My watch said 10:31 and I hissed in frustration. I was getting really impatient and I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwZekQIJ81
I had never been this 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bNlWfas3p
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jkM1ZnMKY
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9OK0CkQox
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXTmavchkK
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWlJgETtJV
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLzrek5977
"Sam!"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2x9lFCVKg
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuxmDHJqE2
Zoey came out of the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQFCa29eaq
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KCtfGzSt0
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVY8t9fbG7
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW8eO36fR0
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIsdd5EHan
"You've been searching for it all morning," I said as I stood up. "Can we please just go to the studio? We're already late."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BAdwAOZ2q
"No, let me go and check again," Zoey turned around to head back to the room and I groaned so loudly to grab her attention.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRoaiYCxHt
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpZfGAZSJt
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5jZUD6eFz
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4fS0X36Ns
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRXNAxM0b8
I ignored her and said, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V1QkgMs7n
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf336qZp1M
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEmP2Nq20K
"What time is it?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNz1bjOLbs
"10:35."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVLObGgy2A
"Wow, time really passes by."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqQmaKwXRM
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQYwtHj37w
"Let me go get my phone."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkRJHWMEl2
Zoey rushed back to the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F3lM8q4ya
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yGLAQqtOj
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTIYcn5m9t
that was Zoey.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1MVTIRNCX
I soon received a 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VSypRGU23
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg7zx2aJA3
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9oBRxpVPv
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxowzUQ5Oho
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBm7R69YkA
"I'm coming."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkym4XXlDc
I started heading 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDXTKGgyjE
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2RpaeUyrE
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacoHkNsFza
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm89ai0Dt6
number. A number coming from another country.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9RtYjGSZ4
"Oh, who is this?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPB30CIwfA
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTKjfeW11O
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqkwLYwbfj
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kl4pgnOkv
"Come on, we're already late."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vMzlGmAAA
We went into the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HHrweX2D0
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95AWcyPfrp
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQlHCbO7o0
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyJ3lIk9Ry
When we got to YG, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuuFCWNVen
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiGZr17KlK
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8kbPJcxuu
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX6I9On0Rp
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKZqibU1bp
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUufmK2EHz
Zoey held her earlobes 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMYy3hmtH2
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkB3cezY5j
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii8BuoL1rI
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5nGFWDGrh
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv42jBcDJf
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9VCXCp1uR
"Remind me whenever you're deciding who sings which part of a song to let me be there," said Collins as he turned to look at me.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEqkEsdmzi
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM1nZXpldT
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tDl2O6fp0
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqYKNHnp0o
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VHl5j6107
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lgm1Wx17s
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGE6BDy0WK
"Then let's do so," said1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmoIu7D1jL
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZpu4RRJlM
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7U2rKlKRE
I had completely forgot 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vBa4u9hbg
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD1oouA8ET
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d0NVZK1Ld
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTqjDihlPX
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuyFhhkA8L
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUI5TRLzrG
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav1HiDGegh
In the live room, there 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVbd8y2ANK
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE2thzk2AG
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7Fn4KQmgX
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIcsN0iron
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnbBFaudUV
I looked at the others 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNndFmTH5W
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQhm9iEj4L
producer started to play the tune for the song.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzN9QNOaAj
G-Dragon started to sing1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmNPQsMATK
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88bYFYjSt6
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz3eA9WW2V
to let them sing the first verse together.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQuXB8u02o
Collins, the music 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AyTqqRprR
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLVV45iG51
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMkXZV1Nrv
Christine then sang the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni3MmhZh6m
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupgOqePM2c
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVggqQKXFP
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmGAeBIELn
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9euA2STkMd
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EnIoruuXZ
I smiled at Taeyang who stood beside me and I nudged him on the shoulder. "Stop it, Tae," I said. "Don't make me blush."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6JFzyM0dh
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml4EiiPifo
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoRkoOmWZa
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0V4FmvOjj
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbhhckLTSL
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY4bs7hise
"You may," said Collins,1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HPQLg9EgB
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujuGNSc3jj
You have to work on the backup vocals."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTld4h9oBAp
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rBHzCJAfE
If I hadn't known 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71f6F98jkX
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclX0Pgww7e
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNfS2OH8pM
