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.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKi0XA9NNH
I had never been this 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4m5kjW5fk
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgppKNT26Yx
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMa3Niu69y
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39yp56vhpo
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0UjKDj8in
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvlgwhh3U5
"Sam!"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCi8iqlPP9
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9XoqKJ8zs
Zoey came out of the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O4DEgJvLK
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NgaqCfGhH
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J3Ezl4GYC
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBoxH1eK6Y
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sBdAgkqfn
"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."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiExBk1RGwd
"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.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFnFEbrNae
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEn1DLsMop
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNhIMG7QFD
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVUa9jii3V
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpSnKbtSrq
I ignored her and said, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2O7I3NzZ8
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQYxmHMsK0
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh7jTrL8nt
"What time is it?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXcUV5zppA
"10:35."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FaAZYNAp9
"Wow, time really passes by."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcTTI1DGPE
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWBXxzN69C
"Let me go get my phone."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOhlsiGJGC
Zoey rushed back to the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7O2y9YpMX
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqzi2IYjci
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeXlSz69oH
that was Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyjooDQ6lQ
I soon received a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDVwbuUCkq
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfQVgEgErw
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVn0wU047L
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOayDq9w5zX
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCPgJhE4kt
"I'm coming."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdeDtp4vOu
I started heading 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMt15N6W5L
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Zn5KM8MX
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA8fQukF5P
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5bfz44029
number. A number coming from another country.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNHQfGOWyh
"Oh, who is this?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmPP6QrVLn
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyv2XaFulh
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5GzdxIYyu
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc4HdgWFAd
"Come on, we're already late."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D9f3Y1NnT
We went into the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu2EbBc9X2
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhF8C4nvdw
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9TPp2On6k
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcSqTqhFTp
When we got to YG, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZdIAaBByv
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdTU0bkhbx
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGVIBONHQX
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4FwSX8B5H
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pgVMOBIhA
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIa2RorHtm
Zoey held her earlobes 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5jeU5RJow
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXhC248yJc
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zVeVkSvhM
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokfW0cSeJm
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOByjUWqLyB
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2zPwIkRm2
"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.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2rX0Ckb28
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKibnKjDFb
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp6UQnVuBR
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhUoihz0QC
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFmG6Qu7ts
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkVep7asft
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzLTkipJt1
"Then let's do so," said961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHQH6BbXCb
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TZUYvDrX2
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W30pgzOFn
I had completely forgot 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxfdRERGOT
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBLgwFGAIw
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaajLoOeFhd
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ueB7F3lrN
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gLn1EatmA
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mKfXFdCHh
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe22tV4lhhR
In the live room, there 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeti1qXlClL
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1PbwWvLmk
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHblYM2xEk
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5jib10H6x
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELIgdgZjjF
I looked at the others 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZW84cLIXt
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHKNRTbpy3
producer started to play the tune for the song.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODt146fw4E
G-Dragon started to sing961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1P7jv3jZt
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wAX3aXUth
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9bhCxeGad
to let them sing the first verse together.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnUyh7ojeH
Collins, the music 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFezFdGUoqs
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0yTCVBAee
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCCjRIyaJX
Christine then sang the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFljYUOxnA
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzFmbo2i3W
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwBAfxS2C7
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAFpEABQud
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpVsAZRgKa
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCwXsDym7E
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."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEkP2Xb441
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3KP8lscn9
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElPrAHvbc5
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCgOgXlAlj
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF56iUdCAdz
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT1VjB2Twz
"You may," said Collins,961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8b3NyB7R3
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vS9vpEOFZ
You have to work on the backup vocals."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIMHTnQlKn
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsBfIrrmjc
If I hadn't known 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xRUCAeUat
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOhW27hTn1
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3sXyh3Lt9
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu7F1YTe9t
hollow inside.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNvsf20oCy
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFc4YxX5ej
We continued recording 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExttnMPY0d
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTLmeQeHTL
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FqUieDP9G
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFeng54EoV
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR9f0OoCr6
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4RavhVqmE
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2HVl6wx7H
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCRjFs63c3
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aTah22K8k
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPUWEzXXUj
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYJuiKQ8Cq
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr4UYNjGJf
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVsYfnwhSx
