I couldn't keep my mouth closed, and my eyes were filled with wonder as I looked out the window. The car we were in drove through the streets of Seoul with the sun beginning to set in the west and the street lights starting to brighten the streets. The city is just as beautiful as I imagined it. The beautiful skyscrapers, bright TV bulletins, and neon lights almost felt like home in L.A. or New York. But the signs and words on billboards made it quite clear that we're in South Korea now.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAZs7YFkoRqo
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAJecmUZkLmC
"Wow, this place looks awesome," said Daniel, who sat beside me and was also looking out of the window.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAjCuEVhU3r2
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAybp0Y59anI
"I know, right? It's like a dream come true that we're here," said Christine, who sat behind me.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAn6ZDE95mSd
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAniIt8IFNSB
"OMG, is that an ancient palace?" I asked when I saw what looked like one from afar. Before coming here, I made sure to Google some wonderful sites I would like to visit. I had a huge interest in ancient palaces.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAWTBXmO37dL
1130Please respect copyright.PENANABFtt1JAnd6
"It is," said Collins. "Beautiful, isn't it?"1130Please respect copyright.PENANAGGVqy6R2QS
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAYxEB1u55JI
"It sure is," I said with a smile as we quickly lost sight of it.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAeVTJm6us6F
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA8L2yer39DC
We continued to follow the car ahead and soon found ourselves at a beautiful hotel: the Seoul Hotel. Before we could get out of the car, bright, flashing lights came into view through the windows. The paparazzi. It looks like news travels fast around here too. These people always made me feel uncomfortable.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA4uhRFIF5gL
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA391bMvTCMD
When the doors of the car flew open, Collins and Lee stepped out first. Mike, Zoey, and Christine excitedly followed. If there's one thing they like about being famous, it's the bright lights and attention. Even though we've been in the spotlight for almost two years, I'm still not used to it, especially dealing with the paparazzi and reporters. The attention I get from my fans is more than enough.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAyckAfIrXmn
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAqLcKv9OmqP
"Hey, aren't you coming?" Daniel asked, bringing me back from my thoughts.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAJtmVrwF2g4
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAtBUy0WXfsS
"Yeah, I am," I said, trying to pull myself together.1130Please respect copyright.PENANArPiiAEMgXi
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAwsuqq3zo4g
"I know you've never liked this, but The Toxins aren't The Toxins without you," he said, giving me an encouraging smile.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAoQDB7PkTms
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAYZHLBBjE1k
"It's going to take years for me to get over this."1130Please respect copyright.PENANA1pQWII3BD2
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAHJxbthkXl4
"Yeah, I know. Come on, we have to go."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAMTNNeGNhS3
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAw5yZR6jHt9
Daniel got out of the car, leaving me all alone. I take a deep breath, getting myself ready to step out. Before I could even get the chance, a hand appeared before me. G-Dragon is standing outside the car with his hand stretched out for me to hold on to. For the moment, I can't stop staring at him. I looked at his hand, then back. I don't know what to do, and I couldn't help but blush.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAJD0CBuIyNt
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAIj6AsuzSXT
"Come on, we're all waiting for you," he said with a smile. "Take my hand."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAsImEhKHby3
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA4kV4GKtba3
I continued to look at him, contemplating what to do next. I finally took his hand, and he delicately held mine, slowly leading me out of the car.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA4wHo1VdyZV
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAYuO7RM6x4W
The flashing lights of the cameras turned on me immediately after I put my foot out. When I fully stepped out, G-Dragon stood beside me with his hand still wrapped around mine. The cameramen and reporters were calling out to me to grab my attention. This is the part where I always try to get over my irritation and smile.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAwBZTNNcOwB
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA8bX1mzul2m
G-Dragon led me down the aisle that led to the glass doors of the hotel. The rest of The Toxins and BIGBANG were already ahead, getting their pictures taken, but soon most of the media's attention turned to G-Dragon and me. They kept on calling out to us, and we paused to have our picture taken together. I am already losing my nerve, and all this made my body go stiff.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAMPQPly05PP
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAgHzZAFIKNT
"Woah, relax, B.K." said G-Dragon as he smiled for the camera. "You don't seem too comfortable."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAjpWcD9XPVm
