Have you ever been awake965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypvf7dtMb1
for so long in your bed with no thought or sign of sleep and your heart965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwvrnG6VlR
isn't at peace because you're afraid of what's going to happen as the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQptmutKyfJ
day goes on?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4Kse1YaFf
That's how I felt right at this moment.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwIJYIkLJ0
I tossed in my bed, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYGJCBps4Q
turning to the side and looking towards the curtain. There was still no 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMchUDUcQz
sign of the sun coming up and I was getting frustrated. I wished the sun965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgYNwoaSPI
could come up so that I could meet my end already.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXLvKuKiW0
I quickly sat up and went for my phone on the drawer close to my bed. I checked the time. It was only 4 AM.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzmJXXVQOz
I fell back on my bed, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2lbZy2Jfo
the back of my head hitting the pillows real hard. I clenched my teeth 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQpcSx3OX0
in irritation. Sunrise felt like forever and I was already tired of 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBo36fiYcJ
sleeping. This had been the third time that I had to wake up and only 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EWASSZhzy
realise that I had only slept for a few minutes. I wish I could sleep 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7EO6u6waq
till sunrise, but waking up three times meant I was too bothered in my 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFFgWpDWSh
mind even to dream.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquWHJTwsou
I turned to my other side where my stuffed panda lay beside me and I cuddled it in my arms.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI5OFleq4A
How I wish I could fall 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAN7QaUzbd
asleep. I admired Zoey whom I could hear snoring slightly in her sleep. I965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF3vXUH8to
stared up at the dark ceiling trying to picture things in my mind but I965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYo6YTWTfr
couldn't. Even my imagination wasn't working.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquh73vosU5
I sighed as I looked at the panda. I couldn't stop thinking of what I was going to do today, especially with G-Dragon and Zoey.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a6QfLkfn2
I knew I now had to face965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w9uwQuT4k
the music. And even though we had quite a hectic day yesterday, Zoey 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNbvHkw7PP
hadn't given up on me about what happened with G-Dragon and me. And even965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB5RLhjCV9
though she was tired when we got back, she still hadn't stopped 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZpsP1Cd8u
bothering me until she finally gave up and went straight to bed.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMptFt69BOF
I knew her persistence 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGfMgtxRVy
was far from over and I had to prepare myself for more of it today. I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCT9QxZen8
know Zoey must be very worried about me, but I was more worried about 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JQ5rP7Vys
her if I had to tell her the truth.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebdWE11Rzy
I know sometimes we 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4WxBRyj9f
people lie to prevent the others we love and care about from getting 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtyXnj8uI5
hurt. But there will come a point in time when you can't keep it to 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzb6xF1pKb
yourself any longer because the guilt will eat you up inside. Sadly, I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HRssghf2m
had now reached that point.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyykdB64vb9
I sighed again as I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7fu7kCwQh
turned again to the other side, taking the panda in my arms with me. 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZNMSn5uBI
What wrong did I ever do to be in the position I was in right now?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UWIJHYFIj
If it came to G-Dragon, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFYHZe1MJ1
he was going to be one person who will be difficult to talk to. I know I965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnnSO923VG
betrayed his trust, and trying to convince him was going to be a whole 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVugHkgcRSe
lot harder.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4TQFAdT2D
How was I going to tell 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVjU2bSSBV
him that yes, Daesung and I did kiss, but all of that happened due to a 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XcjAOS1Tj
completely different story? I know how bad he must be feeling and if I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAHRRktiFI
was in his shoes, I probably wouldn't believe anything I would say 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlpDJTGBir
either.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhQuc7ItdP
I kicked out the bed 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGxmUVi2oy
covers and got up from the bed. And taking Mr Panda with me and my 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo9ppZZMiY
phone, I slipped my feet into my bed slippers and walked out of the room965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jlYXoXWOc
in my purple pyjamas.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNrLpSgRZG
I went straight for the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCBAisJ9Sr
dark, empty lounge and I turned on the lights. I went to sit on the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcRmcwv6Pk
comfortable couch and with my feet up and folded with Mr Panda in my 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkSQ0upCvp
arms, I unlocked my phone and went straight to my contacts and called my965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWiyyt28hx
mum.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXRHoRFoRK
Hopefully, I was calling965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlLgCb9xBx
her at the right time. I wasn't really sure what time it would be back 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv79THtn7qt
home in the U.S. I was too bothered to even try and figure out all this 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorLXhrJ11a
time zones nonsense. I just had to talk to someone. And why not my mum?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPDQKqQihq
I put the phone to my ear hoping she would pick up. I just hope she wasn't busy at work or something.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllwD6GEoMI
She finally picked up the phone on the fourth ring.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR8LYojhnS
"Hello, Sam?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA8xpSj0qJ
"Hi, mum."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZwparaM9Y
"Sam, how are you, dear?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDchLjjT02x
"I'm good. How are you? Are you at work?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK9JnjQRGo
"Yes, I am, sweetie. I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dUfVBF6cL
am just looking at photos online on the computer. A friend of mine just 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVh79DvmBG
told me you guys went out bowling with BigBang."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNnr3MTZQe
"Ah.." I scratched my head. "We did, mum. And we had fun."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I2H3ar98C
"Ya, I can see you guys 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQAol4tFAJ
smiling and laughing on the photos." I could hear clicking in the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRijmBHqh4
background and that confirmed that she was tapping away on the mouse of 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4jPRsi17W
her computer as she looked at the pictures.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChedW52dkQ
"So, was it more like a competition?" she asked. "It's says here that you guys won."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gKda5QPQy
"It was mum. We won," I said with a smile. "You should have seen what happened. It was awesome."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ4xJwuPh2
"I'll check out the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDlIAgayyG
videos later on and see everything for myself, dear," I could hear my 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4fTy0MPHJ
mum clicking quickly on the mouse. "Now tell me. What's bothering you? 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGyDgijY9h
Why aren't you asleep?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAd8xZ6Zru
I raised an eyebrow. "You know what time it is here?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqBvHBwSN5
"I'm your mother, Sam. Of course I know what time it is."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn2t3MeDtG
I could imagine my mum 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxhrsdDM3k
with a stern look on her face as she said that. If we weren't talking on965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt02fshMWgt
the phone and I was standing in front of her, she probably would have 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPZOfnJzB0
her arms folded.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl0T1DN222
"I know its way too early in the morning for you to be awake right now," she continued. "What's up?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRyZLJG7el
"I feel my whole life has been nothing but a lie, mum," I said as I tugged at Mr Panda's ears.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIziewNMzyd
"Your name is Samantha Glasson and you're a famous pop star. That my child, is not a lie."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeax29SX67F
"Mum, you know what I mean when I say that."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7U27tCtGu
She sighed. "What did you lie about this time?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx77nAQvu8N
"I've lied way too much in my life, but this time, I think I'm in a really big mess that I can't seem to get out of."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC1yUUcrUo
"Tell me. I've all the time to listen."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo2HkkBEOY
"I've been lying to Zoey965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC23xiw3ysW
and everyone else about G-Dragon and I, and I don't now how to tell 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0MNSdHdPb
them, especially Zoey since she likes G-Dragon so much. It would crush 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdEE3tM2Vo
her if she finds out G-Dragon likes me and not her."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6swm50ds4
"I thought you girls weren't supposed to date any one of those guys."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30OtXYBwrN
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Wow. Collins really does tell you everything, does he?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56IAjGXFka
"Whatever he tells you, we as parents have to know too. I hope Zoey's mum isn't going to freak when she finds out."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLw16kh3Xb
"Trust me, mum, Collins 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTwuKBAAg5
has no clue with what's going on in our private circle and I suggest 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp3CWHHMzV
that you shouldn't say a word either."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5vUxLhfRt
"Is that a threat?" I imagined my mum's eyebrow raised.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EbdMvrLBe
"You know I can never 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBPUJtNoD9
threaten you, mum. It's just for now until we come back home. It's a 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVZxPx2Yiw
matter of life and death. I've no choice."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegAliHHR92
"I know. But why does Zoey like him?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yu3BWrxHx
"Knowing Zoey, you must know by now the kind of guy she would fall for, mum."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDHgjFC643
"True. But how come she likes him but he likes you? Don't tell me you also like him too."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvnFkB9kDi
"Well....." I hesitated, trying to figure out what to say next.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftqpR6a58L
"Samantha Glasson," my mum's voice sounded stern now. "Tell me the truth."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l7VGJSEXc
I sighed. "I also like him, mum."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoecfr8Asq
There was silence at the other end. Until....965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j9WbERa1F
"WHAT!"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kBWVrrcWb
"Mum, calm down. It's not what you think."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYaBGQwqtm
"Then what is it? The 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfnCnSLB3K
way I'm seeing it, you also like him and you feel guilty because you 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhY7LTbXeM
feel like you're betraying your best friend."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMX4WKZYdD
"It was like that at 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNLvblts6l
first. I really do like G-Dragon but I'm learning to like him as a close965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX3JH0ewXe
friend because I know how Zoey likes him and because of Collins' 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf6fgev8Ex
'golden rule'." I put "golden rule" in quotation marks with my remaining965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjFheHdse9
fingers.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUugBew9IZm
"What do you mean it was like that at first?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRG7ifqqUY
"I like G-Dragon, but he isn't the only one."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8Ib3QQSJu
"Don't tell me you like someone else from the same group too."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcavSP80Dh
I closed my eyes as I winced. "Yes, mum."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrAxOnB0iu
She didn't say a word. I wondered what she was thinking right now.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rYswiv0ga
"You're really in one hell of a mess, dear."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTzRMuLFDs
"And that's not the worst part."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsxGAUfGpm
I told her what happened965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ADOijWbGT
the day Zoey went missing, making sure I didn't mention the stranger in965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCrDajoxvn
the suit. I talked about what G-Dragon and I had talked about in the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HuFXSmuxS
park and what we agreed upon. Then I told her what happened with Daesung965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaTjfCjkwE
and the kiss.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55iVaR6pYe
"You kissed?" my mum sounded surprised.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQDLf9eyDs
"Ssh, and listen."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7iWL536im
I told her that G-Dragon and Zoey saw us but they didn't witness the kiss. And I told her what happened afterwards.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtP8bDnAqW
"You're in a real mess, Sam. You now have two people to tell the truth to."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uET3AzOle
"If it's not Zoey and G-Dragon, then it's the entire group."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAYwkABWqF
"I know. But you can't lie forever now, can you?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPasEJM583p
I thought of what she said. "You're right. We all deserve to know the truth someday."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyFvKTQboE
"Are you scared?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZIobTYYGZ
"I am. Maybe that's why I can't fall asleep." I hugged Mr Panda close to me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkglZoBPFK
"It's okay to be scared, sweetie. And it's good that you decided to come out clean."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDUlUGTmZY
"I don't want people getting hurt because of me." I could now feel tears coming up in my eyes.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYIF3KmcNe
"We all get hurt at some965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WQPJU7Yh6
point in our lives, sweetie. That's why there is a time for everything.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaXbWWxyjh
Just wait and see. After the storm, everything will be back to the way 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz9oaFItNP
it was and everyone will forget about it. Besides, no one can stay mad 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCKW6Txvvn
at you forever, Sam. Not even me."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBfIZNVfxl
I smiled as a tear ran down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQQ33AlVXc
"Thanks, mum." I sniffed.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoSpowEU7W
"Don't cry, okay? You're965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE89MVxz8z
a brave girl. Now, do me a favour and get a few minutes of sleep. You 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84GTu6V1vo
will need all the rest you can get."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ34gF0Vs6
"Yes, mum. I will."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4ZfCo5P4U
"Bye, Sam. Tell me what happens, okay?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGurFD6tmR
"Okay. Bye."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5ZmRU2qHY
I hang up and I quickly 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtpbOXddIZ
got up from the couch with Mr Panda and went back in the room, straight 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQnZ2IYpzJ
into the bed covers. I fell asleep in an instant with Mr Panda in my 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMl0Gg4vBo
arms.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWl7M6ZUto
It must have been some 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUWIptbhA3
time around 7:40 when I finally woke up. The sun rays shone brightly 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvU7ByOWO8
into the room that I had to shield my eyes with my hand from the light.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNg7PkscmC
"Wakey! Wakey!" Zoey came over and sat next to me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu2PcinxdZ
"Mmmm." I murmered as I turned around and covered my head with a blanket. "Leave me alone."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqtQX5nj5E
"You've to get up, Sam. We have a big day ahead of us."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrN7fOEGny
"Isn't it a Sunday today?" I asked as I removed the blanket from my head.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAO8oG7NJc
"Sadly, it isn't, my 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uy7cy799g
dear kitty," said Zoey as she placed her hand on my head. "Looks like 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNxaIyVdhX
you weren't the only one praying for it to be a Sunday."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTpDEVnpyb
"Okay." I muttered as I sat up on my bed and rubbed away the sleep in my eyes.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaicoMwJdG
"You know you have a lot of explaining to do, right?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJz8AGbm03
I yawned, then sighed. "I know. You don't have to tell me."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxcnxGiMd0
"So, start talking right now."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFO4rLOf0W
I looked at Zoey with wide eyes. "You want to talk now?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYo66X0d1l
"Ya. I'm still really worried about you."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOOqUioL25
Looks like I had no choice. This was it. Time to tell the truth.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw80njcYrLk
"What I'm about to tell you, is going to crush you completely, Zoey."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq3l7DGZAK
Zoey turned to look at me with a serious look on her face. "What are you saying, Sam? Is it that serious?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarnCFaVyyZ
"It really is, and I feel bad that I have to tell you."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1KubtTaJt
I hesitated as I looked down at my hands and played with my fingers. Zoey put her hand over mine and I looked at her.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fteVIukgw
"Just tell me, Sam. Even if it's going to hurt."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICh27YQsYa
I closed my eyes bracing myself for impact. My heart was pounding so hard.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpUpUV1SJf
"It's about G-Dragon and I," I said. "I'm sorry to say this but...."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3d6pHQHfd
"You like him, don't you?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYrg4yXCMN
I opened my eyes in shock. That wasn't supposed to happen. And what made Zoey say all that?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2yCGe5VI8
"I..uh...no, that's not it."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3eDawQ4lO
Zoey laughed. "Don't worry, Sam. I know how much you also like him. I'm not mad."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm42V1rt5jO
"Zoey, that wasn't what I...."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt963p8TdC
"Expected from me?" Zoey965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX1AYPfRuF
grinned as she flipped her hair to the side. "I know, you're surprised.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ3vCEC35a
I like him, you like him, the whole world likes him."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz2HALfwVY
"Zoey, I..." Zoey placed her index finger on my lips to keep me from talking further.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxKam8VYL1
"I know you feel guilty 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVETTOuL5w6
that you like him because I do too. Don't worry about it, because I know965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcdawVJjRQ
that you wouldn't try to steal him away from me."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSaa9rsOly
I gulped. What was I going to tell her now? How was I going to her that G-Dragon liked me and not her?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DsSFnHNGW
"Aren't you worried that G-Dragon might just like someone else and not you?" I asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WJtwEjLAI
Zoey shrugged as she was deep in thought. "I haven't thought of it that way. I know that he only has eyes for me."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhgjEkZ6SC
I wanted to slap my 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77Bgu9OHpE
forehead in frustration but I gave Zoey a weird look instead. I couldn't965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2yAZXrnFR
blame her when you were blindly in love. But I had to stop this before 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXHJUCBPNK
it gets out of hand.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cSIYTlm9I
"Zoey, listen to me," I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOxa3ZLuzd
said as I looked at her in the eye. "I admit that I like G-Dragon, but 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNoTAgaKV1
not in the way you think. You on the other hand, need to know that...."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN31d6vFpWi
I paused. That was odd. 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldm0a0yHGO
The words were spilling out of my mouth just fine. What's happened now? I965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO3DsnjMGW
felt someone had just cast a spell on me and now I was tongue tied.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sLe0Ymf0D
Zoey looked at me, irritated that I had stopped talking. "What do I need to know?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzKVrDrCAZ
What was wrong with me? I965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF59YioIKS
had so much confidence when I was talking just now and I still do. But 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYH7jUd8dK
now, I couldn't say anything. I opened my mouth to speak, but still 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudYESiqEcN
nothing came out. Zoey shook her head.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxTOUAuqnq
"You're weird, Sam," 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxy0MDibNI
Zoey stood up from my bed and went straight for the bathroom. "When you 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUDG6ZMGPX
finally have the courage to tell me what you wanted to say, I'll be 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnMDuJnwdx
waiting."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxYUyp7pBN
Zoey closed the door and965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1v2uLbnCh
I heard the shower tap turn on. Oh no! I blew it this time and that 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3g74cgzdI
just proves that telling her the truth was going to be a whole lot 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdEYoH2zI3
harder than I thought.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeARJT43Eqd
At least Zoey knew that I once liked G-Dragon, that's if she really took what I said seriously.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyk4FwNToR
This was all so messed up and I felt like I was going nuts.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSPljMJeWM
I stood up from my bed 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp9uYETwRp
and started to pace up and down, thinking. What happened to me a few 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiJoWfVKVJ
minutes ago? Why couldn't I tell Zoey the truth? Well, half of it, which965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPUbGy4bTf
is the most important part.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLlOJKLPX3
"It's not your portion to say anything to Zoey. And you know it."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTkx3Kc1HD
Whatever my conscious 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QHyZEffZF
was saying inside my head was true. G-Dragon did say that he will end 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiKZUWzjL2
things with Zoey and tell her the truth. Was that why I was tongue tied 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7zO1sdQMc
and I couldn't say anything? I had no any other reason as to why.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNYYwHXBqy
If that was the case, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZaYM2hGkG
then G-Dragon better do it fast. The earlier it was, the better. Before 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK4wzqCsry
Zoey really gets too much involved with him or else she would be 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSgWuopyJR
shattered completely.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbLBgunicv
While I was trying to 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhysH5oMGe3
figure out what to do next, my phone rang and I went on the bed to reach965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOEB4YNgeP
out for my phone that laid on top of the drawer next to the lamp.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IShwHhaTd
When I checked the caller ID, I raised an eyebrow. An unknown number. I wonder who it was?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN7nOTXfkg
I answered the call. "Hello?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezresQA9Ff
"Bonjour, mademoiselle," came a deep husky voice from the phone. The man had a French accent.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATKCEcw8Wg
I held my breath. That 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYamnsSg8z9
sent a chill down my spine. Who was this? Dang it! I'm supposed to be 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEpcLWxGAK
asking that question, not thinking it.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKLnQt5ReU
I cleared my throat. "Hello? May I know who this is?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiosC7QCspG
The man chuckled. "Who I am isn't important. What matters is that we talk."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI3USC96V7
"Talk? Talk about what?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIET8WNZBp
"Did you check the photo I sent you?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7scf2ehkA
"Photo? What...?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zq665AQCk
I paused when I realised the photo he was talking about. I had completely forgot about it.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISBvlo0znl
"Oh!" I slapped my forehead. "I never downloaded it to see what it was." I raised an eyebrow. "What's the photo about?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wpaGABGgv
"If you haven't seen it,965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0Xx2YoIdc
then it's best you see it for yourself. I can't tell you over the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXYibhh7hu
phone. When you see it call me or text, will you, sweetheart?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXrbEb0Pqi
Sweetheart? What was this guy playing at? What was the photo all about?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ43ojDWqSR
"Are you trying to blackmail me with the photo?" I asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwQJTTjMtr
"I wouldn't call it blackmail. But everything would be more interesting if you're involved."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbJogF6fRM
"If I'm involved? What do you mean?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuzhS0gE39
I could soon hear the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj5VMV9vj7
person hanging up and I growled. I looked at my phone like I wanted to 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcahlG7Qme
break it. What was going on today? First, I had G-Dragon and Zoey to 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFCtuDbS17
handle and now, I had this stranger calling me and making things worse.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30SXCAYBAo
I looked back at my 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrjBvvjQXk
phone and started to go straight to my messages. I checked the message I965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJLyATYT3U
had received from the unknown man and I realised that I still hadn't 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGCsZMPKqO
downloaded the picture. I switched on my mobile data and started to 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpYr12wAiy
download the photo.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sr3qkI8QJ
"Sam! Zoey!" Lee came all of the sudden into the room. She almost scared me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9foODOB6rv
"Goodness, Lee!" I held my chest as my heart beat fast. "There is a thing called knocking, you know?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAM3dIjOHB
"I know, I thought you guys were still asleep."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYK6YWOBhl
"No matter," I said. "We're all awake as you can see."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXLVc2elV7
"Okay. Get ready, we have to leave for the studio."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljpGFIqASD
I nodded and Lee left. I965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdKAMbnJVo
went back to looking at my phone. I frowned. The internet was so slow 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMEvqqGQYA
today. The photo hadn't finished downloading yet.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZveVhylG6a
"I'm done," said Zoey as she came out of the bathroom in her towel. "You go get ready."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZbVrzovo2
"I just want to see something first," I said as I pointed at my phone.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLcL3WE7RU
Zoey walked up to me, took my phone and threw it on her bed.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdrihv1Rbr
"Zoey!"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLROkdG5UK
"Not a word, Sam. You're965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCowg1wguC
always the one telling me to get ready and be punctual, but you don't 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNgFWwr55t
want anyone telling you anything. Just go take a shower. I wonder what's965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeEZT36lNR
up with you today."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4b9V0fImc
If only she knew. So 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZDufHdJnk
many things were running in my mind that I couldn't seem to focus on one965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UmIyeTIPy
thing because something else would just pop up all of the sudden.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmN24uzKjJ