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRoA0QVANt
hollow inside.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaunjjwLKzv
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd98ehs1F2O
We continued recording 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfHEVZokFA
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuSKjPi21T
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IwQBvxWYv
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSCZjG0f2q
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Tdd6hjjE
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1WjqcqFRX
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBgH4cZwbc
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0InULQZhE
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlrOCnRMKb
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dt3n7qrvd
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzzPeb826e
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyudcIePmR8
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbMDdfruwA
"But be back within an hour."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEYRMVRACR
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6szZ2vs4w
"Fine, an hour and a half."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdOsKyvefO
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiFWCReKNu
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqdnGlv7av
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwAE2pXHMG
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxC6480312
"That, my friend," said 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoicn2NPWvr
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvADOKA0MCd
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmNXyPdL7A
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo9OHhxw8f
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsgsqaTLYI
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8NXWoIr5c
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtWW5sCeiU
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RMzVf51kp
"Whenever you want us to1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9XBReqgxN
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUKtVXRaW3
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuws9HOvww5
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNslCGY0xQb
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiQSaK2T6u
"Huh," I thought of all 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCqMv9LYEy
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5yRtT235D
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuas4GmPiTa
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8jw6usFGy
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloXbOCmOSX
"Come on, Sam," said 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6mAX4DBg5
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MfQvXRwek
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms2CLPFlNY
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ctNt5se0c
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbKCSwcPPP
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDeIqSTnYM
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAefthUeAM
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rBbYB20lm
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCGmHx2gxj
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvZ31k3Ozr
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOSiXfF1K0
"They aren't here," I said.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHReyCjlBn
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC6ne2ZxVe
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4JKNLtsTM
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4wzFZDRb0
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAhIpNpyZU
I nodded my head and we 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OR1AJklfb
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTmWHfnIoX
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCXT1dEgcY
We were in the lobby and1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgUVjV6Ry0
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEDohGFBdH
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfeP3a9Hso
morning.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vtek2yLYM
I first sent Zoey a text1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdQPQf4rai
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ032TywIcB0
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFSidNWjFC
"Hey, what are you looking at?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG7BLzEZwM
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeXAd0weGt
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3UdVNQfGo
"Okay, shall we go?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f3N32L32l
"Ya, sure." I put the phone back in my pocket and I wrapped my arm around his elbow and we walked out of the building.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlauwOwn2E
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeP7V2ACeo
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzaqe1VKcj
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3osxraT7F
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5jgXsm98m
Instead of using any one1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVGbqG6jZL
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5j4ejoPiZ
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ189xpvC4J8
attention, especially from the customers.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl2Ue1AdHY
I had to admit, the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33uZwB571K
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5mAl6DItG
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVNS9jS7yE
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokDdH4sacd
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKdrezsbEw
A smartly dressed 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lgKZLp1Tl
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkLn77tK8U
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn5Dzemc6L
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwPwE0iyw0
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJBYu4E5ao
We were escorted to a 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4MghjrGuC
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLiEnL0lfc
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFisRHh1tGM
TOP pulled a chair for 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ73G3IYUv
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10hkuvNWnp
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RfJ8Lyc8C
beside her.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWzNPpVlsY
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYVQk4B5gF
"Tell me about it," said Christine.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1WfsV7vZT
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70od7xEzaT
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kc1SmAGGw
"So, let's order," said Daesung.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeFjkDagdy
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAfIPStQEv
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIlV0fYPHR
As we were having our 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6YGVKxk5i
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSUe4DGPda
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQFsCm2nCU
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E5sW77xqc
having fun wherever they were.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTslZFm4VAA
While I was having my 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmddYcbuGiP
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB64QJUdiu7
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaAbHF8tqZ
unknown number had sent me a message again.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTp9pLaMiM
I tapped on the message 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwyEuF2ff4
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxsIpUAjh7
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCFsbGMwvt
the next message was more surprising.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpUjcCklFa
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7odfyNfYHi
Anything about what was 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMLzPTLEXS
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0ABNkn7Ce
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqvmVx93Sv
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6SY1H1UTF
