"Come on, Sam, please don't do this to us," Mike pleaded.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjyax9G0Yi
"Ya, we're your brothers and we're really worried about you," said Daniel.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxEiDncO2B
"Sorry, guys, I'm still not going to tell you," I said. "Well, not now at least."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5LcoIiN9Y
"You've never been this stubborn in your entire life," said Mike. "What's wrong with you?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTCsyh7mDz
I shrugged. "Well, I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjliXOkQzRq
guess it's because I don't know what to tell you. I've no idea what to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLYlbfbIHw
say. And I have no idea where I stand anymore."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaT2ewcXK4
I continued to look at 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFKHpokZDg
my sad face in the mirror as I sat on the chair. My two brothers stood 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeYcLjNH55
at either side of me, staring back at my reflection. I looked at them 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PMyjYPqJZ
through the mirror and I could tell that they were feeling down and low.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9698kTsO3Q
I hated that I had to put everyone in this situation, especially Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQK6oiXJxL
Yesterday passed on 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRakLx9FwP
quite slow since everyone now knew that G-Dragon and I still weren't on 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdCpOwNwbF
good terms with each other. And when we had to prepare ourselves for 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA82ASHVbca
the interview, we had to act like nothing was wrong or else Collins 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFwC4kfuAF
would be up to our necks if he noticed. The rehearsals went on just 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZro8Xzv2x7
fine, but afterwards, my group members never stopped bugging me about 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtmpEhWm0h
the whole thing till evening, and I had still not said a word.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSqL7cCWXz
"Come on, guys," said 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop0nSucSte
Zoey who sat directly behind me, facing another mirror and a makeup 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbiWEJGZEg
stylist was attending to her. "Last night, I tried my best to make her 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9MhBMGsAE
talk before we even went to bed. But she wouldn't budge. I even 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNkJupv6Od
threatened to rip Mr Panda's head off, but she saved the panda before I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmID3UJNKz
could even start the execution."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpczxzvCpJi
That was true. Last 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUeMY9s5e8
night didn't end well for both Zoey and I in our room. I was pretty 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UhFhItBeQ
lucky that I even saved the panda before she could rip it's head off. 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NgNht0hgU
And we ended up going to bed without even saying goodnight to each 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1LhZF3W22
other.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF52uX7zEu0
"I know you're all dying1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrNc35NY2W
to know," I said as I turned to look at Zoey's back. "But believe me 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT9wprr3hq
when I say that I don't know what to tell you."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6xA4C0FZU
"You've been saying that1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo7SRRNcex
since yesterday," said Christine who sat in front of the mirror beside 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh23VgpSnR
mine, her hair was being curled by one of the hair stylists. "We're 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvAYbI04me
tired of that, you know?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNLTwMDsYB
"Then it's best you guys stop bugging me about it until we meet with the others after the interview."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLesPyD9CP
"I agree," said Daniel. "I hope you and GD clear everything up."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X4En3fNe2
"I even tried to talk 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXTC1JIvyN
about it with G-Dragon yesterday," said Zoey as the stylist put her on 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmm0KN9UYZ
some eyeliner. "But he never texted me back nor picked up his phone to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYJeoROKsS
talk. He just went cold on me."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiFv8IFwU2
That was GD, alright.I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA0dWYPo47
kept that to myself. Saying it out loud will just create a big mess in 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQIRwGnRni
the dressing room and I wouldn't be able to cool Zoey down.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJje39PIvp
"I bet he didn't expect it," said Mike. "I think it's better for him not to talk to anyone."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQPp2LYLgP
"True," said Christine.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiECPNtpkb
"I just hope he is okay," said Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3ifZ2Mx51
I rolled my eyes. Of 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZWBUexF16
course he was okay. That's if he wasn't drinking his life away. Maybe I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELwW3rmXiQ
should warn Zoey. But she already knows about his habit, does she? I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgCgY96WJd
hope so.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN0uXXYkSv
We dropped the topic 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc1wPYdmGz
about G-Dragon. Our minds went on to what's going to happen during the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEt8pJZYlN
interview. I was pretty nervous about it since it was our first TV 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepAlR7aPWM
interview together as a group ever since we came here to Korea.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FwBJCpYtd
It was five minutes 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvF8s1upSN
tillthe interview and Collins came in to check on us. And he came with 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pQS8IUofw
the one person I wasn't expecting to see for the rest of the day. Yang 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnXFF99F0e
Hyun-suk.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoeSdf5rX8
I looked down 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sSFvdNMSS
pretendingnot to have seen the two managers enter the room. I saw them 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNRisR8qi7
through the mirror and luckily I was being applied a little bit of blush1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYGnUoqWMc
by the makeup artist.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vLVjWFwls
"You're all looking glorious today," said Yang Hyun-suk.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQImK5TMPxO
He fully got our attention now. We all turned to look at him and muttered 'thank you'.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHedDDFizP
"You have to get ready," said Collins. "You will be on any minute now."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0zgPVS9dQ
"Don't worry, we have been prepared for this our whole lives," said Zoey. "We won't let you down."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzwaFTmHDA
"I sure hope so," said Collins. "I'm warning you, Zoey. Don't say anything stupid."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FoudWGF0K
"Does that mean I can't joke around, then?" Zoey shrugged.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIQNjWz7Gq
"You can," said Yang Hyun-suk. "But not about him." He pointed to Collins.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ823HybCb7J
"That, I agree," said Christine.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoVnCtcuLI
I smiled when I looked at Collins, giving a face to Yang Hyun-suk.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN4NHeodSa
It was now time for the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WfPvKUeN6
interview and when we went to face the audience on set, we were 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozCp3IWDGg
welcomedwith a round of applause. And the TV interviewer welcomed us so 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY9nEpqJWU
kindly too.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7RgSpfPpK
The interview went on 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPF1Gc99vD
perfectly. We had so much fun talking about our lives and we were asked 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSkwhSSaiS
questions from the audience that weren't so complicated. We were having a1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1DH418GL3
good time, especially with Zoey blabbering on and making the others 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbChb5aF0cf
laugh.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdun0klEI5
We were then asked 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN1CNOGErK
personal questions about our dating life. That was one topic I never 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH18FahgSMm
liked talking about. But I had to put up a face for the sake of the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdqngz7off
audience and the fans watching on TV.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lZxXlhEuZ
As usual, the questions 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoHAwCiyXu
were mostly directed at me. As usual, I told the audience that I wasn't 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdkEcbg3QO
ready to date yet and that the right one would come when I least 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rjQYJ285Y
expected it. And then the question I hadn't thought of in a while, 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0hzwQIDc1
raised to the surface.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G6EIhCtf7
"So, what about you and G-Dragon?" the interviewer asked. "Don't you think you two were meant to be together?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDd4ix2mS5
