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.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6P9mty9Cx
I had never been this 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyrbvBIiNg
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevRRPWqNTl
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbps7jmdLQ
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuCE3LcC9f
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLJbFnFYsh
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hFl4qa68r
"Sam!"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hfmyoCoTY
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UkpaWv43j
Zoey came out of the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7RmoGYUFa
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OGuCSgisZ
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlE36vlf01
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUEkuD647h
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMMLld0bx5
"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."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUN0ElrAaB
"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.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp0nfsZ4cw
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoPas2cbES
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfwhkRbJl6
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzzOazaqGn
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwjSvdIx7i
I ignored her and said, 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByj4tSXSbP
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNhh1jKc5Q
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dQp2kz9g9
"What time is it?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcfl3tisMw
"10:35."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nrvDj3N3B
"Wow, time really passes by."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMLn9F3Z8C
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd9Gasy2sz
"Let me go get my phone."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurR4szZOOl
Zoey rushed back to the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJiJSJVSRI
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UbvZ3MffF
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPGl7TMF9o
that was Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXxLFznOp0
I soon received a 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIiDOO8Wn3
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEIsit8oZx
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWHvsQPpba
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN0AfuK03u
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvryWsmvnQ
"I'm coming."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvvsZeyk2g
I started heading 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs8MfzcHE5
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCQDGZgRm9
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1w9f5PbCW
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZLOE2xhQI
number. A number coming from another country.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY7LKU1ImO
"Oh, who is this?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8NOtSaxzx
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF321b3mle
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw7l8oFIaC
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYwKVEMziB
"Come on, we're already late."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8o0pZiuNd
We went into the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yuVDuCOEm
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeiknEmSu1
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb030Sv4dd
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkQpbmZAYS
When we got to YG, 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR9rWKSjd1
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGZJxnFYFD
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfOr366frv
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTikDfrms5a
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM3z1YNerj
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMHV4MG6MA
Zoey held her earlobes 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r2U0zlKF8
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfYZUu7BDw
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCEBMmI7WD
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTLprQRcn2
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tEl8ylOX6
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XiWTcIMKn
"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.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzGFDavMOy
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5mDh5DJvK
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyM916e1EC
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwOuncovDA
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYaXLMogW2
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnbT0eabJc
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjfMVMmpCq
"Then let's do so," said1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZPHnF8TG5
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtI7CBd9Mb
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZbu14nrVJ
I had completely forgot 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbslw9X1OHh
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxfMiOSZJS
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86FG1bBxIx
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeWSpzYeMq
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYLEgbRfWi
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2wyC3xqKZ
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5fiWXJoGb
In the live room, there 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI3yzauV1M
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOuKGXAzCR
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbslEdgAINi
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXR0nohsLj
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZtQXxrB49
I looked at the others 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZa6BulNv5
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzuVtrd3h8
producer started to play the tune for the song.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJZ9fHArUC
G-Dragon started to sing1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKgFLJGsFi
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bz5ygBBsd
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPGOvxHkw2
to let them sing the first verse together.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCnVK3lA8w
Collins, the music 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzQNmHIYsX
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZqSM3Trgs
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNF2pI33Uw
Christine then sang the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBH9ABPLQn
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpA1oIOgGH
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeNlAWKIVV
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatwH3cOzax
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I2HiphY18
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuY0xcAU3k
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."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLTh440QyR
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpNSaCjS2t
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S7w6rFHkO
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGq1zZalNF
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuleoHAkeIf
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B76nlzbGs
"You may," said Collins,1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmeRC1zSVh
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QxEB5j9Jh
You have to work on the backup vocals."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2gpXumOFh
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcDQlTqlic
If I hadn't known 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbGzON4b7e
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGeqhFOKSi
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yqGQzk7ly
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlo6Es03xf
hollow inside.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5L3XsQ2LA
