Have you ever been awake987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj98VaQVi8N
for so long in your bed with no thought or sign of sleep and your heart987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwH6pD6aW8
isn't at peace because you're afraid of what's going to happen as the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡputK7cs4Jp
day goes on?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiSnPc0MUL
That's how I felt right at this moment.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabfSFhKCZv
I tossed in my bed, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrWT1CcSjI
turning to the side and looking towards the curtain. There was still no 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhmWpVu7K6
sign of the sun coming up and I was getting frustrated. I wished the sun987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6NE6vNP2I
could come up so that I could meet my end already.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg74NyrQXO3
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.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkjPoeAKql
I fell back on my bed, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKbMUwPLGI
the back of my head hitting the pillows real hard. I clenched my teeth 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkYxJlqUn6
in irritation. Sunrise felt like forever and I was already tired of 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTgKg0nWJf
sleeping. This had been the third time that I had to wake up and only 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquEGWDyTc6
realise that I had only slept for a few minutes. I wish I could sleep 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNxnPRj9UV
till sunrise, but waking up three times meant I was too bothered in my 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Hf9raR72
mind even to dream.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNtUxFexw7
I turned to my other side where my stuffed panda lay beside me and I cuddled it in my arms.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47pMfdLlo9
How I wish I could fall 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78u7tLofHt
asleep. I admired Zoey whom I could hear snoring slightly in her sleep. I987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNGMHNBZIO
stared up at the dark ceiling trying to picture things in my mind but I987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3YRVFIBNy
couldn't. Even my imagination wasn't working.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQakhdk5tp
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.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhed4VLqJk
I knew I now had to face987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBybBLtSjwt
the music. And even though we had quite a hectic day yesterday, Zoey 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxr8aRx4Eq
hadn't given up on me about what happened with G-Dragon and me. And even987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0zC1JI3Mg
though she was tired when we got back, she still hadn't stopped 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdARDDKvQwO
bothering me until she finally gave up and went straight to bed.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGizITK41o
I knew her persistence 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchCldTLY7k
was far from over and I had to prepare myself for more of it today. I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQzqjVaocT
know Zoey must be very worried about me, but I was more worried about 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDTVCHWiYz
her if I had to tell her the truth.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTozj4DH2TZ
I know sometimes we 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oQUMK7lHa
people lie to prevent the others we love and care about from getting 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C1gxxZdYm
hurt. But there will come a point in time when you can't keep it to 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXmEx704lb
yourself any longer because the guilt will eat you up inside. Sadly, I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8teUJneSvH
had now reached that point.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuJhbiyRAo
I sighed again as I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUN9vc6am1
turned again to the other side, taking the panda in my arms with me. 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRvOYkFH7f
What wrong did I ever do to be in the position I was in right now?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJqRr3Zt0I
If it came to G-Dragon, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxsK7doBuO
he was going to be one person who will be difficult to talk to. I know I987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm9UrIIPuM
betrayed his trust, and trying to convince him was going to be a whole 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoZ06XCrFs
lot harder.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLw0l0xlmL
How was I going to tell 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobR4o4PVtU
him that yes, Daesung and I did kiss, but all of that happened due to a 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ11FBEdpWO
completely different story? I know how bad he must be feeling and if I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYmzQvRZDh
was in his shoes, I probably wouldn't believe anything I would say 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVqDtYQrcT
either.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0ZG9nuUAk
I kicked out the bed 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrHO232q0E
covers and got up from the bed. And taking Mr Panda with me and my 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwYpVQo927
phone, I slipped my feet into my bed slippers and walked out of the room987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNllZ9TQj5r
in my purple pyjamas.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7nhUy2gxk
I went straight for the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzPybdWEss
dark, empty lounge and I turned on the lights. I went to sit on the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXXJYKhSFN
comfortable couch and with my feet up and folded with Mr Panda in my 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksEnD7HB3q
arms, I unlocked my phone and went straight to my contacts and called my987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyuN40TPhH
mum.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeSyEbu76S
Hopefully, I was calling987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThnTd5lPp9
her at the right time. I wasn't really sure what time it would be back 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO2WB7K6eX
home in the U.S. I was too bothered to even try and figure out all this 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ntq81EMop