I went to the bathroom 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYFUZdd9hw
and locked the door behind me. Before I could undress and get into the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gw5TzEmGg
shower, I went over to the mirror above the sink and looked at my own 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlFRly1cWQ
reflection.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cYhvlxJhy
I looked like I hadn't 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbwuMmNaGD
had sleep in days with all the dark circles underneath my eyes. I was 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bOVU4wSVh
deeply troubled, that's for sure. My problems just got increased by one 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdbjs7Xzd3
if not by two.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuerZxmiKwl
G-Dragon and Zoey were 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaGGvgnf0x
my main problem to tackle today. And all of the sudden, an unknown 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF1irGSbMD
stranger calls and tells me about the photo which I had no idea or clue 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKQn9uihkA
about. And why he sent it to me was the most confusing part. If he 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldnuOyyV33
wasn't blackmailing me, then what was this charade about?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE591GZOqNi
After I took a quick 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBI0LUqbf9
shower, I quickly went back in the room and I went straight for my phone965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2gyKAKtfo
on Zoey's bed. Zoey had already dressed up and she went past me into 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe80BuSGXCB
the bathroom to get her makeup done.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpFlUKdYkO
I unlocked my phone. I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aNcZMfoou
was pretty anxious about the photo that even my hands were shaking. The 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1SiPND8LW
photo must be done downloading by now.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FB9cEb8m9
Just as I unlocked the phone, it vibrated. Someone was calling me. Oh no! What now?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynEix0KE1k
Seungri was calling. What could he probably want to talk to me about this early in the morning?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMIduAn3vC
"Hello, Seungri?" I answered.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAmx3eXCv9
"Morning, my panda," said Seungri.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY3vWOwrhH
"Morning. How was your night?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nn6cUtIb7
"My night was perfect, since I dreamt of you."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaT8TUmFXO
If I was myself, I would have blushed by those words. But now, I was as confused as ever and I didn't know what to say next.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdatMtCE68
"Oh, wow," I said, trying to act a little surprised. I hope he bought it.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gMckDmRBi
"I've a little something I want to give you when you get to YG."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OdvYCWq6V
I smiled a little. At 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRttz0zKh7
least out of all that was going on, Seungri managed to make me smile, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi976kk1BeT
which was quiet peculiar because he didn't say anything funny. I was 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2T6WItil3
already imagining another huge stuffed panda waiting for me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT8V0R6j06
"Can't wait," I said with a little laugh. "See you."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUZWaGB9Xx
"You too."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkPudtflPT
He cut the line and I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpH0d33VSE
threw my phone on the bed. I decided to dress up first and have my 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcqlBpCwfm
breakfast, before Zoey came back in the room and start to pressurise me 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9gCpNbRka
again. I had already pissed her enough this morning.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfOD7YbhdP
After I dressed up and 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cjQSuqy11
Zoey had left for breakfast, I went in the bathroom to get my hair done 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SypNrYRm0
and applied a bit of makeup to hide my dark circles. When I was done, I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOVhpchQd8
went back in the room and without a thought of making my bed, which I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ9FH08yd3
always did, I wore my black pumps, grabbed my phone and went out of the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9l7Gjn37y
room.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgvzoe7cA9
Just as I got into the lounge, I made a bee line to the dining table. Everyone was at the table eating their breakfast.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjrFOzqswX
"Someone isn't themselves this morning," said Collins as he watched me approach the dining table.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tmT396PYP
I knew he was talking about how late I was today. I was usually the earliest to be at the dining table.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9TvbJcDIP
"Sorry," I said as sat down next to Lee. "I was pretty bummed up, that's why."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rOAt3Cd7k
"No pressure, just eat up, we have a lot of work to do today."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ8pbfE3PJ
There was a variety of breakfast options today and I decided to take some cereal, which I haven't had in a while.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm51PuUoSn
As I got the box of cereal and poured the contents in the bowl in front of me, I couldn't help feel all eyes were on me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhDAW66xfw
I looked up and just as I had guessed it, all eyes were definitely on me. What had I done now? I put the box of cereal down.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0gVm9X4wt
I looked at everyone at the table and when they didn't say a word, I shrugged my shoulders.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gLvejUKit
"What?" I asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdZAtBuxYP
Mike who sat opposite me cleared his throat. "You're eating cereal."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QRf6qipNQ
I frowned. "So?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Xwr3HWuY
"But there is bacon and eggs with toast," said Daniel.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi1y1ryn7K
I was still confused. "So?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9lzTMFggH
"You usually don't eat cereal when there is bacon, eggs and toast," said Collins.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0hZXV8i4i
"And cereal is kind of like my thing," said Daniel.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JEI30ZHjh
I don't know if I just hit my head or I had now landed in Crazy Town. What was wrong with just having cereal for a change?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqafIQPmmZ
"I don't see the harm in965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsiHNFTj5C
eating cereal. I have oatmeal whenever I feel like it and that's still 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVdt7CJMoZ
cereal," I said. "I just wanted something different for a change. Is 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecinPkmJMB
that wrong?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pJaZoJ41l
Everyone else looked at each other and then they looked back at me, shaking their heads.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hWBDfgCGp
"Thank you," I said as I got a jug of milk and poured into the bowl. "I haven't had sweet cereal in a while and I miss it."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmkRfnM8G0
"I can see that," said 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M5FZT3D1N
Zoey as she drank from her cup of coffee. I knew she was making fun of 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqQkj3xDrR
me but I decided not to say anything.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLDaE2MnyN
When we were done with 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg0T8B9aQL
breakfast, we headed downstairs in the lobby and the black SUV was 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3EncvYdD5
waiting for us as usual. When we got in, I made sure to take the back 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHhjM9uNm2
seat with my brothers next to the window so that I would avoid people 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNki5LebqS
looking at my phone.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJaCLwHnyc
When everyone in the car965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtlkBMqmpy
was engrossed in some conversation that I had no interest in joining in965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OgPAFsEHA
or listening to, I decided to check my phone. The photo was done 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12fxXONlkB
downloading and what I saw made my mouth drop and my eyes pop.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7J5TlG4Hp
"What's wrong, Sam?" Mike who sat next to me asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg68wgQH1q
I quickly pressed the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6ipAonoTz
power button on the side of the phone and blacked the screen. Mike was 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbvDWlh5JY
already leaning onto my side to see what was on my phone.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡittrG0LXsF
"Nothing, just some scary video," I said.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb05rNas3qK
"May I see?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRZffIpIqT
"No. You won't be sleeping for the next two days."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSANzpClQUP
"I've watched horror movies before. I can handle a little scare."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AgYO1eJPt
"No can do, bro," I said as I put my phone into my purse that I had decided to carry with me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxo0cpVh9v
Mike leaned back and folded his arms. "Whatever."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQLj2l5jqP
I wish I could tell him 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcYBITiK1I
and everyone else what was going on. But at the moment, I felt like 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztyaTmytC6
keeping everything to myself, not after what I had seen.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiIbwGebBv
Now that I had seen the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGfQxa269Y
photo, I had to meet up with the stranger and talk about all this. But 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfN4MY89Qg
where to meet the person and when was going to be a hustle. It was 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuzd2UMoqM
pretty obvious that I had to meet him alone.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiXBXCabqZ
Speaking of which, I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjRzfhh2dV
still had to convince G-Dragon about telling Zoey the truth. Now how was965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiIt8V1Mit
I going to do that given the little time I had in my hands? We had a 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wjHOJail4
music video to prepare for and we had to start working on the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyvpMu1HrE
choreography today. This was hectic. And I knew that if I was pushed 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyXu102Ib2
further onto the edge, I would burst.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CFfsRydzs
Time seemed so short, given that I was thinking of ways to do things today. The next thing I knew, we had finally arrived at YG.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdWYHILk1w
My heart skipped a beat.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiO9Yhc06d
I swallowed. This was it. G-Dragon was probably with the others waiting965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd15c46l7Tc
for us inside. For a moment, I didn't want to go in. But I had no 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N2OUkyidz
choice.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt84ZA1BmeQ
As soon as I stepped out965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuk48bq0ja
of the vehicle, I took a deep breath as I looked at the entrance. I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yTo8Q5gth
felt like I was about to walk into hell and that frightened me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFY7RvVdGO
"Are you okay, Sam?" Christine asked as she came to stand in front of me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA92gBXVmnD
"I'm fine," I said. "I just realised that I haven't really thought of any ideas for the music video."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBZIN1bjD0
"You're aren't the only 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ksXYcICu9
one," Christine said with a smile. "Let's just hope our minds will get 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreTUPm0Wrb
to work on that when we get in there."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlmnV687xe
I managed to put up a 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAq0rFtY36
smile, but I knew my mind wasn't going to be on full throttle today. How965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfbDfAuZsd
I wish this wasn't happening to me right now.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSJN2QUsOI
As I came into the lobby965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNrtHNcGyl
with Christine, we found Collins talking to the receptionist. The rest 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJxwnsTXvA
were heading towards the elevator and we joined them.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NqTbgIfJM
"You will be going up to the dance studio," Collins said as he turned to us. "The others are waiting for you there."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9POLv3Kf9X
"Okay," the others responded. I for one felt really jumpy at the moment.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg121PFSJY
We all got in the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswhT6hIfjU
elevator and Mike was busy talking about some dance moves he had come up965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6lGPecU2m
with and I wasn't really paying attention though I did get one or two 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRVlgDrsB9
things.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBobRGAAaM
We got to the dance 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ppMG79jRg
studio while Lee and Collins decided to go upstairs to meet with Yang 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIqTO5Rcgz
Hyun-suk. We checked a few dance studios before we finally found them.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBfnGECzWv
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted so enthusiastically as we came in the room.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBlimBUjY7
I was too lost in 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdcYvM6Hiq
thought to even reply to the other's greetings until Seungri came up to 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDzutRdNVC
me and hugged me. That brought me right back down to earth.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq9dZdDC2h
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Seungri asked, still hugging me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PFnejFEkx
"I'm fine," I said, as I pulled myself away.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3SkYAPpbW
"If I know you well, you look pretty occupied in that head of yours," said TOP as he walked up to us.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7BfCmDofM
"Tell me about it," said965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0LJGavEMf
Zoey as she was now on the floor with Daesung standing right beside her965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7aVwsqOLP
and she was removing her shoes. "She's been weird all morning."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3niSie7Wbq
"How weird?" Taeyang asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatSKPR3Us8
"Too weird," said Daniel.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaEEg43wZw
"Cut me some slack, guys," I said. I looked at Taeyang. "They are just saying nonsense."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0IO5zAblT
"Says the person who was so late to wake up today," said Zoey.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkXagzF5rY