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhZfGWqY2M
We continued recording 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3hC0VRriV
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae0BstzLrE
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQDNtTyJf6
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaznZpCXkOn
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXbK21ciNL
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHPSmXJHz2
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkH89L08HI
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1krmFuAuh
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbETUvjBYoa
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeV5npA251
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalEgFGWDwG
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytM7ogWSOG
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UmhkF7eqP
"But be back within an hour."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYR5s1Z8ZT
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0sGhn5zSI
"Fine, an hour and a half."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9OVjuWPbA
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBPb6VL22G
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvhglUtRWo
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPtPlrhV52
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFwf0ecndI
"That, my friend," said 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk369jMcwn
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv57MIsxTpA
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSyImpQIgt
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc69FpYpxVF
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZO3LK3mrq
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh26IEJbTj
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRxIFMChLv
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZKjUBiVin
"Whenever you want us to1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1KdwqE2oZ
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ApUJzTvQT
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jIZ4Q6ule
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtxdnL3CRm
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwssWci3lUM
"Huh," I thought of all 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5k5BCby1o
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC3ZdUrATE
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FMJ3PuPll
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVEy4deoc3
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ0rY5zTWX
"Come on, Sam," said 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOB5CXBU2F
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZEUxBpA9k
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqdN8Np8I0
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyvlfX7KkD
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLwWP6r4D4
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JR6Kz2yGy
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTtGj7DGjJ
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73FNTIdJ6I
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJZIcR6833
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceUG4IZkiN
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCyIw7qdE9
"They aren't here," I said.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5LQV3m0lm
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaultvcbeSl
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhORP7YCQ4
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPGCsx8Ls8
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr57jecEmFA
I nodded my head and we 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnlSb2L3uZ
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTeS3iX0JF
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRV9CykmNs
We were in the lobby and1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk9WOXJvyn
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e6WqmYkp2
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7BOdHhD6I
morning.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE0M9tDRxx
I first sent Zoey a text1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTGJWXPQuo
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURICgiFWz9
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjlFPhqvDN
"Hey, what are you looking at?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cyjX9sU34
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7EmyCMXyE
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26c2S6qWUO
"Okay, shall we go?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub1mkJCQM0
"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.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NEEKkAoTH
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR8w51VR4r
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqHHYSpVCU
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtVYXvBO5w
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX7OeXpFQm
Instead of using any one1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsVWNKxlsI
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMgE6kFzMW
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3adhNK5mXW
attention, especially from the customers.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEo7LkPyZr
I had to admit, the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1fyo83zBg
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfUmPHbSi5
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsT5vbK3y4
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQREwCg3pvT
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61CFomDvg5
A smartly dressed 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCzsxTtq3U
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSNrdizSQ8
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixAQy52KwF
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRWXTmbJBA
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfn5CzUNbJ
We were escorted to a 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVXLpomX5k
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSte7DvdzUQ
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNjtyent8c
TOP pulled a chair for 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXQ6bIwYZo
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPaTS0ZDv4
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtmbvWgePr
beside her.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLNwPUap31
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyIwBX4mrN
"Tell me about it," said Christine.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLt7gUSPfj
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4LZWk3PZR
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMzUap7zeZ
"So, let's order," said Daesung.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhjM7Abb4B
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA2Ugar89D
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdD0sAocid
As we were having our 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j5GvLdM8d
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVibMoF27d
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB07SPpiNO1
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB1hbLBgAB
having fun wherever they were.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L7MOgmBMV
While I was having my 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wc45EUNAZ
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmkf8rhOcM
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP8KRdWaRi
unknown number had sent me a message again.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeDjoXbl3Y
I tapped on the message 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmnqyhwVEP
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTle8W9vdQ
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PlBejq9KP
the next message was more surprising.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx2kMc11nX
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZTFMVBOj0
Anything about what was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrTOm6fluB
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6bxGjVFbM
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiaQ3yIcsV
