 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HFiZuft9P
open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmcsZVQMZP
conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCesYsqzD0B
I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ719LjPf5KO

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrlkiNQx4K

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR3t9Bp2lt

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDiirMZIjr

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsemYajwJs

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5HWlQ70Aw

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7ABwcQzsb

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GhCHCyZ6s

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu8YOA4O7g

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjan88DVnzm

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwjDO1ZGoJ

I raised an eyebrow. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuQ8MEmqTw
Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl41uoBedC
the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaQ1cUdht1

"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?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvoBykPCK7

"Everyone just missed 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD60OttDtpF
you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDhC9u3OhE
me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyTapdMs66

I rolled my eyes at him,1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiKoelcBwA
feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpTgXSVDZz
steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbx54KJyx9
face when I hugged him.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRgfaJKyiG

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGZ5YfoyGo

"Wait! You missed TOP 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEPu7YW8Zc
but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSjuYW1QTp
and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL0WA18PDn

I always loved it when 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9zMGXmo9y
Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJJidDbPl9
smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBquGVNgxAH

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTclutRMyNK

For a moment, that voice1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgydjb948w
sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6kgwNFtq3
clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3htHomYJq
almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hzm5lnSHi
wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRUeRnJLjk
he was still acting the same way he had left.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa426SbhLDV

I was really confused. I1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnbxSKBA1X
wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNBSAzY5wE
to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraV8LVmLHW
This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO3KdxQ62E
personal and it had to do with me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMlB8zUTbI

I had no other choice 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou8uyiyDDk
but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ev3jOvq64
how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX35w3wWVjJ
Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbqYSoS6Kc

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdZeMIeFPg

By the look on his face,1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxvD3bYqB5
I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPMzkpY54O
he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP8bXi6HOq
going to end pretty tonight.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbMGP6h9A0

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IRTslCYos

"Ya, I did."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsuvsPFwqY

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfsJ424Jij

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXU25T94Mu

"Can't wait to hear it,"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxImBOyHuCM
said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnAyfbwgNn
"You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2gPXQyuIn

"Anything for you, 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCKJBadBaf
guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dqYrxVfQi
about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSj9Q8iOIP
look at Zoey.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgJvKu8igv

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFgj2LKB5A

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EtD6iwfYA

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmeGuGOjLf

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoTq24LfPD

"You know Collins is 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkOoLUtHk7
going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOCtXgMiJ3
Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdpWNgwxCs
floor.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY5NZxTQdQ

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbRh8Bcl0Z

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9Iibpm8n2

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoXPaV7gS9

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8l27sPoJ3

"We better sort out all 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OnnXE3HBe
the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NpBH5lXaW
side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sKlUTXeOQ
floor.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVV15XUgWj

Sorting out all the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtxHMj9sAj
packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy3qvKlfBA
gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZNBjhJIsa
had really bought a lot of stuff.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14YFAKmAA2

The boys had brought a 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uaKmEqN7S
handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGE9jxWKfP
jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTaR7qo28i
expensive designer shoes.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw30eKJ8z1R

As for Zoey and 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr8cL06qHx
Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGflfbt6or9
to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyExim9G4k2
bought along with her some expensive jewellery.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BnEfXCOYR

"G-Dragon was helping me1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8wKr0RtXn
out with picking the jewellery," said Zoey when she showed us a pretty 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufy8SvIdJM
gold necklace with matching gold earrings.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpItjv2CWXN

"Wow, very pretty," said Lee as she looked at the jewellery.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc69BLdim7x

"Ya, very pretty," I said dully, looking at it briefly.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQrm6Cy5Y9

We were sitting on the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXVeTRac6G
floor in the lounge sorting out the gifts. The ladies were huddled up in1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h0Grdd8kt
one circle while the boys were next to us also sorting out their own 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPBK6LVD96
stuff with Collins' too.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCxqhhOKOG

"We also bought a beautiful necklace for you too," said Christine looking over the boxes behind her. "Where is it?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g7DwVzAbq

I was also searching for any jewellery box behind me when I stumbled over a box of Lindtt chocolates.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlkviH4u8r

"Yum, is this for me?" I asked as I got the box and looked greedily at it.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVv0EISxPk

"Hey! It's for all of us," Zoey warned. "I know you love chocolates, but you don't have to be so selfish."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8arzshoq4

"Since when have I ever been selfish?" I asked, as I opened the box.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmebGI4p5M6

"Okay, you've never been selfish. But when it comes to chocolates...."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xDu4Vono1

"'But when it comes to chocolates.....'" I mimicked her. "At least I know how to share."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjf9H3DtSX

I distributed the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47lZNF4q3s
chocolates to everyone. Lee was trying on a pair of heels which looked 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKJSAQJWQk
so good on her while Zoey kept on looking for the jewellery box which 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgN7rJsb8G
was meant for me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaziGTQ1Yp

"Where is it?" Zoey muttered to herself as she looked at the other packages on the floor.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZWOmdLnFM

"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."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPXBKmAO6a

"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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJVD1fLHyh

"But we better pack up some of these stuff," said Lee. "This place is in a mess and Collins might....."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN0mBMkz6x

When Lee just mentioned his name, the sound of the elevator doors opening was heard. Collins was here!1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzEe5XRZmF

For a moment, time 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig0x87fX9z
seemed to have stopped and all of us in the lounge had stopped along 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2NcwfWGj3
with it. We all had our mouths open, looking at each other in shock. We 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyB1NTqGLU
hadn't finished packing up and Collins would freak out when he sees this1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbqeBXeD3P
mess.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJULyVFaEYW

"Hey, guys I'm here!" came Collins voice in the hall.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RFltBRTt8

"What are we going to do?" Mike whispered as he looked at me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv6nXAHsEJ

"I don't know," I whispered. This was bad.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtKxGNgW7E

"Hide," Zoey whispered.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7s2XGL9dv

For me, it kind of felt 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyxkqjD4Vr
pointless to hide. But not for the other four Toxins. Zoey went to the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvYPBzngOJ
dining table and hid under the table. Christine, Mike and Daniel hid 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS2wNgZlY0
behind the couch. Lee and I just stood there, static.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF39MmofnMI

When Collins came to the1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmIyuFSrb9
lounge, he stopped on his tracks. He was obviously trying to take 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43RkLvdsCt
everything in. His mouth was slightly open, trying to say something, but1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Yq4ZnUPf
he just couldn't.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaHWexU3XW

"Hey, Collins," I said.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNIz4x8J9a

"What is all this?" Collins asked when as he took a step into the lounge, looking around.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDkkG8xE8X

"Christmas came a little early," said Lee, with a smile.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLDzXovft1

Collins looked over at Lee and noticed the heels she was wearing. "Those look nice."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfvbSlRGON

"Thanks."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsueylCuT2

"Where are they?" Collins turned to look at me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY98PJI7UTs

"Who?" I asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL3xZk4CK4

"You know who I'm talking about."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BLji4CVMa

"If you're talking about Santa's little helpers, they left a while ago." I said as I folded my arms.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7eo6v0ZPS

"Santa's little helpers, alright," said Collins as he carefully walked around, avoiding to step on anything.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqPUP1tsiB