"But be back within an hour."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPj7vR21Ax
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy97kXM1p6I
"Fine, an hour and a half."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsfuWb332x
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Yl3bPNne
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZikNal46Ri
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHtkfjP8GD
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2uBVtnRbS
"That, my friend," said 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8kiSs8XYs
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6nlozeCbO
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTUtu92vs0
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i0DsdMzX3
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhgC4pp5Sz
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIV884BkCJ
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5aowpOwcg
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GaDFoYz8f
"Whenever you want us to961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v2P4EacG0
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHKWzcFgYF
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4SP0TxkzV
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G61i9hj1I
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVznTFMSto
"Huh," I thought of all 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI08FT9eOw
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVnGwRf3TW
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ71s2SyYtG
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9qSjvuLgZ
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvusXawbmA
"Come on, Sam," said 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZxbDdCMeI
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFa6QiA4an
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20QwdWBjvE
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalaCEIKq8A
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A15D6nsCZ
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkTFNJRHiw
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnLdFKFxKA
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCFKNuyLI2
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQYjN2A8bR
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9PehiaqBE
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCQF7TLRpt
"They aren't here," I said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UY5gy1D1Y
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9Q6WZBmVY
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM4gXLGPes
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfUUKJD6CG
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLVXxJEULf
I nodded my head and we 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOtIfeuhVE
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoidOaQ5iNK
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLXYYkqA2m
We were in the lobby and961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3b7cjf0nC
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsAWIAvtzE
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z0cOW1WRk
morning.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCZlJkvHV0
I first sent Zoey a text961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatCaH2DaHD
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcnLJgm6IS
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDCpJvzx6c
"Hey, what are you looking at?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIGQisTJNx
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGbHAxfPtW
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfhaStfLZE
"Okay, shall we go?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNIoSbPYNv
"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.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav3ym4VWw6
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPzbeQgOtC
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMhVoI7k4K
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgpvvVNroX
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTqvGZbqCe
Instead of using any one961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNGo24NOab
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ074hXXvfEl
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9twKbczU0
attention, especially from the customers.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYi2b60I1S
I had to admit, the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGdinmkB1S
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gGqghywN2
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5r57kAKZw
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc95AeN0DzG
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIXRJTYHdL
A smartly dressed 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wo5HzASEd
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOs8a7QGkA
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqLvw7H0Zx
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9KeNqcDRF
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0yN0lgaKg
We were escorted to a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI15XXNYDh
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwKxFTkrlk
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwP2KnDtjQ
TOP pulled a chair for 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuoVxUVkoQ
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgJXLAr1f8
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dWPq5TAM1
beside her.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPErA9k56q
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ziBAYf84k
"Tell me about it," said Christine.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPx8ouzzpy
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXJlAyqefl
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMULk3aheh1
"So, let's order," said Daesung.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDElVw1CxOd
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxnAfbfSKw
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrDfKtf2b7
As we were having our 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneDIzxlMju
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozaaLAuAQI
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukCOuli08h
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapMH4E68AN
having fun wherever they were.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl1dTNMYxp
While I was having my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzUrbeUn7s
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYlRCCzY6y
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFl5FrvKOv
unknown number had sent me a message again.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAocw0HIlGL
I tapped on the message 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8r8cztc4C
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFswgmfJ7b
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc1bU0OxtY
the next message was more surprising.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhahT5mkGK
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UXM4AfAuN
Anything about what was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul7j5ANEno
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedMgqiL4aY
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsVoliw4bK
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFVGo9drKY
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qzbve0JBX
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNf02yKKPW
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03iCH4qmw4
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ0DIrQK6Q
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4FZrHHnyA
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfLabbbTyI
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafGR7eSolr
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCZpxuWoFm
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27Jrasmzuk
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAudWNayHqH
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MsWk8ppa8
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatyag6zS1i
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMAqLW3uRq
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtTxXNCp23
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vQNYGAQxY
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJGowfzzQ9
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G7Je4wusF
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aODxqzOwV
"Can we please stop 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT25JJRGvec
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlivUVOjyX
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVlbGtUdT6
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU7LoWkJMp
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWCy00Hxzo
"No, let me," said 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXNqE0axjP
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUeScMf0BF
allow her to say what she wanted to say.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEMRqLyzhL
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.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnU6cBBTfh