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AUQxHjaf7
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8PK0XDsRK
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcHEk53dUs
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEkrRnrjGZ
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXSTHrpfA7
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxolBMN2wFL
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtGzZQOFAT
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxlGBSeFPB
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjyl9WI8T6
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GZ7pRVT0O
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwJEgbwT12
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0rEB8rToY
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0jWBmP1Wq
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez6weSE6oI
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tt1af2N99
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7xZgiZD2a
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNGmmQw3WO
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk0QKBXnlT
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVVgcbFPxT
"Can we please stop 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisFtKuP6fT
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgGU6ePqCR
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVpk76ShGJ
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbejgbEmrM
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjns623P0t
"No, let me," said 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5S5tVC1KT
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7mRV9KK9X
allow her to say what she wanted to say.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWRPHMnFnv
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.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsJJfZwYmH
"Because, Collins gave 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKU3HHYRTN
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaGZRkR6y1
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNydXv6zNu
Never."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw2RTlvZmW
There was silence on the1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWI3lsUw48
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsosciZQywp
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bqPqm2zH1
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAp4qjwpub
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzucNpCKmH
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVavP5AgD2
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV2zwii24F
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOuot0kGb2
"It's serious to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhqzdthSLN
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cga2MlQSY
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oObauPw0R
babies."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtTwXg54yl
That was odd coming out 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgJkCKjuur
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQr6ql9y7M
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhqT8fLxcE
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqOZQMYcqw
laps.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefEuUDzJSv
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIJWpLGn6x
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb04NjYgT6
I really did. Something 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTCjGbbjl5
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLvESXTOrx
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LuQUYefk1
"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.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbR64n76YK
I quickly closed the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8qGnRLNRY
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHugT0UjEy
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2lcjos9wy
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtonC7No0jA
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0jCPSYurR
I shook my head and I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DGiNhK2WP
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxG6gaa1J0
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtXUnRxoeU
supposed to care. But I did.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE40AQAGZ7
I looked at myself and I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX0LeYEeLB
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrZxRHh1Mi
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrvdO05gp4
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJDFXssewN
things and focus on what's really important.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH97uLJAWR6
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.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV1T3NFavn
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicvoyhr9le
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeBeSSQG34
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTnxZgEeRm
I gulped. What had these1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrbyJL3OuU
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUhyGGrUkm
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9q5HYG306
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYDGjgbwAA
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMrNhjhNuM
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC5YpQ7jhM
"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.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKFwTviPXD
While Christine was one 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUXCy1mvd9
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBekqOAMfE9
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLweHIhBbT3
worse.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4MHaIi9Cx
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6LUszQPzQ
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oFTxZmxJH
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzxn3ogv5k
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OsA1KQ6sl
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yEceIS8gM
I blushed. "Mike!"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdrQJ3irdH
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ466y7GTHhF
"I've tried kissing 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwIlrKWl6Q
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvcA8ze2s0
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBct03BIO69
"Uhh, if I were you, I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Wtnp3mTtE
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzHqlLKaYh
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXjaeAeFmz
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrovMaBThfh
regretting it."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKgVIDiyKy
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBe8GidCdD
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXLBa8YPsO
"Fine, I'll listen to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9kziBYUMn
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW33dkwTKW
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tR4koreWm
blushed.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7d5X61Eim
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BRU9rAra2
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.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0knMpNDc7
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaiAriAcyV
We got to YG just in 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcy5qLCNFM
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDB2fEI4V8
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn7g2pUiLh
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKGJKpxYKM
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIGHcTPAuM
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7om3uaWhKj
I couldn't help but feel1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWjdqGMJjT
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkUQXTaZm7
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11hw52poG4
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYFxSmK48g
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPipplWjA1
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpNMIB43ZK