time zones nonsense. I just had to talk to someone. And why not my mum?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepecIgHktp
I put the phone to my ear hoping she would pick up. I just hope she wasn't busy at work or something.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku2zKnXvIj
She finally picked up the phone on the fourth ring.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKTKhb83f1
"Hello, Sam?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoW8UbUPPU
"Hi, mum."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnuJ4V1ynm
"Sam, how are you, dear?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IqkP3OlNx
"I'm good. How are you? Are you at work?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYb2c81SP3
"Yes, I am, sweetie. I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAbBpgeA5b
am just looking at photos online on the computer. A friend of mine just 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzsDIAbMbn
told me you guys went out bowling with BigBang."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGjF41ATgI
"Ah.." I scratched my head. "We did, mum. And we had fun."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqQoC9ECwy
"Ya, I can see you guys 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RXpNeQE2q
smiling and laughing on the photos." I could hear clicking in the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBqDkXv6RY
background and that confirmed that she was tapping away on the mouse of 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXEmTZEmwf
her computer as she looked at the pictures.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIY9seLgjh
"So, was it more like a competition?" she asked. "It's says here that you guys won."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7U100ru07
"It was mum. We won," I said with a smile. "You should have seen what happened. It was awesome."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1LvBIUbLL
"I'll check out the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyu9OR4NjY
videos later on and see everything for myself, dear," I could hear my 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCRZyDZizx
mum clicking quickly on the mouse. "Now tell me. What's bothering you? 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBH8ei3Mcp
Why aren't you asleep?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8xhCzbV1S
I raised an eyebrow. "You know what time it is here?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwN2iMoGz4
"I'm your mother, Sam. Of course I know what time it is."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp34usgNa5X
I could imagine my mum 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3OrYpFnL2
with a stern look on her face as she said that. If we weren't talking on987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtJpkOLBGL
the phone and I was standing in front of her, she probably would have 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W8IbScSMe
her arms folded.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkg6r8S9MF
"I know its way too early in the morning for you to be awake right now," she continued. "What's up?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NPa19n5Jy
"I feel my whole life has been nothing but a lie, mum," I said as I tugged at Mr Panda's ears.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0GWJsZsep
"Your name is Samantha Glasson and you're a famous pop star. That my child, is not a lie."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5J9grupO0
"Mum, you know what I mean when I say that."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjK5XXUcdq
She sighed. "What did you lie about this time?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbcj1ANSo5
"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."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ0eDD1VH9
"Tell me. I've all the time to listen."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLmxaR863R
"I've been lying to Zoey987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WLzRWg4zt
and everyone else about G-Dragon and I, and I don't now how to tell 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVaiQOWNZK
them, especially Zoey since she likes G-Dragon so much. It would crush 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZDM8ZiThj
her if she finds out G-Dragon likes me and not her."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmYeYPQE8I
"I thought you girls weren't supposed to date any one of those guys."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9xSj8hRQh
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Wow. Collins really does tell you everything, does he?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxSVu9Byf1
"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."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5UBERv2Pr
"Trust me, mum, Collins 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgJhyyBZlA
has no clue with what's going on in our private circle and I suggest 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf12PIyVQC
that you shouldn't say a word either."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmq3v0t4wT
"Is that a threat?" I imagined my mum's eyebrow raised.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm2jL3Gg68
"You know I can never 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv42fYAeQ6k
threaten you, mum. It's just for now until we come back home. It's a 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtchgWxDQP4
matter of life and death. I've no choice."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM6tfNsCAh
"I know. But why does Zoey like him?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbzDnprMX9
"Knowing Zoey, you must know by now the kind of guy she would fall for, mum."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTrPtlv735
"True. But how come she likes him but he likes you? Don't tell me you also like him too."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9Am9FU2Ki
"Well....." I hesitated, trying to figure out what to say next.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0SVxEgjvD
"Samantha Glasson," my mum's voice sounded stern now. "Tell me the truth."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcMHAEN6Z2
I sighed. "I also like him, mum."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIIQ83wErP
There was silence at the other end. Until....987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJh4IKCEEJ
"WHAT!"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYj6TLZEkC
"Mum, calm down. It's not what you think."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXZdNROe8B
"Then what is it? The 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2J9IRvCA4
way I'm seeing it, you also like him and you feel guilty because you 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7iAsaDpqk
feel like you're betraying your best friend."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnmG7IpgmP
"It was like that at 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA4PYBFu3k