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAnVLJYY5SiD
I blush. It looks like he read my body language. Well, this is embarrassing.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAQE0ybf5aC6
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAlTRFNjqJKl
"I don't like getting all the attention," I told him as I spoke in his ear.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAt7ZPm7SI2e
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAAgxfej1fua
"You deserve it." He said this while he looked at me. "Just like the whole world has their attention on you, you have mine too."1130Please respect copyright.PENANATwQmeM1rVs
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAnEp5OlZR5k
Is he flirting with me? I can't tell since I can't think straight with all that's going on around us. I hadn't noticed that we were so close and that he was still holding my hand. Likewise, I wanted to pull away, but that would only look rude in front of everyone. It would also be a juicy scene for the media to show and tell.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAi0Hhk7lnTA
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAYlY5tQibU5
He gave me that irresistible smile, and I felt like melting. He left me utterly speechless.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAucN2KjaD6p
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAlTSazd1lFO
"Come, let's join the others," he said, and we continued to walk hand in hand down the aisle.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA56zpvNPfUV
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAtLqfZH3miy
When we got to them, we all took several group photos together. Afterwards, we went through the doors of the hotel. The media remained outside as the security guards barricaded the doors. It's always a relief to get away from those vultures.1130Please respect copyright.PENANADkxNbh4Ck7
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAQCrAc61ugK
"I think you can let go of my hand now," I said as I turned to face G-Dragon.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAe5HbN0cFUs
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAu0Poegn1Vi
"I let go of your hand, or you let go of mine?" he asked.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAK9sgr6Xq9r
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAcYJIukaTFh
I got confused, and the smirk on his face almost made me lose my mind. I want to look down at our hands, but that would only make things even more awkward. He's doing this just to torture me.1130Please respect copyright.PENANABkveouAiae
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAidYrvG7GLb
I quickly slipped my hand away from his and folded my arms. He smiles and walks away, slightly brushing my shoulder with his, intentionally. I let out a sigh of relief when he left to join the others. Is it just me, or did it feel so hot in the lobby that I couldn't even breathe?1130Please respect copyright.PENANAtKveZ6SjYz
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAUHox3saLjm
Collins, Lee, and Yang Hyun-suk were by the reception desk, checking if our rooms were ready. The Toxins were huddled up with BIGBANG, talking and laughing about who knows what. They all seem to be getting along just fine. When I look around, I notice that the guards inside the lobby have made a circle around us. People were coming from the elevators, and others using the stairs coming into the lobby had their eyes on us. Some even had their phones out, taking pictures and videos. A small group of teenage girls were excited upon seeing The Toxins and BIGBANG together.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAcyhpKiiT0Q
1130Please respect copyright.PENANANiHMmPIlHt
"I see that Ji Yong is troubling you," said Taeyang as he came over, breaking away from the others.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA09ErSWL1WK
1130Please respect copyright.PENANASMagMlkV8m
"Well, not really," I said. "And here I thought Seungri was the devious one."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAVV9uCJQYvR
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAhwH0IMdxhp
"Don't mind him. He does that all the time."1130Please respect copyright.PENANA6HhGBClsbW
1130Please respect copyright.PENANATabqG2bsaP
"Does he do that just to make any girl fall for him?"1130Please respect copyright.PENANAGesgGZJB4m
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAR6JGomLkAD
"Not really. The thing is, no one ever knows what his real intentions are."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAOq5X0Vfrpg
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA77PAHytlFF
"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind." I smiled.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ5AEq2qKy
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAyUzZSvWVYL
"I noticed that the two of you were holding hands earlier. That's going to be all over the news."1130Please respect copyright.PENANA6oVBKwSIqo
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAUnUVAZ1Xu5
"Yeah, I'm definitely screwed." I playfully hit my head with my hand, laughing nervously. "People would start to think otherwise, huh?"1130Please respect copyright.PENANAbZwoPYtxrG
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAW1FRxqPhV5
"I don't think people would come to any conclusion. You just met."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAiffCJ6vk6Y
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ46WpaqER
"Yeah, I guess so. I worry for no reason."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAcrDtd7eNQO
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA2hPlJYSdhe
"Don't feel relaxed, though. The media knows how to twist things around."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAZmtzrKBqHr

"I've been there before; it did not go well."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAjXxrEaWjAR
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAXoSR4C7Vc3
While Taeyang and I continued talking, we soon heard noises. There seemed to be confusion outside the circle of guards. The next thing I knew, I felt something grab my leg, and when I looked, I gasped.1130Please respect copyright.PENANABUW0iFdEy7
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAXcxKm2M2w3
Holding onto my leg is a beautiful young girl in a lovely white dress. She looked to be three to four years old. And I am captivated by her cuteness.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAUU8FLAdnn4
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAMrQxgMhhl1
"Aww, look who we have here," I said softly. I went down on one knee after the little girl let go of my leg. I gently held her chin up, and she gave me a bright smile. Likewise, I smiled back.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAaWgY5fN31P
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAJJbyOIOkwg
"She's so cute. What do you think?" I asked Taeyang.1130Please respect copyright.PENANANGvsZVISEu
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAp2Hlq4kMN6
"She is," he replied. "It seems she likes you."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAMPleAhGESa
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAfFoqircpvG
I smiled at Taeyang, and I looked back at the little girl. She stretched out her hand to me, and in it was a beautiful white flower, which she held by the stem. I looked at it, then back at the young girl, whose bright smile made my heart flutter.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA9xOY0AgbJn
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAW9EqNQRgvC
"Is this for me?" I asked softly.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA1rUrOpmfMQ
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAoggxzwR90i
The little girl nodded, and my smile widened even more. I slowly took the white flower, then carried the little girl in my arms, hugging her.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAmVCIcehYDo
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAoANnFTUoov
I noticed that all this took everyone's attention, and people were either filming or taking pictures. They still kept their distance because of the guards. I stood up straight with the girl in my arms and ran my hand through her black, silky hair. I start to look around for the girl's parents when I see a woman standing outside the circle, staring at the girl in my arms. It seems like she's the girl's mother because she had a look on her face only a mother could have. The little girl looked on at the same woman, and I made the connection. I make my way over to her.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAYt8fLPbKQ6
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAv9J0H4nQUa
"Sorry for the trouble," the woman said to me when I got closer. "She can really be jumpy sometimes."1130Please respect copyright.PENANATyJLfnJBmS
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAIww5vhY0W6
"No, not at all," I said. "You've got a very beautiful daughter."1130Please respect copyright.PENANASLF4Z7vEWu
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAeAZo72sTzJ
"Thank you," the woman said with a smile.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAbQsitEjfOP
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAaTPokCxSST
The guards standing between the woman and me made way, and I gave the little girl back to her mother. The girl waved goodbye, and I also did the same. The woman took her daughter away, heading for the elevator. I looked at the flower in my hand and smiled. When I turned around, everybody else in the circle, including the two managers and Lee, was staring at me.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAA6vIdHGHVg
1130Please respect copyright.PENANATKNjkMElel
"What?" I shrug my shoulders.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAo37fNMIvwM
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAST5n5oibfu
Taeyang looked at me in a way I can't describe. I can't tell if he was amazed at what happened or at me. In any way, he made me blush, and I felt uncomfortable in my own skin.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAWAkuxRekIR
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAHlp0meFEn7
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I ask him.1130Please respect copyright.PENANACDrjsq8zUO
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAsrDSrsxcYU
"Um, nothing," Taeyang said with a smile. "I was only wondering. That little girl really likes you, and you seem to be good with children."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAiC2eTrAQu0
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAoetadKRpVL
"Or she was just an adorable, cute fan of mine that managed to pass through the guards just to give me a flower."1130Please respect copyright.PENANACDzlQwbzL3