Collins went over to the1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9QEG5dhVk
dining table. There were a few gifts on the table and down on the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21PW3pOWuJ
floor. Collins moved the presents down on the floor and Zoey was beaming1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG01Ul84gI
up at him.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk1mQXuO88

"Hey, Collins! Looks like you found one elf who stayed behind," said Zoey, beaming up at him.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoQlQ9W0Wo

"Where are the others?" Collins asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2U6S1cSVj

Christine, Daniel and Mike came out from behind the couch and they all said, "hey, Collins!"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWUGvfYg6c

"Guys, what is all this?" Collins said as he looked around the lounge.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV0ktr3OLi

"Gifts from Paris," said Zoey.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ228CXSkJZ8

"But why did you get all this stuff? I hope you didn't use your credit cards."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCooUL9Vf4

"Well..." Mike looked down at his feet.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3hzUWJYdM

"Okay, great." Collins looked worn out if not frustrated. "I hope you didn't finish up all the money in your accounts."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj1zC9ZXyv

"I doubt it," said Daniel. "We made sure to be careful with what we were buying."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErtDxXosVt

"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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHxuIM4tyF

"I'll know for myself when I get to see your bank accounts," said Collins.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ofqnskVYo

"Here, we brought you an1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDhPJrfpmT
expensive watch too," said Daniel as he gave Collins a fancy looking 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdj4YLICaW
box. A watch from Rolex. It was definitely expensive.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCyJHuuAWn

"That's because you're the best manager ever," said Christine.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bp23fUGor

"Thanks," said Collins, 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZfM04Y1FQ
as he looked at the watch, looking rather impressed. "Do me a favour and1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXt0LPpeml
finish clearing up all this. And also bring my gifts to my room. Okay?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNZLyi6g2T

Collins smiled at the rest of us and left the lounge.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx670mVize

"Looks like he isn't really upset," said Lee. "He would have blown a big fuse already."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorOHR4UON4

Lee was right. Collins 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAq8ZDN7xu
wasn't really upset, but that smile he gave us before he left, made me 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNAgkmSqX0
realise something. He might be upset, but I felt like he had already 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf9nIagndG
arranged something to get back at us. And why not that which he and Yang1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmHVlDez1d
Hyun-suk have planned for us? That for me would be the perfect payback.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj8wuv2Dep
That's if it is that bad enough to stun us all.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS72zuhVvJ

"Okay, people, let's get done with this," said Zoey. "It's almost close to midnight."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Lh8W0irK

We continued sorting out1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEtyfBBA8m
everything and by midnight, the lounge had cleared up a little except a1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFdoQAsMOb
few wrappers on the floor which we picked up and threw away in the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8F9oUKVYk
waste bin which was overflowing with wrappers and empty boxes. And I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oG7qDPuM4
planned with the others to sing them the song tomorrow because it was 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDjZP6yo6i
already too late and we all needed to rest.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPKEX1Jdil

We hadn't managed to 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcJ2jZZ407
find the jewellery box with my necklace. Zoey thought maybe TOP or GD 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB86Z9l2I7
had it. I didn't like the thought that GD might have it. Getting it back1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OQAaySVQu
from him was going to be difficult, looking at our current situation of1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe0zXCdBrB
course.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJFMh1EwJy

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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjx6HnRphH

"Zoey, what's wrong with you?" I asked when she made me sit on the bed.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUviEWCOF5

Zoey went by the door and checked in the hall if there was anyone. Then she came back in and stood before me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGizWUiBHH

"What is it, Zoey?" I asked. "What's so urgent?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUf5ZjA6qv

"Nothing much," said Zoey. "I just needed you in the room."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSoGHptqUq

I looked at her with an 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZU6ahIma9
eyebrow raised. Something was definitely up and she looked like she was 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X0Mdp4IbO
stuck in between telling me what was bothering her or not.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALwErj7JNH

"So, tell me what happened in Paris," I said as I took my Mr Panda into my arms. "How was the fashion show?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDsTAt3m4I

"It was fine," Zoey replied as she walked to the closet to get her pyjamas.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWQbhd1IPm

"Fine?" I looked at 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPqN30nmi0
Zoey's back and then I looked at Mr Panda then back at her again. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefTuxstZRE
"Knowing you, you would've said it was so exquisite or it was so 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8FH2CIwEa
awesome. What's happened to you? This isn't my best friend."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtazso8Ni3P

"Nothing happened," said Zoey as she took out her pyjamas and came back to put them on the bed.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf3Roz4JQ3

"Tell me, please!" I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3e4OjRXDb
begged. I even made Mr Panda on my lap beg as well putting his tiny cute1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnpHVnkjMQ
paws together. "Nothing is not an excuse. You look like you want to 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1CWDTMHxS
tell me something. So tell me!"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGVAR8y2mc

"Keep your voice down!" Zoey snapped at me as she tried to cover my mouth but I slapped her hand away.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvNokM8uAp

"Then what's wrong, Zoey? Did something happen in Paris?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M5nz4Nzfw

"Well, nothing much happened," said Zoey as she sat down on her bed and looked lost in thought.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQIpR1gIvi

"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."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt7vHEmbrG

Zoey paused and looked at me for a few seconds. Then she slumped her shoulders and sighed. "Okay, I will tell you."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumNjcT7TqW

I felt really excited 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT39eXOO4D
like I was about to watch a blockbuster movie. I hugged Mr Panda close 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0dmA7rxDc
to me. Ready for what's about to drop out of Zoey's mouth.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVq6Eic03N

"I don't know how I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAusXNP6OG
should tell you this," said Zoey as she played with her fingers and was 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY94YbPmpA
staring somewhere else. "But when we got to Paris, we went to the Eiffle1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw0XxjZvTf
Tower."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNltSTY2SKE

"Ya, I saw the picture. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pft6OD71s
So much for going to Paris without me," I muttered. "You know I have 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5FcocVVkq
always wanted to visit the Eiffle Tower."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPbf3o56YG

"Aren't you going to let me talk?" Zoey asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32XRVCPZUW

"Okay. Continue." I pressed my chin onto Mr Panda's head.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsAiRhhjQn

"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."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88ut1M9mDM

"What?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6uFN5XYzy

"When we got to the top 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbnTRA5Y0s
of the Eiffle Tower, we were enjoying the view and I was so caught up 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ0hp3iQ56
with looking at the bright lights of the city I didn't notice that the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaXqfSEYNE
others had left and it was just GD and I."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZeyfGouvA

My eyes grew wide. I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKGZ94Ku20
knew where all this was going already. And before I could let my best 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoxcl1qUQu
friend share her magical moment herself, I blurted it out.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh3AdnvIgH

"You two kissed."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hyUhraBIO

"What the...! Sam!" Zoey hit the bed with her hands. "How could you!"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6s5dX4XyK

"I'm sorry." I hissed and covered my mouth. That wasn't supposed to happen.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9KPd8RCxz

"Great! How did you know?" Zoey still looked pissed, but yet surprised.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmggxAMAMvm

"Well, you were in one 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8YSZwWnMG
of the most romantic cities in the world and you two were left alone, so1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2uuGHIRqm
for me, that was a perfect romantic scene."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCX1HaY1V4