I felt something inside 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oZL8hYVOZ
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZlCgeOi6Y
couldn't believe what I was hearing.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyC6qqr4Xp
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoqozaWGPo
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AfEPDkWc8
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKizzo4ReYP
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEnovj7wMk
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiQRWwg2CY
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4iYnNsdTF
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf04njJ0vBz
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NwN25YloK
"Then?" TOP asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZnGcqQUoF
"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."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB8Qpzifgg
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQLdutQCst
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFbA2wrbUv
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUhaQ2bBEm
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuhsZHzq84
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye2Wtj0Zan
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BbclRX1Vt
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AjRs4W8Yy
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwSZnkTGMK
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacLGV2dCtl
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29GZtplp8g
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LUnBRpyRh
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnVX25pni9
I couldn't help but 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmGYqpWUep
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQjoxjGVvJ
not telling us what was really going on?1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2C91X1Q1d
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Oo9aFM3pj
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjHw66FM3S
"We've to look for her," said TOP.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlPkfcjQp6
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uHRsiti12
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Md3ZP8V4
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVbAFKXxv4
"Did someone say my name?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSOz0z873g
I cringed. He was one 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWpZwZSPqx
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3wGXZtJR8
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDunhngNS76
the music producer.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IPYDSD1QB
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvdLxQKCen
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnHT2QCUM7
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2LKxbdbTe
"Looks like you aren't 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZPcymC7e1
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNO85gCrLE
away from us and heading towards the console.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4YSmiU8fm
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mv56NSNmQ
I looked at the others 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NjfdG9LKY
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH1F2ybtUD
something or else we would be toast.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nIME5RMCC
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhVEIjplDf
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0cHJjLq91
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK49AzzrUy
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNSIDLacWU
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5tCT4bIrb
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡailTPhv14J
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEgJhoQw55
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOViDHtBdlR
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGDgbM1GkM
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLwLkdEywA
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.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEyRAVgDrp
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbnFaucKXE
Mike and Daniel almost 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqzW2z9tBL
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJppg53jmz
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEurxc33S0K
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkIE30m5ge
"That's fine," said Taeyang.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡystZyMGpLx
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqL4p4jmqj
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkStYY1TSsw
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT4CWpu2NL
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfTsbycGwC
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4PEuRfQ1m
Christine was doing the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ115R7MiNrC
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRMF92cpWq
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jSSygsHMD
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt17sVfEc31
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAdtjdRaq3
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64KJ3Buo47
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyyc4Pb8Y7
I wanted to ask where, 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcel8IQ7Qc
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVPiBu6QSU
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn22hu8Av1
music producer soon left.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF12ZgFSk7l
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhmJkyBDrk
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03x2FKev5a
"Ya, we should," I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8vrpiDeCQ
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4ygbkPHoX
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7j0rHmSFu
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa2zGhCMHs
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdp0jU76EU
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxQAiBukXp
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsMQGbyXnr
As soon as we left the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR36S7kaGP
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfkwVeRf1T
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XTlbJ3BLf
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfX1O3Iszk
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFtYenx1Ea
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTNgyPjymj
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04x4P0xh82
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjYQfp7aVG
G-Dragon drove away and 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpJvLGlpr4
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVT51v19XQ
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibD5NHtuiL
"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.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEDZc2o1t6
"What?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yLmMaZIwv
"Did you two argue?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkwFjsiall
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBtJMlpX55
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0ED3Y2ABy
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y8s9HOkpn
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHi5efnuNq
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJjeMoiHVh
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGgoiG4Ie5
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHliLwPCjLM
With quick strides, I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ghWCHEWb8
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB0AWgiPTt
could look at him directly in his face.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCptUIWuUk
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQV9fTKlGo
"I want you to tell me the truth."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoPa9RJrIN
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6br5J6xp0
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcOLxWyxfy
G-Dragon chuckled and 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc8KHZgQVt
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnBhf8zVfx
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT9tYSZLpa
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoScMB0Krn9
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPMDDSRHjS
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8iyzYjTtB
"And how do you know?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt4BZYvHeo
"I'm her best friend. 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu40KxvEJjn
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShnKZrlC5N
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnFVDTkb9Y
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI0cnVrUYS
"Zoey can't end her 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhmCmAVbFx
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAR1Lsb0ux
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5inkfcmZzA
you did something."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXCGJd7tVK
"Me?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvxCztcz7P
"Da! Yes, you!"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rp5AGS8Xo
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebJDijlVXk
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP5IxDWIZn
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP4gdllevk
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4Z9zqWTVh
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbSQ97r7jn
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksXD3MXiPh
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBNEW5Huq5
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kr9Wr7v7Q
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSnTEG728a
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRbedFUhZ5
"Ya. Sure."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmx5Gb1GOg
"Now, will you please 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYS23LkoU9
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62hLNzi3Lx
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8EZhSgpta
interview."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllX66NgK52
I didn't say anything, 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK9VmcVbhs
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwEb39VjwP
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknR2pRGgIh
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx4jUYoM0V
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQyWJ5lAoj
but nothing.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrY5zECdqu
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.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5j9opzorl
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLy03l00jj
"I'm not," I said as I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMiUofzdlX
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GUrVDjEKq
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZJIGJYbiM
G-Dragon sat down beside1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xKanSROaA
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrIJ7SvbMX
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpRfyn4Xp4
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiZ3ihRhYE
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglC3mSxHK0
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D8rkGglHg
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxkhP2IExE
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQgflQYS5h
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctiFgWTGet
"You love nature, don't you?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapdk7IYhOT
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KwbpxDeXF
At that moment, I was so1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrdcmzjz1I
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS9qv1OxR9
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjshK9KKr6
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA8Ss8ZWtc
even the noise around me seemed non existent.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWtSHEFZ0y
Then I felt something 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMJsg8Qqu6
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpFfOUgKtL
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHYDRHLbSW
was staring at me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFA4AKIwAT
"What?" I asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyQ1uot5Uw
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOtcAPIvwE
I blushed all of the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP7689OZAV
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH4vOutlVs
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj9Z9NXr3m
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSsyzmf68c
I would have said yes to1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS5roa1ts5
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq87THZK4su
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLJgJOaDFG
were never meant to be.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcLap3TO2K
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaUhtSILEt
"Why?" He asked softly.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5CUsD4L1P
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDheyrLXfh
"What do you mean?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zwAzZHw5B
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLEQft4foJ
"So?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjStnqunPL
"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."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufWN61hWIW
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YhbP2hGwe
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jdagxGCQQ
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48hRYiqKY0
"I know."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AMDq31JGo
"Then why are you doing this?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBSgYZpbHJ
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9Gn8f2YT3
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ1eDnFJ7W
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83lU614sXo
"You should find another1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcb2lC9Sfa
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlkFgnOAOm
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdjkZAX7m9
will never forgive myself."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfelrAOWUYu
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e5oFZJJkj
I wanted to smile but I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL7oFrIrH3
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZz5vdSeiB
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtFRNiPTIp
like we had beef with each other.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxB3fNsvCD
Just as I was about to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HeUTp8qFZ
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhbPWCSEy9
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4WzcP6Y9D
from his pocket and answered it.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuEU7I6Vae
"Hello? Christine?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPsoiMGclw
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4NIffI4Ap
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwpSEghAxN
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFYhWgvp0C
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySu2m0Gwyt
"Where is she?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDWUURf8ZW
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoMxzVKiHt
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXuZS7Mdgm
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhNM5A98Q6
"Who is she with?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe5eqlRWkq
"We're about to find out. Let's go."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq8VKzteOC
G-Dragon got up from the1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZH8kp798k
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XQKgmN5w8
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIjOqTAsVN
When we got in his car, 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X2ZW6wPlH
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoM4tsP2lo
