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.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB7y90vdsG
I had never been this 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLADHdrTUYQ
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQsry7nq1v
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHxz1BpCwZ
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTskZTtHcM7
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWYYXnkF9G
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwjeU4wWob
"Sam!"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbNBxxOMcd
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0jAk5VRDd
Zoey came out of the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxYXzwQ86j
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqRGnPfXl7
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6axWGyMOlL
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSPZPX8JLG
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TVMqUBPte
"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."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjZsxm3kSc
"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.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28TXj6i2Q0
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp6iMApv5v
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GOtHagWDw
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCXDcnhhE8
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptmARtOgfk
I ignored her and said, 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Z12yrgch
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkHg6N53Q9
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KDOdsH6Yp
"What time is it?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjpUcJMBvK
"10:35."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE2safH3ie
"Wow, time really passes by."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUaI0LYwB7
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrXNQyoYiW
"Let me go get my phone."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rEdCnlYX7
Zoey rushed back to the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufOp5D6uU6
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVCbuhMLbu
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23nPxHag3T
that was Zoey.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL5tUeTecz
I soon received a 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IMsG4kpoV
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTMD0mLlXw
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE5qvlV0QL
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72Dk8nN7F0
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPntKnyg37
"I'm coming."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM1qtZ6IpT
I started heading 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9AbfgyOJb
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2HPiUAYJx
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03THZ3RzGE
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnbW5qPl9b
number. A number coming from another country.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAyIRt6dOr
"Oh, who is this?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXW6IK7Pyt
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzopXz5mnK7
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpH5USUr09
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTLM8HiwGW
"Come on, we're already late."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQF9Fg8c0n
We went into the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mw2DSNEAF
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVABNx0jVeo
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbj8QMLtyz
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRj7K2HVCV
When we got to YG, 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcZ878Y7jf
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOYS0C4qEA
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfyhBQMEXU
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMUpP0cd9R
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ90A2yhAj
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusT44jlzAb
Zoey held her earlobes 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNYSYvPnUe
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLtTbNOUsz
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7gKn0NGRj
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYevYWuNDje
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs7qXedcEz
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEqSi6bhew
"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.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuUFpgPyAV
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p9tbsV04i
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnOd9pDwQz
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL0meUyfJZ
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO3eaCBMwH
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgPgyvNe8Z
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG5GrqDmql
"Then let's do so," said1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffRMXJPsxi
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6oieRE6Cr
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTLwysmgBa
I had completely forgot 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHChhqwtHo
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcUcRcKP64
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbwelQEHsz
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFhGwjJUx8
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HLaQoOz7B
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e4uR1uZi7
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuipryjZ3Ro
In the live room, there 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qtcE9FPMH
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PDNPVss1K
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodAQgsN5p4
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8Eym95eOA
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbynvOAyXef
I looked at the others 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGBPepz1tU
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIJDya11jH
producer started to play the tune for the song.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lHpxtzbI4
G-Dragon started to sing1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72EGno5Bai
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5AgaxJNvd
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWof2EiBKgh
to let them sing the first verse together.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukEI7p46rZ
Collins, the music 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8vJtWkL2Z
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvuDVHN6dv
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU01FYYKNTp
Christine then sang the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ440QIlNFNp
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeZxEi9WGR
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWyadxn1Id
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhFUicjrGh
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRq2TDa9lV
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGPI3GQ8jv
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."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0BPr2NAWb
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMCPnMiGkk
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai0dCUfKQb
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10WiSzBijH
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfw8NmQz6p
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2j4GDchfG
"You may," said Collins,1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrDlstXOtd
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Q3Ou3Opi
You have to work on the backup vocals."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdVCMmoQOS
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARVBHS02pb
If I hadn't known 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9e9JM5k8H
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzB4N3foJS
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9XvVj23MQ
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYJa2W6m6m
hollow inside.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrom3Yhhml