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6CzdLJ83s
Taeyang laughed, and I blushed even more. I looked the other way so that he wouldn't notice.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAx3TncjQIhg
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAYwTSe6XJ14
"You don't know how valuable you are, do you?"1130Please respect copyright.PENANAn6qQ2GVOeL
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAuUAJHhkSvA
I look at him, and my heart begins to race. What did he mean by that? Somehow, I felt like I knew, but I didn't want to acknowledge it. I looked down at my feet, not even willing to look up.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAGJeoknxjrf
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAbdiNmweEjI
I felt Taeyang hold the bottom of my chin with his fingers and slowly lift my face to stare into his kind eyes. For a moment, I got lost in them.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAEOYu4HPdwK
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA8LDYrG8fgW
"Did I say something wrong?" he asked softly. Damn! His voice was like music to my ears, and I felt so drawn to him. Wake up, Sam, I told myself. I have to snap out of it.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAM0xvoPrgRS
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAPI1dv0bYPk
"I'm sorry if I did," he continued when I didn't answer. Dang it! That sweet voice moved me again. "But you do know how extraordinary you are, don't you?"1130Please respect copyright.PENANASqHWGWUOAq
1130Please respect copyright.PENANADDc9yEh6Gu
I swallowed. That's one question I couldn't answer. Luckily, Collins announced that it was time to go up to our rooms. That's a relief. At the moment, I wanted to be as far away from every BIGBANG member as possible.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAzuxzO7AIFf
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA4wnPbT6EXJ
"Come on, Sam," said Zoey, who had a huge smile on her face as she headed for the elevator. Christine and Daniel followed.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA2NAbVrlITe
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAbK0CDIyvAf
"I better get going," I told Taeyang.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAsrfakecnxY
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAydfPmQGfGu
"See you tomorrow, then," he said. "Maybe then we can get on the dance floor and see who has the best moves."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAtPwFN5K99x
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAmPhPYwCely
"You're on," said Mike as he walked past us, joining the others in the elevator.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA7tw5aB8QM2
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA4HEuN4GhcB
"I'll see you tomorrow," I said.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAESEQ5ilvxX
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAmqntcLBBEh
"Make sure you dream about me, alright?" came T.O.P.'s voice as he came and whispered right in my ear. I didn't see him coming, and I felt a chill run down my spine at the sound of his husky voice. These guys are driving me crazy.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAX9Hxj90Bi2
1130Please respect copyright.PENANACXdsUGagx0
"See you tomorrow, T.O.P." I turned around to face him as he gave me that bad-boy smile of his.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAqI9eMdMDOw
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAaGCt2a9YQN
I said goodbye to Daesung and Seungri, who both hugged me in return. G-Dragon came over, and I wanted to roll my eyes at him but surprisingly failed to do so. I'm not ready to put up with him again. I felt like running for my life towards the elevator, but I stood there, waiting for what was to come.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA6QbJsLlhmh
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAnf8ajm5guJ
"Goodnight and sweet dreams, my little black kitty," he said softly. My eyes almost fell out of their sockets when he said that.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAnIQGIDmqxh
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q2TME5SKy
"What did you-?"1130Please respect copyright.PENANA44nx2yNvxo
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAT2NAoglKyS
Before I could finish my sentence, G-Dragon quickly pecked me on the cheek. I am so stunned that I can't move. I didn't know he would do that, and it felt wrong on so many levels.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAMjk7zMphpf
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA3NVrw38p7M
When I gather my composure, I quickly walk away and join the others in the elevator. Before the doors closed, I looked up to see G-Dragon staring at me with that corky smile on his face, and he gave me a wink.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAyqKeiRi42U