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWUHJ6Vgrq
looked across towards the café.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVjqgh1tcr
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcah0sx3I8
Through the huge window,1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8GVjdRxuC
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkzpGIRduD
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5iHkoh9US
day in the afternoon.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uGDQhoi4b
I searched for Zoey, but1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2qNhb7yrS
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoS6zSrsUa
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagSjqX3iFu
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJZs8hxikN
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47YNj7qzbT
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75o0MY5hSe
"Who is it?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76WVM6EeFf
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkPa8vnlqW
"Seriously?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC5JgU1xwg
"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?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJdIu9z37L
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEEE37I4LN
I rolled my eyes and 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OTnTBNqcw
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRevNGp7fvr
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JAI4QpoOS
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrP0ltGbHL
She was sipping her cup 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhdG7TiBJ7
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcarwlyzRik
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGBbpCpK74
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGeqJ4mPy1
"Ya."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWcyDXtqkb
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7keFBaEsn
Zoey's smile made me 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoojMVJRoM3
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNiAixX5GC
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RNcbkamrE
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FReCMtSrp
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj537B6tan
I felt a threat coming 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbGs2z6pV0
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKYpXBtVtf
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vCZ4tEZZS
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIsNEosYcz
going on in there.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDLDG6HcrF
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0afxboB8G
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1l8DyqBfp
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnyKhe9taC
Just as G-Dragon came 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp78Rx4Boqp
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF086hWcgRN
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZGzeWwEwF
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY1LGs4Rm6
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGyh0a3BQV
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznboHFg8dQ
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyql0uxRie
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7NKeWjiwF
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRReeN25f33
I didn't answer him as I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6J36EuDfT
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkTtGL9QJv
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhp7WR201i
managed to reach the café without getting hit.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl8NyMYGpT
When I got to the café, a1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGNr7LlyV8
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcnnD7GLcm
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVevEocz1Z
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3zwDpEB38
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c3wG7IUGM
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgGEp1DAah
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iNEeAEOjN
"Don't you dare try to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj23Dqd3Hg
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLIuQynyC5
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CARive0Ma
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVRlv8RWvo
"Christine told you where I was?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqthBBhlVw
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaEv2EDfbE
I heard the bell of the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdT1rbh39A
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFn2cN5mqw
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI41p947VAF
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3KaTJTjQl
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH18URPTHT4
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSLwMYUs9m
"Stop taking all this 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg5v6KGDcD
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JdfkyLrGN
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eZJ0bKzFt
The smile on Zoey's face1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvul0JIs3W
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSDiSkhSOp
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86DLzqYKvk
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgeQAfPpDm
ourselves.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPHeYWBthM
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTdTVw6j6U
"You're right," I said 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t9ybVydBH
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfrASgEKxZ
attracting so much attention sometimes.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEX20xuVa5
The others had started 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2cCpfv0x4
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW4tFeT4Hj
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjZrwscVt8
about who he was.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcgpB5of4t
After we left the café, 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ4Ubqa6ks
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD72xSs1du
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qzil5ZAXV
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OrhN0pRNM
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIHIog6U2K
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmWTF7qVOb
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OCCppa95R
Zoey and I went in 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkb1VEtl77
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WIVv0qf23
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcnIvmzkiL
We were all back in the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDszj5SNn0b
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo7wzR30U1
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyTUR4btrX
We gathered ourselves in1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJhjsi1iAp
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kbc0dS3RH
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmUNg1P5X3
hands on my hips.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBXS4Q3eDd
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcxVSA6tmB
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5YGSvHLgF
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC1LuMwhkA
"Fine, I tell you," said1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc1HnMOKg5
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M2UMkU6o2
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmbOVI85PD
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Q1WO48mCh
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWu54Ox1kW
"No, I don't mind," said1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpbgHIP8We
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNgDoqlzLC
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiCjEc5P3l
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla7hDlwHfz
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwGzdcBc3M
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcJ5xmKJeu