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtDeMxxdMG
We continued recording 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEImKXjhgb
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULbso33lEV
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw3FTpa2Ht
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NXpefENxB
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyIyKrSkh5
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdh1EJn0ZB
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAyetPjJ3L
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOVWRTCzil
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhQ7VfOp06
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYcHQsuyhe
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TeVrRth4d
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMPOST3TTZ
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0P3ww7kEd
"But be back within an hour."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruSON8SAji
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4zvrZgEtQ
"Fine, an hour and a half."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lsg607GHh
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWO0vQoKg7
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq4ruRyohY
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkO7gkrm4n
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N7FTVerxV
"That, my friend," said 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShJo6vtQCf
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38U7UgNedb
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL0vc0NqgY
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCSPXpvzRf
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVxANFJseL
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8nFmNu7iz
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo9aEUovsx
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy72tjoDOP
"Whenever you want us to1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ndjW6og8h
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NkOKZZ88P
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtOquh3MxZ
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OL0RjUwqR
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeDwXlSZiT
"Huh," I thought of all 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjL7KL2u36
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQncBiRWeZ7
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiQxRysEsc
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsyD6yLWtg
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqcin2buh8
"Come on, Sam," said 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DVdT915FE
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOmY6dvkzg
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNQQDtlNLx
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBd5Ja8jJM
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNyt1ydba7
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlfLJIW1wX
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIjIlHMb1S
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefRtgA0JbC
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJPlM9b6sL
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJFt2As4ti
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaHX8En1Hp
"They aren't here," I said.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonr4caKd9k
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZcNxfWA1d
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbMC3bffhp
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDBU2UhCTJ
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IFgVuMOtN
I nodded my head and we 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi401roH85f
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLebwfvDg4Z
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7rI9lI3bo
We were in the lobby and1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWhNJKfcec
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9lqtWpYOi
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffEm6VWzAQ
morning.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jxmJxiohz
I first sent Zoey a text1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCdT6NQy0Z
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg8lbElhwv
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV8qehuAfk
"Hey, what are you looking at?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsJhXRWzqb
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEM1igQ4kn
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvTw1pTHbo
"Okay, shall we go?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWla9uxaGl
"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.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSmgkQWLUO
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbKukE0bW7
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqRHUyx3tf
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8FycqKngF
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubbiVThVHw
Instead of using any one1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyqrQYD6S1
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHkCQrMjqA
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaLLJpmbG7
attention, especially from the customers.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlimYdWJCBp
I had to admit, the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzQHDMjLim
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcOQ30mZ0C
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbB0QX54Zu
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimJPwRz199
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuj4Jl4Pd6
A smartly dressed 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIqAI9QCdu
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB4XDlrBEO
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1PZ8lICVp
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfviDtanHff
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH0PEmfHM9
We were escorted to a 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJkqZoh630
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr4asuuXOM
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFlgfz0ZiD
TOP pulled a chair for 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7QUJBxhev
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sH7XZlyv7
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZWvEjNut8
beside her.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNewSJDMb0m
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd5J6crmON
"Tell me about it," said Christine.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTga4S0ntCo
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKAmqsIkzf
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrI71PHDLq
"So, let's order," said Daesung.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB4YG5Fppg
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMK1H2abdB
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CeK1k5GrG
As we were having our 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn9rFe6bni
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNLwNGJXxy
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTbAgrInFF
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo1hu1yd4u
having fun wherever they were.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VDxcF3QMi
While I was having my 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe9qD9v4jS
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnoMfTPAOc
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaCj9bzsZN
unknown number had sent me a message again.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmY3spjKrk
I tapped on the message 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl1ENmV2GR
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE3migxu4e
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBb17s2r6M
the next message was more surprising.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzPMx1fuBd
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPKWzZRJUX
Anything about what was 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75PPh4TogJ
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKouv1pA2R9
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkSeEIvPt9