"Smart."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIyIJn6gJF

"Thanks. So, how was it?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw7OLee1Yq

Zoey smiled like a fool,1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuTJ6zpVX5
now that the secret was out in the open. "It was so unexpected but yet 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxnOYCrkUY
it was so magical at the same time."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtjOJtsQNe

I couldn't help but 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iBo1t2rh0
smile. It's been a long time since she smiled like that. The last time 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ6cyICXpF
she did, it was back in high school when she was going out with the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27JJbALiRh
hottest and yet popular guy in school and they kissed in front of 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUo6ilEahR
everyone at the prom.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZgPCOG5lu

"Oh my gosh, Sam," said Zoey rubbing her cheeks. She was blushing. "I can't stop smiling to myself."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfTpCvQTF4

"So you guys kissed, and then what?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt9M1XwRKg

"Nothing really. We had to pretend in front of the others when we went down the Eiffle Tower like nothing had happened."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM5Z0h9h7w

"And? Anything else? 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecKzCtf19e
What happened at the top of the Tower after you kissed?" I leaned 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlbAqCgX5B
forwards with Mr Panda also eager to hear.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9VSbKbwni

"When we were on top of 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCEgx99wvd
the Tower, when we kissed, he told me he liked me and kept on saying the1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCcyilNDwX
most sweetest words ever. How he had always liked me."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tZHcpeh63

Well that's a bummer. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTKvB9CLnY
But to be honest, I expected it. I remembered he had also said those 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBcs19g5ny
words to me too. But that was when he was drunk. Could it be that he 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrlp3UoytN
really liked Zoey and not me?1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeEwOFP7dg

I brushed that off. Why 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPQXGuUREm
should I even care? I knew from the very beginning that GD wasn't in his1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtYsh6TcXU
right state of mind when he told me he liked me. I didn't really get my1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOHViviUtE
hopes up with it.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpGqI5jGi8

"I even told Christine," said Zoey. "I just hope you don't tell Collins."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynpKkMxm7p

"And why should I tell him?" I asked, shrugging my shoulders.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDMkkeYOwM

"Ya, you're right. And don't tell your brothers. They are going to make fun of me."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKtHaRjUJ9

"Telling my brothers is one thing I wouldn't do."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJMvipysHs

"Thanks, Sam."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73LaFky3gV

"Hey, what are best friends for? We better go to sleep. We might leave for YG tomorrow really early."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAjRYie46f

"Okay." Zoey hopped on her bed like a little child and started to change into her pyjamas.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob7GCMZta1

I left Mr Panda on the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMGG9Ie1Rn
bed and also went to the closet to get my pyjamas. When I changed, I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprXA5s8SZM
quickly went into the bed covers and put Mr Panda right beside me. I had1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlxR1Mqc07
gotten used to the stuffed panda being around whenever I slept. I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeshQIA3W4H
looked over at Zoey who was already in her bed covers.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYo2gI8pbu

"Good night, Zoey," I said to her with a smile.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrwsIn4O8g

"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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNnkV0mn3i

I laid my head on the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp686t3CbH
pillow and just as I closed my eyes, I could hear Zoey giggling to 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVU7WcQ4gp
herself. She was obviously texting G-Dragon on her phone and I couldn't 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuSFQ7BVRS
blame her. She was so happy when she talked to me about kissing him on 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfCbTtctoN
the Eiffle Tower. And it was also probably a good thing that I had never1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiixbq3A4Pi
told Zoey what happened on Friday when GD came in drunk and told me 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMAUHVoIrq
that he liked me. I could only imagine what the whole scenario would 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLaDSFQt5d
have been.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGN986FsXk

Zoey would have only 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVeQfJn7oe
felt guilty about it and would have confronted GD about playing the two 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe87QQ4oDr
of us around. It wasn't like he kissed me anyway, so maybe I was a bit 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpSdJl7YlY
on the safe side. But it was still good that I didn't tell her anything.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwqOfiPVWc

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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpER96ziJFX

I pulled Mr Panda closer1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUkdr7iQFl
and cuddled him. I was soon drifting away into a deep sleep, eager for 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IjUqrBtMt
what's to come when I woke up in the morning.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMjpX76GuG

***1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw4ymhK7YW

I was given a round of 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBD4dTQxL7
applause when I finished singing the song. I was in the lounge with the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0yZGyNEaQ
Toxins and I stood before them as I sang the song. I didn't have a 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n6iYUj4gR
guitar with me but I managed to sing it anyway.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3ID6d6QcR

"The song is incredible," said Zoey. "I never thought it would be this good."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujZjzRRUjn

"And your Korean is good too," said Christine.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV71OR830U

"I can't wait to start working on the song," said Mike.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgJ3k9qNtB

"Then you better eat 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpid9kMFm48
your breakfast," said Lee as she came in with the room service bringing 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsq5pLodv6
in our breakfast. "We have a long day ahead."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vKt9ROj3I

We went over to the dinning table and settled down. We were all having toast for breakfast.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaohcFVKOyi

"I can't wait for us to 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DLjRRVaLk
go to the studio," said Zoey happily as she jumped excitedly on her seat1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHywK6sEEoL
beside me. I could only tell why.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzMRYuxLKt

Christine who sat 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSXAEBqP5I
opposite from Zoey coughed and I could tell that she just coughed out 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zhkC3b01F
G-Dragon's name. Luckily, the boys hadn't even noticed. And by the look 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCseXYYR2f
on Lee's face, sitting directly opposite me, she already knew about Zoey1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VpSBuylB4
and G-Dragon.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GoBI2wEMD

When we were done 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfaGRnHJ0V
eating, we headed downstairs and as usual, there were paparazzi, 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMomSsI3O7
reporters and fans too. We entered into the SUV and we arrived at YG.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKmk75xoEv

"Hey, Sam," Zoey called out to me when we got out of the car. I turned to look at her.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVEkdwY3f9

"What is it, Zoey?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpN7F1IXX4

"Do I look okay? I mean, is my hair on point, my make up?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08bHaZfNbj

Mike growled loudly behind us as he came out of the car with Daniel right behind him. "The drama queen is at it again."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWSOifSRxL

"Can't you just zip up your mouth and let me worry about myself?" Zoey asked, rolling her eyes.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4inhLpm3Ul

"That's the problem," 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxmggG6tGW
said Mike as he came to stand in front of Zoey. "Once you start acting 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa96sVPRJ4
like this, something is definitely up or you're just trying to impress 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4DUhSdpx8
someone. You've been acting really weird ever since we got to Paris."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb3G4fqN0w

Mike turned away and 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvjN7tA7Ad
headed straight for the entrance with Daniel. I could have sworn I saw 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMSnKo0sMC
him smirk before he walked away. Could it be that he might know 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7poIfLmG2
something?1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWma9QklAYT

"Don't mind him," said Christine. "You know how these boys like to mock us. Let's go."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5POmO2nSt

We agreed with Christine1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMALH2ZyOg
and we went into the YG building with Lee and Collins. We got to the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65q06C2LZl
studio and I wasn't expecting the BigBang members to be there before us.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BYpjxsGhz
Finding them here earlier than us was a bit of a surprise.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1y1NwK5gR