"Because, Collins gave 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqHNHgdnWP
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9MOzZWktb
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8bf3vV9p6
Never."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LDm89dDoR
There was silence on the961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AZNK3nJhC
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlJCQ7DzmE
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3d5W376yk
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1Yv2GShDh
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uZ4vKVV4x
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXArTDBEqI
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagvu0om7nk
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaAklNpptM
"It's serious to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhqmNOZGDN
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoX1aOBDdg
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tprVz6qet
babies."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8WHO0x4IT
That was odd coming out 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQOPjZ8eOL
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOjmk6YiD8
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0NIjAZVaK
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBYkpo6wDL
laps.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozFlqAPuyN
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9NcizYsH8
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmDvcC8G2x
I really did. Something 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAALCYmM6DR
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5ps4YAHaw
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkgkTcfsfF
"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.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMcsPTeWcp
I quickly closed the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNdTqzlC4T
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSh4NVGthG
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2GbcuEc42
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddxDeKdyAS
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOStt6nKyp
I shook my head and I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p50C1UEUH
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A06kHRNWp
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6pykrRjep
supposed to care. But I did.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT8VqMy6XO
I looked at myself and I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm09kXDjN7
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzgvuYJsZx
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TywA6g6BT
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGCuvio63f
things and focus on what's really important.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFAyQAjIEf
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.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS04dtDeQD
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdNhCPROAB
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvPAsNaIoD
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnEcfYxEXs
I gulped. What had these961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m9ozt66vB
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFA17ZH8b4
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8i7f7AdKG
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lFCHFtziQ
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeT37d4ZfU
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEvglSFIUS
"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.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILjRSpN8Qg
While Christine was one 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaPcNeXUGe
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLjrbqE93W
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAcFNUu7lb
worse.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXo13NbPsF
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHLaaeJGda
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR23wKnezo
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxKOz24HOw
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqsY7UVaez
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkipnSrtku
I blushed. "Mike!"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO7M1HgAr5
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxa2MZWv16
"I've tried kissing 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oSeMEFlDR
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG59gOEjaks
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAkFRXlm1e
"Uhh, if I were you, I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6HN87KuPN
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2IyTyrBOy
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejyjBYXw5L
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zX43I4RwD
regretting it."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuch7MKD9p
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eTCKhFXuv
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KUP0IAjtM
"Fine, I'll listen to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTNqkxQJhk
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLJYvaR6u8
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrNqrbNjFX
blushed.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GSjJDb1Kz
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUxWmE6hVV
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.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYzONsYkGX
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurVuFaLLfG
We got to YG just in 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVSFkNvmxS
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bzLzQb35m
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0LBgJojx0
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVhBjzy3wH
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X5Pfcd8Z6
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOnVhxIZjo
I couldn't help but feel961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQiPIc5FfM
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHbO3bXsBz
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfJMSnj7oY
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmi4gbE6BA
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTzHBOmmc9
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjsrY9bfHI
I felt something inside 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz4Frq98cP
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg5gEOMlTJ
couldn't believe what I was hearing.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAicbjmxaX0
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yyEcPqa88
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3IDggJAZ2
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaVqNgBO8x
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7yG3K30iA
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGJ8ETVc3X
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwFeWtMhfu
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl8UtDT2cQ
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBNHhKlzFV
"Then?" TOP asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRc6ix94HR
"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."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjqp6VS66K
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52hcVX05fe
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPJuFALTLC
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbbFWQjoTm
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ977vAdonDK
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0cRicCfZX
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1EAwQYYyK
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O0zhHlQdf
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaqRULmmLT
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdy7sh5aLa
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbKaporBzx
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwavwfO1DB
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdsYEqEEex
I couldn't help but 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiznVxINZ0R
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGQYzEnaMC
not telling us what was really going on?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDmbr6Kntf
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZnDPF9PEq
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk9mZjkj2D
"We've to look for her," said TOP.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEnSVvQEww
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBve1WYSzR
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQRIHY43ON
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvvqcw0dHh
"Did someone say my name?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITHXgfGPZ2
I cringed. He was one 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8sFdIsvNR
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfplL5at8W
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLl1ORcwqW
the music producer.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaLtA739Cx
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZK3A3MgMh
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrily8fpnV6