There was a 'whooo' 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mkPcPiXVB
thatcame from the audience. I should have prepared myself for this. But I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2GMw5JEFu
was dumbstruck as I looked at the interviewer who couldn't stop smiling1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyZ0mkrtj0
at me, waiting for my answer. He had a very mischievous smile.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88vusNNOgs
"I..eh," I hesitated. I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkmZvTNIVr
probably looked dumb in front of the audience if not the whole world. I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOl9dV08jQ
twirled my curly hair and didn't know what to say next.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwIqfNERin
"No, way," said Zoey 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu5195nsPf
whosat beside me. "G-Dragon and Sam can never date. Besides, it's not 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNgvlcuM1c
like they would date given that we aren't going to say here for long."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoEkJmZ3Es
I looked over at Zoey 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpko0WCbac
and I could tell that she was offended by the question, now that she and1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4GfW8Y2Qg
GD have some romance between them.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv1GGAx592
"Long distance 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNl3St1k9b
relationships do work out sometimes," said the interviewer. "And a lot 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6ScIywyUM
of us would like to hear what BK has to say about it."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFXlzElbx4
I gulped and found it pretty hard to speak. Everyone was expecting an answer from me and I didn't know what to say.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAblsIyHx8
"GD and I are just good friends," I said. "I don't think of us dating."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekKOA3dL5c
"But what of those dating rumours that were going around?" the interviewer asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWupyUPBKJ
"We cleared all that in 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXg3tnJ0Sb
our last interview with the media at YG," I said. "It's not like the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwU1rI4ymj
twoof us ever went out on a date. People like to make up stories. And 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzcxTe8OFq
ever since that video got aired on YouTube, that's when all the dating 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9lyfmLgHi
rumours started."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6ggXRmPxQ
"Which was Zoey's fault, by the way," said Mike who sat on my other side.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaqBQCgjNz
"You don't have to remind me, thank you very much," Zoey looked at Mike as though she was about to bite him. Mike smirked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm5SAlZio1
"But not only did the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuVlQOcGG4
video send stories flying," said the interviewer. "When you were done 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzJjPx7jZm
with your interview, G-Dragon saved you from falling and that still 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrwh3sTvcK
sparked more rumours."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsia1Cakntd
"I don't see why people 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBcnpopCPa
continued with the rumours, to be honest," I said. "He just prevented 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr4VKhQYHn
mefrom falling. It's not like the two of us were ballroom dancing or 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU8MyeA3Rc
anything."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRy3eBBmnp
"Don't you like GD?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrfZIZHpvM
That was one question I wasn't sure of answering myself. And I had to be careful with what I was going to say.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZfGJuwjWQ
"I like G-Dragon, but only as a friend," I said. "A good friend."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4ADpJplkr
Saying that made me 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKkNsQhq4t
feela little guilty. G-Dragon and I still weren't on good terms. If I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRfPKiMK3Z
had achance to set things right, I would. But right now, I felt my 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG533Nwtql
relationship with him was going nowhere.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsep3sCSyVO
"So, you don't like like G-Dragon?" the interviewer asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJcGiOhsiB
"No, not in that way, no," I said, shaking my head.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEfOLtggLj
"Well, I think the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjSpagUpMw
audience and the rest of the world will agree with me that you two make 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOrjfzkqks
areally cute couple," said the interviewer.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEP99WLKA6
I blushed. That's what 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexKDSinqqg
everyone was saying on social media nowadays. The audience gave out 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP7dGjIW6E
murmurs of approval. I felt Zoey shift a little uncomfortably. This was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQU5YZRD2O
awkward for me more than it was for her. I wanted to say sorry, but I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIZUW7pM2n
kept it to myself.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxNWlLgfaH
"I agree with you," said Daniel. "They just look so cute together."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQzXutXSYy
"I also agree," said 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1cvOuaOXl
Christine as she giggled. "To be honest, I really thought the two would 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS8qoiAtJB
date, but sadly, she doesn't feel that way for him."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJp72y1r3F
I looked at both 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyosW3vd7GC
Christine and Daniel and I couldn't tell if they were joking around 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0QskTKwIR
withme or not. Maybe they were doing this just to intimidate me because 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYqP9Xv0NL
of G-Dragon and I. But they were also upsetting Zoey too. Christine knew1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtnqdg9y9d
better.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbnHXmfUe0
"Yes, too bad indeed," said the interviewer. "So, moving on...."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw26FG4w8Iq
The interviewer soon 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl69C5QD3TX
started to talk about the other BigBang members and we talked about how 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ5UWenX5m
great it was to collaborate with them. That cooled things down a little.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wytef3HWu
As the interview was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUJ9qj6sc2
coming to an end, we performed one of our hit songs in front of the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLilLX1ATAi
audience. After a round of applause, the TV interview was over.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6vd4EzClb
I had to admit, it was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OtqQyIJfv
pretty awesome and we had so much fun. At the end of the interview, we 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnfo0qZ9H9
took a few pictures with some people from the audience and even with the1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94EkPhYwDh
interviewer.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxrhB0CWSY
It was soon time to leave the TV studio, but we were all back in the dressing room busy chattering about the interview.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOngGJSGZvw
"I had fun today," said Mike.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F9gjQKAze
"I hear we will be having more interviews like this one," said Christine.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lWnwHwxFW
"That will be great," said Zoey as she had her phone in her hand.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9bCnxWWIR
"Trying to call, G-Dragon?" I asked as I came to stand beside her.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtQOqaDM3k
"Ya, I left him a message before the interview and he hasn't replied."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDZmFH8SCP
"Try calling him again," said Mike.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7ytmZAZ3Q
"Better not call him now," said Daniel. "I bet he still isn't going to answer."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAjngFU5pd
Zoey sneered at Daniel. "You should shut up for once. You have already made me upset because of what you said in the interview."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTGdBTnfu7
"What did I say?" Daniel looked confused as he turned to look at me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Q9feGCMT
"Don't mind her," I said as I held my brother's shoulder and Zoey went to the other side of the room to call G-Dragon.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y87nLRMGw
Christine smirked and I knew that what she said during the interview was just to get on Zoey's nerves.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFADrmurwz
"Still no answer," Zoey said as she came back to join us. "Now I'm getting worried."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRksCOO5cj
"I hope nothing serious has happened to him," said Daniel.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkzkTmVDv2
"Well, we have to leave and meet with the others soon," I said. "At YG."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80hejQFCOk
"We're meeting there? Why?" Zoey asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqqpqX6vWP
"Tae and the others think it's a good place to meet there. We can't go anywhere else."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM13Wwd2npj
"Okay. I hope GD shows up," said Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbIrWUDhyg
"Ya, me too." I rubbed my neck, hoping that GD was okay.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4oJa1B97Z