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlulZxTmp5H
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVyVgPyE3l
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfz7huK0Ee
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAJbRggGjm
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeHg2oGbvf
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGm5rds21O
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUzpHb39Ms
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzivgOqkrqg
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mHrIbcI7P
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfo5zz1uxa
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt4KDc4GXs
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEZiOlqGgg
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJsGMvQDyN
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFJDolhUIt
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7XXCo9XOT
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aRFFCIHiQ
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEBDyOrv9F
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkAVQr1bNs
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuecJOnLRB4
"Can we please stop 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7C0MOUBvj
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvPv0Q86yA
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaXYuqDkDH
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjKYWa7vTn
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpN6RMkBbp
"No, let me," said 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w94U8JEgt
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9A8a27cEm
allow her to say what she wanted to say.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyo9Dwly59
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.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHkHX4yo9G
"Because, Collins gave 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0tzGOqSZu
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoEey0IMuK
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJsTvwyJ13
Never."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFyXQPNstv
There was silence on the1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGTJgNQxIa
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVxqfUe4sz
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcwYkImfBD
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASdF8URxMU
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk6BmpSJFy
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa9GyZyfkv
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B2IETp0Ux
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fP26nzIjQ
"It's serious to 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPSXjNvqyh
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUNFptdTL6
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuZ034edDJ
babies."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPVtiGGY8r
That was odd coming out 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco1qCqUYDS
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xnkckY5m2
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCkDlVywBc
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4hrcgyjZt
laps.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPAD0sI5Jn
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEKofV9xB6
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oQNTGZT4C
I really did. Something 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklglAhVSaq
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07FkEsBUNB
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMSlFnQ4tA
"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.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOasPREzED0
I quickly closed the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE69xfIJ5L
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqP5TdvqPH
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5xABzf0YI
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zxEY1madH
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQEXHvAxTp
I shook my head and I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD82kY1Hkb
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbKK3duW8h
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv7uH6Qarh
supposed to care. But I did.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa60n4bGzq
I looked at myself and I1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVznShDZY5
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1yshpQkAF
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QzE6nhUk5
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNsWn9gyZm
things and focus on what's really important.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLKcIYN1q3
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.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiyeM1XJQI
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiuUPRM54M
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVq2Dwlu7O
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTfswoA838
I gulped. What had these1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zXAwYk646
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvkcvd6VSo
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6JPa6Lval
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspCZZEQ8De
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRimJYFiBcb
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBUgbMzxFo
"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.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwvW2UxkDe
While Christine was one 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW4RXTp44x
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOshkHcesP
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcz6u7nAFf
worse.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBwQByPZeF
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi380YD3RS
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvphBlacS8A
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkpzc7OO1R
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lPkqYz8pv
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxohDnAOJr
I blushed. "Mike!"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz5CSQHcxj
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbkK2Yf3VW
"I've tried kissing 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w5X8H7YtV
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIuDrSgMld
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDISiZq9JW
"Uhh, if I were you, I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUDxXjA8zK
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFIy6sn5C0
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn53zLSTGN
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2sEdYqD5N
regretting it."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgIEfkQKsa
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrFhAhrsgy
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H9QavOUnL
"Fine, I'll listen to 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAaTqeNOQY
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2odfESawCm
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSviZDaDRy
blushed.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fta5s3Ufw
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD9ULFEkmo
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.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebIWldh9AB
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYRQgqIKVA
We got to YG just in 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEgCSvLUBw
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw8K3xY12h
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dwSbKaeLW
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsF6SLs00L
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmD99HyFEA
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28XTPhwxbK
I couldn't help but feel1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjGXCkPFl9
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡungOoqiNTa
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsj8jMtcFx
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QrWoSL40M
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpbclts7Ke
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQT7O4A91D