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZlGprMaMK
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlQQ5QI3YN
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWL0QHbWWV
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT749qq2E9F
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gKe09Z2Xk
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY5OjVv5qo
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgiRg8U2w8
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtUFmG7lmc
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2AkLGJIuu
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI8cNTOPmP
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrplzCKecmX
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm2LoFnI9C
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhTjEDvh4Q
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P054lVqD3
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGzFmX18XM
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyVjno9ngP
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5prRouHMQ0
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQA7YdYKTU
"Can we please stop 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz73pK8HvAq
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuAyxHnaiI
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf9M7n5i0G
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGxN7kbA5b
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiHAYlsJZN
"No, let me," said 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjmGEBAQZ7
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqr6ffUKpo
allow her to say what she wanted to say.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr6YliuC87
I shook my head at Christine and she leaned back on her seat with a groan. Daniel smiled when I nodded my head to let him go on.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYh9FJW7aB
"Because, Collins gave 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pSNqKdtGf
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKLyIP90Mp
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdjS0OLBts
Never."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUO0im2WyT
There was silence on the1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qFpOqESDr
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZFdgDvehl
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3UbbE0Buv
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtUh0oQQoW
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1rF2G4PaO
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKfEWuYtl3
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx22BKYWgRU
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpvHZHK7Le
"It's serious to 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPnsiMFIKv
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94AnsdJMzB
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRyfAKajs4
babies."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnufvp2na4
That was odd coming out 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolsl0udjEC
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmQ9q69nzV
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDyPV93epB
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdgmEgnyBu
laps.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt1T6P6ftv
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGQeLbGWMi
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhbnVYfmne
I really did. Something 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yZ25Rshsv
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDIUkCuS6d
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gk8TfOmfq
"Excuse me, I'll need to use the rest room," I said as I drew back my chair, stood up and headed straight for the ladies' room.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDcVQ7xcfD
I quickly closed the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96QTe23n5R
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U6Yq8Chgj
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zEhDn4Abm
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEPX1YXv8C
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI1su2FSJ9
I shook my head and I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7GLbweREt
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ncct3cdG
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHwcDaiSzx
supposed to care. But I did.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54HqjORXik
I looked at myself and I1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13BTgzAUa6
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03uuapV3ul
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey8Lzuf1dQ
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6EMqygh0k
things and focus on what's really important.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlj2UtrfSx
I quickly took a deep breath to try and pull myself together. I rinsed my hands, left the room and went back to our table.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPXwnn2Keu
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HXtRt38mp
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQiGcEhL7o
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v5jV1KhFG
I gulped. What had these1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBptRXYLljC
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQD51QNTZb
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg8faeqVzS
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTphO6gZuj
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6avnXfBGpE
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2K7CTNiGA
"And I have been a good girl on my part," said Christine making an invisible drawing of a halo above her head with her finger.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oxvasUURG
While Christine was one 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOUvbq8oi2
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbO6hCVqRL
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90KIQjphl8
worse.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2nvZzIXkH
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlDVpeeWQv
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTtTPreCe0
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ403Z5UJRv5
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuyrmx2ts8
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QwDiiWaZX
I blushed. "Mike!"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUArAmOEf7D
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVfsfI7PaQ
"I've tried kissing 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMaHj5y6at
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUxZZF4PP4
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJOwsGbbPJ
"Uhh, if I were you, I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2BgIDPZC2
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zl0JwppJ1
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlClL5KtLH
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGplIJ7tFlR
regretting it."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr2fBupRST
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUxZUtuBJP
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC78iEXCYS
"Fine, I'll listen to 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjsLVlyO8m
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLgYCHX2SJ
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTaXva32Mi
blushed.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguxpuEdPRE
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxTZScCWld
He was right. We only had a few minutes to get to YG. And Collins was one person who's strict when it comes to time.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQrujwqwfb
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2DNlgpcyS
We got to YG just in 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14mmG9Oz6h
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N4qsQuGeh
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPgr5lVNCh
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws2yGHWo11
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLMqr5ecmx
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5gNkBgFoT
I couldn't help but feel1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxfIqlaFZM
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWMm2CpJgq
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxfJNOIe8F
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZmz63quJ4