Lee came in the dressing room and announced that we can leave.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzUmh9lyzw
"I told the managers that we will need to use the car so they left together," said Lee.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUUGUdHARi
"Thanks, Lee. We better go."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWpFMracnX
We left the TV studio 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBYDkah0bk
and while we were in the car, Zoey continued to call G-Dragon, but to no1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrOC2f6fYt
avail. I decided to call Taeyang instead.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQyXxp1sCx
"Hello? Sam?" Taeyang answered.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzVNGuV3FU
"Hey, Tae, how are you?" I asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA90pKjVR1
"I'm okay. I saw your live interview."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYAUK8E0Z4
"Ya, em, that's not why I called. Have you by any chance checked up on GD to see if he is coming?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM5Ywwk9dE
"I tried reaching him a few times this morning, but nothing. Is something the matter?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNivtAoCHM
"Well, ya. Zoey has been trying to reach him since yesterday, but he hasn't called or texted back."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNaecWAsX4
"Let me see if I can call his apartment to see if he is okay," said Taeyang.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaxW7tVOMs
"Okay, are you already at YG?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1AlAr58b6
"Yes, I'm here with Seungri."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRRzDJmVWE
"Okay, we will be right there."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE55aOVYa2j
I cut the line and turned to Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7ZNe4C0yI
"Taeyang has no news either," I said.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc1Wev5Srh
"His phone keeps ringing but he isn't answering," said Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUfDmMkgxt
"Why don't you try and call him, Sam?" Lee asked as she turned to look at me from the front passenger's seat.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuZKK8x8l4
I went blank. Why was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrRRJ2WB6T
Lee asking me to call G-Dragon? Zoey was already freaking out like the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH3zLFRV1r
rest of us that he wasn't answering her calls. Did Lee think G-Dragon 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHVUYfEpi6
would respond if I tried to call him?1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N2b5Av4Vp
"Why?" I asked. "I bet he won't answer me as well."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl5ybNxAXL
"Can you at least try?" Lee asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xQHKhvVGf
"There is no harm in trying," said Daniel. "Who knows, he might just answer."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwZpnWGRpp
I looked down at my phone in my hand like it was some creature ready to bite my nose off at any moment. I hesitated.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8GJVvvDqO
What would everyone 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwe0qa54oB
think if G-Dragon really did answer my call? I would be toast, 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGfRg0Nxjx
especially with Zoey. The two were like a couple now and it wouldn't 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEDpuM4FoY
feel right. What the heck, it wouldn't 'be' right at all. What was I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG0yo9HrHw
going to do?1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rGwjgnuft
"What are you waiting for?" Mike asked, snapping me back to reality. "Do it."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayx0xSBEHL
Everyone's eyes were on 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74BRvghp0V
me now. And I knew they weren't going to let go of me that easily. I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAUK0lB99m
stared at Zoey to see what she thought.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHnZahDy45
"Go on, Sam," said Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaUakF5kuY
I gulped and tucked a lock of my hair behind my ear. I unlocked my phone, went to my contacts and called G-Dragon.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vD6g6CQzh
I put the phone to my 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n1qT8X1le
ear and his phone was ringing. I closed my eyes hoping he wouldn't 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX9cQT66ry
answer. The car had just entered the YG premises. The phone was still 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ384XW3FmAX
ringing.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ8DB5Q1wi
"Looks like he isn't answering," I said, when the car stopped. My phone still to my ear.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEKaPW3xBs
"Just hold on for a few seconds," said Lee as she got out of the car.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrHGuIHH6C
The rest also got out and I was left alone. There was no hope left. I knew he wasn't going to answer.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIiNLSaKTV
Just when I thought the line would go dead, I heard a clicking sound and I felt my heart stop.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cUWTikWOy
"Hello, Sam?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjTlXcykkY
I was startled. He 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSBlGxPUNg
answered. Oh, no. This was what I had feared. My jaw dropped and no 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXYUJhrL75
wordcould come out of my mouth. All this felt like a surprise.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi4s8Yf2lj
"Sam, are you there?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNq84NUSDz
Thank goodness he was okay. He did sound a bit strange though. Must be that he was drunk or he wasn't feeling too well.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi68C0c20om
"I know you're there, Sam. Are you worried about me?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wFuoJ3dvj
"I...mm...I," I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlORwEhodL
hesitated. What was I supposed to say? That yes, I was worried or snap 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY5JAwS0PY
out of your drunken state and get your butt over here?1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNiXytRz2o
"Has he answered?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7o83gZlFk
I jumped on my seat and cut the line. Lee was standing by the door of the car looking at me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ3eyQO9fF
"Where are the others?" I asked as I looked outside the car.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75MVEsGJkm
"They went inside," said Lee. "We better go."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImPoZSp7YH
I nodded my head. By the1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik9V4MDTnK
time I was stepping out of the car, my legs were shaking. And the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uh8wMmgOe
colour on face seem to have faded away because I felt really pale.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNqlNLL7YP
"So, did you talk to him?" Lee asked again.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5oAm4OKfI
"I...I..eh."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WMg2s8Nlb
"He answered, didn't he?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwzKmpf1k7
I looked at Lee and I knew I couldn't lie to her. "Yes," I answered.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL20KvlSaoI
Lee's mouth dropped and she looked at me with so much shock.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0TYzN5Ey1
"I knew it!"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5Bw4L4B8X
"Shut up, will you? You're going to attract too much attention. Let's go. And don't say a word to anyone."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9tHysnu2y
Lee put her index finger1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fkMho9SdP
on her lips and the two of us went inside. The others had already gone 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEUby9koD7
upstairs. Lee and I went to join them in the studio.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE3DLExLSC
"Hey, guys," I said when I came in with Lee.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0SjMvjcL7
"My little panda," said Seungri as he came to hug me. "You looked so beautiful during the interview."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE9xZr9JL3
"Thanks," I said as I blushed and Seungri took me by the hand and took me further into the room.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0bGOsLJnx
"You guys were just awesome," said Taeyang as he and I both hugged.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09XhbvlJ5I
"Thanks. Any news of GD yet?" I asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYlMfh0TU4
"I tried calling his apartment," said Taeyang. "But nothing."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrZ0KqXlzn
"Did he answer when you called him?" Zoey asked me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI8I5BMzlK
"No, he didn't," I answered.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY8rDyHtMc
I should be given the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE0YxQVmoW
Best Liar Award because Zoey and everyone else believed me for some 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOIO7y2anj
reason. I looked at Lee and all she could do was nod her head a little 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcDGLypih0
to assure me that it was okay that I had lied.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Myo12KRcm
"Maybe it's best we go and check up on him ourselves," said Seungri.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP65NEakhD
"That's a good idea," said Mike.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVvkHYaXwI
"Maybe we should wait and see if he shows up?" I suggested.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaeR2Ugcw5
"No, I'm getting really worried," said Zoey. "It's best we go."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYthIQSm3YM
"I'll go. Who's coming with me?" Taeyang asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4Y4p9stOa
"I'm coming with you," said Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAbORIhKd7
"Me too," said Christine.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu5rknOVoy
"Won't you go along, Sam?" Mike asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5CQWCWDi7