"And ate sweet cereal for breakfast instead of bacon, eggs and toast," said Christine.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqRXCbZyM0
"And refused to give me her phone to check out what she was watching," said Mike.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMW2QAWbD6
I shrugged. "So? And Mike, seriously? Just over a phone?" I shook my head at my brother.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2VQYqRMNg
"It's not like you, Sam," said Daniel. "That's all we are trying to say."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfViiaYC360
I rubbed my forehead. "Look, guys, I'm just a little bummed out because of yesterday. Is that so wrong?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90UomLY3dK
"No, I think something is bothering you," said Zoey, still on the floor.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd1buE5g7P
"I'm fine. Trust me. My mind is pretty tired."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMceRgcKdE3
"Come on, guys, let's not stress her out because of this," said Daesung. "If she says she is tired, then she is."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPVuTnJXne
Zoey slapped Daesung's leg with her hand and Daesung looked down at her. "Don't try to defend her."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD2NnaLIhQ
"I'm not."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTMewT2zuE
Zoey snickered at him and I knew why. She still remembered the little incident yesterday with Daesung and me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ4C5e8O5Q
"Where is G-Dragon?" Daniel asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBeRqb4Aqz
I looked around the room and I noticed that GD was the only group member who wasn't here.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0edmVcYH3L
"He went to get the choreographer," TOP answered.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTjoNpZJWH
"Now, Sam, about your little problem...." said Mike, turning to face me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdZiYtJoM8
"Not now, Mike," I said as I folded my arms. "You can attack me later, just not now."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HAny6CHtB
"Not to worry, my little kitty," said Seungri who stood right behind me. "Maybe this will cheer you up."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS61SIVYota
Before I could turn 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJedy6p8hUe
around to ask what he meant, I felt something settle at the top of my 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MumHQepsW
head. My hand reached up for whatever it was.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8qcHfAN4S
"A lovely crown for the lovely queen of k-pop," said Seungri.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6DyZAgZAu
I took the crown from 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12UXAm3Ww5
the top of my head to look at it. It looked more like a tiara but it was965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKsvSX9KpJ
big enough to be called a crown. It was silver and studded around with 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnkodPolZs
what looked like real diamonds. Perched in the middle surrounded by 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR61jgytuo
diamonds was a sapphire stone in an oval shape.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZhpzuq7As
"Wait, are these real diamonds?" I asked as I turned to look at Seungri with a surprised look on my face.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG91YkfrVy
"It is," said Seungri 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59FbOGwppz
with a huge smile on his face. "And I know how much you value sapphire 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXbJjte5Pa
stones because it's your birth stone."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz78u4BpVQ
"Aww! Thank you so much,965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXkDziULs6
Seungri!" I gave him a hug and I couldn't stop smiling. Somehow, I knew965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5NXThUism
he was going to brighten up my day today.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvffY808AD
"So pretty, let me see," said Christine, as she came and took the crown from my hand. "Wow!"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMT9NGj0rN
"I want to wear it," 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7plK0rTX2
said Zoey as she got up from the floor and rushed to look at the crown. 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfR0SA43lt
Christine put the crown on Zoey's head.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3RIykwPtK
"Don't I look like a 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XPQTEXxcf
true queen?" Zoey asked as she looked at her reflection through the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iQMvFdzCh
studio mirrors that lined up the walls of the room.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxdRWaxtHK
"You look like that evil witch in those fairy tale fantasy movies," said Mike.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRZlXfYcpy
"Haha, very funny," Zoey said as she turned to look at Mike.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYw3cBKo4y
"When did you even have the time to get it done, Seungri?" I asked, still a little surprised.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcb1mwFxne
"I have my way of doing things just to impress you," said Seungri with a corky smile.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyanyH502I
"Thank you. You don't know how much you just made me smile."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRw0UEvNFC
"It can clearly show on your face." Seungri softly pinched my cheek and I blushed.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3Vr8Bd3lT
"I should get my own crown," said Christine who also wore the crown and was looking at herself in the mirror.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn4qIx7awz
"May her royal majesty 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQGeWIXOap
get her crown back?" Taeyang asked as he came behind Christine and took 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ9ouEUr36
the crown from her head. He came up to me and put the crown on my head.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmncSLKN8N
"Oh, hail the queen!" Taeyang chanted and I broke into a laugh, playfully hitting him on the shoulder.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg5A22pHPu
"Stop it, will you? You're making me blush," I said, trying to cover my laugh with my hand.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mbcgywM5K
"You look just like a real queen, Sam," said TOP.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehn7ZpiQgF
"Thanks." I was still blushing like crazy.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgw59YXFKl
"Let me take a photo," said Daesung, pulling out his phone.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Y1IIZNPJ
"Ya. The whole world should see the queen of k-pop," said Zoey.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6noQ6P8TCy
"Are you really calling me that?" I asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1OLC5FDWp
"We did win last night, didn't we?" Zoey asked. "Of course I'm calling you that."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbozupQvzmy
I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't really taking it that seriously. It was nothing but a game."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47sfQ4rFhg
"A game we won. Cheer up. We are all kings and queens with you."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NInKc4sxy
I looked on at Zoey trying to smile as best as I could, but somehow I couldn't.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfPByPsZYa
She couldn't tell the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBlIutAA7I
look on my face because she didn't even ask. Daesung went ahead and took965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfZNSwmoIu
pictures of me, and then we huddled together as a group to take a group965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBpJZVjpSC
photo with me in the middle.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNgMKZ4wBO
"Hey, what's going on here?" G-Dragon asked as he came in the room.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlZox8Mbjm
"Taking photos with the queen," said Daniel.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CTxGTXpwE
"The queen?" G-Dragon looked confused until he saw the crown on top of my head. "Oh..."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2gJrawmgN
"It's pretty, isn't it?" Zoey asked. "You should also get me one."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdnhU6UtAi
"I can make a gold one if you want," said G-Dragon.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RMqlWwHHt
Zoey smiled. "Even better."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxiZ4ffEw7
G-Dragon turned to 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwk7Sjlne7
Taeyang. "The choreographer is going to be here any moment now. So I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoznwtPeaI
suggest we bring out your ideas if you have any. We can start without 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HR71iKEyT
him and he will find us."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGEVegZDZF
"Mike told me over the phone earlier that he had some brand ideas," said Taeyang.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32oxDIUiqW
"Ya, I do," said Mike. "You guys just watch. I have the song in my phone so I'll play it from there."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd91ZjPd7iN
We all stood on one side965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeNObHhNwT
of the room while Mike took off his jacket and got his phone to search 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFf3amqzUV
for the track. He gave Daniel to hold the phone and when he positioned 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHG8HZeIUx
himself in the middle of the room and turned to look at us.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpPw0giXRO
"So, I was thinking, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92cr5EzYFS
since G-Dragon and Zoey start the first verse, they should open up the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O5Q3ecqtq
dance floor. So, I need someone to act as Zoey so that I could show you 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfpBJXBtYC
guys."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56MQH8QJl2
Christine came forward 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzZD1u9a12
and Mike gave her a few instructions on what to do. She nodded her head 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNnqSAAqdG
and Mike told Daniel to press the play button on cue.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmjoSXqWSC
With Christine and Mike 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2z9ljgwSf
each facing opposite directions with their backs touching, the music 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNGxFwXXUi
started to play. Still not looking at each other, the two started the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSiLBLZ3mf
dance with each of them taking a step forward, breaking the contact 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhMGxtgstH
between them and then like a powerful force pulling them, they dragged 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVXuO17qKn
themselves back and they again their backs touched.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtN52sxFhe
With a bit of skilful 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytyICkPeBA
footwork, they turned to face each other and with their hands, they drew965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxufOCLeRuv
closer and then skidded away from each other with their hands in the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEqQthP9nx
air.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzmUKRVi5z
"Then you guys will come in through the middle then make a formation in front."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcaLZHkPLi
"That's pretty awesome," said Taeyang.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkXeRYssWp
"Very smart," said G-Dragon.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAL5JEKTOQ
"Let's practise that," said Zoey taking G-Dragon's hand and taking him in the middle of the dance floor.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9H1GxnJch
"I'll take you through the moves," said Mike as he faced them.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYPktJHg8C
"Your brother is a total genius, isn't he?" TOP asked as he stood next to me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzERuQOthbm
"Ya, he is," I said with a smile.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEjekNOvM8
The door soon opened and965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AIqLHyKfY
the person who I guessed was our choreographer walked in. We stopped 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DCobLKm7g
what we were doing and bowed as he came further in the room.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE9ezxLOvo
"So, I see you guys are already getting started," said the choreographer.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTmPuBZQ7U
"Yes, we are," said Seungri.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MbiRzSnka
"Okay, let me see what you have done so far."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9qucKiV1i
Mike and Christine 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkbuxUC3r8
stepped forward and the music playing on Mikes phone, they did the dance965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeDnKUurDl
routine. After their hands broke apart, Mike explained how the rest of 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hSQZMQsau
us will come in the scene.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHX69vKxIf
"Mmmm," the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtJQgMhXNu
choreographer looked on at Mike as he tapped his chin. For a moment I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R8YDl3xcE
thought he was going to say something bad, but he didn't.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvrNAmV330
"I like it," said the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9quyb76v1
choreographer. "So far, the starting part is brilliant. I wouldn't have 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR38PGUNZu
thought of anything better. Now let's see if Zoey and G-Dragon could 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruoBAjKVgI
quickly work on their moves then we will come to the part when everyone 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1vAjQOrAw
comes in."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEBi6a3gbV
Zoey and G-Dragon took 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuSFsEAT7z
to the center and with Mike telling and showing them what to do, they 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiK18D0XuN
did so accordingly. After a few tries, they got the hang of it and they 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eXMX5k1Us
were perfect.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9GYLlJzh6
"Excellent," said the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6TzGbvNYP
choreographer as he stood in front of us. "Now, when they break apart, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zynv2yjvr
that's when the rest of you guys come in through the space in between 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KCPHUsLNZ
them like a doorway. We will come in a straight line and then make a 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4Mk7yfW8J
formation in front of them."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnRCTnV5a0
We did as the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVPnNrX3rf
choreographer said and the next hour, we were practising our hearts out 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70tC4bxiiy
for the music video. We made a few mistakes here and there, but we got 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub5lgNbjJX
the hang of it.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOksBWdy3Kf
A few minutes later, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WfKfS3Z75
most of us were splayed on the floor after the choreographer announced 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5zVFuJAV1
that we can take a break with some of us with our backs on the floor and965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj2wLBUhQh
staring at the ceiling. Others were seated.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLuufad68l
"This is why I hate dancing," said TOP, laying opposite me staring at the ceiling.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZS0QwJmbA
I laughed, also staring 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WA4bxoEDr
at the ceiling. "I love dancing. It just makes you forget about all your965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7kQA0OuuO