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kJuJX60Yw
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdpgNUeU0U
I felt something inside 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RSnNvJCcQ
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmPGWbWSo5
couldn't believe what I was hearing.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ljYyWNMFV
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy59zb190wH
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmvwSnNN5u
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxkym9OpYg
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJxcYTq33I
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD1KUfcMzh
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RrF1KbJrI
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPvgICPO32
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC4Xyl6Hl2
"Then?" TOP asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvxw70hJIa
"I don't know, I went over to get some ice cream for the both of us, and the next thing I know she was gone."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugFfSV7fHs
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJLIqgB68p
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1ANR3Ifps
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ1khdVeoG
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw5RuTDYbt
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaRAb0DeGZ
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jbjt2kodr
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX0yPoeSxL
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN9LIMj3Ct
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUCakku9Qw
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExwkTH97Eu
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgynutMFLG
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW5gZzo4Mt
I couldn't help but 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLsB8wb6mj
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC5WHjd164
not telling us what was really going on?1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXV8FF1IJO
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50ZVbohAjG
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1O5iivR9k
"We've to look for her," said TOP.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIyEcZ5OTe
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9fymz8H2U
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO9UMVlpRp
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjKmub1Qig
"Did someone say my name?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY85eiPbfu
I cringed. He was one 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhh9b4Yqtm
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWAjglMjeW
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJbCbQpv0Y
the music producer.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKqX4CJL2e
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqIGTNnnPI
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDLoQS6erv
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9eb7eGAiO
"Looks like you aren't 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q1KLaY5Kq
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdSQZM9As0
away from us and heading towards the console.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrwfJk1WUP
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWjSRh1NZH
I looked at the others 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaO9htLnbr
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88tZNcv7ir
something or else we would be toast.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvh7lYxfJv
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFUse8EN9S
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVfjfUhWQ3
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx7nnnNEFQ
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpguCZWCBlF
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVeVQ2VKJl
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fgap06vOj
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JMpEsr8wS
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEik76q5Va
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6CNVhC9nb
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWQSOK0acB
Please say yes. I was praying in my heart that Collins would agree. This time I wasn't relying on my eye to do anything.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWsOBL8Uvh
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S5Vh3myPk
Mike and Daniel almost 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYVpz2hOuR
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4hVvbPqlZ
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOHV0xgHbo
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm26NmTQbv
"That's fine," said Taeyang.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2iQhFHyVQ
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXywHcaHCqg
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXjiPqkBiW
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM5zOyXaEx
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI96Qci2MK
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONV1CcP1tr
Christine was doing the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcg2PNlAdN
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxNpVdoHCX
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2eaWAinbp
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XLF851owk
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5O681NU9y
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UYRy7Jdo5
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7VieUcQ3J
I wanted to ask where, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dpxZReoEQ
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVt5yyuF6v
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3dDVGrJu1
music producer soon left.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkslVBzRfl
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwGGbAvPdP
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95MdCibVNZ
"Ya, we should," I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXS4fUUNEI
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUQvUhPmiN
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QUDz5krl3
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27YdPhJSdf
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GVpYra812
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgwz8Ko7v3
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71XfMEFWxk
As soon as we left the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8ZakxR1GZ
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG2j4OHGn1
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFm9FFIwQM
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGI5zfvQrA
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYC5o9TyuP
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6N7zdyj49
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgebnRMd29
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHpu51BUAi
G-Dragon drove away and 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jdkCTVUU9
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ127TzYrhL5
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC4lAIxXWL
"Did you two have some sort of argument?" I asked when we both got out of the car and I went round it to face him.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL6pF1GAKE
"What?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMSslTiL6h
"Did you two argue?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92oGSqiWig
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0tqPwaQD8
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGfPIs8P0x
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z1es5knpa
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d9NSajDVG
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4OxHNwVek
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCn53lmnzT
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDMtRzeWvu
With quick strides, I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR2MYCnNci
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1qiNpaDgD
could look at him directly in his face.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ354gz6TgBg
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpgdmZOPF4
"I want you to tell me the truth."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxOMnTiIPi
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRBGiso50O
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnlIiVjQ0I
G-Dragon chuckled and 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruEO9tkdR8
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhooYjrYNOU
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ5V8IzAa6
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiOKhNsOb2
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfD4cNikk5
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhY5oucn7k
"And how do you know?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskjn6qyZ98
"I'm her best friend. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2Nl9iiF96
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8LJ9TMOIp
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL6PK8vjxD
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPrEIVikYe
"Zoey can't end her 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcYiJqKiGb
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJRtdxYCvv
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9IAjocJnz
you did something."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z0lTz0aeP
"Me?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVojFgjqnRR
"Da! Yes, you!"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjK67elhhM
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86q6BxGZ31
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjtazIhDTc
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8xqIjYWXV
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCAAiPki20
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3d0UuS91H
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYV3yvaMqw
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSWEw0becI
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWI7JyXFF1
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tdFT3nZLf
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC3t8Edk2W
"Ya. Sure."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnyaIKOTFv
"Now, will you please 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsHq5K1WZy
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgioS74eJpP
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIq4nsYStq
interview."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q0U4OsZyM
I didn't say anything, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS2Mmo9gUk
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XuJg2pr4s
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTXHmDl7qh
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGEEiDUj7K
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3tsr2LACt
but nothing.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhjeUixztq
We were already half way into the park and still no sign of Zoey. We were by the lake and I sat down on the grass by the banks.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr78Q3wBSV
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPVnzET7qX
"I'm not," I said as I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMkxTXLfUJ
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL0NQtxrov
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bLLXXSxrR
G-Dragon sat down beside1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAFOSQBICc
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleJUiesyE5
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlzzoje2K8
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEYtUmk90c
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g9Aj8XyAw
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFctsbFrxh
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqLKBLtN6n
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs8mMI002D
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDvHFhtlDE
"You love nature, don't you?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk6HC5oeoj
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwHF4wUBVL
At that moment, I was so1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg2dTiz3RL
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgm054Wx6L
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BpcU7d7rY
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD43Z8ijSky
even the noise around me seemed non existent.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PK8LI9sBb
Then I felt something 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMOS9WLJkk
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYe72a945I
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqnhhqjoMs
was staring at me.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYeZiv8sRm
"What?" I asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaAb4zQ2Cc
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11hOvplPds
I blushed all of the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc1R65Tm4I
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGOZpNE8vh
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UnWxyU4uj
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOu2FVh8jl
I would have said yes to1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FW8In01JZ
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTWcA1oNr3
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByuuKZV3ZY
were never meant to be.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hDcdraJRh
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaeRJloXDQ
"Why?" He asked softly.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht8F2MQks0
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIj43DPdch
"What do you mean?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrIw3I2jRd
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAARAYzjla
"So?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj4pIEyHJE
"I want you to stay far away from me as possible. The further we are apart, the better it is for the both of us."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Az5vq9E4
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYIhfFlafV
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXh7A1pIbW
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVCxUCC2ke
"I know."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoaiXOPmUU
"Then why are you doing this?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYSVkOnbWD
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHeQwBRttI
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcf3qto4n2
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UY2y1ODaV
"You should find another1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9Ffc3G4iz
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeSYjrNYt8
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm42jRAkO11
will never forgive myself."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpJnBZgsj5
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6McgSuZIJc
I wanted to smile but I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFwSsmxRdV
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F2DHfkfPl
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPtXAraoBG
like we had beef with each other.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPHXB9Py1g
Just as I was about to 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenzzqV8XWg
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHMq8AnEd0
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb1IDLUBuR
from his pocket and answered it.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zXvFVsliM
"Hello? Christine?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk3YNeF9sO
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIuC3HKnhP
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCxZ2ZGfvr
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqp5KdBqyl
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0mGzQg8gh
"Where is she?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU8papy20O
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEugTHFOZf
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb6hvdCeYT
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZHvDnC1cM
"Who is she with?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wiR6cR2VQ
"We're about to find out. Let's go."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsugpLJNh4
G-Dragon got up from the1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvZHELXn2l
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNfU1zBgfP
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kdRLDuQJm
When we got in his car, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeJYWpX9wZ
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM3eTk33NN