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyinD12xZss
"Looks like you aren't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwUMAJ7u3U
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyBUKb72D1
away from us and heading towards the console.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauEJhOqzLN
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41aVSPRIQd
I looked at the others 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxjS4feu4e
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03v2T0cYRr
something or else we would be toast.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15xf3bAU5f
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0dgEcPRXF
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvhkvQPPEO
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfrMZR6esj
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHroW5OS41
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfK2GyWLTU
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5qGSKs4a4
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDeYFDGTlM
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwoIPlFn9I
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cnsS8CUHB
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5RtE4diSj
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.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjoR87BIqg
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq3m4n9EmD
Mike and Daniel almost 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZs1mHX3tC
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywCnbTcTq1
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8doAIKDeq
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDQPAb5VrF
"That's fine," said Taeyang.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf4q8LGc6j
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY5B5B3hob
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV16gqj0PM7
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkjqRgThov
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gHsuaRMH3
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmgim6ccVj
Christine was doing the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9Ite4eNPz
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTpXjL2spa
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuBuFxp42K
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs8U2l4Shd
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTCAZITSMb
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QMepqwaFx
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC8ZoPPpHp
I wanted to ask where, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RcZJmdnPU
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyS7JNQhaK
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmWAnjdPEr
music producer soon left.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUgLrgPh9v
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2Sc6qI8VP
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSCUXCHE78
"Ya, we should," I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3wMNDVw4h
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuu2cedroV
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgothmGgfh
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLGyXllAkx
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd3md8f0rS
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUHXGoLpig
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdXO8sbumC
As soon as we left the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lxb0PMksV
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmQ0bRR9Q9
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzVlFXLpQ6
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JIm55EZj2
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnXb1jkNOZ
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCQIgHa8GU
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEQZfwDLjG
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwASbLuC8z
G-Dragon drove away and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e6kWvuivV
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEJRqrAfx6
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t342zd4gb
"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.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOY4Cde5hS
"What?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoxJI1qCnV
"Did you two argue?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPHukd1sj4
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75PlIIY34O
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIPI3USetb
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbDyKWCmE7
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnyizUIcbw
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv6x7qjvlh
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgJjY8I0iZ
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbr1ycGdQy
With quick strides, I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsus5YjN2m
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyKhFWhcqt
could look at him directly in his face.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQEG0gxM8G
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OlmtA4eoM
"I want you to tell me the truth."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqHL9pBla6
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv9ustQBPX
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgR1sUA0e9
G-Dragon chuckled and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8FnS8Fzdi
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP8MUeSqmJ
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eWsdbrDic
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTnumZF6Mb
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmLVfuFzXy
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPLYXxoSDV
"And how do you know?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat4YSuBGHE
"I'm her best friend. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmOyeyLDHs
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIFMM7ZvXw
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO592yRCOk5
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqkIPfMB2d
"Zoey can't end her 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFFZdGq2po
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnApMT5nkc
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqadA5i7i7
you did something."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8MV3V7K21
"Me?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡretaYuZ5oh
"Da! Yes, you!"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ973Z1KJ87G
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSegKLjXv1H
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSM73SA2oB
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoXuzV96FF
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp1ftRCeMD
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgr1OlaJ8h
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhxw13Fm4B
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYRkNxPiFB
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKnJkJ3ZO2
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXieQDjrLBI
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHlJwCPe6n
"Ya. Sure."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w8McxnQJk
"Now, will you please 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3OHd2RtWd
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvOGlwlWbe
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWjvV11OTy
interview."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3fY3NiAMR
I didn't say anything, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzt7DVqBfH
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fz9l7acWH
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i5kLdZhFw
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruHiYeCmIQ
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvuOE4iSrP
but nothing.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JX5AYFRrA
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.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgNAGk9bTq
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzp2jsyKyZ
"I'm not," I said as I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAZN53nivo
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdwCN7Mtsz
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT9iqIodTL
G-Dragon sat down beside961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JmULN2Grg
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCIrEVs00Z
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOUwlG6Hrz
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CbF05LAI5
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9asBmckpL
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PGFiXI0ZJ
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjbbgVdvIO
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCu9gQr8CO
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe86KAUDDn
"You love nature, don't you?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ5Xn19yM0
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALzVE7MF7P
At that moment, I was so961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1Y4z8oH6J