"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted everyone.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5LtK9ZKju

"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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tJEE3FBtR

"Hey, are you alright?" Daesung asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWJWptS8u5

"Oh, I'm fine," I answered. "I slept a little late last night since these guys came with so many gifts."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j2CxFRiMc

"I also feel like I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeWFKkfU4D
didn't get enough sleep," said Christine as she came to sit beside me. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEg890bmRO
She was obviously trying to avoid the two love birds in the room. The 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OE3BivajC
two of them seem to be in a deep conversation at the moment.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmRYox4ZcV

"Do you think we should 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd7td2STJ8
start?" Seungri asked as he came to stand by the couch and also noticed 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gVLazetqt
how close Zoey and G-Dragon were.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YYHaHN1T1

"What's up with them?" Mike asked as he stood in front of me with his arms folded.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2isMlfaC6u

"Can't you see they are having a conversation?" Christine asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjmokb1ogi

"Well, I think we should start working on the song," said TOP who sat next to Daesung.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb5PLDQtol

"I think someone has to tell these guys," said Taeyang. "Sam? May you do the honours?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBGRZdWo5x

I looked over at Taeyang who sat at the far end of the couch with my eyebrow raised.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2VsV82oDO

"You do it," I said. "Why should I?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoS5k1AtuE

"Because everyone listens to you," said Daniel.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXphyZoWzmY

Everyone around me shook their heads. I sighed.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxOQjj6ZDH

I stood up from the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WB6T6ujQI
couch and I went over to the multi track console where I had left my 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWODstpMAj4
notebook yesterday. Zoey and G-Dragon were still indulged in their 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ6Sg9p5cs
conversation.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmNdYcM6mk

When I went back, I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuctYxUyW6T
signalled to the others who were standing to sit down. When everyone on 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MA1Ja2yNK
the couch was settled, I cleared my throat so loud, hopeful that I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZNNokTaKj
caught Zoey and G-Dragon's attention.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcaOHN9SNJ

"Ahem! So, we have to agree on who will sing the first verse," I said as I looked at the notebook.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2LRwW2gBS

"I was thinking, G-Dragon and Zoey could start," said Daniel, as loud as he could.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnyqauyYk5

"That's not really a bad idea." I nodded my head.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBDfYoaJn1

"Hey, what's going on?" Zoey asked as she and G-Dragon turned to look at us.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF98eVUNNq

"Oh, you guys better come here because we're dividing the lyrics amongst ourselves," I said as I turned to look at the two.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdlsTquy7B

"You should have told us," said G-Dragon.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CmixnWCC6

"Well, I didn't want to disturb you two. You looked really busy. And the two of you will be doing the first verse."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YVJ0ikNyS

G-Dragon gave me a weird1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk713SBXuXw
look and all I could do was smirk at him. My plan had worked to get 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYKBCeo7oN
their attention. I went back to looking at the lyrics while he and Zoey 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP7U8nXQJh
took their place on the couch.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8CnkzIaY7

"Christine and Daesung, I1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cINGjxAHJ
think one of you could sing the bridge after the first verse and then 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDQvNqDSk0
the other on the second bridge after the second verse," I suggested.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC26PvGpJnt

"Then you and I will sing the chorus," said Taeyang.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxqng0CCTG

"Ya, we will sing the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjqfIrsPC9
chorus," I said. "And Seungri and Daniel will sing the last verse. So, 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjpOQzCDIj
now that we are done with all this, let me just give you guys a preview 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEpvrj0XHj
of the song and how its supposed to be laid out. I hope the music 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE9RUSb22Y
producer has the lyrics printed out."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7Icbwcb2k

"He brought in the printed lyrics for each of us this morning," said TOP, his eyes on the table behind me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCBYolkzH4

I looked behind me on the small table. I hadn't noticed the papers. I took them and gave each member a sheet.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd8Rf6amMc

Afterwards, I sang out the song so that everyone can have a layout on how it should be sung.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbjhihOJlB

Then we all went over 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQxIG2HuYl
the console so that everyone could listen to the instrumental the music 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGq7ortigf
producer had made with me and the others yesterday.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb3j6tSWT2

"So, what do you think of the instrumental?" I asked after making them listen.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83E4U8SKwd

"So catchy," said Daniel. "I like it."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxo5xbPdPK

"Me too," said TOP.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdazvI7gNVr

"Then, let's get started," said Daesung.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRmbxNN32x

"Wait, a minute," said G-Dragon and everyone turned to look at him.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEWKzpkEQw

I didn't look up at him 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV0TX8qHOH
though since I was the one seated at the console and everyone else stood1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLzqQYRnIW
behind and beside me. All I did was just sit there and rub my forehead.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbf7YygIco
Something told me he was going to say something I wasn't ready to hear.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl87bQwUAQw

"What's wrong, GD?" Christine asked. "Is there something wrong?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf1Wj28L5X

I started to relax my 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnb2DHLVoT
temples with my fingers and my elbows leaning on the console. G-Dragon 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdMpYqL8Bw
had paused for a while and I felt impatient.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnFo8vEO3q

"The instrumental is okay and all, but I feel there is something missing."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS9NaRMjFr

"What's missing?" I asked as I turned around on the chair to look at G-Dragon.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ky35Q39U1

G-Dragon came to sit 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkuanXVWHC
next to the chair beside me and I wondered what was running in his mind.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7GYCRxgfE
The instrumental was just fine and it's not like we hadn't gone through1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9CzUctyg5
it with the music producer yesterday. I wondered what had gotten into 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOagCaIEha
him now. Everyone liked it. But what was wrong with it for him?1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjdos3hbGU

"I'll have to listen to this for a while and I'll tell what I think," said G-Dragon.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7JSK3fDvl

"Okay, suit yourself," I said as I backed away from the console dragging the chair behind me. I stood up.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UXel9E9EF

G-Dragon got the headphones and at the same time, the music producer came in the room.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vuKBUNCZk

"So, should we start putting in the lyrics into the song?" the music producer asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgV9U7rgl8

"We can't because G-Dragon here thinks the tune and melodies need a little changing," I said.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbhdNmu58L

"Really?" the music producer asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOCU6wVhB9

"Well, that's what he said," said Taeyang. "It all seems fine to me. I also don't see why it needs changing."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqGvOkNl4B

"Let's just see what he is going to come up with," I said as I folded my arms.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxoaHW5eYp

"Give him a chance, 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zaaHd59vH
Sam," said Zoey as she sat next to G-Dragon who kept on listening to the1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZFhjNhYzn
instrumental through the headphones. She also got another pair of 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn345Cnys8
headphones and put them on.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrbtLTpuGh

"Okay, this is 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlX2cefl2M
confusing," said the music producer looking at all of us. "Let me also 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3EpZ16kVg
join them and see what needs some changing."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB3ybBqnkt

I nodded and the music producer went over to join G-Dragon and Zoey.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuijrKCbuLQ

"So what should we do now?" Seungri asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGGEIWfs25

"Chill, I guess," said Mike.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyTVL738Uq

The others looked at me 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg7g7QObOi
when I didn't say a word. They were all looking at me obviously thinking1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO34amndDn
I would come up with a better solution to all this just to pass time.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXYdTaAEVW

"To be honest, I don't know what we should do," I replied, shrugging my shoulders.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUaqmgAmU3

"Why can't we just go through the song?" TOP asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tARKvNXad

"That's going to be a 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0CC9RXyW1
problem." I rubbed the back of my neck. "The tune might change a little 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31ypsW3dlh
now that GD thinks it needs a little changing."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFOyk53fT0

"I doubt it," said Taeyang shaking his head. "We can still go through it. I don't think he can change the entire tune."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV5RPWXpsD

Something told me he might but I didn't want to scare anyone so I kept that thought to myself.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZdlAi0uHV

"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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSP1DmMVkb

I looked over at Zoey 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHXrvEv57h
and G-Dragon. I wondered if they would really change everything. I tried1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrci5S4XA9v
to ignore the thought, and focused on the song.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSDcYGtQgg

I put a stool in front 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYIcTKFO7L
of the others and I sat on it like I had yesterday. With the guitar in 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LrXMDOo2P
my hands, I started to play and I sang the song. After I sang it, 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid8Uxi460g
everyone admitted that the song was good and that made me realise about 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g730emnnW
what G-Dragon was up to. I tried not to look worried in front of the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hgTuGunzm
others.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDyyFUcxku

"Now, that we know how the song is supposed to flow, let's all sing out our parts," I said. Everyone agreed.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7HTuNNq5K

Taeyang and I sung the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Er90ZmZcf
first verse since G-Dragon and Zoey were busy. Then Christine sung the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgXbHNXth6
bridge, Taeyang and I sung the chorus. From that point, the song sounded1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxwqQswmRk
great and everyone cheered.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5pvuVIoal

"Wow, guys, this sounds awesome," said TOP.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4WfV1aexi

"Mind blowing if you ask me," said Mike. "I can't wait for the second verse."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqNbMQ8o63

"Let's give it a go then," I said and I started to play the guitar.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3LRdEEDCb

TOP started to rap the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwib9p7o0o
second verse and then Mike followed suit. It was going on great. And 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD4I3Pr3hg
while I played and the guys rapped everyone else on the couch was moving1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUAZTDBwPB
to the flow of the tune. I smiled. Everyone was having a good time.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMOGewgYbW

Daesung sung the bridge and then Taeyang and I sung the chorus again. This time even Christine joined in.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXqAqmZyrG

"I'm impressed," I said. "You guys really did well on the second verse."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvi0aN0L0o

"Come on, now," said Seungri. "Daniel and I want to sing our part."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzScEpLol4

"Okay, okay." I looked at Seungri with my hand raised to calm him down. "Before you eat me alive."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldfhclSAwm

Daniel and Seungri sung 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILryJlo13O
the third verse beautifully, and coming to the bridge, Daesung and 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvPHn5aA7B
Christine sung the bridge together. Taeyang and I sung the chorus. In 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LhuUNq6wG
the end we all sang the chorus together. When we were done, everyone 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSxxkmzmBg
clapped for themselves and cheered.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0q1uZSDed

"That was lovely guys," I said as I smiled at the others.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1xT2D6Ols

"That sounds really good," came Yang Hyun-suk's voice behind me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47QUbiJzXS

I almost fell off the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoDe5dPjfB
stool when I heard his voice. I was so caught up with the song that I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiGqUv993w
hadn't noticed Yang Hyun-suk come in the room. By the look on the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk0s29xrCv
other's faces, they hadn't noticed him either.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s2a74DnLc

We all stood and bowed our heads as Yang Hyun-suk came closer to us.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs1uD5OWrx

"I have to say, you all 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFrIRGKrVX
sounded really good. The song is just perfect," said Yang Hyun-suk with a1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sa9poKBEt
smile. "Keep up the good work."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOyqztpPma

"Thank you," we all replied at the same time.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiSPJoJsMX

"You're supposed to be in the live room recording the song," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Why aren't you doing so?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Utl9WrHBq

No one said anything. We1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsbPize4hN
all looked at each other expecting the other to say something. Most 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T2yHmmHoM
eyes were on me though. I always hated it when I had to do all the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSWiHpbfEe
talking.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagVmFjOyj6

"Umm, G-Dragon wanted to add a few things to the instrumental," I said, not looking at the manager in the eye.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8p38dhfkw

"Add a few things or change things?" Yang Hyun-suk asked, sternly.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4cMPMekM3

That, I couldn't answer.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkssy4P2oWd
Looked like he also thought like I did. The only way to find out was to1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpBH755RF8
listen to the instrumental ourselves.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTdnwv13o2

"He just said something was missing," said Taeyang.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu05JOUJOQ

"Then where is he then? Why isn't he here?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGZPkCSsup

"He's right-" I turned around to the console. He and Zoey weren't there.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcr7AFq6Uq

"They were here a while ago," I said as I pointed at the audio machines and the multi track console.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosVYVtlEzC

"They?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgEcMR5aFp

"G-Dragon, Zoey and the music producer."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPyx9JKD0X

The manager shook his head. He was obviously annoyed with all this.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGQ8ypKpuo

"I want them back here 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuztiglJkeP
right now," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I'll back in thirty minutes and if I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8AcnP5Mi5
don't find them here, you better have a good answer for all of this."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TlWJMMznQ

I gulped as I felt the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2coxNEr849
air in the room change. He was furious all right. He was more furious 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOFk3B8BDG
because he feared that G-Dragon might change everything with the song. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd24qQ2v85l
And we only had thirty minutes to find them or else we were toast.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rYd97oCRP

No one said anything 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q7p9Ydr8Z
when Yang Hyun-suk left the studio. And this time, I was furious. I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCynSVrZiBs
looked at the others and it looked like I wasn't the only one.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4Q1noV8Fa

"Where could they have 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwwe2aPgOV
gone all of the sudden?" Christine asked, her voice sounded like it was 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz02vZmGxQ
full of rage. "They were there the last time I checked."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOqlqpZSGo

"They couldn't have gone far," said Daesung. "They must have been gone a few minutes."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs1e4gyqEs

"Maybe they went out for lunch," said Mike as he looked at his wrist watch. "It's almost close to lunch time."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzboUAAEgTR

"They should have told us though," said Taeyang.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3ZVYYQCBE

"Then we better start 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREkXFW5aoC
looking," I said. "I just hope they aren't out of the building or else 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86gSVpQqqc
looking for them will be difficult."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfXsHHZltW

We all agreed to split 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVwOuYGt19
up and look for them given the little time we had. I went with Christine1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwVnNCIMwT
and TOP looking around the other studio rooms, Mike and Daniel went 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsB0My9tTi
over to the dance studios. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung went upstairs.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVXn09ga6b

All the studio rooms 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa3Liyn0Dj
were empty, so I went with Christine and TOP downstairs and asked the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTsqKehOje
receptionist if she saw Zoey and G-Dragon go out.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bx09rHxCx

"The two of them walked out just a while ago," the receptionist answered.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwV4vcHDl3

I frowned and turned away from the receptionist while Christine asked, "how long ago was it?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIeWQtDi2K

"Almost fifteen minutes."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9wXuomsz8

"Try and call them, will you?" I asked TOP.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xqHopf31a