first. I really do like G-Dragon but I'm learning to like him as a close987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXULRByaLy
friend because I know how Zoey likes him and because of Collins' 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg0paBX4Hc
'golden rule'." I put "golden rule" in quotation marks with my remaining987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkhIV7STbZ
fingers.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNfaQyiPfZ
"What do you mean it was like that at first?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dP6l9nwU7
"I like G-Dragon, but he isn't the only one."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4HXOgFYEG
"Don't tell me you like someone else from the same group too."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZKL4QCrfo
I closed my eyes as I winced. "Yes, mum."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Eh7O6HdKI
She didn't say a word. I wondered what she was thinking right now.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSNSjRY7HR
"You're really in one hell of a mess, dear."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7AG19bnUn
"And that's not the worst part."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkrtlQd5Or
I told her what happened987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdTQ9cBwyx
the day Zoey went missing, making sure I didn't mention the stranger in987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXouMKygMzw
the suit. I talked about what G-Dragon and I had talked about in the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6iTZrPpEs
park and what we agreed upon. Then I told her what happened with Daesung987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgTaDuMsnq
and the kiss.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfm8p8pW1M
"You kissed?" my mum sounded surprised.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWVMKo5Xgy
"Ssh, and listen."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN9mUw05sY
I told her that G-Dragon and Zoey saw us but they didn't witness the kiss. And I told her what happened afterwards.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNLxR7r2Fc
"You're in a real mess, Sam. You now have two people to tell the truth to."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir15LOq8jW
"If it's not Zoey and G-Dragon, then it's the entire group."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmqrkxRkcF
"I know. But you can't lie forever now, can you?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2AEzyZjNN
I thought of what she said. "You're right. We all deserve to know the truth someday."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJyuBetoQN
"Are you scared?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYmwLM6pBd
"I am. Maybe that's why I can't fall asleep." I hugged Mr Panda close to me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMZWrmDm6Z
"It's okay to be scared, sweetie. And it's good that you decided to come out clean."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUyXjHHBjU
"I don't want people getting hurt because of me." I could now feel tears coming up in my eyes.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7FAnEN3y2
"We all get hurt at some987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R6Vmo6ci3
point in our lives, sweetie. That's why there is a time for everything.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO1930kGxa
Just wait and see. After the storm, everything will be back to the way 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzHrfmo7yf
it was and everyone will forget about it. Besides, no one can stay mad 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxLl7WS8hZ
at you forever, Sam. Not even me."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uLKbCZI9U
I smiled as a tear ran down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ohUMdYBx4
"Thanks, mum." I sniffed.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCwhNc2rib
"Don't cry, okay? You're987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtL5IkVSS8
a brave girl. Now, do me a favour and get a few minutes of sleep. You 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQuSQcpJSt
will need all the rest you can get."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHtWp83ptI
"Yes, mum. I will."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg0H6PROJS
"Bye, Sam. Tell me what happens, okay?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1GQjlMtiC
"Okay. Bye."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPDV0GnYSw
I hang up and I quickly 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lPmwLsLeg
got up from the couch with Mr Panda and went back in the room, straight 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64BjBVR0tL
into the bed covers. I fell asleep in an instant with Mr Panda in my 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqBjBEPEIk
arms.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmHqyQiZ8O
It must have been some 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fjfbSPgj4
time around 7:40 when I finally woke up. The sun rays shone brightly 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77gWHfijFb
into the room that I had to shield my eyes with my hand from the light.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBglNx81HTh
"Wakey! Wakey!" Zoey came over and sat next to me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr3z8NFUgc
"Mmmm." I murmered as I turned around and covered my head with a blanket. "Leave me alone."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ks7CznS4t
"You've to get up, Sam. We have a big day ahead of us."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj52ie20Shl
"Isn't it a Sunday today?" I asked as I removed the blanket from my head.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u7eVdNK41
"Sadly, it isn't, my 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM9FqfofwS
dear kitty," said Zoey as she placed her hand on my head. "Looks like 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0aW1S5Cv1
you weren't the only one praying for it to be a Sunday."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjanWyQRGa
"Okay." I muttered as I sat up on my bed and rubbed away the sleep in my eyes.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZooegIjkL
"You know you have a lot of explaining to do, right?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiVuTS3uXX
I yawned, then sighed. "I know. You don't have to tell me."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0pOENdYfn
"So, start talking right now."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlUd5E1GRE
I looked at Zoey with wide eyes. "You want to talk now?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwubvobjFq
"Ya. I'm still really worried about you."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLuaJNA7cG
Looks like I had no choice. This was it. Time to tell the truth.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98qWuEi3Kr