"No, it's best I stay here," I said.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCflGgbwb9G
"Okay," said Taeyang. "Come on, let's go."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYJYUHCOcv
Taeyang, Zoey and 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPxw1ZAcTm
Christine left the studio. I went over to the couch to sit. I felt it 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfgut4agyy
was a good thing not to go. He was already upset with me. But I was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO4OGasffR
still surprised he had answered my call.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4L5F9Ylaa
"Why didn't you go with them, Sam?" Mike asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdRQaQy1Cc
"Why should I go?" I asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDFdlZjyFK
"Because everyone listens to you," said Seungri as he came to sit beside me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGjDmivqpP
"I wonder why he didn't answer your call, though," said Daniel.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YZkvs7j5c
"Maybe it's because he is ignoring all of us," I answered, as I looked at my fingernails.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSBuw1xWzC
"I don't think so," said Mike. "One thing I can guarantee for sure, he would listen to you no matter what."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhqaB5jH1F
"Listen to me? For he and I not to be on good terms, he doesn't."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvbHm84ee2
Lee was still standing in front of me and said, "call him again, Sam."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgbFiz5uO7
I looked at Lee as though she had read out my death sentence.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbS8tj5idZ
"Are you kidding me? I just told everyone that he didn't answer," I said.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBZO6wgJCu
"Come on, Sam, the others aren't here," said Lee. "Especially Zoey."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzfyizS4SS
"Wait, what's going on?" Seungri asked as he looked at me and then at Lee.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1939gkgaE
"G-Dragon answered Sam's call," said Lee.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6P8cJs1uY
"For real?" Mike and Daniel asked at the same time.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6t2dKjYOi
"Yes," I answered.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC50wtiHGd
"But why didn't you say anything when the others were here?" Seungri asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVuDiUpcnz
"Zoey," again, Mike and Daniel answered at the same time.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsrV1pjtM2
"What does this have to do with Zoey?" Seungri looked even more confused.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNP2WbzqyY
"Zoey likes G-Dragon," said Mike.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA92UDuqIj
"And those two now seem like a couple," said Daniel.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs0paL1XJG
"If Zoey knew that G-Dragon answered Sam's call...."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXykvqjo92
".....she would be jealous and throw a tantrum," Daniel finished. The two high-fived each other.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjtAPpIdQp
I was wide-eyed by my brother's enthusiasm with all this. Looks like they already knew about G-Dragon and Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSiGqsUia6
"I'm not going to ask how you know," I said as I folded my arms.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkyuG0ZQWX
"We figure things out easily," said Mike with a smirk.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8Oc3V9VAF
"Looks like it runs in the family," said Lee as she raised an eyebrow at me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPYDu2dhR3
"I knew there was a reason you delayed to get out of the car," said Daniel.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6odmLOO3S
"At least you didn't tell Zoey," said Mike.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2aQNQ5p3t
"Wait, I'm so confused 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM2384O33J
here," said Seungri, blinking his eyes as though trying to see if all of1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkelTRJXSv
this was a dream. "Zoey likes G-Dragon. And the two are now like a 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3eAOy7YKZ
couple but without the whole world knowing. And G-Dragon only answered 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJp4o7BIbr
to Sam and not to Zoey and that might upset her because....."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhW1ViIWbn
"G-Dragon likes Sam," finished Lee. She quickly covered her mouth after blurting that out.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VAahvCg0v
I turned to look at Lee with a frown. "Seriously? You can't possibly be too sure about that."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT79qMiNMco
"It kind of looks like he does, Sam," said Daniel. "It's not that hard to notice."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gCYMNFAqp
"Well, I didn't notice," said Seungri.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91u7j7yqc1
"Let's just skip this 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYesA5ooBZ
topic and wait for the others to get here," I said. "By the way, aren't 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesjhpHbaH9
Daesung and TOP supposed to be here?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP1I99pRV2
"They would be here in a few minutes," said Seungri.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4sepOPQ4f
"Should we tell them about all this?" Daniel asked looking at me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnIFSv3yIJ
"I don't know," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I really don't care if you tell them or not. That's if they don't tell Zoey."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w949DB7j2
"I'm just worried about Zoey," said Lee. "Should we tell her?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kIb129DXQ
"Are you kidding me? That's one thing we shouldn't do," said Seungri. "Who knows what she would do."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsGWTuDpCj
"But keeping it from her will just make things worse, especially when she finds out later on," I said.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIfDUo3nQt
"Just think, Sam," said Mike. "Will it be right to tell her today?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwjVdAdLlH
"No."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsENH8DQeC
"Exactly. Zoey will feel hurt that G-Dragon answered you and not her. She will get really jealous."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oyqbjyvKi
Mike did have a point. 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgTGjyLYDC
Telling Zoey was going to be like suicide. She was going to be hurt and 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLnwfMkiaG
we first had to clear things up with GD and I.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMocTUj8EAD
"You're right," I said. "No one should say anything."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7dciooyAP
"Agreed," said the rest as they nodded their heads.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwhRfvdMQP
We waited for the others1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUqIUWciUj
in the studio. TOP and Daesung came in a few minutes later. We told 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMzbjWa6Pf
them about G-Dragon's recent behaviour. But we didn't tell them about 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NlX20DrJg
the supposed love triangle.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybzMHtF7gj
"These guys are taking 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDy1GJuZvU
forever to get here," I said as I went over to the window to check at 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RberVGwCO
the parking lot. It was now close to three in the afternoon.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa2aown2JT
"I told you to try and call him again," said Lee.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSgSYUbOiK
"It's best we call the others first," Seungri said as he pulled out his phone. "I'll call Taeyang."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau2PUaczLL
"Please do," I said as I sat back down on the couch.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDH68HtjAW
"Don't stress yourself,"said TOP who sat beside me and placed his hand on my shoulder for comfort. "They should be back by now."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinziRHpaQt
"Tae, where are you?" Seungri asked. "We've been worried sick. Did you find GD?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdZnT6Wm0W
We paused for a while as we looked at Seungri, waiting for what's to come.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQCjDWmnlv
"What? He isn't at the apartment?" Seungri asked looking surprised.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdGyr6b6M7
That sent a different atmosphere around the room. I felt my face drain of colour as I started to think of the worst.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoSy4Mriz4
"Tell them to come back," I said to Seungri. I held my forehead. This can't be happening right now.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9sRPBM5eZ
"I told you to call GD,"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0KU5fqNYW
said Lee after Seungri cut the call. "They haven't found him and the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ7rbR4EQs
day will end without us knowing where he is."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueA4KOZFCe
"Don't blame me for this," I said. "This is not entirely my fault."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVq7LBMXqR
"Just call him," said Daesung. "He answered you the first time. He would likely answer again."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWh8L2Jcg7
"Fine," I took out my phone and dialled G-Dragon's number. I put the phone to my ear.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ10orqlYPx
This time, G-Dragon didn't delay to answer like last time. After three rings, he picked up.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTKd9R2hbK
"GD, where are you?" I asked. Everyone's ears perked up to listen.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEL2sDT8MV
"Why?" He sounded normal. Maybe he was sober.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1xGiUbc9a
"We're so worried about you. We need to know where you are."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MluC453pM