problems for a while. It's kind of like sleeping."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG9AksbSNv
"Ya, true," said Christine who also had her back on the floor and laid a few feet away from me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzca76glxd
Speaking of problems, I completely forgot about that French guy.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1minCsZfN
I quickly scrambled up 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0zetAfAyp
from the floor passing Mike and Taeyang who were seated on the floor and965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6SsN2w5Jy
still talking about the dance moves. I went to the corner of the room 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbBekqwcYx
where we had piled up our shoes and phones and my crown. I got my purse 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKMk6cHNGA
and removed my phone.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgN2bpndR0
I sent a message to the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK9PNE3Uph
stranger telling him that I had already seen the photo. Thinking that he965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn22UYOb2zt
would reply later on, he repiled in an instant. That was fast. I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DBGxWOpK0
imagined he had been waiting for me to either call or text.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcx7gaS18r
"Good. We should meet."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihCqiI5PgC
Was this guy serious right now? I was really busy and meeting him didn't sound like a good idea. I texted back.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaykutoc8K7
"I can't see you today. I'm kind of busy."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPJZ3wZ13p
"But this is a very important issue, Sam."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd1yWjqmIo
Great. He was calling me by name now? How I wished I knew his.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgyMybNMhu
I texted, "what happens if I don't meet with you today?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59FuKvXnZW
"You're one smart 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHrPn6vMmE
girl. I don't have to explain because you know what will happen when the965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgvIwt9JOD
whole world sees this. It's today or never. And never comes with 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbj17l3KSi
consequences."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsoJZym2Oi
I growled. This guy had put me in a tight corner and I couldn't refuse.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbQc6MnTW5
"Fine. I'll tell you when to meet when I'm done."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrowcPGoyLx
"That's my girl."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ipfKIvgW6
I wanted to throw up. I bet this guy was way older than me and him calling me his girl made me nauseous.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK4U9QGsht
As I tucked my phone 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1SO6Qw9aW
back into my purse, I looked up and everyone was still resting. Luckily 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2O3Ek6tkn
their eyes weren't on me. I went to lay back down with TOP when I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL8mA8z7nY
realised that Mike and Taeyang weren't the only ones engrossed in their 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55iaVM9E2f
own conversation. G-Dragon and Zoey were too.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7SWIQdjR4
I looked at them and unlike the others, they were whispering. I wondered what they were talking about in secret.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWa7YI7PFr
When they both turned to965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZp2p5cJFw
look at me, they quickly looked away again. My face turned pale. Oh, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKdoqviIUk
no. Were they talking about me? Their look sent me weird vibes and I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdltOqQzHiZ
couldn't help but feel that they were.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcBz28w48j
I laid back down 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NmKQ0T6a4
pretending that all was alright. I stared up the ceiling as I thought. 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB5BfBsSmD
Could it be that Zoey was telling G-Dragon about the conversation the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy8DEi4ujO
two of us had in our room this morning?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmnKfAqeWf
Yikes! If she did, then I965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JXwbmpcia
had just made a bigger mess for myself, again. If I'm right, (hoping 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfp0FlUWRn
that I'm wrong) G-Dragon wouldn't like this at all. We agreed that he 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBrZFfDpsb
would tell Zoey everything. And just a few hours ago, I had almost told 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbM5pRG9jp
her the whole truth. So much for trying to be honest.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBvs5E1hic
Still in my own thoughts, the door to the studio opened. Collins, Lee and Yang Hyun-suk came in.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7IwXpUSsT
"I see you guys are bummed out," said Collins with a smirk on his face as he looked at each of us.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO9B47woyr
"Ya, we are," said Seungri, his back also on the floor.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcS0bTjUgs
"Okay, guys, sit up, we have something to tell you," said Yang Hyun-suk.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ubs7Ay57r
Most of us who were on lying on the floor sat up and looked on intently at our managers and Lee.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgbwEzpLdr
"We came up with where we will be shooting the music video," said Yang Hyun-suk.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnX4jJX2jB
"Where?" Christine and Daesung asked at the same time.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Lbp8GV4fj
"Caribbean Bay," answered Collins.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKtHNnCpbf
"Caribbean Bay?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW41p0NhwY
"It's not the only place we would be shooting the video," said Lee, tilting her head at me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4XQITEeIG
"But it would be more likely that we would shoot it at Caribbean Bay?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lrirXWy20
"That's right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Do you think it's a bad idea?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVY43eAKst
"No. It sounds great."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWIHFTc2qy
"Well, the song is based on fun," said Zoey. "And we did have fun there."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PPJvipyeb
"Well, not for some of us who ended up playing cop," I said, replaying in my mind what a hectic time I had that day.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju2Yn3NoRg
"Haha, that was fun," said Daniel, staring off into space with a smile.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVtGAPTmHq
"So, you finish up the choreography today and then we can start shooting the video on Monday."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPD1PYH4M1
"But can't we meet tomorrow?" I asked. "You know, to perfect the dance and all?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxMP52PL8t
"I don't think people will like to meet on a Sunday," said Collins.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzSGIU1hUU
"True," said Taeyang.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFH9y9RShy
"Okay," I said, feeling a965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdzjccJmH8
little disappointed. That meant we had to finish up and perfect the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfOyXrbkMt
dance routine today. And I don't know what time we will be done.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkTdQuNPgT
"Okay, we'll leave you guys," said Yang Hyun-suk.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEfkcBMnQu
After the three had 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk5eIzirrs
left, we went back to what we were doing, waiting for the choreographer 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwijePyIGg
to show up because he was coming in with some backup dancers.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxaJ7tZPRO
While we waited, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8Y0Ip7GyT
G-Dragon came over to me, his head hovered over my sight as I still laid965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfTAPGSGlA
down on the floor. I looked up at this face and couldn't make up the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa78W5aPs2
expression on his face.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISTYuc8uGz
"Sam, we need to talk," he said, as he looked down on me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KrgDDaWfc
He sounded serious and I965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi8YHlVANT
couldn't say no. I tried not to show that I was scared but I could feel965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB1bK7MCSe
my body tremble. All I did was nod my head.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiuICRItP9
"Let's talk outside," he said and he went ahead of me out of the room.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSfwOuZ0sJ
I got up from the floor 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIQU8Oql5h
and I realised that everyone was looking at me now, obviously wondering 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpLhelYSyP
what was going on. I ignored them and none of them asked anything as I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx9oz6sbOz
stood up from the floor and walked out of the room.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftkmsPHuG8
I found G-Dragon three 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIubV2NMUc
doors down the hall, obviously trying to avoid anyone from listening to 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9qR1UJ8OB
our conversation. I quickly walked up to him with his back facing me. I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGR7xJIjrS
stopped a few feet away from him taking extra precaution not to be too 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibhAVOYPBp
close.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yki78sRJr
"I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" I asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAXo42kWbf
G-Dragon turned to look at me and I could see he was upset. It was good that I wasn't that close to him in the first place.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vJMkJnNGP
"It's about Zoey," he said.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHVq90ItAt
I gulped. "Zoey must have told you what happened this morning, didn't she?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMkw3iT5SU
"She did," he said as he nodded his head. "What's up with you lately? Didn't we agree that I would tell her everything?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGJUhLq2Xt
"Sorry, I just.... I couldn't keep lying anymore."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwbNuHcWA2
"Really? That's all you can say?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG7qjOEbH0
"Well, it's the truth. And besides, I never told her that you liked me, because I couldn't bring myself to."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAP3nwo3zI
"But you almost had."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcuzE6Ctr5
"Yet I couldn't."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhbaNKOEWU
"Zoey is right. You're 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGAiNTlXkN
been acting really weird today. Weird enough to tell her the truth when 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOq2aqwfR3
you know I was supposed to do it."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq8R9PDHGb
"Well, you were taking too much time and I couldn't help myself seeing the way how angry you were yesterday and now."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuiHQD3tjM
"And so telling the truth would help solve my anger issue? Or are you jealous of Zoey because she is happy with me?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJZTfUltqd
I paused before I could say, "what?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdACzkzPhL
"You heard me loud and 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xi99ZLckL
clear, Sam. As though kissing Daesung wasn't enough, you're now trying 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi34rCuxiP
to take matters into your own hands."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ahj8McIO4
Oh no. He knew Daesung and I kissed. I wonder how he found out because I didn't tell anyone about it. Not even Zoey.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs6hXB9Rg0
"Wait, that's not true," I said.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSBVFgYQwX
"Which one? You kissing Daesung or taking matters into your hands?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPulhoi765t
I now realised that I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpHHLsPFln
was stuck. This time I couldn't tell if he was sure that I had kissed 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHmkH9nW0R
Daesung or he was trying to test me to see what I would say to prove his965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfPXY6FzfV
assumption right. But there was no point in hiding now. The truth was 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLUGgkusDd
bound to come up sooner rather than later.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYabU3ikIG
"Aren't you going to answer? Which one of the two?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSurSNBJJ88
I sighed. "You're being ridiculous, GD."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1VXjmRpr1
"But I'm not and you know it." He took a step closer. "Now answer the question. Which one?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYHB5SYGLv
"If you want to hear it, then fine. I did kiss Daesung but it's not what you think."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrZTjgSIpi
G-Dragon took a step 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8xgGUhVZT
back. "I knew it. You tell me you want nothing to do with me and then 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2krIaMysCK
you kiss my best friend who is like a brother to me!"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8LOWtBURG
"You wanted the truth, didn't you? You got one! But backstabbing you wasn't what happened."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rcptfo6ed
"Then what did happen?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq7AP65Iaw
"All of this is nothing 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDmZL4X1Sj
but a misunderstanding. I never went back on my word. Things just 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjmkrPoLs4
happened that I myself couldn't control."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A199gJey8
"Don't lie to me, Sam."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Aeqo0AnQ
"You know what, I'm 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qAIhpxAHl
trying my best here to try and tell you the truth but you're acting like965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAJVPormEL
a deaf person blocking my words out. I knew from the very beginning 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm49KceGAvS
that I could never be with you nor with Daesung and I have accepted it. I965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsafWnyNej
talked about that with him yesterday. That's why he kissed me."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2veOVJiSp1
G-Dragon shook his head. "So you're saying that he kissed you and not that you kissed him?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZkRnqXj7d
"Yes. But I know you 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2smpNsfTJv
won't believe me. Unlike you, at least Daesung realised and accepted it 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNDoq4xWLr
for himself that he and I could never be together."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGrOkEyewR
I looked at G-Dragon and I knew I hit the spot. I just hope that what I said would make him understand.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwOdzKZeJu
"The sooner you accept all this, the better it would be for all of us," I said.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMk0G5IidK
I turned around to head 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCWmLPoSwe
back for the studio. As I walked away, I realised that I wasn't upset or965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWgtdu84J6