"What I'm about to tell you, is going to crush you completely, Zoey."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvJEYOO0xA
Zoey turned to look at me with a serious look on her face. "What are you saying, Sam? Is it that serious?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT3nBuDvgh
"It really is, and I feel bad that I have to tell you."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aqaDBadGT
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.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QxAoF8Ql1
"Just tell me, Sam. Even if it's going to hurt."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHpJUuXzeH
I closed my eyes bracing myself for impact. My heart was pounding so hard.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6BcWNo2DT
"It's about G-Dragon and I," I said. "I'm sorry to say this but...."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRtzqwPx3C
"You like him, don't you?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zoqHBLwAn
I opened my eyes in shock. That wasn't supposed to happen. And what made Zoey say all that?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt5chWkYhQ
"I..uh...no, that's not it."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK8TekHZFE
Zoey laughed. "Don't worry, Sam. I know how much you also like him. I'm not mad."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuSx3adBWO
"Zoey, that wasn't what I...."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxTChsDKfr
"Expected from me?" Zoey987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh72Zhm2RvC
grinned as she flipped her hair to the side. "I know, you're surprised.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6di0Yw8AiW
I like him, you like him, the whole world likes him."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsU9YEQOwm
"Zoey, I..." Zoey placed her index finger on my lips to keep me from talking further.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJEslPh1F8
"I know you feel guilty 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwkN9ngTvL
that you like him because I do too. Don't worry about it, because I know987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBMAqZQqtx
that you wouldn't try to steal him away from me."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTRwqtzion
I gulped. What was I going to tell her now? How was I going to her that G-Dragon liked me and not her?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGdZtXKVFu
"Aren't you worried that G-Dragon might just like someone else and not you?" I asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhZ040vdm3
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."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH8UIsI088
I wanted to slap my 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvixMCykAZ
forehead in frustration but I gave Zoey a weird look instead. I couldn't987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFtrf4wwxt
blame her when you were blindly in love. But I had to stop this before 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2amDmxoxo
it gets out of hand.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwPZtPwpMm
"Zoey, listen to me," I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR2la6KA9J
said as I looked at her in the eye. "I admit that I like G-Dragon, but 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9ShMITnVG
not in the way you think. You on the other hand, need to know that...."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y7hYPRjL5
I paused. That was odd. 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYIoDnGFLw
The words were spilling out of my mouth just fine. What's happened now? I987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPAJiOVcqk
felt someone had just cast a spell on me and now I was tongue tied.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDdLqpUSAQ
Zoey looked at me, irritated that I had stopped talking. "What do I need to know?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ754KSqGGSA
What was wrong with me? I987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy9fKL6tq8
had so much confidence when I was talking just now and I still do. But 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHi1l9H95E
now, I couldn't say anything. I opened my mouth to speak, but still 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86kJWtMVLX
nothing came out. Zoey shook her head.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O9nqebgrS
"You're weird, Sam," 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0L25dGBG9
Zoey stood up from my bed and went straight for the bathroom. "When you 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW0ktnuI5Y
finally have the courage to tell me what you wanted to say, I'll be 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOwV2Mloxa
waiting."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6SJuu9Bed
Zoey closed the door and987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPX2JH9FZG
I heard the shower tap turn on. Oh no! I blew it this time and that 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLrroaQEx9
just proves that telling her the truth was going to be a whole lot 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDiHoUtXmJ
harder than I thought.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0cg1ubvXZ
At least Zoey knew that I once liked G-Dragon, that's if she really took what I said seriously.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViEbKq19FO
This was all so messed up and I felt like I was going nuts.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd3UNm9qgd
I stood up from my bed 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkk1Fa5Lk3
and started to pace up and down, thinking. What happened to me a few 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRkqwNyOc5
minutes ago? Why couldn't I tell Zoey the truth? Well, half of it, which987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGvrIHkKIe
is the most important part.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWJNveCXGl
"It's not your portion to say anything to Zoey. And you know it."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGWLV6yrvH
Whatever my conscious 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJIKvVx91y
was saying inside my head was true. G-Dragon did say that he will end 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡideBU1oAyF
things with Zoey and tell her the truth. Was that why I was tongue tied 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39nQV8wRS4
and I couldn't say anything? I had no any other reason as to why.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mhLQ6vUeH
If that was the case, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHHfljwflL
then G-Dragon better do it fast. The earlier it was, the better. Before 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWpclOhhwH
Zoey really gets too much involved with him or else she would be 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLj8DKKVEl
shattered completely.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4L8RcfNpK