He nodded and pulled out1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbkGunVDRl
his phone. At the same time, the elevator doors opened and my brothers 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16JZQ8jXo5
walked out of it and came towards us.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHJdXGOZWk

"Anything?" Daniel asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS4wGSl0uS

"They left the building," I answered with my hands on my hips. I looked over at TOP. "Have they picked up?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRmjZrpQxT

"GD's phone keeps ringing and he isn't picking up," said TOP, with his phone on his ear.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GygbBHT1q

"Let me try to call, Zoey," said Christine pulling out her phone.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNYSHeUQet

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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0XF3NMXpe

"She isn't picking up either," said Christine.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFyQkXC4S8

"Great, these guys are going to get us into trouble," said Mike as he scratched his head.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv4JhuTo1k

"If they just went for lunch they are bound to show up," said TOP.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7qv8lp39u

"Should we split up and look for them around town?" Daniel asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZIMBGRE8a

"Splitting up will be risky now that Yang Hyun-suk is on our necks," said Christine.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VWslTbOqM

I hadn't said a word 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF1IrtaTQF
when the elevator doors opened and Daesung came out. He had a really 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAMcwjwrsI
worried look on his face. He rushed up to us and I also couldn't help 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaP2Tep6zy
but worry.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0UBPoEcSD

"What is it, Daesung?" I asked. "Is there something wrong?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl3NTX2oDb

"We just met with the music producer upstairs," said Daesung. He shook his head. "You're not going to like this."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHsnNsLuhD

Daesung motioned his 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eXKFU52nY
head towards the elevator. We followed him and we found ourselves back 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYkvULeFuD
at the studio. Taeyang and Seungri were with the music producer.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOrnEgzQlf

"Please tell me G-Dragon didn't just change the entire tune for the song?" I asked when we got in the studio.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvP9DTZNhk

Taeyang and the music 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjQ3SNfDPV
producer looked at each other with blank looks on their faces then 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS6CFBTqka
looked back at me. Seungri was looking at me the whole time. I was so 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOtm7AHiWn
preoccupied in my mind, thinking of the worst, that I felt so confused 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOgasA8KgL
and angry at the same time.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsfSkoQSM1

"It's best if you hear it for yourself," said Daesung.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXoT0ltAEc

I looked over at Daesung1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEkwgJNnmp
and made my way to the console where the music producer had his laptop 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEFsGTlb8r
open for me. I sat down and preparing myself for the worst, I pressed 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFrlXdwmDg
the play button.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EX4pdXCuG

***1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xKsbIx8bw

"Where are they?" came Yang Hyun-suk's voice from the door.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhozkQarclz

I came crushing back 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRkWGhuEEk
down to reality by the harsh sound of the manager's voice. I was on the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhixElh0NL
couch with the rest of the others and I had been brooding for a while.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KBeWXb6Ni

I had so many mixed 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16eKILBwqn
feelings inside after listening to the instrumental G-Dragon had made. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTIkj6V8ba
He had completely changed everything and that made me so upset. After 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOoGegDGf5
all the work I had put in with the others yesterday and this is what I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw2kqAXYpc
get in return? I was speechless. So were the others.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbgO8H3I3o

I could tell that the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrpoYDOoFT
others were as confused and wondering why G-Dragon had done all this. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAdGKKYgFT
But I was confused with a mixture of rage. I worked so hard on that 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpjQQ81YpA
track and I felt everything just went down the drain.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLWFJGxKgO

"Isn't anyone going to answer me?" Yang Hyun-suk asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mbBfwJr0z

"They aren't here," Daniel answered.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKuxNCyfei

"It looks like they had gone out for lunch," said Taeyang.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99OfqGUfn4

"They went out without taking you guys along?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIwkQPpbHC

I folded my arms and 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFd3GWlCjL
huffed. It looked like they did, alright. And if they made sure as to 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRQ4C6NILT
come back here, I was going to skin them alive.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIJotJHhV8

"Maybe they must have gone to order us some lunch as well," said Christine.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRFb8ySFz6

"Well, they are taking a lot of time to get here," said Yang Hyun-suk. "What about the instrumental? Did they change anything?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0vQp9Nkru

I could feel Christine who sat next to me stiffen by the question and I could imagine the others stiffen too.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAObUbgsd5z

"Well...eh," Mike started to talk but I intervened.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI5gWb7Z3Y

"No, we haven't heard it yet."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy6sb6aAmY

I could feel the others 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa8ZERlYhl
turn to me with weird looks on their faces. I knew lying wasn't the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5dnoaGFVM
right thing to do at this moment, but the music producer's laptop wasn't1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2LJUSObvX
here and I had the USB drive where the instrumental was. And besides, 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEptp50MZx
Yang Hyun-suk was going to be furious. I had to know what the heck was 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8gOsl95Qx
going on in G-Dragon's mind before telling our managers anything.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMACUr86kv8

"Oh, hopefully they haven't changed anything," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Call me when they get here."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9FHehHPut

"Okay." I nodded my head.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl0IY4hrV0

When Yang Hyun-suk left,1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRG0ugMs6z
Seungri came over to me in a quick flash. He scared me by his sudden 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtC5sBr7TY
approach. He looked down on me with a look on his face.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIJcxnqImj

"What did you just do?" Seungri asked. His voice almost turned into a shriek.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jT3QCgtC4

"You know what I did," I answered, my arms still remained folded as I looked up at him. "I lied."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqTDyaIYl6

"But why?" Christine turned to look at me fully in the face. "We're going to get into serious trouble."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu5BSFg5B2

"Not until I hear what 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgutaYBb4rQ
GD has to say." I looked at Christine and I could tell on her face that I1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5QD0hkfAi
sounded a bit harsh towards her. I closed my eyes and took a breath, 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUFig3mxDi
trying to calm down.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HnfeBujgY

"Sorry, I didn't mean to sound harsh," I said as I looked at her.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TLIA8zjN7

"I know. But you shouldn't have lied, Sam."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5hV5fHMPi

"So that we could get 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaZUIn8y3A
Zoey and G-Dragon into trouble? The reason why I did this is because I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHRsoLZANy
want to know for myself why GD changed everything. If we told Yang 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB63FSMpI9p
Hyun-suk, I wouldn't have known for myself."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEefoSeTh4

"I agree with Sam," said1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93YgT8CBPb
TOP. "We the group members have to know what's going on first. Getting 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvV96vKOUE
Yang Hyun-suk angry won't be good for all of us and you know it."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn6QKzosDj

"So we just sit here and wait for them?" Mike asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdsHJgkrcJ

"Do we have a choice?" I asked as I looked out the window.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCehzKr5Uym

The rest of the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT19BMUIm7R
afternoon was quiet and boring. I was just on the couch looking out the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUa8TPcAys
window, while the others were now on the floor sitting in a circle 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv2tJNGWqz
playing cards.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1phTYRcqm

I was leaning my chin on1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbDleWiBS3
the armchair and my legs were up on the couch. I sighed sadly. I still 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8j3sHaG20
felt so bad about the song and I wondered why all this was happening, 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWH9vN8cp1
especially to me.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcLLdEPti1

Did he do all this because of what happened with TOP the other day?1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyrb6r0bIA