angry. I was frustrated and my problems were far from over.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3EprZ9rNt
When I came back in the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LfveaCx7A
studio, all eyes were on me as soon as I walked in. I could tell on 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1baPSMT0N
their faces that they had heard the entire conversation.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHBkuEaFMb
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB9OehcZoN
I didn't want to beat around the brush. "No. I'm not."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8B1a1vkUS
I came in further into the room and sat down on the floor, not looking at the others.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr0PN0kwAW
"You and G-Dragon were arguing," said Zoey as she came to sit down beside me. "Would like to talk about it?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBQsJKu6Sw
I looked at Zoey. "I'm certainly not the one to tell you what's going on."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOuLx223yt
I went back to looking at the floor. My chin rested on my knees and I hugged myself, lost in thought.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf59Zydmqpj
I heard the door open 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu23fSsV4sD
behind me and I knew G-Dragon had come into the room. At the corner of 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCWiBmeqY9
my eye, I could see Zoey turn towards the door.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOti6o8bBJ8
"Care to explain to us what's going on?" Mike asked G-Dragon. "You two argued and we could hear you guys down the hall."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X0BMTHxhm
"It's nothing," I heard G-Dragon say.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjci7gkESkB
"It's nothing? Looking at both of your faces, something did happen," said TOP.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuWsiyUBWf
"Look guys," I said as 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReYOzxx6bF
quickly stood up from the floor and turned to face them. "Tell me if I'm965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rcVAsXrfc
wrong, but you guys heard the entire conversation, right?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7PfNBXPKr
No one said anything and they had guilty looks on their faces. That settled it.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct4p5mF6CH
"I'm sorry you had to hear all that," I said as I scratched my head. "We shouldn't have been so loud."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA49htY4Cx
"Why didn't you two tell us all this before?" Seungri asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmzh1EjdUH
I didn't say anything 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRYFdsdWCM
and neither did G-Dragon. We looked at each other and then at the others965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuBst2V30M
who were waiting for either of us to say something.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg7NgxzLtP
Before anyone could 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVtwC9ioQT
break the silence, the door to the studio opened and the choreographer 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7uOGy0MwU
came in with some backup dancers and pretending like nothing happened, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q58UAYXpW
we went back to practising.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNBaUAe4nL
I don't know how I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjtJ3Pfa5I
managed to go through the entire dance session without making a mistake.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1bwmaHfqe
Not after what happened some minutes ago. Now that everyone knows 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqR7ihxjuc
what's been going on between G-Dragon and I, it was supposed to affect 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWylOwWdQK
me in some way but it didn't. I felt bad, but right now I had to keep my965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDBnGinYnL
head in the real world and not mess things up.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvthjkKE7s3
It was lunch time and 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlROr2deU7
again we took a break. We were almost done with the dance routine but I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1KEFN3QDz
was so tired, I wondered if I would be able to meet up with the unknown 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ426GX7l2Zc
stranger.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaZpIrKHaT
Now that we were on a 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCLkCHiNAV
break, no one said anything to each other even after the choreographer 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT9dmqQC2S
left with the backup dancers. As much as I would have loved to say 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9wpdAiuTz
something to the others concerning the argument, I couldn't. It was just965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxmhPJs1tF
too awkward for me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hPnqnYxaZ
Zoey cleared her throat first. "Mmmm, so are we going to talk about this or are we going to have lunch?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslXul7qv5o
I looked at Zoey. "You and G-Dragon have a lot to talk about." I then turned to face G-Dragon.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM16NZSgquk
"Sam's right, Zoey," said G-Dragon.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrMNrt1fro
Zoey looked a little downcast as though she knew to expect the worst.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3aUJP71Tv
"Well, you guys can talk if you want," said Seungri, "but I'm hungry."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mJsqJNTik
"Ya, me too," said Daniel.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTnNkxrOdH
"We can order a pizza," said Christine.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7HXc3exnF
"Good idea," said Taeyang.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CCPxq08Wk
As though they couldn't 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj92EbvmENL
stay in the room any longer, the others walked out, leaving Zoey, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zUTuStFbQ
G-Dragon and I in the room. I couldn't blame them. There was too much 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkELKbi6AnC
tension going on and I couldn't help to think it was entirely my fault.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXSX0wtQCU
A few seconds later, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PqAvX7goT
when I knew that the others had gone, I also left the room with my purse965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O8ixpF83u
and crown without saying a word. Zoey and G-Dragon had a lot of talking965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogK5iXWznW
to do and I would come back for that later. And while the others had 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgeDeTTW5w
plans for lunch, I had other plans of my own.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmyhNtXrvb
As I walked down the empty hall, I called Lee and she picked up immediately.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1P2Pk1RT1
"Hey, Sam, why are you calling?" Lee asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOQrxj5Brb
"A lot has happened 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4j97mHakP
today that I need to tell you, Lee," I said, keeping my voice down in 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PHTR6rsTg
case there were any people snooping around.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x5YEzpboi
"What? What's happened?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODeUPA55MG
"Everyone now knows the truth about G-Dragon and I. They heard us arguing."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqa2Tdg3Qr
I could hear Lee gasp and I pictured her ready to drop and faint. "For real? Oh, gosh, this is bad."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd8yI3TE7h
"That's not the worst 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ9g01xNXr
part," I said as I found myself at the end of the hall going down a 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zu7xp2sVX
flight of stairs. "A weird guy called me today and I need to meet him."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfGkE4woXA
"Huh? What for? Who is this guy?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66vzsqsjCq
"Like I said, he is 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpg2pDY7KU
weird. Something bad came up and if I don't meet him soon, a lot of us 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryzdAuWBLV
are going to be toast especially with the press."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ciHUeZMB
"Is he blackmailing you or something?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y8NYrtyEG
"I'm not sure if I can 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVz2YW52Xj
call it that. But if I'm affected too, then it kind of looks that way. 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj1F1pmLdx
Do me a favour and meet me at the back of the building."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkfeDPcDBD
Lee paused. "Why? You aren't going to meet him, are you?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8q0Ve5l7t
"I've no choice and I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPqIE4W8Xw
would better do it now because we are going to be here for a while until965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC7yzLiBOB
we are done with the dance routine. Bring me a pair of sunglasses, a 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyWFskBpJ6
cap and a scarf."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec7uTK6Gsv
"What will you need that for?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2yXy2ad6R
"Trust me," I said as stopped on the stairs. I wasn't too sure which floor I was on at the moment.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCoxw4MJrm
"Okay, fine. I'll see where I can get those."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71skuiwrGP
"Thanks, Lee. Don't tell anyone."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFsrv64Ncf
I cut the call and this 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD17fiNSf9
time, I ran down the stairs with a new found energy. I was tired from 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaumo6g185
all the dancing but I had some reasonable ounce of energy left in me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRq8GZ6JQA
I reached the bottom of 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70quvuqQIO
the steps. I had reached the ground floor. There was a passage behind 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENzW38m7Pf
the stairs which lead to a door. The back door, I presume. And in front 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRVrk20mCr
of me was a short passage which lead to the lobby. I could hear a few 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeixoYTF3W
voices that I could recognise.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHAvto1rgb
I went over to look, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6et1lh6uu
making sure I had my back against the wall. I took a peek and I saw The 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOEb2AoWjc
Toxins and BigBang in the lobby heading out. They were going out for 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFKBTnC3BM
lunch instead of ordering it from here. Before I could turn around and 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI6maDpL1A
head for the back door, I ended up hearing their conversation.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XGN5SFrne
"I wish Sam could have told me what was going on," said Christine.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG85d6EHsEc
"How could we have known?" Daesung asked. "Sam and I just talked about it yesterday, but she never mentioned G-Dragon."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq04DQbj97B
"I'm just surprised that965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd6xHUuGfL
you kissed my sister," said Mike. For some reason, I was surprised that965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8UVhATd22
he wasn't upset like I thought he would.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZR7itNdPx
"Well, whatever she did that for," said Taeyang, "she will tell us eventually."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHKdD7u3PF
"Should we go back for her and see if she would come with us for lunch?" TOP asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjZ0kGCB5k
"No, I bet she wants to be alone for a while," said Seungri.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXAftred93
"I think so too," said 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mVRE3hPo9
Daniel. "But just in case, we would order her and the others a takeout. 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3WpCx6d5M
Sometimes Sam would starve herself without even realising it."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H4KCmX8Y0
The next thing I knew, their voices became distant. I peeked again and I saw that they had already walked out of the lobby.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXbnvPKZIt
I was expecting them to 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3mzz3klQl
be mad and all, but they didn't seem like they were. Maybe they were 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Er7c7J65b
just hiding it and they would throw all of their anger on me later on. 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKyOwSHuWG
Who knows?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO5P2KBlPb
Throwing that thought 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWwEcAn2fw
out of my head, I quickly went back down the hall, heading for the back 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfMWY2HicI
door. I hope it wasn't locked. I swung the door and it opened. Lucky me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cJecDWRBZ
Now I had to wait for Lee to show up.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIPTcXzXOE
There were still more 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9kiT4TDTp
vehicles parked at the back of the building. Some of which were delivery965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdV8jNe5F3
trucks. I waited for Lee on the slab with my back leaning against the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtFLhx8ci6
wall. I could hear the sound of the vehicle's engine coming from the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aW9MPX0ar
front and I knew the others were leaving until I heard the noise fade 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iTTkikvrM
away.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmaWgWLwTY
In what seemed like 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCCdrROTBg
forever, Lee appeared around the corner of the building with her 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA0398jHC0
handbag. When she spotted me, she quickened her steps.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIW5klxLcZ
"It's about time," I said with my arms folded.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCfa1BmuY0
"Don't act all grumpy on me," said Lee. "So as to let you know, finding what you wanted wasn't all that easy."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVBdfjuQFI
"Okay, thanks," I said as Lee gave me her bag and I gave her my crown and purse to hold. "Hold this."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gPRSMXpIu
"Oh, wow!" Lee marvelled as she looked at my crown. "Who gave this to you?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX5Jpg6kRd
"Seungri," I answered as I rummaged through the bag to get the items out.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QDCbGL0FI
"This is so pretty. These diamonds look so real."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP2jxL3cXn
"They are," I said as I put the blue baseball cap on.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UI83F3e7F
"So sweet of him to do this," said Lee. She looked at me. "Are they all still inside?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRQdUGQEnS
"They have gone out for 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlTDjMf7gE
lunch. But Zoey and G-Dragon are talking in the studio. Hopefully things965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6i4cVABda
will work out okay. Though I highly doubt it will."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6oCTmNAs6
"Things are really bad, huh?" Lee asked with a sad expression on her face.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSpWgpSPJs
"Ya. And they are about 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t8YIdBmHZ
to get a whole lot worse. Wish me luck." I put on the sunglasses and the965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjDotxNKe7