While I was trying to 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM7svtEFbk
figure out what to do next, my phone rang and I went on the bed to reach987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIhrI8hOUe
out for my phone that laid on top of the drawer next to the lamp.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOFFFCTHfV
When I checked the caller ID, I raised an eyebrow. An unknown number. I wonder who it was?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hDMXQJt5r
I answered the call. "Hello?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0NWB2Aa0r
"Bonjour, mademoiselle," came a deep husky voice from the phone. The man had a French accent.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIlcHG23nr
I held my breath. That 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QtCd1poBV
sent a chill down my spine. Who was this? Dang it! I'm supposed to be 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg48kfw1RjR
asking that question, not thinking it.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAE2F4WIm0
I cleared my throat. "Hello? May I know who this is?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4yELmLQz9
The man chuckled. "Who I am isn't important. What matters is that we talk."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie7AJDaHib
"Talk? Talk about what?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxLxe8Kgxp
"Did you check the photo I sent you?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAdzqdcPnu
"Photo? What...?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp6NUaImyK
I paused when I realised the photo he was talking about. I had completely forgot about it.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAeet6t9yc
"Oh!" I slapped my forehead. "I never downloaded it to see what it was." I raised an eyebrow. "What's the photo about?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1V0V3veKj
"If you haven't seen it,987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjYcWdpo87
then it's best you see it for yourself. I can't tell you over the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLh6dyYaJn
phone. When you see it call me or text, will you, sweetheart?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus0VQXHLDV
Sweetheart? What was this guy playing at? What was the photo all about?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1RfeTbiUm
"Are you trying to blackmail me with the photo?" I asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTQFLmHGaO
"I wouldn't call it blackmail. But everything would be more interesting if you're involved."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRS7U5DTxb
"If I'm involved? What do you mean?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ4bKj15eq
I could soon hear the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05NKv4Szs0
person hanging up and I growled. I looked at my phone like I wanted to 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6WhASDQcs
break it. What was going on today? First, I had G-Dragon and Zoey to 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFHWkDQLIg
handle and now, I had this stranger calling me and making things worse.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOqrXKCDQl
I looked back at my 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGphHT94h0S
phone and started to go straight to my messages. I checked the message I987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGgLZwUgKq
had received from the unknown man and I realised that I still hadn't 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBejDb8bbua
downloaded the picture. I switched on my mobile data and started to 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr2ox3TFZe
download the photo.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV1cXdDqMS
"Sam! Zoey!" Lee came all of the sudden into the room. She almost scared me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmWzh295mG
"Goodness, Lee!" I held my chest as my heart beat fast. "There is a thing called knocking, you know?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5braCE7N4l
"I know, I thought you guys were still asleep."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOChekNogFb
"No matter," I said. "We're all awake as you can see."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JHno3dLv0
"Okay. Get ready, we have to leave for the studio."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MZbrjl4ty
I nodded and Lee left. I987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhBII2EhSi
went back to looking at my phone. I frowned. The internet was so slow 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtlEra9gM9
today. The photo hadn't finished downloading yet.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Zr6r1SW1
"I'm done," said Zoey as she came out of the bathroom in her towel. "You go get ready."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgiPiZH0U3
"I just want to see something first," I said as I pointed at my phone.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOamEqt20J
Zoey walked up to me, took my phone and threw it on her bed.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe46k2HdgD
"Zoey!"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7MHYU3KOv
"Not a word, Sam. You're987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyTphXYtMi
always the one telling me to get ready and be punctual, but you don't 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zni7nBQis
want anyone telling you anything. Just go take a shower. I wonder what's987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaIg4mViw5
up with you today."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo86aus2s7
If only she knew. So 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYFMwyqFpg
many things were running in my mind that I couldn't seem to focus on one987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxOBINhtwD
thing because something else would just pop up all of the sudden.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTN3BjWbur
I went to the bathroom 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDZTqtcOnU
and locked the door behind me. Before I could undress and get into the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzTOorkC2j
shower, I went over to the mirror above the sink and looked at my own 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHpSi2mBkb
reflection.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOefceIYME
I looked like I hadn't 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZkXr9QG2O
had sleep in days with all the dark circles underneath my eyes. I was 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RuYc2LJYH
deeply troubled, that's for sure. My problems just got increased by one 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MTWjNQjeA
if not by two.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9YNnVliDC
G-Dragon and Zoey were 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4YIZQ5iBS