I felt something inside 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp4Hov2Lim
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KEdNb4IKH
couldn't believe what I was hearing.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgposMRt0t
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx8nNdqUBw
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQITqVvgSy
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwVRmvkC8F
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7xkGr3Nby
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm5YslRCfV
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHLAnEhnrA
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjKTowlEGs
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHfKJA4V4u
"Then?" TOP asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblJA1HR1XQ
"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."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyznZXkGBY
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgwcUlMfSD
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7u15V4ML5
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiacnOFQaK
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfo2yGMXZy
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx9xafFN7b
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFBo9IIBpF
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRePZSM9kPp
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD8ZP5Kvdn
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7ruI8vA7J
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38cIWQtvkx
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY7TbX9uqg
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZrN1ppi4Z
I couldn't help but 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjzGTO0w9i
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCldHsKg6d
not telling us what was really going on?1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSekl4DtSZ1
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfLto9HIdI
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8XKfpQCXG
"We've to look for her," said TOP.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKfubbdQEg
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqS2k6Q2ZK
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzSM8gGgAZ
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i8Y9nx6oF
"Did someone say my name?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLys5kTe9Z
I cringed. He was one 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmD8AjkbCm
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrKOvQmOcr
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIZiLKiYGz
the music producer.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H57nFyZdc
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG8owmVapU
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC8gRGrv30
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DumELfqFW
"Looks like you aren't 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25juVcKMR2
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr505l1BiI
away from us and heading towards the console.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qVr0T7mJ9
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0cepbRVW7
I looked at the others 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPaCTYtiu2
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VusOfn2RG
something or else we would be toast.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrkPH7kdLO
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFMlWD0uNw
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxlplZPery
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9HeVmiwRA
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6vimzYeMl
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdIAscJ9eI
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3mgFvhvt9
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbRGfcr2jx
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG9SOTmhW2
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLrYqWMCjx
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11GCbzUtHy
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.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TDIs27ytx
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWmCfJsnfz
Mike and Daniel almost 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW84aMcx98O
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yZLfrlnsj
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox4Er0NBD3
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qv5FDC98M
"That's fine," said Taeyang.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIAUOx3lcg
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7lBADcAQ9
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLAomkJ32q
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Uzs2NomV
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPCZsHKJaV
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNry2io4D1
Christine was doing the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVexJeQImI
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjO9gkMf5c
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeovXHVW1L
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0FrVit2Gz
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo5UoSOReN
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsnTi8Kdik
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HZytq254q
I wanted to ask where, 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYJ90UdI4O
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4taX6UioMI
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x1MvUkmcu
music producer soon left.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuVokzSND8
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuOAxTvje2
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3TEMV5InA
"Ya, we should," I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGIXuoZwcg
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMzJ6s2g8v
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrqG1SBQBZ
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRzW66mGbP
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuASCnow9Y5
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bIW7R3SOQ
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxVtXwqhjF
As soon as we left the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBIdav6A2C
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo67uc73VQi
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsIc8QR7V8
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIZ5S3jCfK
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGpJ2cVpbt
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlJqtMVFUY
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRUXa5yuDi
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEVLw9zEXb
G-Dragon drove away and 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh809oepXmV
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMczO8SDRL
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pDpH7mFvX
"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.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfrjARRW7k
"What?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FlxGZniux
"Did you two argue?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qK5yFwTKQ
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQGAan2UhO
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJGqO5tAX2
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPorpjqLLr
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMiGw05qJg
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64gYENyIh8
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZtAveYIa5
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1MTJq2XxO
With quick strides, I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jA6QFToIw
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVpu4F3pcJ
could look at him directly in his face.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah5j043P6x
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAu3LZqCFe
"I want you to tell me the truth."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJS0Nv4Wwv
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEQQF73La2
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6PEnLA4XX