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzCYvsbuYU
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15SeGlMRfe
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwDEt8kqvz
even the noise around me seemed non existent.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zeEdYwUeC
Then I felt something 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42pKzOwnpV
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ96xw2C8m
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE2mLJudWk
was staring at me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOyTCgfT5b
"What?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjOHzaBU5y
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3OBkHnFYQ
I blushed all of the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWAcYseP4h
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVymRRiJqoT
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHsco5OWsq
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3cXVDtMjW
I would have said yes to961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN5YSHecp9
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnh5nRF8nX
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIIcKKMli6
were never meant to be.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbaDDdAQAJ
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLMLUqdWi2
"Why?" He asked softly.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgfvFw86D7
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsB3SYjDw0
"What do you mean?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZRZcWgnrn
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2YRCa5Oaz
"So?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCSoQGlH1P
"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."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBB4QkPvgx
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPeoDA8P9M
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DEin3LCfO
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlC9Hrt3wT
"I know."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfscgAuPO6
"Then why are you doing this?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBleBOUte6
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQplqTSI7bQ
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTyUg7jCRK
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fchwSrfcT
"You should find another961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQsxw8jcl6
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJfOadFxdA
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zi3j2pUQx
will never forgive myself."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIi7NEgLEa
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRDDBuaMs3
I wanted to smile but I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBWkhBdgDO
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXpmENSL7E
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYxXlllukS
like we had beef with each other.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhQKspe2Xe
Just as I was about to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgONdI5dEC
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6YUgQ8MBu
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BGAzCiITi
from his pocket and answered it.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QtwRAJ2hu
"Hello? Christine?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdUtvkRzLt
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyt9ZcjSFt
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNOC8Dsuip
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11jICDf2cp
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yGMWBSbmQ
"Where is she?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMtzq3iQvM
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl4a1EIHjd
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk93l2kxzP
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXqiZ1iu4D
"Who is she with?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoa6lqaaoN
"We're about to find out. Let's go."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofQbePf9JM
G-Dragon got up from the961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEvdUpSB7q
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxCwCPUey6
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKigbvLcxgx
When we got in his car, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVs3zuM5MD
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa58cHKvIN
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxta2ADsjL6
looked across towards the café.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCLPJsSyUI
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxx4vKR9Zp
Through the huge window,961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbccVOJo4p
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunvV6mIo6n
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGtg2isMeR
day in the afternoon.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nFEK0cVRb
I searched for Zoey, but961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx1Akyd995
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFlXuQDDNq
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH605bUk8oZ
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ216gYyPyYj
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnfFW0ifwC
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzXUG93NrQ
"Who is it?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu5CDyqfnJ
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6088iUIH9F
"Seriously?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1WGcHAhZg
"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?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3N3JDttmz
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapN6Yg16YD
I rolled my eyes and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK38ZVQl8L4
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBzOxcyvZO
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZj0Dkd5Eb
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8GMDXxch2
She was sipping her cup 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFS83GaH93
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYZZywzlVs
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU0PMVTkL3
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaJke7ysgT
"Ya."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Deh9jYuUy
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO5W9Ws4I4
Zoey's smile made me 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXMFMyrnhC
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJOZlLqN8c
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCya4lfEyly
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICL4MTomme
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHKsWEZNuC
I felt a threat coming 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuccKWyhJfL
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFiObEAbC4
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHld7Bvj7Z0
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeon0UWnxPT
going on in there.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1YQT17b8t
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVJ9jCWWnb
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn7pRTWchn
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzvSOR2ITX
Just as G-Dragon came 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMShPYr0BNn
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xFSgahMMR
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4lKx3GAyH
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xNqfoYdJH
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFh2tQhwhR
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRQC4AYfyq
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvwTX8zqJo
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNOqPsinoz
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMVsUUnC1r
I didn't answer him as I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPGDm5yBHN
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmkoh313wL
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylDVRVhXq3
managed to reach the café without getting hit.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutvLHvzXVx
When I got to the café, a961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiwdoIWqqw
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNpU1i9m7j
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjTaYFE9X8
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq3M1dEUgN
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6wm4LQrbz
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9DYaW5zey
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHa92JUKGU
"Don't you dare try to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSltiCsX6CQ
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUuvq6tSuZ
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnJnfhczFX
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur8j3KBfHi
"Christine told you where I was?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvKw2YGeSY
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSeGwxjXun
I heard the bell of the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqr3SNRbrm
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4mItEZ2zL