1130Please respect copyright.PENANAvmTFpq3Jol
"What just happened out there?" Zoey asked.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAAAlzDcgSSS
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA5V1rGdlAbe
I threw myself onto the comfortable bed, landing on my back with my eyes closed. I want to forget all that has happened. Furthermore, I feel so tired, and I need to rest, but my mind won't let me. And so is Zoey.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA3gw20TVByI
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAaOABH3VQu6
"Hello, B.K. I'm talking to you." I felt Zoey come to sit beside me and shake me.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAAYcrTO0d8L
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAu0Bb5WXpJt
"May I please rest?" I whined with my eyes still closed. "You know I'm tired."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAcOnOzoDb33
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAxJAeXJq6C2
"You aren't resting until you tell me what happened down there in the lobby."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAqzDXJmHsr5
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAE6tWxiVASA
"So many things happened today," I said as I opened my eyes. "I suggest you be more specific."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAvbhs4rN2Qu
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAF1guA2lPnd
"Let's start with the time you were walking down the aisle with G-Dragon."1130Please respect copyright.PENANA7TqCH6zBra
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAp4uHRtHJkh
"What?" I sat up. "Don't tell me you are jealous."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAOeuzFocl79
1130Please respect copyright.PENANApVbis5xq6x
"You heard me. Start talking." Zoey looked at me in a way that my mother would whenever I did something wrong.1130Please respect copyright.PENANArMLxLQs7md
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAonOMZku9Jw
"You're jealous," mocked Christine, who sat on the other bed opposite Zoey and me.1130Please respect copyright.PENANACq5SmesBq0
1130Please respect copyright.PENANABKy6zzGqGP
"Christine, ssh! Come on, Sam, start talking." Zoey looked serious. That didn't shock me at all.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAD6E7bxVsKK
1130Please respect copyright.PENANASWqAeWacgQ
I shrugged my shoulders. "It was nothing, really. He just helped me out of the car, and we walked down the aisle together."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAqsAxtFjLAq
1130Please respect copyright.PENANALBfQWq4MVr
"Really? You two were walking down the aisle like newlyweds! And he gave you a goodbye kiss before we left." She sighed. "I wish he gave me one too."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAuuqOQhZK3t
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAYg0JLqQblg
"You're overreacting, Zoey." I roll my eyes. "It's not like we'll ever be in a relationship. Apart from being friends, that is."1130Please respect copyright.PENANA8H0UmlrIBx
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAO0HVlq3ZY8
"I know," said Christine. "We just met these guys today, and you're already making a mountain out of a molehill."1130Please respect copyright.PENANA5bKC7gr9BL
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA3fM3nvFoEf
"And you think Taeyang wasn't drooling over Sam in the lobby?" Zoey asked. "I thought you liked Tae."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAAZ3dQ6OljS
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAe4b07o7xP4
"Yeah, but he's already dating someone else, so I'm not worried," said Christine with a smile on her face. "I only like him because I'm a fan. You, on the other hand, are acting like once upon a time, G-Dragon was your boyfriend, and then you two broke up when you just met him face-to-face today."1130Please respect copyright.PENANA4U2aagcaUf
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAm9nHYb5Ngc
"I agree," I said. "You are one hell of a drama queen, Zoey. You can have G-Dragon because I'm not interested."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAS18WJcz7v6
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA0CPai9tt4F
"Okay, fine," said Zoey. "I might have been a little jealous."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAwGWdvbRPn6
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAPAjfoYYxVx
Zoey gave me puppy-dog eyes so that I could forgive her. I smile and shake my head, but she persistently continues with the look.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAli5CAvD6Gt
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZP93m9CXO
"Please stop doing that; you're no longer three." I laughed.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAtquWXcdxOl
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAE8PFUvL2SL
"Whatever. I'm just excited that I'm finally in Korea," she said with a grin.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA7cHOm21UnU
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAoNptAgUd7Y
"Yeah, me too." I stood and walked over to the window. The sky was completely dark, and the bright lights of the city shone brightly in the dark night.1130Please respect copyright.PENANApmlBqukWbG
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAI1K6nRZZps
"So, Christine, you're going to share the other room with Lee," I heard Zoey tell Christine. "Sam and I will be in this room. Wow, these beds are so comfortable." I hear her bounce up and down. "I'll sleep like a baby tonight."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAVaSvP1ACLk
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAsLvwaSMrrk
All of a sudden, the door to the room flew open, and Lee came flying in, landing on the other bed Christine is sitting on. We all look at her, wondering what's going on.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAQRpg82wnvv
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA9VMwYirOSZ
"Hey, are you okay?" Christine asked.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ua78j5lkB
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAxOqy5UEYRO
"Have you checked what's online?" Lee asked, almost out of breath.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAgxosvZNh8j
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAtB9uEVsZQm
"Um, no," Zoey replied. "What is it?"1130Please respect copyright.PENANAqhGA2sJTLP
1130Please respect copyright.PENANALXb7G6DNmv
"Sam, you're everywhere, like everywhere," said Lee as she looked at me. She clearly isn't making any sense.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAPCvXeBWljj

"Pictures of you with G-Dragon, the time you were with that little girl and Taeyang, everything. People are just talking about you!"1130Please respect copyright.PENANAdyaXMLOJeL

Lee had her phone, and she held it up for all of us to see. Christine, Zoey, and I got close enough to look at the screen. And just like she said, there were many pictures of me and G-Dragon. Lee continued to scroll downward. There were more: some with me and the little girl, and others with Taeyang. There were also pictures of all The Toxins and BIGBANG members, but the photos of me were a little too much.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAahXlqKK2l4

"Wow, I'm not looking forward to seeing the entertainment news tomorrow," I said as I continued to look at the pictures.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA2dsVTREJTE
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA51wXtJYWwW
"OMG!" said Zoey, her eyes still fixed on the screen. "There are pictures of you everywhere, Sam."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAcygJD2W44B
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAhXKyykyxjH
"Nah, we're all there," I said. "I'm just a little unfortunate."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAxTKoVXjOK7
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA1sycvvxD9x
"Did you just say unfortunate?" Zoey asked as she looked at me with her eyebrows raised. "So many pictures of you, and you're saying you're unfortunate?"1130Please respect copyright.PENANAtKy3LwTw91

"Okay, I better shut up because I'm clearly not helping," I said as I walked back to the window.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA86gpok6yYu

Suddenly, Mike and Daniel came into the room through the open door.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA2lWgSYRHcp
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAbVwGt9PH4g
"Guys, you're supposed to knock first," said Christine. "This is a girls' room, you know."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAsa8wRcwBtr
1130Please respect copyright.PENANA38fPeO5oZB
"You won't believe what's on Facebook," said Mike, completely ignoring Christine.1130Please respect copyright.PENANAP4cy4EVvv8
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAACu6giHld3
"If you're talking about Sam, we already know," said Zoey.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA8pJzybhqs1

"This is annoying," I said. "I didn't want this."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAOrykuimnku

"No one said you did," said Lee. "It just so happens that you caught people's attention."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAFifu19igda
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAMcWERlQFlx
"It looks like you've gained so much attention yet again," said Daniel. "Wait until Collins sees this."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAWqlXdrT9ri

"I'm so tired right now," said Christine as she yawned. "But I need to have something to eat first."1130Please respect copyright.PENANA4hSst0MPWk
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAK0vMXZi4k1
"Food will be brought up soon," said Lee. "Collins thinks it's too risky to go downstairs since there are still fans and the media around."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAttuzrNKqha

"Staying here is fine with me," I said. "As long as I don't get my picture taken putting something in my mouth."1130Please respect copyright.PENANA9rvu188Y29
1130Please respect copyright.PENANApOnGalV8kf
"Haha, now you're just exaggerating," said Zoey. "Just accept that somehow you caught the world's attention. Besides, this isn't the first time the Black Kitty has stolen the show."1130Please respect copyright.PENANAmDNPSR7TBb
1130Please respect copyright.PENANAe5gOVV3Cxa
I look at Zoey, and I have to admit, she's right. There were plenty of times when I "stole the show," as everybody puts it. But this time, it wasn't the whole U.S., but South Korea and other parts of the world combined. I'm not ready to check my phone because of all the notifications I would receive. I might as well just flush it down the toilet.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA6rqyKUZIQ3

Looking out the window upon the beautiful city, still holding the flower the little girl gave me in my hand, I couldn't help but think of what Taeyang told me down in the lobby if I knew how valuable I am. I felt like a priceless diamond for the entire world to see. Some people would have liked the feeling, but I didn't.1130Please respect copyright.PENANA4ydars8JkF

When supper arrived, we all ate, and everyone retired to sleep soon afterwards. As I lay down on my bed and Zoey is fast asleep on the other, I can't help but think of what will happen tomorrow. We were going to take a tour of Seoul. I am already so filled with excitement that I forgot all about the drama with BIGBANG, the media, and everything else. In what felt like seconds, I quickly dozed off to sleep.