light scarf around my neck. Lee gave me back my purse.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC57p6nTA6v
"Okay. Tell me how everything goes," said Lee. "Want me to escort you out of the gate?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48ByAO4313
"Ya, that will be a good965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcNvgDIPHA
idea," I said. "Leaving me alone would be dangerous and who knows what 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtImry0Sbym
the guards might think when they see me."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNULuYBC1G
Lee and I started to 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiDQmMS07W
walk and we turned around the corner finding ourselves back at the front965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04BSS6nYr4
parking lot. As we were heading towards the gate, Lee started some 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFfsLJPcS6
random conversation and I played along making sure not to look 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieJ3SYILkJ
suspicious in front of the guards who didn't seem to be paying much 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFl9q8tJyn
attention. I made sure that they didn't notice my face.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKliHczT0I4
When I finally managed 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYo5royYOR
to get out of the gate, Lee wished me luck. I nodded my head and walked 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gTw3NHN5X
away from the YG gate and down the street.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFtQTEOriG
I had to admit, I was so965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qZlmmNBnq
scared. For one reason, I had no idea where I was going since I hadn't 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYsOuMnVO3
fully known the place and this was the first time I had to walk around 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p8xvf9lMD
in the streets by myself. Going around alone was too dangerous for me 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmFg2g5oI4
and I was crazy to think I would manage on my own.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaoeqkA3jK
After walking a few 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYBYGFE5Hy
blocks away from YG, I reached the crosswords and I stopped at the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvbR0e964t
traffic walking sign. I looked around and so far, no one had recognised 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4lsF6xWX6
me under my little disguise. When the robot indicated 'walk' I crossed 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEm5D9hfMd
the road with a few people and got to the other side of the street.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2GO0nwIaX
As I walked, passing a shoe shop, I took my phone out from my purse and called the unknown man.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK535C78OGp
"Ah, you finally called," said the stranger who had answered after the first ring. "I've been waiting."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblXZseL5iQ
"Ya, I figured," I said, looking around hoping that no one noticed me but the cap hid my face965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfdxWsHUxD
pretty well. "I've no idea where to meet you and I'm not so familiar with the place."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqGkM5QYmq
"Not to worry, dear. I already see you. Nice disguise by the way. I can hardly tell it is you under that baseball cap."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeOqNE7aNC
I froze as I soon looked965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa78jhg14Sv
left and right and across the street hoping to see him. But I couldn't 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVPY5cExpP
spot out any French native among the midst of Koreans. Feeling a little 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tIqGCkdrX
out of place, I figured I might just be the odd one around here too.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQUqOmjwLP
I heard him laugh 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYWGuIRqmp
through the phone and I could tell he was making fun of me. "Not to 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlSXfmibAs
worry, Sam. Be careful or you might just blow your cover."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMNpqUKfUr
I gritted my teeth. "Just show yourself. Where are you?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAOgYzxPGE
"I'm right here."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZG4EOAjb8
"Right where?" I looked around and still nothing. People walked past me and I got frustrated. "Don't try play games with-"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8tEWFjrqD
My sentence was cut 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYldckXqy1
short when down the road, a fancy black shiny Bugatti parked at the edge965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTIR3sTiQR
of the concrete slab right in front of me. I looked on with my mouth 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjXMuYJyoH
agape. I have always admired fancy cars but this was one hell of a ride.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuqvfnz47i
A smartly dressed 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByxS1euGaq
looking chauffeur came out of the driver's seat and came to my side. 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfYUgSjbtc
With his white gloved hand, he opened the door to the passenger's seat.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0uOueT0VX
"You may go in, mademoiselle," said the driver in deep French accent, as he bowed.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fVKm2wCmJ
At first I was dumbfounded and I didn't know whether to run and head back to YG, or just go in and get this over with.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSro145HfG
A few heads turned my 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSbAMbqqY7
way and I could only imagine what people must think of a Bugatti and a 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH3W8Aj16r
smartly dressed chauffeur waiting for me to go in. Strange, I suppose 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hJKNJUdEZ
and a little suspicious too.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ0DKHcVXb
I managed to awake from 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtopynGQGn
my slumber and got in the car before people fully start to look at me 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznTdlRoMcA
and figure out who I was. As I got in, a nice car smell wafted in the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlOvbStgyC
air and into my nostrils. The chauffeur closed the door and went to the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxczC0ydYui
driver's seat.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnjmPb0cUn
"Samantha Glasson, nice to finally meet you at last," came a deep voice.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFToVimeREQ
With my eyes, I looked 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgcsVohJOZ
at the person sitting right beside me in the passenger's seat. For a 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ygf98qHyP
moment, I was scared. But when I looked at the man fully, my face fell.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmptgHvUMd
He looked to be in the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAKJ5Ff4yw
same age group as me but maybe two years older. I guessed in my head 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEadlNOiexh
that he must be 24 or 25. He had gorgeous blue eyes like the colour of 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqBPWTzUaT
the sea and brown short curly hair. His dashing lips were lifted up into965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwwQJO8H3q
a smile and under that navy blue suit of his, I could tell he was one 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nde2YkVKQ
who had one heck of a body.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6uVnWoR9Z
I hadn't said a word and965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3OfKuEqcT
the car started to drive down the road when the young man offered his 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUu3q1EpKb
open hand. I stared at it and noticed a shiny gold Rolex on his left 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GAu390TQf
wrist. Who was this guy?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr0FNmfA0x
"Aren't we going to shake hands?" he asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uHF9io4Ng
I opened my mouth but 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDzh6MzItw
then closed it again knowing that it was pointless to argue. I took his 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIOPKByGnf
hand and shook it, scared that I might receive a shocking zap from the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVyK57ZzHj
contact.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNop3XXTEN
"And you must be the guy I was talking to over the phone?" I asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsxwBfEAQj
"Yes, a pleasure to meet965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ivKWawQmB
your acquaintance." He lightly pressed his lips on the back of my palm 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPpblE9DOf
and I blushed as I slowly withdrew my hand.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmny3C0Dlfg
"I'm sorry we had to 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRwN6wKz01
meet under such awkward circumstances," he said as he leaned back in the965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY4bb0MLQy
fancy leathered seats. "But I needed to talk to you, and fast."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLDZ1tUorm
I looked at him and 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1RTtb1jxd
realised that all his was just too surreal. This wasn't what I was 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVYPYNaPK7
expecting. I was expecting a man much older than me and rafia looking. 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRZxNy7gqm
This guy right beside me looked like one of those handsome Greek gods we965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1TvhQVA5a
hear about in mythical tales.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMparMYpIPm
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked with the corner of his lips raised up to a smile.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGriIoaJMjx
"I...uh." Yikes! I was 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMwXlLc1vG
caught looking at him. I blushed and turned to face the window beside 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbXdlMHISh
me. "Nothing. This wasn't what I was expecting."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw8hy51DwR
There was silence and I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqjjDN4Dif
didn't want to look at him. He was obviously looking at me and that made965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XWXuEnUZC
me play around with my fingers because I was nervous. Then I realised 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFkfkLA611
something.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwH5HGjbsN
"You never told me your name," I said as I looked at him. Dang it! I wasn't supposed to look at him.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwDhRdOnHx
"Oh, silly me. Where are my manners? I'm Derrick."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cAiF4r4Vv
"That's a weird name, given that you're French."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkcq7gqHVP
"I was born in the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh5wrFy5vN
States and my parents preferred giving me this name even though they are965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH72jbTsZU
both French. I grew up in France almost my whole life and my parents 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HVJA3QqCS
are people who like to travel a lot for business. Building their 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtEcXlcNDB
business empire is what's so important to them."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoz8N4iJdK
"I can clearly see that," I said as I wondrously looked around in the car.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iSyakbWFF
My expression might have amused him because he chuckled. I blushed as I pushed my glasses further up my nose and folded my arms.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3hCyRa8XC
"This is going to be fun," he said to himself.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k03GqF1kh
I changed the topic. "About the photo, why did you want to see me?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXWvgIvLg0
"Can we talk about this over lunch?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCqMQVZ0gs
"Lunch?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTyrfU0iqm
"Yes, lunch."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdJHYiSV6I
A moment ago, I wasn't in the mood for lunch. But now that he mentioned it, I was starving.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06LeQQup4T
"Lunch sounds good. But not in the open. I don't want to grab any attention."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHLN37ziWV
"Of course. I figured you would want that. Given that no one knows where you are anyway."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegNZoPSUPk
I raised an eyebrow at 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEMR1zYZWA
him. "You've been following me the whole time, haven't you? That's how 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6WJ7u5ObS
you have been able to find me on the street."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSE346Q6lf
He gave me that dashing 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRmeqv8Uz4
smile of his. "Of course. I just had to. I knew sooner or later that we 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gxc5v9qJu
would meet. I had to come prepared."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv2Y9lPJ87
"That's sounds creepy if you ask me," I said as looked out the window. "So, where are we going?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITgm41cfNp
"My apartment. It's much safer there."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bkp0cfo5B
"You own an apartment?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3pknVs28B
"Like I said, my parents travel around for world and South Korea, is one of their favourite spots."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcAtTAOZ6i
"So, it's their apartment then and not yours."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAqaYPzj0R
"They have their own apartment and I have mine."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FCpOuuZOp
"Oh." I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm6FjJFnKI
"Here we are now," said Derrick as he looked out of the car window on his side and followed suit.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfppl8dLzFJ
It was a huge apartment 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT61RnqHC5
building kind of like the ones famous people live in. The car took a 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsa9A7ZKZK
turn and went down the road to an underground parking lot.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJHVvK4jFC
After the car parked, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgAfLFZeAs
the chauffeur quickly came out and opened the car door on Derrick's 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIBAgwV94h
side. Derrick came out and I followed. Before I could step out of the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTOGvyfTDF
car, Derrick held out his hand to help me out. I took his hand and I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVrLUJVaQl
came out of the car.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1krxnaqCbc
Derrick lead the way, 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBUrTOhCxn
still holding my hand, to the elevator and the chauffeur stayed behind 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pByGOT6Lo
with the car as he watched us go. I couldn't help but feel that the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKQj316ZVB
chauffeur had been smiling at us from the time we got out of the car.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTio6b4ypNd
Derrick pressed the elevator button and when they drew open, we stepped in at the same time.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBvBY83yKP
When the door closed, I withdrew my hand from his. He pressed the button to his floor and I felt the elevator move.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEM89vaI0M
"So, about that photo, I need to know what's going on," I said as stared at the floor.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHWxCOZTav
"What do you want to know?" Derrick asked. I could feel his eyes on me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lRxS0jozq