G-Dragon chuckled and 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFod6rMziw
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEXKNkqn3g
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNjPGUduI5
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJaW6iaUzZ
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesaYeQmEmW
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3EOd043pI
"And how do you know?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdAJPkJtss
"I'm her best friend. 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft0WuSJz7o
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2SB4VSvsR
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ts03k75JZ
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZoUiw2x3a
"Zoey can't end her 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx8DzfIZlx
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uM9s3aZE0
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgVMjncjoO
you did something."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxjM33qRVT
"Me?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83zyBQpMOn
"Da! Yes, you!"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSzKjuMJyz
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA41JUknZYV
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosJ3G0fzTZ
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6ftnbgEwv
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUh9flE5hD
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanija4gSap
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zUbhUUBS7
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkPALjinTW
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CcxHHsgNJ
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaef4VouzW
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu39EruU7vU
"Ya. Sure."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmxGNUcyvv
"Now, will you please 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6P7rwX1KU
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2clFH3XUhg
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzGj67umyI
interview."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNa2iCXQcQ
I didn't say anything, 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQIkviJnkS
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ja4OZh3V7
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPxHLmVKTR
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBsyvDW9IV
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhRGRezrdB
but nothing.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv0uaBzKt1
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.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZAptTW5Ii
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF972vIdQmP
"I'm not," I said as I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGytt6OWFgL
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteHYIZ2ezs
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlres8MPVPG
G-Dragon sat down beside1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5G5tkJyxF
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSTvV77bze
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunmDKKWgy1
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH6HNVgIxi
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMLfc8BmAp
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzdx51PiPE
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjs3ipds9k
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi92YviMft
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDIWKmonGy
"You love nature, don't you?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy1WOntNlf
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMxHHTyOFz
At that moment, I was so1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTYYcmCake
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxuMZV91pv
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh7FHpcbrC
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNYgnVCxfl
even the noise around me seemed non existent.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gcfmCUI8o
Then I felt something 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqZ8U9r9OD
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tkXRyC6DH
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhReYbP4QNr
was staring at me.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EwyNaJnkf
"What?" I asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr4Kimuzho
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzPFAXW36d
I blushed all of the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtGEdPjtfi
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9tCqYta7X
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDd8FftjvQ
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YGph0A7iv
I would have said yes to1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XBwZaONYp
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacK7MVZ6S1
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4GAg9mhjk
were never meant to be.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3NcFbpLja
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQXbFUdsG7
"Why?" He asked softly.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwZceqaYYO
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7Zgl9jC1i
"What do you mean?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wt8OPbtFD
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlSJCWbn1Y
"So?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbmX79ThDa
"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."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCmqGay8ac
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2ZLSpMLOK
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUhQ7P5K2Q
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO55GsBYVww
"I know."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BFvgf7q2w
"Then why are you doing this?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ550aaNu9dc
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzoj6rFGmv
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z6s1LQ8ds
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0ndT1gfRS
"You should find another1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHjLEjTGp6
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMG8wlRS4x
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExSXUpbShh
will never forgive myself."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJhSp5LEVP
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsZjQcyJue
I wanted to smile but I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EV2vAy88E
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Smyjoryq
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB39PsZqKh
like we had beef with each other.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7lbqVdESI
Just as I was about to 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooZ6h72kwi
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47afE9ZYrf
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNow7QXTVW
from his pocket and answered it.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHWQmSvhjc
"Hello? Christine?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa7KjRGGEf
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpC3SOo2Ru
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04CpPoTY0a
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcgjQUevqR
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡple33HYph5
"Where is she?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NWc8EtfyE
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2SNfyKPfy
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rp8tlEXEA
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcckmERBveM
"Who is she with?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcve6YCLT6
"We're about to find out. Let's go."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xz0eA7Gc9
G-Dragon got up from the1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbBY4TPUKB
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqwTySPQhF
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivSRqne2pP
When we got in his car, 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1bfoZZaAY
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnN7zbyhQ2