"Don't worry about me. And tell the others that I'm fine."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBrKyXfJcT
"Then come here at YG. We're worried sick."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIJwzvz9Zo
"Aren't you more worried about me?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwn9bPIp6L
That question moved me. I was worried. Dead worried. I needed him back here safe and sound. We all did.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIlycQ4hbF
"Yes, I am," I said. "I'm really worried. Why don't you come here and talk."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYeH8UbtaZ
For a moment, he didn't say anything. All I got was the static silence from the phone.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgg98j4jOZ
"Hello? Are you there?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK648Y9tYz
"Ya. I'm here."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNot8Mwftbu
"You will come, right?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mH86Z81xz
"I guess I should."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y2tjYuYvq
"Yes, please do."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j4v6xcFME
"I'll be there in a few minutes."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTk5t6Rc5E
"Okay."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmdBOCjpNq
I cut the line. All this1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkj1yk9tcN
was just heartbreaking. I couldn't help but feel all this was my fault.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnOT53yk2k
He was hurting and even as we talked on the phone, I could tell. I was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSDTlePtUW
still stunned that he was talking to me and calmly too.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoKcWGrRze
"He'll be here," I announced.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BxBtHkWNN
"Thank goodness," said Daniel as he stared up at the ceiling sighing in relief.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwTHLhPmvN
"You should have done this earlier," said Lee. "He clearly listens to you."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYHUpIFTry
I rolled my eyes. There was no need to remind me. He might have listened to me now, but I wouldn't expect him to do so later on.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8yD1EOLKT
Ten minutes later, Taeyang and the others came in the studio.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbkC0ObB5w
"Any news?" Zoey asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh2SdeU6u5
"He will be arriving shortly," said Mike.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIb2WxNrWr
"You talked to him?" Taeyang asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQzasq2bcB
"No, Sam did," TOP answered.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn4AkLmlGt
Zoey, Christine and 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKjQdMi1AS
Taeyang looked at me as though I was an alien. I wanted to slap my face.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Z5KSl2zb
I should have warned the others not to say anything.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6ZfCyXvwj
"You talked to him? Is he okay?" Zoey asked in a rush.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fabl6eALC
"Chill, Zoey," I said as I stood up and walked up to her. "He's fine. He told me he will be arriving soon."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExKGAvV1m4
"That's good news," said Christine.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR8B7raLlL
"Are you sure?" Zoey asked me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCPTmJu267
"Don't worry, I'm sure he is coming. He gave me his word," I said.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNrt4q6KCz
Zoey hugged me and I patted her on the back for comfort. It looks like she cared more about G-Dragon than the rest of us did.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE4KnJgdSy
"I'm just glad you 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5H1iEHGO3
called and he picked up," said Zoey after she broke away from me. "Had 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UHcCsn65u
you been trying to reach him after you called the first time?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4gk5cDRQv
Before I could answer, Mike said, "we tried calling him a few times before he finally picked up."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQGi9usj4B
My heart settled. I thought he would tell her the truth. Looks like he wasn't that silly enough to provoke her right now.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA7vJ98oft
"Did he tell you where he went?" Taeyang asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08AsWayBj9
"No," I replied. "He just told me he was fine and that you all shouldn't worry. I asked him to come here and he agreed."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wFuo6YVFW
"He is going to get a scolding from me," said Zoey, folding her arms.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvTdmf2XRY
"And she is back," I heard Daniel mutter and Mike who sat beside him was snickering.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg031JK0J7
"Just sit down, please," I said trying to calm my best friend. "All that matters is that he is fine and he will be here."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFOcQFswLW
Zoey listened to me and sat down. Taeyang and Christine joined her. Before I could sit down, Lee stood up and walked up to me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DPkzZc79k
"Can we talk?" Lee asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9m1ZVuqVw
"Huh? Why?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZyAEnhce2
"Come on," said Lee, as she held my arm. "I want to talk to you about what happened during the interview. Excuse us, guys."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6iQVIt42K
Lee was still holding on1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZFdqVrT1K
to my arm as we both left the room and we were in the hall. We went 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwcUp66Ym5
into another studio room which was empty, away from the others.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rjJGAJNAj
"Why did you bring me 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0Ci4DPiXw
here?" I asked as I turned to Lee who closed the door behind her. I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG5frugi3j
knewall this wasn't about the interview.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY141ZhzCRV
"It's G-Dragon," Lee answered.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AEQm0ZoNq
She didn't hesitate to say it and she sounded serious. What would she probably want to talk to me about him now?1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyTKKpSh4b
"What's the matter with him?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XoSrKGLOd
"I'm worried about 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVLGWx31mC
what's going to happen when G-Dragon comes here and tells everyone why 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSWyNrpReW
he did this and why he is still mad at you."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCRKe4uw3q
"You're scared he might possibly tell Zoey that he likes me?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYfNG84Rqj
Lee nodded. I sighed andclosed my eyes. I knew she was right and this might just bring in a horrible argument amongst ourselves.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreLvia1Mjv
"And what do you want me to do?" I asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHZ47QbzQI
"Talk to G-Dragon yourself and solve this once and for all."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskOiqqTUM1
"How? Now that everyone knows, they would want to know what's really going on."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgxCjYqRqb
"I have myself to blame 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7U6Y6uDME
for saying all that yesterday. But right now, you guys have a song to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtBQqAcmzD
work on and when things get messy, you know what might happen. And you 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xlvTPgAlC
don't want your managers finding out about this."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvczLSVV9NL
I had to admit that Lee 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyB33UaYHM
was right. But what was I going to do now? I just couldn't tell the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9qyERDEPL
others a lie. I had lied too much already and I wasn't ready to do so 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq40rec1fR3
again.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VqOaVfw95
I looked on at Lee and 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrw9JTVG5B
Icould tell she was feeling bad about telling everyone yesterday that GD1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA3fmG5Ydy
and I weren't on good terms. But I couldn't blame her for it.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYQDOAGbkW
"What I'm I going to do?" I asked as I held my forehead feeling stressed out. "I don't know how I'm going to tell these guys."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBELD2nuhA1
"I don't know," said Lee. "Maybe you should find a way to talk to GD alone."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO1y38lPPP
"You're right," I said. "But he should be here by now."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPSJQXuTZQ
I quickly pushed myself 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjanEgJbIX
past Lee, reached for the door and found myself in the hall. Just as I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BVP7bViX9
was heading towards the elevator, the doors flew open. And as though I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vG3dOnKUb
knew he was coming, G-Dragon stepped out.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLresDX0qcq
I breathed out a sigh of1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vDeVNAacq
relief. He was okay. Thank goodness. He didn't look drunk either or was1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HAMsKtPp8
he? It didn't matter. I caught up with him just in time.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkfuUoo9PT
"There you're," I said as I got closer. "Thank goodness you're okay."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrcoMVtSkV
He didn't say anything 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEWBfg4po4
as he looked at me. His deep dark eyes were trying to find its way to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilFgPDmYJn
mine but I was avoiding them. I didn't want to look him in the eye and 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50zWxY58HP
see how he felt. I didn't want to lose focus with what I was about to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP9ZImE0n2
say.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOILi8nqqos
"You were worried about me," he said, his voice with almost no emotion.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgn2pLmYX3
"Of course I was worried. And everyone else too."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJR74UH79J
"You of all people should have been the least worried."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcOhhZi4MJ
That was cold. I looked him directly in the eye. He was hurting alright. And he was hurting me too.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyAXVI3el4
"I don't care what you think, Kwon Ji Yong," I said. I was kind of surprised that I had called him by his real name.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWUOQoxgyq
"Excuse me?" G-Dragon raised an eyebrow.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexHEJ65xMu
"You heard me." I took a1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTgu9Jysdr
step towards him. "I don't care what you think of me anymore. I'm tired1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnC5ZhCWkG
of this crap. It's time we laid the cards on the table once and for 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEARmYP1gv
all."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5yAZqNS6F
G-Dragon shrugged. "What?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFhEcmwl8W
"I want to know what issue you have with me. In fact, I don't want to know, I need to know."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6RiixhgPP
"Aren't you just acting delirious?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGud9bmblvb
"How I wish I was," I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZg9Su8CBn
took another step forward. "But even from miles away I could tell you 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZckHHh8zB
hate me for some reason and I want to know why."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8RBHWwsfI
"Now you're just crazy."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSgr3JFi8A
"Crazy to know the truth? Yes, I am."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxQiVUJa5I
He didn't say anything. 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7nr0Q7Wj9
He just looked at me still with no emotion. That irritated me a lot and I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM6SIUMjiD
felt like shaking him to get the truth out of his mouth.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4N7MtcgCn
"I thought I was going to explain that in front of everyone," said G-Dragon.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8uKaBa5vF
"And how am I so sure you aren't going to tell a lie?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7YDIzJsEy
He didn't answer and I knew I had him.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfoM1PYPFs
"I don't want to involve the others with something personal. It's going to affect them. Especially Zoey."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemXV79QTgx
G-Dragon looked surprised. I bet he didn't expect me to know about him and Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf5CA72AYP
"I know you wouldn't like to hurt Zoey, at all," I continued. "That's why you and I need to resolve this issue now."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEB1RvXmCT
"What issue?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU5Vih0YoW
I shrugged. "I don't 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehzBdfjWo7
know. You tell me. I know it's not about what happened after the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxbLfhxTZr
Caribbean Bay incident when I suggested that we should all participate 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uf618ZfxE
in writing the lyrics for the song, it's something else. And you have 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdGrCTRDIg
been giving me a hell of an attitude because of it."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4kjQwYX2l
"Nothing is wrong, Sam."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux9IyoMMyZ
"I'll believe you when I stop seeing the hurt in your eyes."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzAMzclEF6
G-Dragon took one step 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWmTUqCb2f
closer to me and that left a small gap between us. I held my breath for a1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCdS9kjaEr
second. That was sudden and I tried to keep my composure. Looking at 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HM8VeXSeX
him made me weak in the knees and I felt like at any moment, I would 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2ys54axRU
fall to the ground.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yzKj2VfU7
I was so caught up in 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYAHlzUJ96
his eyes. And with him so close, I couldn't break away from his spell. I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOJsUat4Pl
hated him for this. I hated him for a lot of other things too. How he 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr4JEtjWhN
made me feel like all I wanted was to be in his arms.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7U3zQBGfx
I had been locking all these feelings I had for him for the sake of so many things. For the group, for my career. For Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1OqXEw9Cw
I wanted to push him 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6f6L6gOwM
away. I didn't want to him so close to me. His manly cologne filled with1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Dk2DfDVk
rich spices intoxicated me and I just wanted to breathe all of him in 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurF1u9mdeA
me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGaQQElNem
He continued to look at 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyMyv5LcUJ
me and at that moment time had stopped. Everything around me seem to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJp9pgF9AG
disappear and it was just only me and him left alone in the world.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41k8y3nTmy
"Would you be able to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIrT9ZHJzY
take away the pain? My pain?" he asked as he came closer to whisper in 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW7AeCnQKA
my ear and his deep husky voice made my heart beat faster and I felt 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhr5zzvZp9
light headed.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHR7nLxd4h
I didn't say anything. I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCeI4gPcQE
couldn't say anything. He had me under his spell and he knew it as his 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALQRolbkQw
lips brushed against my cheek leaving behind electric sparks, making his1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWubZhyKQz
way towards my lips.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Abrt1oyNt
I felt his hand on my 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrDUJP9hho
waist and he pulled me closer to him. Our bodies touched and his touch 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPkieemLtY
on my waist sent chills down my spine. His lips were now so close to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZn2mvz6NB
mine. Any wrong move and I would kiss him. I tried to get myself under 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluU2CsHsTj
control, but I couldn't. I was caught in his web and I was too light 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWKP6m6KrV
headed to break away.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrBLpSGWx0
"Only you, my little kitty," he said as he looked at me with those dreamy eyes of his, "can take this pain away."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP7edsFdYv
I closer my eyes ready 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4xWnMfFsA
to receive his lips. I wanted to kiss him so badly. I couldn't help it. I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4WkPS0aOH
just wanted him to get on with it. I was so thrilled to ride the road 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem2WDEn2Xp
of ecstasy.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT172uLFVmt
Then a wave of dizziness hit me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR8q5dSFSA
"No."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLGSQadxie
I took a step back and 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5cMSivfSm
my head was pounding like crazy. What just happened? For a moment, I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOMifO0eeW
didn't recognise where I was and the floor beneath me was spinning. What1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUe9OqERJP
was happening to me?1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwdQrCbud1
"Sam, are you okay?" I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQksTR9kEB
heard G-Dragon's voice, it felt like I could hear his voice from a 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oTqMvmTq5
distance, but he was standing right next to me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O1qYVsFSG
I looked at the floor 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacUNejOBwW
and felt like I was going to puke all over. I bended over trying to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxl17zbFCK
breathe and held my knees to support myself.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBYDMQ5HPo
"Sam," came Lee's voice behind me. "Are you okay?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa8whaoTEF
I was soon regaining my bearings and I was able to steady myself. I took in long deep breaths, slowly at a time.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RsYldgDmj
"Hey, what's happening here?" I heard the door of the studio room open and Zoey's voice.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEaUUZ4sdU
I straightened myself up1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDH2CjzAPg
and I realised that G-Dragon was right behind me for support. His hand 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7BAw3NOJ6
was on my back the the whole time and I hadn't even noticed. Lee was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MebLlgwtI
already there, looking at me with concern.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZsoS5mQPZ