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4LXGFdLJj
"As much as that sounds 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLCEqYwK5J
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOutOyaHr6J
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviUBpOTz9j
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHgJeHMUPM
I started to tap my foot1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdl7DwoFSQ
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWjGIBmmC9
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwIi6YqKwU
truth.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMg5ELnT7z
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGPAZM5tuM
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLNbPRybvg
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesDxGqbJdW
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3nafw47iZ
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNr1pjr2jF
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujkFKaW12J
"Okay, okay, eish," said1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0OmcwvEFj
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78tO4p0l2c
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTR5CInGTj
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNmYoBJXq5
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5egEMXy1UM
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7czfMR2yfY
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMxjvgggFN
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z0rqtUVMQ
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.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62gYQ9gfj9
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsEGPi6fdK
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUNEgDgDcH
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E5TTc7QdE
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmbW0c7QKz
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlndhDdpeJ
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl6WmUgX7Y
"Are you sure?" Daniel 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PvVOfY8a7
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC5tegGzYr
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡild5ERQxQC
haters or even us."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYh1bsUsiE
Daniel was right. Zoey 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfQ6WZ4E0K
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2iz41Bs8H
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjpUEWhm1m
telling the truth.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuECYeqNQqU
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FsYTjtCJR
"A very nice guy that 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeRJJwaXET
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGtWHkWU71
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1xPQaRHIl
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lc32TxrBR
I didn't want to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR8J3PXICK
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY60jN5Wnq
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhz9iGM11S
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraovHofmE6
"And not dead," said 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYFNU4qMVR
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeZEerQo0q
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTj42wua5l
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudPUozBGlL
"And you better get 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfrk7So92G
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaA3IKtuyW
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThKBXlwFBv
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmRkNSpZI8
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9YueTxQqx
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rq1jj43R1
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFbLJZKFfP
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVWsO9LZpj
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTo8IHS8RB
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNvC0EzQ3O
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T1tHjwx3P
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfWN11D4r3
One by one the BigBang 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pAlEsowXC
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GIu1Q3wWg
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NSFG8688o
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fckQgL0Br
When I went in my room, I1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSQanQVLkl
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP0QK1PddK
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8FeVISbX1
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J9nA5rVFd
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rBJ8wC9go
"About what?" I turned to look at her.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkQHOcXNSW
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYCT7PAsAG
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ4aoHNawy
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RcFxndvhl
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGWLAnovyg
"Did you see the man's face?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7zANsgq4G
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05kttU2vRW
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCyB9JRlRd
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEaFPzS5Q1
"I bet he is good 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9uzeKXBbw
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR6QRRE7N2
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iLTXZCUE9
told her to?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7pInxc4B9
"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?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxAyZD0wmn
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."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt7atkPc1z
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECVR8HXw1K
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJJHw9iGpY
"That we have to find out."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g6atVMdyq
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJUhTWx00h
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSDUIJEd6t
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNToRos8m0L
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mFFxRWFft
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcXpvKZ8hN
Oh my. Had he told her 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHqohqs1i4
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb03ZPMTl5
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WicdrnB7r
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0ofmyqpRn
"What did you talk about?" I asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC1x616Dfq
"He was just pissed that1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hkdK9JEau
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu02dx2YoHu
that might have upset me or something."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TzHt3aD5G
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5vajOYDyA
"But he didn't."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSl6ACJftV
"I see why Sam asked," 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVg6GshFVW
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhArxwId3yr
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MEtGGGowR
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6OK79g4Ax
And I hope it will never1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCdRzkps4z
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFvWPT1akZ
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUIMafJYm8
was yet to come at any moment.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qj5wF8se0
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t1SSYGUtT
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbz7kw9RqZ
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYUBrZCvRV
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOhyG2uwxW
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5sSdUsmB3
Christine, Zoey and I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAX0PwX8WL
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzqxp1tPSi