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX0X0ODg4Y
looked across towards the café.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdWF426zUz
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDPNm6XhMr
Through the huge window,1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7uHRFww9k
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBzCxVxz3O
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRfaNOMnGc
day in the afternoon.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Ce5QAR6q
I searched for Zoey, but1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NZT2PAMxs
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYZEPe2jI9
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡideXp2WXP0
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd5zOuUiY3
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnVS7gQDfj
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTxogwfRaE
"Who is it?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAfPpNyV8O
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI971gSlTCO
"Seriously?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMVJvFU3Ko
"You think I'm kidding?" I turned to look at him. "Or are you now jealous that Zoey is hanging out with someone who isn't you?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOhs6LmX36
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH914rU0jmL
I rolled my eyes and 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTZ8Ldd81a
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57pTiaq3v3
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsFX1APiTK
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsFrHrxTwA
She was sipping her cup 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVvpaCyPT2
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oLBGKXaO1
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4M2iIPNlt
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb6FPkofoK
"Ya."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW7SFZancO
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8YZHzcarx
Zoey's smile made me 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTkyKGaMrP
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSA0PNXRnD
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BDoT7bxfn
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLAdRwEij2
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsSlORdDwZ
I felt a threat coming 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIL2XA6OoH
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AjG6NM6vq
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEWcDVjYnl
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMVbINtuiA
going on in there.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnL8Yx6Czq
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPlJhnYOQW
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj7cS7GxTi
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWpcuOISHS
Just as G-Dragon came 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzWHbTR7II
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiG0VAuGmv
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8t1cRA6lD
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjtyML8i9A
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO5Lnfs2Cv
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GzhO6WdMq
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zkIkQI6hx
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4RNYFsPlt
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirvZUPb6vL
I didn't answer him as I1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnevDS4QkA
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBpPb7B2xj
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSTThDE3ig
managed to reach the café without getting hit.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSTdVeqHv4
When I got to the café, a1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oLwLxmcsf
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssC4OJ2pmy
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwjGTdxneY
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI7kUBSlTq
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULjSxxjlLi
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0rzuCsbB7
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k0rMWKPqG
"Don't you dare try to 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmEjDIATwB
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5cgwlIQS1
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcckeuiq3zP
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv54UPhjizo
"Christine told you where I was?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKieGJfe03E
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfWwgoswtp
I heard the bell of the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7hIwnHRyT
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0BmvNj4ZD
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGL5F1BI4g
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgmYpqnR49
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2lwwv9qSq
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGl5lbbMNP
"Stop taking all this 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSR5mdrvaw
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwFNrGZid3
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKOnGtNteo
The smile on Zoey's face1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT2CkxFA2b
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZGRJftjtp
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn3q5mSZzR
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvGwsaqo2r
ourselves.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPGv8vNQKQ
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7MkAnfIEs
"You're right," I said 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OghL0y3cW
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgYaOZCH1K
attracting so much attention sometimes.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeelhgWoJvL
The others had started 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKDPUivUTi
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFse3tTu5Mj
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN78ygsly0H
about who he was.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt1Zl8WoZ2
After we left the café, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9sw55PeAb
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTxu86v7ka
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6YWOaQXiH
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3whybjtOx
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dfx0uofCM
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy0nOEqFTl
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKykoPQxqC
Zoey and I went in 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44lzC9Ai13
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVPkAReAP2
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBvlheiyGT
We were all back in the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyJ6y3ia79
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbDxyONzxd
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCc6PhWtue
We gathered ourselves in1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBBqzvlxsx
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUkfLU47uZ
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q0WtULKT9
hands on my hips.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6LSPI8JnN
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIEjHgsssY
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeU6QP6YiD
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8GfGW2j9G
"Fine, I tell you," said1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkSEjt9L7R
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBOINpRTat
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs55Y2nB2u
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR3f5fxfUc
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0URgG6qHTF
"No, I don't mind," said1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgy1IP8HNw
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE9KIbDn8L
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOyC4ljD19
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiLN6Sdhvo
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBs6QF4VMs
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSVQ4O3tfH
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulWsQoJ4Da