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFUO3sj62x
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrQCiYzA7R
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOp9mKSqV0
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsHlpracxF
"Stop taking all this 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM9SCEa9ww
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP8qfIRPqr
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SjINMLG9l
The smile on Zoey's face961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvcp8qjS9k
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yClKCX8Wq
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c5a00RfRX
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulrRiWK41X
ourselves.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wrdPM48RF
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVcMlk3fsO
"You're right," I said 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVHIUoN9zO
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbVvdb5jEM
attracting so much attention sometimes.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNna015IvPF
The others had started 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1naqUTqpn
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVBxEpXHVf
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLMsTC0ymi
about who he was.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLoRoPWyiA
After we left the café, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19KVaq444m
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXrt6iGUaR
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpP8RKKT9S
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlue2CddqM6
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfsosdfgTS
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6TO7qxEKz
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjs8k9irJ3
Zoey and I went in 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5LtG491Xt
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBYEfh1SlA
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgivdYYCFT
We were all back in the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW4GxeomEg
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBP3PI7JIw
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZTGLFQ8BG
We gathered ourselves in961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVaqVvG8l2
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z3k30ejp3
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUQs4yWayI
hands on my hips.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqzIW0Ucwd
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV5ymxTC5d
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYW8YD2u7m
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG8J1HLbV4
"Fine, I tell you," said961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs194ha25W
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRc2Eq1QLH
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAZjbIyTJn
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBhRyP7C4g
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtpDvEQjaZ
"No, I don't mind," said961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTQzYUonY1
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCqzFn3o54
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1leY3EUcuR
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QtEo4ZwnE
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrShoNcmfm
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IlNt3WNDm
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuqklRlqcp
"As much as that sounds 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKF3qLi8Xd
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcy4lQEsWs
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRogCeV8axI
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqZcH1n9aC
I started to tap my foot961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8O9vTBH7W
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORjs7uvrjT
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4oHhPuTlK
truth.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QOf8wW7dW
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48OXk8vlr2
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd91by0AP6W
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBQnuvAVxD
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy4Y9Zc7sO
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkgMbDgJZW
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q6c8y1dgH
"Okay, okay, eish," said961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMRkLE7thN
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MRgs6jR29
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypTDYDcGLC
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTxkAUuqHG
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN63e4S5pt4
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMKKZQfqO9
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvuHpAExHZ
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8xf0nhSFa
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.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYL6Arrthj
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmZL3OWfME
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueXX99OS6H
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ0jIfdBv8
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDoXv0dw5o
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0dO8eEwxX
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiKzusF4Fa
"Are you sure?" Daniel 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTw69MNdNf
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpQh0cyfd9
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUvwSkda1O
haters or even us."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH2Bnzalj4
Daniel was right. Zoey 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYk9eGb3ww
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4USUCojvp
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUyFPN9Ndv
telling the truth.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2FB47P5N0
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB93mzdDyoO
"A very nice guy that 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9osSGMInu
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAx3CRAABJ
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx1GaAR8zS
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKjNOFnqrv
I didn't want to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0OUw26czH
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEexkUYqmA
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY9gsRJyq0
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvqPgKfnRO
"And not dead," said 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTPRZR41YY
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqXdailUkM
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9mSsS7uID
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWc1G7D8QZ
"And you better get 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRh2BvjrQO
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPLKOCuT6V
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbLSnUgfQT
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7TRRK2Dg2
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOoINCTxZt
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aQmHaNEst
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ggEQlLU6D
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu6eDTvhhq
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJX4d5S1g9
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMYy1uI0L7
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe3043DHCF
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGISJDYS2l
One by one the BigBang 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEpLWAxm84
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0zgD33Lch
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5lTfyHzR0
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWjftG4HUn
When I went in my room, I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ6HS6jW8o
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDOBg5PugW
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0NXzxf8Xf
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2Lwri2gVL
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVfJ5ArXRh
"About what?" I turned to look at her.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAqB6WsMvH
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ1R40C6JI
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT5kvYdqji
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUmi4VBsv0
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot3cUeoM6N
"Did you see the man's face?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3scKUH5ag9
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXYgcAe2nn
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cUOo5yV0s
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i03YZAFCv
"I bet he is good 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3lbat4I46
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9gjyMAgfm
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9q0c6Dz7W
told her to?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQixiVIpKb
"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?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKvS2qvCW5
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."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDLfxO7ns2
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ280ZxMX4
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaWZDKNdp7
"That we have to find out."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVVQny5i8V
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5JWNz9Dui
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKf4XdkjNP
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcClb0yYVy
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNbhkbIvhV
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pa4uUbPUk
Oh my. Had he told her 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1weV5TcpCr
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXql8vNOA7K
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL58ZpYt2R
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKEjXJ47eV
"What did you talk about?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOwsJDHYyw
"He was just pissed that961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhtiiKrOfl
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdWubFFsZz
that might have upset me or something."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYfcKhjPQV
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpWC7QxW9e
"But he didn't."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyw19hPAaH
"I see why Sam asked," 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIFpexcPg5
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1rWIYg4iO
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tTQpjHJAs
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8PC9CKILb
And I hope it will never961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61BGEWWFVb
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT21dQnEgI3
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroSdHsUXKY
was yet to come at any moment.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99sgLyEIa1
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTmDdj5mw6
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcQHVm0HfH
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpQshB5WBg
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CMmjljw7U
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwmPDYoQ8T
Christine, Zoey and I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFpfIA2Zat
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivZpImp3Gi
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6dXGdGGy4
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlXGgqjgOH
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewDMFrKXPH
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoi7wjAIQJ
"Yes, he is," said Lee 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYJn6k6UID
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gOQLzPx5E
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8tzjZJhE3
well."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DY7Ja6mAy
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1plNygi85
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5uxDfy5s7
"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."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxX0mBdTh8
"Us?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWbwx86nWG
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZwH5Lr2yW
Christine and I rushed 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsWgHluTbO
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8RZ3GZ26m
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr6RedF0SB
hand.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpiC63QJ3f
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7gLmqZ92F
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlDUDwHOvB
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE6NfUhtaE
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrBD7JgJ5Z
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.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC26eB0B4k
I took the letter and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3MCjr0CU4
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwCtmtHema
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBMhaEarEu
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisyZGxcFIb
"That's it?" Mike asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3NLIODnW2
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOYRbJbLjS
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0htL3awkM
"All that the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEngO7I5f0
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bdg8yWsYa
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6yBqgvjHN
My eyes went wide and my961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkleLmkW4T
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sh4dYLorn
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWnryUZW9o
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y9QRA3n8L
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZUsabtX2j
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE6ElAsddG
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqBd3KzkE9
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?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfXgLDwljC
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElhXtJCxA7
Christine threw Daniel 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI005KSEMqO
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXTvSDgRbX
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs10DGSGcoS
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQuPQra9MN
person you barely even knew.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TW8zY5xNx
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKza6KowWu
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6hxYhtfJ5
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHPpsAqNZs
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuboFaxB8fG
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBPQh3MeIN
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjQ6LcYdZC
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK72sXQYU5
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JMyYZhvlW
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3wylf0i16
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Iaisg7OgL
"Okay, but take your 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lsocxX0iG
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjLUT32jxl
last prayers before I leave this earth."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkBltazOt0
I rolled my eyes but I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkndIHIlpX
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71i8FYLxLS
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj9ibeHGz1
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AXEWIR3wj
The other three couldn't961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBqWfunmvm
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CXognMCiK
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgFkLCASfU
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCB79W39gZ
nothing happened.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFboHfHdJ6
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyndwRxiCmt
"What is it?" Christine asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadWFingI5v
I looked up at the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TWCnXwOrp
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuLGeGvhaw
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L053InS8X
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8D20KSsSU
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5tLTPUWlH
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3du6qsfANg
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WWVinktPE
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlzTq9BAge
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrI6AWCMoK
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2xxJ90Zrm
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5Z7yvzyhA
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3j8H0KtD0
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqyzIpP8KP
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmlMtAWV2i
It was then that Zoey 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbkKd0PusS
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTyw59dzrs
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRLBfQBZvr
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NToHWDhPd
stranger who she was with today that sent it.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAM9gAt8R9
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2TTL7d8uq
"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.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYCEGCFAX8
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wpP6SllFD
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pWgmfKlYO
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWItybl8xc
This time, they laughed 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe9mus22WF
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPK9UvTlNu