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KDqMRtSsU
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe1iEJpD9N
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrg93x7SKz
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzzMBeQ1dq
"Yes, he is," said Lee 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYwnRZn6AQ
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN1vl9Xeyl
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FFZHY2XbM
well."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRYDHEF28D
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1m06Np0iQ
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIXVTbbxzt
"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."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVn7B7bHzz
"Us?" I asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtUYXxaynF
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkvyfeWzs7
Christine and I rushed 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFaZ2qPaMN
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQOCEZgMxG
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76AThwx8AQ
hand.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv8ljAq69k
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcSpJf33cg
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3wZMoxzF4
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT92z21RU9
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuCYKrib6b
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.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2INNzT4Y8
I took the letter and 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQaux3A93c
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iHOFpJ3Sa
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7BBkF7Ot7
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml588VvmZD
"That's it?" Mike asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jxtZS5skM
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDLuqaH7Zu
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBFog8xJCT
"All that the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFSt3FewiY
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQDARC5rHo
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAYwAtYMxb
My eyes went wide and my1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CMN6TDm8X
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22XxTQSFBK
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVN9ihkOMi
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8vMLLI2ZJ
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvCnTOjxCz
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtmZK2y3Af
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepyik6xld6
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?1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBuz8BmAX8
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxKao3lyrw
Christine threw Daniel 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE3JGovRK7
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpwcyUl1Dz
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUWrNzSMsj
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK9pIjbCTq
person you barely even knew.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G1vL9Yjna
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB60L3shpuI
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY2La93ZgC
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr5kXzGyDG
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymXkyFvn9Q
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslGGyCdRqP
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcrk9YbT7M
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4V0IQSjze
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMBHJ1SMrJ
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV51APirEJ
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaQRMItPpZ
"Okay, but take your 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqIajuuLqy
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkQwpc4J0p
last prayers before I leave this earth."1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme25HB3WT1
I rolled my eyes but I 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL4GTemBYU
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6MqL04kWN
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCx5YWwKmq
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQtaXIOtFj
The other three couldn't1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExFO8JTGBh
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PvOfDPQAo
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ012GvZKYES
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWR0dxruP8
nothing happened.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigSgCOPsd4
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc8JOfXyVd
"What is it?" Christine asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLomVnZP5M
I looked up at the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tgu6eveCZ
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSNgPnphah
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4pWLCnHOJ
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPAJbiOelz
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT187eR51Mb
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQEYQHOT3V
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9sjLMXE39
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW7Hv5oxPt
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8coBAvH689
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxQkDZyQQY
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgkGkjic8b
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y8qZjBRAo
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTb71WnZfR
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGWCrSmB9E
It was then that Zoey 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimTGhjigVO
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLqxkCp2l0
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhVorlZn7S
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51P6xBkZ1j
stranger who she was with today that sent it.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNl6uG4YNH
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QnGCclfmj
"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.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHkVjTLnBu
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiS8bi2N16
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXrIQL10Z1
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZby6wLGakg
This time, they laughed 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVhUSmnqMy
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTosvqkaR9k
had feared for our lives and it was for no good reason. I saw the 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRUuASUEon
reason to laugh along as well. Who knows what the future might hold? You1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEZ7HxmEYu
could die at any given day. We were just glad to be alive and laughing.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpiG74zv4O
"Stop it, guys," said Zoey with a frown. "This isn't funny." Lee just shook her head in disbelief.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHrTKanNwV
"You brought this on yourself, not us," said Mike.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwICWGuDv0L
"What's with all the laughing?" Collins asked as he came into the lounge.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj0yRK82Lm
Zoey held up the bear 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLnpR7xG6D
for Collins to see. It was such a funny site given that Zoey looked like1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhNiwSZvtu
she was about to cry and she held the bear's little arm in between her 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOtwZFjxDp
fingers that it was dangling in midair. That sent us into another wave 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK1UjuEAyb
of laughter. This time, Mike and Christine were on the floor and Daniel 1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHoGEU76oG
fell right beside me on the couch. I laughed so hard my stomach ached.1039Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7oGXfk6f9
And surprisingly, Collins laughed too.