"Everything," I said as I looked at him. "But one thing I don't get is why you're involving me in all this."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpamFdsHQU0
"But don't you want to know what's going on?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF0ZLuc8hU
"Well, ya, I do! You're 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHktFx1OC57
the one who sent me the photo so I'm curious. Do you know what? It was 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM5frdYPFx
best you didn't send it to me in the first place."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBro2zpWoNt
"Why?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIwN5rOUGS
"Maybe then I wouldn't be here."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zDx1wvIwW
The elevator doors flew 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamf96oMBLl
open and in front of me was a lavishly looking hall. The white painted 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLNZs4jJfM
hall and the bright lighting above made the hall look angelic that if 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcahecbDBwz
you were to see it for yourself, you would think you had just stepped 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrplXlhhQc
into heaven.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfaoCF4laV
I stepped out of the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3gh3ycGof
elevator and beautiful paintings lined up the walls. I noticed that the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6B37WUVce
doors leading to other people's apartments were white doors with fancy 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq25O55joxL
looking gold plated handles. The floor of the hall was covered with a 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY0OKblOUy
soft red carpet.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrZNnJh30G
"This place looks nice," I said as I walked down the hall.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0wzbbky1h
"I know," said Derrick as he came up behind me. "My apartment is the door at the end of the hall."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQydH7jJNNf
I looked down the hall 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqUtc31zfu
and there stood two huge white doors. I walked up to it and just as I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv0QqmGZ0H
was about to turn and look at Derrick, the right door flew open and in 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJGlUO5tgG
front of me stood a smartly dressed butler. It's like he knew I was 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdSmvUIXst
coming.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPshBEMYOe
"Welcome, mademoiselle," said the butler as he stepped aside and and with his hand, he gestured to come in.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ezz17aVGM
For a moment, I hesitated. Until I felt Derrick behind me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15We2TsW8F
"Ladies first," said Derrick.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aGYEQ0K0O
I gulped and took a step into his apartment.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAyEAUr0jd
"This place is very 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfqqvGPPTE
nice," I said when I looked around the foyer and I when turned round the965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR9guuzeTO
corner, there was lavishly looking sitting room with creamed coloured 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGx2HI0wWZ
sofas with a glass coffee table and I huge smart screen TV pinned on the965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70xoge3pqp
wall.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2S2Rrk9zo
I looked to the other 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ezKLnMcci
side and there was a fancy looking table with a beautuful chandelier 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqlRStZ2qH
above it. Beautiful artistic pictures filled the place and there were 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RCEOmvjDL
beautiful flower vases with orchids.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4baJfak9Dm
"I see you like 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OaUsKqnc7
orchids," I said as I went over to the flower vase close to the sitting 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsQEXcSzJ4
area and looked at the orchids. They were fresh and lovely.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrUkGvmsCT
"I know you like roses," said Derrick as he stared at me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl280kx9WSl
"Almost everything that celebrities like and don't like are always found on the internet." I rolled my eyes at him.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8sYOT8rd5
"True, but I can tell what a woman likes and doesn't."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonHFUn3aMV
I gave him a smile that showed how impressed I was.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto9as7JA4Z
"Lunch is ready, sir," said the butler. "Should I serve the food?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJenOUC9gD
"Yes, please," sad Derrick.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtYmoo0SxL
The butler bowed and 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp7b3zz0fk
left for the kitchen. I continued to look around and I went over by the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5qFRSDWP4
windows to look down at the city below. We were so high above the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevlEKtJJN2
ground.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SaH0HfKer
"Is it just me or are we on the last floor of this building?" I asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4kqXjXeOh
"We are," said Derrick who came to join me by the window. "This place is lovely, isn't it?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjawxAsUNk
"Ya, it surly is." I knew he meant Seoul.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DS8NQVGNY
"Food is ready, Master Derrick," came the butler behind us.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoEcFlLQUf
"Shall we?" Derrick gestured his hand towards the dining table and I walked up to it with him following behind me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe19Q0BmM9j
As we got to the dining 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVpX1a4pk4
table, Derrick pushed back a chair for me and I took my seat, removing 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63t4WS1mmy
my glasses and cap putting the glasses in my purse. I said thank you and965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxnqpJEzBo
he sat at the head of the table right next to mine.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHczuQr16RU
The butler had served 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnAwuIahhr
our plates on the table and just by looking at the cutlery and napkins 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83x6GBT99w
laid and folded neatly I couldn't help but feel I was in some kind of 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7uKOtSTI0
fancy fairytale. The table was set to perfection and the wine glasses 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zx1i0zxZI
next to the plates were spotless.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMlP8yDOcQ
Dishes of food were 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbGVdVVCQf
lined in the middle of the table and my mouth couldn't help but water. 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkgIqijLt3
If I wasn't in such an elegant apartment, I would have just dug in and 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrpaB8WunP
started to eat. I was really hungry. But for now, I had to act like a 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbn3C3PShc
lady.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlXQYsfalt
The butler helped to 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwjSP9BNdt
serve the food and I didn't hesitate eating right there and then. I made965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTEdAZgOqq
sure not to eat too much and take my time.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx1NEZY4A9
"This was really good," I said, after I was done with my food.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkjiJzKqwK
"France's finest traditional dishes," said Derrick with a smile.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpHgMGlIqV
"Now, about the issue at965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6yWHJMCkf
hand," I said, wiping the corner of my mouth with a napkin as the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWVomGWBUl
butler came to take away my plate and also Derrick's.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvfNf2bKpm
"Let's talk then," said Derrick.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTX22siPte
"First of all, I need to know why you sent it to me."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx4VzSJl44
"Because as much as you don't want to get involved, it concerns you more than you can ever imagine."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vR8a6t9zO
I shook my head as I got my purse and removed my phone. I went to the gallery and checked out the photo.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxOs69HICg
"How does this have to do with me?" I asked as I showed him the photo.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78IUo2HMhu
The photo showed Zoey in965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp1S6rIX9E
a some place that looked like a garden or a park and in front of her 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJH96WkiE4
stood a man I couldn't recognise. His face was hidden because his back 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmDMOo2sTC
faced the camera and whoever had taken the photo, took it behind some 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz8zukR9eV
bushes so it was hard to make out who he was. But there was something 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVwbrIlxCU
completely odd about what I saw in the photo.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCMt3yA9DA
"I know this isn't 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM1nSFRJi1
really supposed to concern me," I said as Derrick looked at the photo 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1PmC3J2fs
and then back at me. "Who was Zoey with?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KbYUeSHeg
"That's my brother," Derrick answered.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGoVowsn43
Now that was a surprise. Derrick had a brother?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVnKA5V21Q
"Wait? Brother?" I raised an eyebrow.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKC8SHt0Ie
"Sadly, yes," said Derrick clearing his throat.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qkD8m0rtI
I looked at the photo 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggpAGdFnVG
again. "So, you're saying that, this happened the time Zoey went to 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyriQzIzpN
Paris with G-Dragon and the others? And this person in the photo is your965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlNGEHeZsa
brother?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUtrYiOf57
I still couldn't believe it when Derrick nodded his head at me.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92yeyrU404
"You never told me you had a brother," I said, looking at Derrick.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxInYvqU55p
"We don't really get along," said Derrick.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQkpTNcqo9
"That figures," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Why?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4kBKPyhMq
"We have been different from each other since we were kids. You can't even tell that he and I are brothers."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtdVTZKVrf
"So, what's do you think he wants with Zoey?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzZOdGqah8
"I have no idea but I know it's something serious."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXArVyZJTB
"So, you're just assuming all this or what?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkB8aQ47QY
"I know my brother very 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tl27MRyXU
well. I know something is going on between the two of them. I had my 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv9qFiphVh
suspicions during the Chanel fashion show."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpcZmNwDtQ
I then remembered the 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fK4j0trnM
time Zoey came back to Korea the following day after the fashion show. 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eLNeEmBlu
She was acting all weird and the way she had hugged me surprised me a 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sAQVPTQwy
little. And so did the others. Were these guys really in trouble?965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2Khv984Pa
"Are my brothers and Christine involved in this too?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UBnlhIRqk
"I can't be too sure. You have to ask them."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8ckPIQI5M
"But that's strange. If 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFKcYtK1jd
it's something so serious as you put it, they would have told me. I 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm3JQIblxb
don't see the reason why they would hide."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7opTjuH09
"If it's anything concerning my brother, I suggest you find out what's going on and fast. I don't like it."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrzmCnzNZF
"But what if all this isn't that serious? In fact, what makes you think your brother is that dangerous enough to hurt us?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbfz4FNj89
Derrick leaned back on his chair as he looked at me and I waited for him to answer.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BS8wyEjfb
"My brother isn't one person to mess around with. He is one person who threatens when things don't go his way."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifyQNnEXKZ
"You think he is threatening Zoey?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3iWOqxfVo
"He did visit Zoey in that café, didn't he?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEBoYNer5F
"Wait! That was him?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5A3UBMUBp
"Yes. I was there."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIC7d1UWGS
"You were there too?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGUibf3PJZ
"Yes. That's when I thought you should help me out with this."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoF7vhJJCi
"But what if I can't?" I folded my arms965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIcm2BzyfT
"Zoey is your best friend, isn't she?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UwkMRbuUz
"She is."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRoRJPTDKO
"And wouldn't you like to help her out?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJAWeFOvVX
I was frustrated with the questions. "I would. But if she didn't tell me, then maybe it's not that serious."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvWMI0H9bt
"And do you really think she would?"965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzry0EoEgtE
I thought about his 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA633kHr7hl
question for a moment. He was right. Some people wouldn't tell the truth965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhMemO1LRs
just to prevent the ones they love from getting hurt. Maybe that's what965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9v9faFGJE
Zoey did and I was too silly not to have realised it sooner.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEYKlfbXDk
"You're right," I said as I looked at my hands on my lap. She wasn't the only one who kept secrets.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9mGVEiAw7
"Have you tried talking to your brother about this?" I asked.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWQI3CzjTQ
"No. He doesn't know that I'm onto him. And knowing how he is, he isn't going to tell me anything."965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1SyG7nfJs
I tapped my fingers on the table and I took the glass of water that was next to me and I drank.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0E3NpwjDe
I had to think of something fast and I was running out of time. I had to get back to the studio within thirty minutes.965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGfkMy1twW
"Before I go, tell me 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbjBL7D8xn
all you know about what happened in Paris," I said as I looked at 965Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNwFPsZIci
Derrick, giving him the eye. "And don't leave anything out."