I suddenly sat upright 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguGiF4QgHW
when I realised something. Hadn't he told Zoey that he liked her? If he 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SejvmnElK
really did like Zoey from the beginning, then why was he acting like a 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfY3H95zd8
jealous prick the other day? Was he trying to get back at me not just by1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip8mCn474Z
ruining the track but also by hanging out with Zoey?1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcArQW3L7E

"Hey, Sam, are you okay?" Daesung asked as he looked at me. "You look like you have seen a ghost."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpuofbeyzu

"I...eh.." I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Nothing. Just realised something."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pAjonjlB7

"That you're hungry," said Seungri, looking at his cards in his hands. "I'm also hungry."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiWZ2IESdp

"But we can't go out and order lunch," said Mike. "I feel Yang Hyun-suk's eyes are everywhere now apart from here."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDP9aASTSa

"Maybe we can just order1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfew65AnWJC
a pizza and tell the receptionist to come here without raising any 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdCpdZHSqy
suspicion to Yang Hyun-suk," said Daniel.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk9912mDVZ

"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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq2p7XlRoB

"Hey, guys," said Lee carrying three boxes of pizza in her hands.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunwyloDCGA

"Finally, food!" Christine exclaimed as she got up from the floor and ran over to Lee to help with the boxes.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCga9dJHop

"I heard that Zoey and 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBKqGyF23a
G-Dragon had left," said Lee. "Yang Hyun-suk told me and he is watching 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwGAu4kyRe
out of his office window for them like a hawk."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGk6ZHAEUE

"I knew it," said Mike. "I knew he was watching."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHoNBQdovy

"Then it's a good thing 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiFnOZre1j
Sam texted me a while ago," said Lee. "I had to find a way to sneak in 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ86PGXGQy0
the pizza. That's why I took forever to get here."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshMCPt9QDV

Daniel came over to hug me. "Thanks, sis. I don't know what we would have done without you. I was starving."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXVpr8oMZJ

"Ya, I know," I said. "We better eat quickly before the managers get here."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9R51ynLjZ

Everyone soon dropped 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkd8tXZO0C
their cards and went over to the table started to dig in as soon as one 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf8qYS9Ex7
of the pizza boxes was laid on the table and Lee opened it.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ya2G0G0Jb

I had never eaten pizza 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaT6V6HDio
so fast and it had never tasted so good in my mouth. Maybe it's because 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPj4hV3N7R
despite all the anger bottled up inside me, I was as hungry as hell.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPHXBKq18y

We were done finishing 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGFjjEmJox
the second box of pizza when Lee asked, "I heard G-Dragon changed the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1KYafmE3u
instrumental for the song, is that true?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScgzwGcIJd

"Well, ya," I said with my mouth full of pizza. The pizza was so good.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAiqy19nCx

"He changed it for real?" Lee sounded surprised. "But Yang Hyun-suk said you haven't heard it yet."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLar2hHufS

We were huddled up on 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybq0YQVSO3
the floor around the table eating our pizza and we had soon stopped 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8gHkxdpM3
eating and looked at Lee who was seated on the couch.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQGkNyghCk

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lee asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFORviORdz3

"We actually lied," said Taeyang.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFK8a01XN8

"You lied? About what?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai1e0iAU8t

"I told the manager that we hadn't heard the instrumental," I said.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevu7E7vAaF

"But why?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN4pyAsX1V

"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."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW8rW7PPTl

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?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5uwlPwMyh

I didn't expect Lee to 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSXkWekmLa
say that in front of everyone. I felt time I had stood still and all 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcROucloWIP
eyes were on me now. I looked away without saying a word.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmtyTvKIqO

"What does she mean by that, Sam?" Daesung asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZBD6N5P5h

"Please, tell us," said Christine. "What is it with you and GD? Are you two still fighting?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMeReLvEE6

I sighed as looked up at the ceiling still without saying a word. I didn't know how I was going to tell them.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AdyGw9sq9

"I thought that argument ended a long time ago," said Daniel. "Or did something else happen?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYuYev4euP

I stood up from the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1omUCLwYLO
floor and walked over to the window. The day was so bright and warm but 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6IgKzKv3X
yet I felt so cold and gloomy. I knew this day would come sooner or 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMR3gMRjyw
later.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1bjqxdkgc

Trying to find the right1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lATt9378X
words to say was a lot harder than I thought. What was I going to say? 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYvatP8vbI
To me, all this was confusing. I knew GD was still mad at me, but for 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa10RV33ra0
what for, was the question in mind.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL6K2b7XRq

"Aren't you going to 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpomODBosD
tell us?" Mike asked as I realised that he was standing next to me. "Is 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDoiozk7iT
he still mad about who had to write the lyrics for the song?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VBVKaCCTm

"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."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCvBz6iAqH

"Please, tell us what's going on?" Taeyang asked. "Lee, do you know something?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0R59pizLl

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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRJTKaUFp3

Lee went on to look at 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1qav6T5vA
Taeyang and shook her head. "I've no clue. I didn't mean to say that. I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUhoLRuCSk
just thought they might be arguing again."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6whmxxqTS

"And it looks like it too," said Daniel, giving me an eye.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd1zhQB8Ov

"Aren't you going to say anything, Sam?" Seungri asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjWJNPKhl3

"I don't even know what 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdep85tXbVx
to say to you at this point," I said, turning back to face the window 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgTpCsBEqJ
and I saw G-Dragon's car pull into the premises. Mike also saw it too.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaWqAYIbcE

"They are here," Mike announced to the others.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pgIsQHghI

No one said a word. The room had too much tension already, it was best not to say a word.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqA0lkpANU

"I better call Yang Hyun-suk," said Lee.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPpQroKm1M

"No, not yet," I said, before Lee could stand up from the couch. "Wait until Zoey and G-Dragon get in here."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg4bHqNt6D

Lee just nodded her head and I went back to looking through the window down at the car park.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBGQyX7YkJ

It only took five 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqii6EOGFY
minutes for Zoey and G-Dragon to get to the studio. They came in talking1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOezst38XDd
and laughing. Well, that happiness was going to end soon. Not when you 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6OfaOCh6Z
see your group members are all upset and gloomy.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNpz23Vbve

"Hey, guys!" Zoey said cheerfully as she came in with G-Dragon behind her.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiJ3HPPq0f

When no one said anything back, Zoey's mood also changed. "What's with the long faces?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon3j8m8Zk8

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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl5bDrQrZh

"You can call Yang Hyun-suk for us," I said.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm5tIBm5a9

"Okay." Lee got up from the couch and bypassed Zoey and G-Dragon going through the door.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyATyHIaTqM

"Aren't you going to say what's wrong with you guys?" G-Dragon asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudDBp0dvQ8

"Where were you?" I asked as I slowly started to approach them.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClGMoI3N6I

"We went out," Zoey answered. "Are we in trouble with Yang Hyun-suk?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY4hRpnxAV

"Not just with him but also with me, a lot of us too," I said motioning to the other group members in the room.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PbKUNYgpB

"What? Are you mad we left without telling you?" G-Dragon asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tdGETD3tI

"No." I now turned to look at G-Dragon. "It's about the instrumental. You changed absolutely everything."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHrhKs5FC9