my main problem to tackle today. And all of the sudden, an unknown 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqFdjVFzgA
stranger calls and tells me about the photo which I had no idea or clue 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEZWWQHrwF
about. And why he sent it to me was the most confusing part. If he 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm28SNC1Ija
wasn't blackmailing me, then what was this charade about?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzovPTFZsn
After I took a quick 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL4uGwu9pM
shower, I quickly went back in the room and I went straight for my phone987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauedHR2HW3
on Zoey's bed. Zoey had already dressed up and she went past me into 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7NltyiGJA
the bathroom to get her makeup done.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jJ5UGOT8W
I unlocked my phone. I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2ApiKqxVm
was pretty anxious about the photo that even my hands were shaking. The 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCUHYdmJKc
photo must be done downloading by now.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jIwcMqOQk
Just as I unlocked the phone, it vibrated. Someone was calling me. Oh no! What now?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MeijuuNvd
Seungri was calling. What could he probably want to talk to me about this early in the morning?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm5sEFC2xD
"Hello, Seungri?" I answered.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUvNQ1JSvI
"Morning, my panda," said Seungri.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtfcPbKIXV
"Morning. How was your night?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pf1Qrpwtf
"My night was perfect, since I dreamt of you."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre2SgPyTZ0
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.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkdJSvEDU0
"Oh, wow," I said, trying to act a little surprised. I hope he bought it.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEKMefw9wB
"I've a little something I want to give you when you get to YG."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKMD0NeAwE
I smiled a little. At 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy8rKT3Qqr
least out of all that was going on, Seungri managed to make me smile, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ536adU0RCy
which was quiet peculiar because he didn't say anything funny. I was 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjb6yJq574
already imagining another huge stuffed panda waiting for me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bW4oTLYgq
"Can't wait," I said with a little laugh. "See you."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZwuSvRrVw
"You too."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZBRShCmwq
He cut the line and I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hjjoXBbIi
threw my phone on the bed. I decided to dress up first and have my 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVkcLjfJ93
breakfast, before Zoey came back in the room and start to pressurise me 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g5Gx7w3Hn
again. I had already pissed her enough this morning.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zHqhYvSKE
After I dressed up and 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqaIS00XpL
Zoey had left for breakfast, I went in the bathroom to get my hair done 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6aGEeSEht
and applied a bit of makeup to hide my dark circles. When I was done, I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS3HI4CBr7
went back in the room and without a thought of making my bed, which I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgAunv4T9V
always did, I wore my black pumps, grabbed my phone and went out of the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF21ps9PvZn
room.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0roits9lJ
Just as I got into the lounge, I made a bee line to the dining table. Everyone was at the table eating their breakfast.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwJUPFINUK
"Someone isn't themselves this morning," said Collins as he watched me approach the dining table.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ScQIFOuvO
I knew he was talking about how late I was today. I was usually the earliest to be at the dining table.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP8RNCjf9x
"Sorry," I said as sat down next to Lee. "I was pretty bummed up, that's why."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeD71qbXaQ
"No pressure, just eat up, we have a lot of work to do today."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymVeg3844e
There was a variety of breakfast options today and I decided to take some cereal, which I haven't had in a while.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0posUvpul8
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.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac15Txqd7V
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.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sK9xnodt4
I looked at everyone at the table and when they didn't say a word, I shrugged my shoulders.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEsYcsKmEE
"What?" I asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYyLeFiS1K
Mike who sat opposite me cleared his throat. "You're eating cereal."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeuLOoginq
I frowned. "So?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISwkW4Ihkh
"But there is bacon and eggs with toast," said Daniel.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6iJoMDZ1X
I was still confused. "So?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSCHwDJawV
"You usually don't eat cereal when there is bacon, eggs and toast," said Collins.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswyyUvffLc
"And cereal is kind of like my thing," said Daniel.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB0RWBY8Jv
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?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QV3r0q0nI
"I don't see the harm in987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZXhNTFWoi
eating cereal. I have oatmeal whenever I feel like it and that's still 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLubpWHB0hX
cereal," I said. "I just wanted something different for a change. Is 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYLf2coYhh
that wrong?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMWHtcQdkX
Everyone else looked at each other and then they looked back at me, shaking their heads.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHPxev57n3
"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."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECUx9Z11hp