"I'm fine," I said. I was feeling a lot better now. "I was just feeling nauseous."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4OD8YI0eK
"I hope you aren't sick," said Zoey as she approached us.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6SPaX9RbX
"No, Zoey, I'm fine, don't worry."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OnUeXCc4r
"Come on, we better go inside," said G-Dragon, his hand still on my back. "You look really pale."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswYMYOwdhp
I nodded. I couldn't 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8sSuBqVlI
help but realise that all of this was just weird. How had I become so 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnwdTc7He7
sick all of the sudden? Did I need to go for a check up just to be sure 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LJuvnBsGG
that I was alright? I don't know.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRBrFMaO1W
When I came into the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLoFw4tSHg
room, I was soon surrounded by the others asking questions all at the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Lwk7zolk
same time if I was alright. Their random questions almost made me dizzy 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBZC0atU04
again.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFvvE7IYoX
"Guys, make room or else she is going to faint," said Lee, trying to move people aside as I came in futher into the room.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutHfNo2mya
"People, I'm fine," I said as G-Dragon still followed behind me to the couch. "You don't have to worry about me."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdDtXKBt7t
"Are you okay?" TOP asked. "What happened to you?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRPOIzSxuK
"Nothing, I just felt dizzy," I answered.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zvrMnuv3q
"Are you sure? You don't need a doctor?" Taeyang asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xGegbVkNF
"Believe me, I'm okay," I managed to put up a smile.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ838LfvLN9q
"Well, at least the person we wanted to see is here," said Zoey, her hands on her hips as she looked at G-Dragon.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvqTjnzOZl
"Ya, we were worried sick about you," said Seungri.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHwppmpreL
I quickly sat down on 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs4lg0Cab6
the couch, not ready for what's to come next. I wasn't in the mood to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMImnFt05A
start arguing with G-Dragon. I would let the others handle him.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEapCcRkOO
"Where did you go? Why weren't you picking up my calls?" Zoey stood right in front of G-Dragon like an angry girlfriend.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrP6mdFyNl
"I was around," said G-Dragon.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8Cc9R5okW
"Around where? Be more specific!"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmrRrGrP81
"Zoey, chill," said Lee. "You're angry and you're not okay."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe6RtYTSz2
"I was sick and worried about him. We all were."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjicBN8HDZS
Well, not me. That's according to G-Dragon of course. I looked away remembering those words and they still stung like hell.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsHim58DPq
"I was around town, just going here and there," said G-Dragon.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZkkTFRxea
"You have a lot of 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAqQIYHb19
explaining to do," said Daesung. "But now, we have other things to look 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHnSpnb3Rf
at. Why you and Sam are arguing again."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHsnQnSQ0J
I looked at Daesung and I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM0pVKW5QP
would've told him that we weren't necessarily arguing. I kept my mouth 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoT8sMwKbJ
shut. I felt more of the victim and it was best to keep quiet on my 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG5cfHjOEP
part. It was then that I remembered what Lee told me when we were in 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6clPrZfOLL
theother room.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHYwKdAImi
I looked up at the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbf6wiw10j
others and they looked like they were all about to gang up on G-Dragon 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfds8XPcMeD
when all they wanted was an explanation from him. All of this was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp7PNJuhnm
frightening.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77in902PFU
I knew he was going to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1AeeRLJBE
tell them a lie. I wouldn't blame him. Besides, this only had to do with1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeh2gqOhfU
me and him. No one else. If he had to tell them, something told me they1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jz0NsG4Ge
wouldn't even believe him.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXCba5eK34
I looked at Lee who 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWipwGNCcWu
stood behind the others. She had been looking at me the whole time 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cuu8N1CWe
trying to get my attention. She had a warning look in her eye, telling 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXsi43YyE1
me to do something.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpTVDxkGY6
But what was I supposed 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDosYt6s2Ey
to do? All this was just getting more complicated and I feared I might 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MV4hx6TSc
just make it as worse as it already was.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXFmTVbCfd
"If you want to know, then fine," said G-Dragon.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtMOZGBN1S
I looked up at him. Oh 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5enTEwsoDk
no. Was he really going to tell them the truth? Right now, I couldn't 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEOfZXWMRu
even tell for sure. I wanted to know the truth for myself and not 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd33tkZieR
involve anyone else.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwImpu2xn2B
What if in the attempt 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH2APKA8Rx
to tell truth he ends up hurting Zoey? I still wasn't sure why he was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw1P5oyBQM
giving me the attitude, but if all this was going to hurt everyone in 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaj32WkkuS
the end, I better do something. And now.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRBg43otO3
"All of this was nothing but a misunderstanding."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD1zIKkyib
Everyone turned to me now. I stood up from her couch. Thank goodness I wasn't feeling dizzy anymore.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHaTmYW495
"What?" Christine asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpH7cBlg4p
"All of this was nothing1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLJTtZrri8
but a misunderstanding," I repeated. "We talked about it in the hall 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALBCsqDp4r
when he came and you don't need to worry anymore."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxRPHeyQjq
Everyone looked at me now and I could tell they were as confused as ever. I had to sound more convincing. 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Sp2a8cjA
I put up a smile and said, "you guys were taking this all too seriously 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHz6XO9dMW
for no good reason at all. Lee made everything sound really serious when1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mh89vhlrT
she told you yesterday."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgi8Y2flo7
"Wait, so what was the argument all about?" Mike asked, looking confused.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBxsPFh1DG
"Well, G-Dragon and I had gone somewhere on Sunday, to get smoothies." I looked at G-Dragon 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiVBElKumA
and he at me. "We were joking around until I joked about something 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp44yrPtAD2
personal.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgncxddRkh0
He was upset and though he was acting like he didn't mind, he was still1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8r9ofBnQM
giving me an attitude. I told Lee about it and that's why she said all 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY28gSz2r8
that yesterday."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YngO2oRO6
Lee wiped her brow and 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQzEuWoJmH
looked relieved. I started to feel that way myself. I could feel the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW07CjY3ga
tension from G-Dragon slowly start to disappear. I turned to look at 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBHWZcnrx7
him.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhigaINdwMC
"I'm still really sorry, GD," I said. "I shouldn't have said all that."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNSfb7lBNX
I shouldn't have done 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQqz0PLSZJ
what I did for you to hate me. That'swhat was in my heart the whole 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6XIidlUAe
time. I wanted to say it out loud so that he should know. But that's 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuBngmY45y
just going to raise everyone's suspicion.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ARaXQYi8i
G-Dragon continued to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeNrHet1hC
look at me, and in his eyes, he knew exactly what I meant. I was hoping 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36E4chlhbS
he would forgive me but I was wasn't raising that thought too high.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkskxk4wCjS
He nodded his head and 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFON9LYe4eE
didn't say a word. That meant he still hadn't forgiven me for something I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENUjV0RNG2