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnIgMWHwSz
looked across towards the café.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOAEGsVm69
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCw0pi3W0m
Through the huge window,1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSJjRcbMJx
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1KugW9iIf
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrknF4meVfN
day in the afternoon.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnq3e7JqHK
I searched for Zoey, but1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0YzVzTiG9
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPvkw1qRrI
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndPWynIk87
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQBgsabwNK
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCtQzg0n6k
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6WgIzkKwP
"Who is it?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwseUp0e6Ag
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfwJ59YmGp
"Seriously?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKChgDbKT5f
"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?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0flx0mkjk
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hOnFnemJj
I rolled my eyes and 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJwse6JStT
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf5uwuQfNO
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PO7SK3Fzf
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqIjEOqD8N
She was sipping her cup 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFRNbrvSF0
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgyEN9yDoR
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3NqSjHY9G
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUTr1g1NLb
"Ya."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHlEuH8KxY
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ohH4GrAtk
Zoey's smile made me 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESaawhuypT
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPsBabyXyf
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20fvCCA4Px
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIE4CgNbSp
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1xOYFPf1U
I felt a threat coming 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOIg0CqjMJ
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm87sGRaSg3
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4siosGH2w
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNR1QlyYCd
going on in there.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTO6aA3eOJ
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6uGxjC2IJ
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXAGG63Xew
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtkYg8lN8K
Just as G-Dragon came 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUEIwak9W2
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcol7OnaFeo
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJjBhlOmqi
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTWBXhi99v
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mQaL8WDm5
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyeOpx8sTr
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMFwrO26oC
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkert4pImfC
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHEqjFzkkm
I didn't answer him as I1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgAPAS83sM
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4JUXd4h82
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsAKpSRfXB
managed to reach the café without getting hit.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtBUuRHWst
When I got to the café, a1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCk6FbGbDa
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4TQp7p5z3
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVqujMBAma
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQIEQDdpxS
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCdz42uECu
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwYiyWmTsg
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt0dqbBwtP
"Don't you dare try to 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgRDpDuEYj
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTS8Aqlzd6
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxqGtxtlwi
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLkmfxvZkn
"Christine told you where I was?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf51D6CgRZ
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgbZErxsQC
I heard the bell of the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHHVuKDgP8
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx0rX9lK1f
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGFXBwIfzm
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8zhB1lg8t
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC88WWiJi4x
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2yqVnKoGL
"Stop taking all this 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWyLT8lVTn
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD8AMVZD3j
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TqcKLSwHs
The smile on Zoey's face1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eITmkMwnL
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8v7ISmSZsh
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIwWhpfzXz
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcwCoVQSio
ourselves.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oRsq0kEBO
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HuH3FnGDR
"You're right," I said 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMmJiH5Uqi
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12Mkg4sFhj
attracting so much attention sometimes.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaqD93eN1e
The others had started 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJlQ5ViexV
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKQSqzoMTN
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo9uajf5ZY
about who he was.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCEkSuByNm
After we left the café, 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjgAzjybTx
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmEMD8unmP
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFeXP3gj7s
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJXMreiapV
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKYBs1P7y0
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25w8FVBrVz
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVtHeaCOZJ
Zoey and I went in 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf8JOifMxj
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuT4KYh8EG
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFj4PcCCqu
We were all back in the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mnj7B22eX
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rwsHW8hsd
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINboM46IA0
We gathered ourselves in1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcuDmJIwbk
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkyyJvY5qy
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEBeCKS8vu
hands on my hips.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz84ZUeXhmX
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hFan6ZdfK
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlkHboABHK
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakKzHPPGGg
"Fine, I tell you," said1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FoCGUVg0i
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOjJCfmpxh
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVAdeRrw6L
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOPR6gIdGm
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ179b0Adulj
"No, I don't mind," said1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYqv0X4xIj
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf14XARIA16
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcK9g4SHGo
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlmgVHvBSL
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYdhpHnlfd
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprOs8Bwf1S