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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XrqZ5zriz

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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ060ANxL3FK

"Why did you this?" I asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5bttjz4wv

"I didn't like the first one you made," he said, clearly with no emotion in his voice.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mNBEMWLoD

"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."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfNOKCGtbR

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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdLUfUjNxg

"The instrumental is in 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwed6QN4nv
there," I said as I slowly looked up at G-Dragon. "When Yang Hyun-suk 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3kgSldCNp
came to hear it, I told him that we ourselves haven't heard it. I did 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadW2xyHXKi
this so I can get the explanation out of you. But we're running out of 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYtYIXxclh
time and he will be here any moment. It's up to you to give it to him 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IsW4We0lM
and let him hear it for himself. But let me remind you, he is already 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTRz5Qzsfw
pissed."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR95kfI0qbf

"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."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYhDHirPTn

"We don't have time, Tae," I turned to look at him.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySKpjxSiVE

"What is going on?" Zoey asked. "Are you and GD still not on good terms?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkb5YUwdOs

I looked at Zoey and she1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09Keq0I1vd
was as confused as ever. How I wish I could tell everyone but I didn't 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5ZRmufg1m
know where I stand with G-Dragon. I still couldn't tell why and what he 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6Kmc3f31L
was mad at me for.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpx0VnUpO0

"Now is not the right 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcquDVA4lD1
time," I said as I went over to the couch and sat down. All eyes were on1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7cNpx3cKj
me now and I knew everyone was confused, but later on, they would 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGFYMhNKNK
understand.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3jiZt4Icb

Yang Hyun-suk, Collins 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTJ30sj8l8
and Lee came in seconds later. I could tell a lot of people felt 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbDFIBHorP
uncomfortable when they came in. I didn't. I just wanted to see whether 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ARJLnhi2V
G-Dragon would give away the USB drive or not.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo4a1O1ln1

"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."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfN6kbNcxk

I almost smirked but kept my cool when Zoey said, "yes, we did."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhWUacMkHW

"But did you manage to order lunch for your friends too?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWAwx2zGMO

Zoey and G-Dragon paused. They obviously weren't expecting that. I had to step in and say something.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaLz6r8gQn

"They did. They brought us pizza," I pointed at the three boxes of pizza on the table. We had only finished two boxes.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡordSeOX6LI

"You guys were pretty hungry, weren't you?" Collins asked, looking surprised that two boxes were already empty.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2gZ6nkvAX

"Ya, we were," said Mike as he opened the other box of pizza and the rest of us still eating dug in.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mOPqfZ9Tl

"So," Yang Hyun-suk looked away from us facing Zoey and G-Dragon. "Did you change anything with the instrumental or what?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3uOPnsdlb

I paused with my mouth 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWQbRPsnsu
open ready to bite another piece out of my slice. I looked on at what 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IY3bxfyxt
was happening in front of me. I just hoped G-Dragon wasn't going to give1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rkUCEhJcV
Yang Hyun-suk the USB drive.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjjSRiA1jH

I looked at G-Dragon and1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT38C5k8mmB
noticed that he still had the USB enclosed in his hand. I looked at his1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXmuiEIxAq
face wondering what he was thinking.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa48ZlbEsfj

"Do you think he will give away the USB?" Seungri asked as he whispered in my ear.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGwPOMrR6i

"Hopefully not," I whispered back. I even had my fingers crossed.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ23PD6gUVU

"No, we didn't change anything," said G-Dragon.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBAySBzonu

I smiled and Seungri 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFkMp1O5s4
held his breath and let out a sigh of relief. The rest of us on the 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphsvZuZdk2
couch seemed to have relaxed. Luckily, the managers hadn't read our body1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev0PzsZLGa
language. They didn't even look at us. But Lee did.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJyz31HFaK

"Thank goodness," said Yang Hyun-suk. "I thought you did. I'm glad you didn't."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGV2mPf8ip

I smiled a little more. 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq15nBKnwyN
G-Dragon did the right thing which I knew he would do. But the problem 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERU5T9NuPQ
was far from over though. Now that our group members knew that he and I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVTCVBzXzB
were at war again.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRZUaE5Uvv

"But we can't start 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbXfGWDysq
recording the track now," said Collins. "It's a little late so they 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JwoXXEAdQ
would have to do it the day after tomorrow."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Cteqbjdy7

I sat upright and alert.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7dz0IZy2m
"The day after tomorrow? What are we doing tomorrow that we possibly 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKprjdXFxF7
have to record the track the day after?"1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnxUoj2UUe

"Well, Sam," said Yang Hyun-suk turned to look at me. "The Toxins are going to have a TV interview tomorrow."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03rjArqQKl

"An interview?" Christine was the one who looked more surprised.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOMCIqKlpE

"But why didn't you tell1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZZDe7vL71
us earlier?" I asked as I looked at Collins who smiled back at me. It 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuZr88QVBf
was then that it hit me and things became clear.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hg5Fh1XC1

"Is that the surprise you were talking about yesterday?" I asked.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4eusS9jFe

"Yep," said Collins as he grinned.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLzYC4epSF

"This is one heck of a surprise, alright," said Zoey folding her arms.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgNevrpadr

"Well, played," I muttered to myself as I looked away.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqURjZisUa

"So, before the day ends, we better go get ready," said Collins. "You will also have to perform during the interview too."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhD1okUz9N

"This just keeps on getting better," said Daniel, rolling his eyes.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg78LQD0Eu

"What are we waiting for? Let's go," said Collins. "We don't have enough time in our hands."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT8x3hPUhW

"You should have told us earlier, you know?" Mike said, as we the Toxins stood up to leave.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTxoe7uh1P

"Then you should have thought twice before you all decided to leave for Paris."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzWywRXznG

It was then that the other Toxins realised that all this was payback. I wasn't surprised. I already knew.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqub7SBmlD7

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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsvMRmZzbl

I turned to look at him 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A0QQoAxkl
and he had stood up from the couch, looking straight at me. I blushed 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0jVCW43k2
and looked down at my feet. He always made me nervous when he looked at 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gEtlfhr0j
me like that.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoXanKFRGx

"We might have gotten away from our managers' fury today," said TOP. "But you and GD have a lot of explaining to do."1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlGmxUrbsk

"I know," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon, who quickly looked away.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc0H4VeNvi

"Ya, a lot," said Daesung as he nodded his head. I could see he was trying to ignore that TOP was holding my hand.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKmmvxf3SS

"And don't try to come up with any excuses," said Taeyang.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTEQUdfHxN

"Don't worry, I won't," I promised. I just hoped G-Dragon wouldn't.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2q0a1Zo8R

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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQsRilhpQK

We looked at each other 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjtDE5QTNL
for a while and I didn't know what I felt for him anymore. Maybe I was a1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu9KgDOpRa
little hurt, but I was also so confused. I don't know. I couldn't tell.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiJ5zOqJg6
Maybe he also felt the same.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRVnNNsPYC

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.1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgFA5uoOf7

I then realised that I 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhK9aNcl2k
had completely forgot to ask G-Dragon and TOP about the necklace Zoey 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWwTxwcCPD
bought for me from Paris. I guess that issue will have to come up 1118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9bdnXRaVs
another time.