didn't know I had done. Well, I might have an idea why but I had to be 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTJqPUDAKy
sure from him.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y73iN5po6
"Oh, thank goodness," said Christine and Seungri at the same time.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj47ryjbJk
"I thought it was something so serious," said Daniel. "I was expecting a juicy story. Thanks for nothing."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJfNIadiML
I bet the juicy story might be about G-Dragon liking me. My brothers were such a menace sometimes.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EGwxa11Ku
"Don't blame me for this," I said as I raised my hands in surrender.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIv5RMSdge
"It's my fault," said Lee. "Sorry, guys."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB5vkRU3ng
"We would've been doing other things by now if it wasn't for this," said Taeyang.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NL57nwJUC
"And by other things, you mean, Hyo-rin," I said with a smirk and Taeyang confirmed it with a smile.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprrwqPsyaJ
"Well, now that the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqgnBYIbD5
drama is over," said Zoey, as she hooked her arm around G-Dragon's 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdxzKbZhd0
elbow. "Why don't we do something fun? The day is almost over, you 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtETD790Fw
know?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHeqZjzpeD
"I agree," said Daesung.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8errbDnqL
Everyone else seemed to agree to go out and have fun. Lee and I hadn't say a word.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvThInWcwby
"Aren't you coming along, sis?" Mike asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MRDtLRsKP
"Arrh..." I thought for a while. Should I go? "No, you guys go ahead and have fun."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5yBGebxwf
"No! Sam, stop being a party pooper for once in your life," said Zoey as she stomped her foot on the ground.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg44EtPB9M
"Guys, I need to rest. I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMsLSHBOVf
must have felt dizzy because I still didn't get enough sleep after 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYurdNBzR7Q
finishing up the lyrics. And you guys came with all those presents the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWnrveT9AV
other day that made me restless. The interview made me all the more 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihk0kmFudR
tired."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1j0hJ0ni6
"Ya, true," said TOP. "I can see the bags under your eyes."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPM9lfNv2T
I knew he was just joking around and I smiled. I tried not to take notice of G-Dragon's sharp gaze at me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIgATf9qEX
"Fine, we will see you later back at the hotel to come check on you," said Daesung.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYp2iHvH4I
"Okay, then let's go have some fun then," said Seungri.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2GJq53bbR
One by one, the others 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JSz2sAapm
started to leave the room. Seungri with my brothers and Christine went 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrabPtsBiX
out first. Taeyang and TOP also left soon after. That left the two love 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HE9yvTDPw
birds with Lee and I.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAnekW9rpK
"Make sure you get enough rest, okay?" Zoey said as though she was giving me instructions. "We still need you for tomorrow."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlilORUaO2
"Of course I will," I said. "You guys go have as much fun as possible."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQQsiaRzEn
"We certainly will," said G-Dragon as he smiled at Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO4s9XmstE
"Come on," said Zoey tugging G-Dragon along with her.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlJpMwwkcs
When they had left and 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgXs9Qi5pw
closed the door behind them, I waited for thirty seconds to pass until I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXuztDlQsO
dropped myself backwards onto the couch as I closed my eyes. I sighed 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL2Yo7YZKB
in relief as I slumped myself on the couch.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6NIBuv1Vg
"Phew! That was close," 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAtaCbGTjs
said Lee as she rushed to the window. She was obviously trying to see 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUFg5kR80e
the others down at the parking lot.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiSeKiLQmm
"I've never lied like that in my entire life," I said as I looked at Lee. "And not like that in one day."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgj5u3zcFC
"But it's a good thing you did," said Lee, still looking out the window. "Okay, they are leaving."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOhBYl2h5k
"All this lying has got me hungry," I said.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuJgQIBPWb
"Why don't we go back to the hotel and order something nice for ourselves."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot9OxJHwJb
"Sounds like a good idea. We should watch some k-drama too."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9IRUx3brA
"That's exactly what I thought. Let's go."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtpQUKR8Ox
"Yes, please."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISIuNmDvn9
I quickly got up from 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPCWbuydwR
the couch and I left with Lee. I couldn't have felt more relieved to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8erolDbli
have left the studio. I was feeling too awkward not after what happened.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t4GXOBrBg
When we got to the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsvvZnTcTL
hotel, the first thing I did was kick off my shoes and I went in the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobKUYJNNLL
lounge with Lee. She was already checking for k-drama series on the TV 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHadpRbko6
and I sat on the couch.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7SbrSNDmt
"What happened to you when you were dizzy in the hallway?" Lee asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8w3lBGf0B
"I was having my usual conversation with GD and it didn't end well," I replied.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo3Im2ZQuT
Lee turned away from the TV and looked at me. "Give me details."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5T5RDL39L
I shrugged as I read her eyes. "Something tells me you already know what happened."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCJx0oCZ8Q
"Well, hearing you say it was going to be music to my ears," said Lee with a grin.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLKIrODcep
"Pfft, ya right."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrSIdLuN4R
"Why didn't you let him kiss you, huh?" Lee asked as she sat down beside me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsARDd5OCK
"I just couldn't let him, Lee," I said as I thought of what happened. "It wasn't going to feel right."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3hpLCxoV0
"Did you fake the illness then?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMXUt86niW
"No, at least that was one thing I couldn't lie about today."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINj6svk6tY
"Then what happened?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfiaP5kjB3
"Guilt. That's what happened."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm76dkvlSfJ
Lee looked confused for a moment but she quickly understood.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6BqFupCBG
"Looks like your body also has a conscious," said Lee. "How righteous of you."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDPG4VL9Wn
"Don't make fun of me, Lee. I just couldn't hurt Zoey. Not in this way."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3vJ25GBUt
"But didn't you want to kiss him?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzlcELmMb3
"Well, I did. But I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsZgPrVxC6
don't know what happened. I was so caught up in the moment I had no 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVENmeak7k9
control of my own body. Then guilt came in the worst possible way and 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ0nNDTNuN
prevented me from doing something I could regret doing afterwards."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDWvYMw9e8
"Well, it came at the right time. I'm just glad no one saw that."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiS7D8uXrk
"We would be having an entirely different conversation right now."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdY0HVjf6l
"True, let me go and take my shoes off."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsTovbHNNg
"I will let room service bring us some snacks while we enjoy our series," I stood up and went for the land line.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhg4lLEV7U
"You do that."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNBHzzYH1e
As Lee left for her 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeNK9WbfYM
room, my phone beeped just as I was about to pick up the land line. I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB3YttA3GZ
fetched for my phone in the pocket. I had a message from G-Dragon.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNHgMTKOAT
"I've to hand it to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2rr3S9hVK
you, not only did you save my neck, you also prevented World War Three 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQYwM2YMDc
from breaking loose. I never knew you would be a liar. And a good one. 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHVoDjl5fy
You're right, you and I need to talk without involving anyone else."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZtGohfytk
I frowned. He didn't even say thank you. So much for saving him. I decided not to reply. I had no words.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUgcjAxc5u
I did agree that he was right about one thing. I was a liar. A big fat one.