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCekfofG2N
"As much as that sounds 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw97ntXvYW
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OI6X2ld6g
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeIuvD7IBE
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyRmFjlh9E
I started to tap my foot1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtob8W5Wx42
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGADjM1o1U
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAhn7JC9AQ
truth.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3RS2T7kdL
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TBRc7oFFj
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00GZJvLwbs
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkgSPUMQ37
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQVxWBFZ40
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuvzAhcQ9L
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zIQ5LTpAF
"Okay, okay, eish," said1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTje3aKbtHq
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUugYLUCaka
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFetYcErkm
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfObJiOsHOS
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaEkPMzZJp
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDhiIpBP68
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnCEjB4khS
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTmUF2eaUO
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.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRJuEzp9AH
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccd2XEO0dS
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCbRv7d3jD
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17GsM6MeHW
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01JUtQvwko
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FnbTFtyTW
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HewUW2mY2
"Are you sure?" Daniel 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNb180Gr4C
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hy2Lhbacz
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8UlLpHry6
haters or even us."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NjstaLf0Z
Daniel was right. Zoey 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjPENsXTn5
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSaiklP18A
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTbA0gio2R
telling the truth.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUEz5EGdUh
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPvPZsJnlT
"A very nice guy that 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVRbNLV6lL
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKtg4zqj5H
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsuMGI5U8n
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J4rZSxncb
I didn't want to 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHBHimbH6K
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZv68Uqe4S
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFAHvsxrqw
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EunGa4se4
"And not dead," said 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtrgXXxj7S
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2psCVgFug
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKX2CZ2BmW
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3fvnkzNew
"And you better get 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc15HqvQXuI
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7j5odZSf0
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vOME2knWi
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0hFK0PDte
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbLIpbCN4z
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdltCUxB0t
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBHgDx7yvW
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X0TUVvoiS
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeqbtvrNIp
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7rt0s2U3z
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaBKOXqjKC
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD37lKAdVau
One by one the BigBang 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCbsR9tSsa
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4Mrll5nkA
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXLSLFJbMF
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFogGREnv1G
When I went in my room, I1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq36hOTgIdR
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2B7uhWfL5
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P43LHomGH
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZVNuFmFpy
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmS4BpjpOT
"About what?" I turned to look at her.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCX2O9I7e5
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjnEVuIDA0
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2Xq3xmfvH
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dylQFam39
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUizkxnizN
"Did you see the man's face?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ8wVxGkS5
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3b54i0UeR
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOtP1YiOof
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6z1npI1kJ
"I bet he is good 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWIHqBZj2B
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vkQxjxksl
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhgKRlpXbr
told her to?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82IEmlF5Eb
"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?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnOHU2dJPt
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."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxphowR9EiE
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5sfspaCBF
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxCI4EJk4m
"That we have to find out."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9W6OpOXe9
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYOpn51Y2X
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjygSECEpL
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjycWWBgKI9
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9rloIXJBu
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupwxGTGTmS
Oh my. Had he told her 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5O2AVekd6
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRDljScCnK
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3l7FwmuGf
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwsMEXAaT5
"What did you talk about?" I asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp5uy4xJ1o
"He was just pissed that1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqfPqOTeJn
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwn3KuybFW
that might have upset me or something."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGCkSGrkHf
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NBlDZ5L2Z
"But he didn't."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAEYfJgMtY
"I see why Sam asked," 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLIh5nJ5um
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8znAWA4Ap
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YBp2N8WoK
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IkjHCvYQb
And I hope it will never1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe0LDTtiZ9
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xvqWgLZXU
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgxPSHNAvm
was yet to come at any moment.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Acx06vd49
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSIzZ7FcSb
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAn1Ok1kJ6
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSPFgBKoOD
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdWcomN6h8
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiEd7zlOrr
Christine, Zoey and I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8DxMUtQtg
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w2YG4yZRB