"As much as that sounds 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTOcHl3xmL
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaepAqeB632
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZD0T9gLL9
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvDIQIKzh1
I started to tap my foot1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdBRhUj5Xv
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7IxM8j9iS
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfnpaid3ch
truth.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuPSKR5DZa
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTMbRne7Ak
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGT7HZrxbH
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFnmgztNSb
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeAXVmvUmY
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ558Go1RYcs
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EMdEvEr5V
"Okay, okay, eish," said1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIB0Nf3ECN
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8cbZZ553V
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGtfkFMCXU
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRrivrtVXt
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKURoZGUyp0
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYX7voL0Sq
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2tVOnw5Ha
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwjp6rHMhG
Zoey was quiet and I still felt that she wasn't telling us the whole truth. I decided to play along and not say a word.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroF8UWjpO6
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TEvPHjMVW
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXk8HAmh8k
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cy1tjzoIS
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJXIJS6LtL
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjLUe6EvNL
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6ZtMrYpvt
"Are you sure?" Daniel 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOPc3kT4gC
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOu6e1NguM
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9QOiRkuCf
haters or even us."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGlqwsNdE7
Daniel was right. Zoey 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLiO9DFZiX
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsnBLgIz3d
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6etNRzpDeP
telling the truth.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS9ldZOe2G
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAXmXD5rqJ
"A very nice guy that 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKyrrOxMlt
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vSpWdJ5qK
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ll5CiGGTu
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxGMDLjgIm
I didn't want to 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5HFBzNNRd
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp1KbN2LeK
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjR55o5yTQ
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2SJw5ziRA
"And not dead," said 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95iCYlUA6r
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjd7udAYCd
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq12c6yJwLb
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM30TD4qMqH
"And you better get 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUBxTcDHie
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED8KTWq84Z
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGLBDO7KQ4
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzpD9Cm25Z
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWehIhM6zO
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2S45o2PMT
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuwRMaOpbn
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUt1SNqXwR
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRbtNl5jzM
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw3on3T96p
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOby8BMzqhi
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKJbrO17oC
One by one the BigBang 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuBrGd6HDZ
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMtrWcR7Tt
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt3rKinCNV
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaPzQcqHmj
When I went in my room, I1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAfejqa7LD
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtec4NctgM
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJseHSurPo
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxro2f8nxYV
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HS5qOGFMb
"About what?" I turned to look at her.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkoQCzbaNG
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGOMyCZgxr
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaa9xo880T
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9uFSPNGHd
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHaAiyCdYg
"Did you see the man's face?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z8ThIwhhN
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd6d7LhtuY
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpRHDaZAV7
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL4rzs88ta
"I bet he is good 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNu6mDaYNg
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsmbOG3pRw
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzDjyXIeYa
told her to?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QeCYzdfin
"Well, I believe her on that part. I'm just wondering how he managed to convince her to come with him. Maybe he threatened her?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeKGbj6vqS
Christine's jaw dropped. "Don't say that. I know there is no any other logical explanation, but I think that's way too far."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVGSPl3JS6
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jwsZjGNnZ
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARbzyKYRWQ
"That we have to find out."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzfGvTT8bA
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzNXBECC14
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZy0AiOdCH
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u64wSYB23
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayVoGLIcgk
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc45anAzLBv
Oh my. Had he told her 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7exA5Yhpns
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal0dQX2eoE
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3XXaogaCu
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f1KJJDgAO
"What did you talk about?" I asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4RuiHQNGy
"He was just pissed that1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBtFTEQpYM
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TDdCNf085
that might have upset me or something."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRrKpmFUMn
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna5Bqp8I4O
"But he didn't."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OmIFnCX3D
"I see why Sam asked," 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdQ7hZBydV
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVwf1Sv8CZ
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC1oJoBWHs
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aQT3SrBM1
And I hope it will never1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjODyFc6kp
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRDztIfbKT
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YbmmvZLvd
was yet to come at any moment.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuf4Ud8Owb
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe1phYH1B0
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz3vjp6YKX
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJGqlL5HMw
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BYmNwB79T
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL2lO5HbWc
Christine, Zoey and I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgX0Y0mxe3
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyQedAbDCe
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMenyCqyWYU
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHNnkKt4WP
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQxeY8uA5B
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknffEhTZ60
"Yes, he is," said Lee 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7MrOs3FTB
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev3eQpQsxB
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOE4twFxVR
well."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViNAZz75DO
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWinDa43mCA
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p0bcq1nVQ
"As I was saying," said Lee. "We were in the lobby when we received a package from the receptionist. Said it was for you guys."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSmmKpuEay
"Us?" I asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiNVOJw9K7
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgVIpeSVWl
Christine and I rushed 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhyOrqbZuU
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDPIujAts4
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUASdhW0Rd
hand.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7g482JGmJ
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFrkKtwQWR
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4bDdD7miQ
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHFMF8hQwc
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc81bCfqD5
The package was wrapped in a brown wrapper and on top of it was a white envelope. It was directed to us just as Lee said.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4ytn0z6Uz
I took the letter and 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXtckePj3q
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV4odwZv23
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIMKN3mImH
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop82GpBKyn
"That's it?" Mike asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawxpnMxkru
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK8m4NVds6
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9Nah6kIEF
"All that the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzrs6gnesv
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFu5zABaF6
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7OpEa73YC
My eyes went wide and my1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmbmS158Ao
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWj0mOYcMx
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuRD6zBc6i
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUbSojwE0K
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl6WYiplJy
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn8Kw0dXRN
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNcSXC8pzN
We did know him all right. The man who had been with Zoey. But who really was this guy? And this package? What could be in it?1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SUi0oJbww
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bkinePfKC
Christine threw Daniel 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCBALvZtc8
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQjlSBxN5R
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKON0mtZCD
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWyYOTmzjn
person you barely even knew.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuSYCiPxri
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDYzoANlVi
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjT9W5xcmX
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHZTtjgxvB
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPWB19MLIS
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBj5m0pjzL
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT3JGSQVmS
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfEkzZAdSR
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKjSRF0ABk
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bnM4h5lgt
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqt7FtS0MG
"Okay, but take your 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFknj1Czdx2
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnxoAhtjjF
last prayers before I leave this earth."1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0aoiYGdvS
I rolled my eyes but I 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcTp8fGQeT
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9gyUQiDc9
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wlIxvg6QJ
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYwfxkax89
The other three couldn't1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u06XoKvSr
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2greEF3G0
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVtpdkPYPw
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdec3yBYQm
nothing happened.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUZNhuodeZ
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP30SL3M7SH
"What is it?" Christine asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyTzD0dhRA
I looked up at the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbJURzDcQZ
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDU7imYVNX
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXAJbQlbqj
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiUcAp9uQ3
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGYMuw5Nv9
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqLhoksqs0
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFrIUNJGeP
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQUHU0rpA3
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDIOPDW9lO
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU38LahdBd
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAvnIEnGMy
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdYSBcDH8R
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdscXjR5u2r
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViYag5e4M1
It was then that Zoey 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2tV3LZyOG
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b2H9TMHpY
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7muEomdOZS
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9lfJif8nC
stranger who she was with today that sent it.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kZ4rgDDal
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjanZMmoHd
"Zoey will tell you all about it," I said. "I believe this is yours." I gave the teddy bear to Zoey who held it in her hand.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtdsNNPIGw
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamaq5E1ZjY
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCScOcKzuh
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3tldd4mO4
This time, they laughed 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtm8ErI3Fn
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHWfMH5i0K
had feared for our lives and it was for no good reason. I saw the 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGM3lTpzEx
reason to laugh along as well. Who knows what the future might hold? You1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD61LEuSYT
could die at any given day. We were just glad to be alive and laughing.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKTJIpcP0b
"Stop it, guys," said Zoey with a frown. "This isn't funny." Lee just shook her head in disbelief.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQWczYqiKx
"You brought this on yourself, not us," said Mike.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LmyU7GfKD
"What's with all the laughing?" Collins asked as he came into the lounge.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiUtrtbxja
Zoey held up the bear 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHwcgzWJBj
for Collins to see. It was such a funny site given that Zoey looked like1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyUJalJBbl
she was about to cry and she held the bear's little arm in between her 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7EjyM1Hf1
fingers that it was dangling in midair. That sent us into another wave 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpx544oh6x
of laughter. This time, Mike and Christine were on the floor and Daniel 1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUjQRnUGw9
fell right beside me on the couch. I laughed so hard my stomach ached.1008Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyX2mv9Ulj
And surprisingly, Collins laughed too.