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5b4D6oZ30
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgZOKBDMgs
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrqM8cZTpx
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaULPbVIJo
"Yes, he is," said Lee 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G7uTx2faN
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk12PfQOZi
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sxf0rGSke
well."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N1LjYHqNa
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWwfa7uXQV
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm6YbHOlq9
"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."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg0zID8qQl
"Us?" I asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDvpzC6e3d
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZz6vt1gFf
Christine and I rushed 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX0U5AL51D
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySoehP5ESW
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPRl6pOsSe
hand.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd9qFz65h5
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYKNWvzQEh
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡossug6zLZI
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQxJrWQW7A
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag0ACbVUh5
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.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAVXGuQWbL
I took the letter and 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50q7bTJ1sg
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1KX0RbliY
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNRJxqctEl
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmBZq1EiAY
"That's it?" Mike asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmGQI01MU1
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkLTT1GZKp
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgklXx6U6mS
"All that the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnD99kKR5oB
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09HebnYZWw
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DCWGl3LAt
My eyes went wide and my1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgA9B7Wshf
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIsOmfuUOf
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTDsGfnWpX
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpLlqve0dJ
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiZxCOGhrl
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvfTXaPtXk
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYg84hojWjp
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?1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMBnWipQM5
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4539mB17pM
Christine threw Daniel 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E2zcYzv2N
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeI1b8jXEG
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLybZOHbxAB
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE5A23IYv6
person you barely even knew.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRbo1VfeUY
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp23MYellHn
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnQRDnMFK5
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w6wXYLLWp
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0jUNrcgrl
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWsDqhkxaP
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpWpz75uml
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8XBOxBrM1
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBG2UNCqFZ
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjw4jBcURx
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrFdQqf8bX
"Okay, but take your 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRhdBVPJUQ
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vbldZfeKr
last prayers before I leave this earth."1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcMFwumclg
I rolled my eyes but I 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4B80xZD1Q
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsJSeG0vGC
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4Ba1kCEND
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuC8jMlu5H
The other three couldn't1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr4lInIzre
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzax62XIyZe
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1bU7mJjOt
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZj9Axg0Up
nothing happened.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPtBLxnpNj
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI5BJGxVD7
"What is it?" Christine asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JePcc1kbZ
I looked up at the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8wnuzdECE
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHDKj0w9i0
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjqjMMaJqR
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF7sG5UkUB
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjIg5m5ibb
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6hNrmFUYe
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFYnKRbM0l
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigoSMajE54
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ynuji00tV
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkraiEWutya
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV2bpgfTg4
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoNM24L2xl
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfdKHlNBO8
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVtyALSe3T
It was then that Zoey 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNoJMFrIbs
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94heRHjWxF
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXayin1ETm
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdiW3v449x
stranger who she was with today that sent it.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRCtEZUBak
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy8501nZm7
"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.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78OJFkP9Dt
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZYiKuIsJ0
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUF2uvlFeF
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡace6uXS5tF
This time, they laughed 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC512QDRXN6
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gC2XxYAsO
had feared for our lives and it was for no good reason. I saw the 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrsnO2L2nw
reason to laugh along as well. Who knows what the future might hold? You1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKeYICx9C8
could die at any given day. We were just glad to be alive and laughing.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRv9x1Vf0A
"Stop it, guys," said Zoey with a frown. "This isn't funny." Lee just shook her head in disbelief.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vPnwhOp5T
"You brought this on yourself, not us," said Mike.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNGjqMvkA9
"What's with all the laughing?" Collins asked as he came into the lounge.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAFA4WgDXI
Zoey held up the bear 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHyis4XLVC
for Collins to see. It was such a funny site given that Zoey looked like1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CClhEb9DR
she was about to cry and she held the bear's little arm in between her 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwPuKH7xCI
fingers that it was dangling in midair. That sent us into another wave 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AztKDHH8Y
of laughter. This time, Mike and Christine were on the floor and Daniel 1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YmE3PZlJ7
fell right beside me on the couch. I laughed so hard my stomach ached.1004Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY0kTOC7lH
And surprisingly, Collins laughed too.