"I can see that," said 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd1NS99u6g
Zoey as she drank from her cup of coffee. I knew she was making fun of 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1UbxVpoQa
me but I decided not to say anything.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJp7mB4tOu
When we were done with 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm62CUsR7K6
breakfast, we headed downstairs in the lobby and the black SUV was 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA6n2TsHaL
waiting for us as usual. When we got in, I made sure to take the back 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXosb7z8MY
seat with my brothers next to the window so that I would avoid people 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ480WHCNuUb
looking at my phone.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErz31Ziq73
When everyone in the car987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KtFs5NdJS
was engrossed in some conversation that I had no interest in joining in987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtJAQDlqtm
or listening to, I decided to check my phone. The photo was done 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgxWS9jUuL
downloading and what I saw made my mouth drop and my eyes pop.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb37iYxVzX
"What's wrong, Sam?" Mike who sat next to me asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHKAIJZhEW
I quickly pressed the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5awqM2MeC
power button on the side of the phone and blacked the screen. Mike was 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyETOLJAbXf
already leaning onto my side to see what was on my phone.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsn5LWm6Qb
"Nothing, just some scary video," I said.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtkQd3VBm3
"May I see?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQpQ6ifa1I
"No. You won't be sleeping for the next two days."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavImBkeWQR
"I've watched horror movies before. I can handle a little scare."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKesauuEKnK
"No can do, bro," I said as I put my phone into my purse that I had decided to carry with me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hNcVmGxzB
Mike leaned back and folded his arms. "Whatever."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfhchxFkTS
I wish I could tell him 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf1g6tO7qj
and everyone else what was going on. But at the moment, I felt like 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8fQdEDNb0
keeping everything to myself, not after what I had seen.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye9nFo3OGG
Now that I had seen the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bYOmcSmdd
photo, I had to meet up with the stranger and talk about all this. But 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0ruu1lez5
where to meet the person and when was going to be a hustle. It was 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv9Oio5aRj
pretty obvious that I had to meet him alone.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ2IbF5TDK
Speaking of which, I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpkOBpn9DH
still had to convince G-Dragon about telling Zoey the truth. Now how was987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJkzz8pAHW
I going to do that given the little time I had in my hands? We had a 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv6XWFm2CL
music video to prepare for and we had to start working on the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTQcfWWkBD
choreography today. This was hectic. And I knew that if I was pushed 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i5VUlDdOr
further onto the edge, I would burst.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBNyzfDlDN
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.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8JjvJw1m7
My heart skipped a beat.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC5Kjmr2YK
I swallowed. This was it. G-Dragon was probably with the others waiting987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatad15w7VP
for us inside. For a moment, I didn't want to go in. But I had no 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9EBZZMqFi
choice.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xEkkA6Lqj
As soon as I stepped out987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55otG53RWV
of the vehicle, I took a deep breath as I looked at the entrance. I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47BD2gCWd0
felt like I was about to walk into hell and that frightened me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL7XityffR
"Are you okay, Sam?" Christine asked as she came to stand in front of me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhjO9bO8ZR
"I'm fine," I said. "I just realised that I haven't really thought of any ideas for the music video."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl0SzLC9ku
"You're aren't the only 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb75L9MbSb1
one," Christine said with a smile. "Let's just hope our minds will get 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKZ0dFMhVP
to work on that when we get in there."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU4xQnzyx5
I managed to put up a 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5IaEKXEBU
smile, but I knew my mind wasn't going to be on full throttle today. How987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5NrEFcLoC
I wish this wasn't happening to me right now.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UvK0kjsUt
As I came into the lobby987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SVsXKKRgE
with Christine, we found Collins talking to the receptionist. The rest 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB3cvHWWeD
were heading towards the elevator and we joined them.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTnJCi9iLC
"You will be going up to the dance studio," Collins said as he turned to us. "The others are waiting for you there."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn4iOunL7b
"Okay," the others responded. I for one felt really jumpy at the moment.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCBaJYkReT
We all got in the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYuI1Q0Suo
elevator and Mike was busy talking about some dance moves he had come up987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3MZ2FuDaK
with and I wasn't really paying attention though I did get one or two 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdvZOl14vq
things.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BKUEXFDk0
We got to the dance 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqt9BFP9xpU
studio while Lee and Collins decided to go upstairs to meet with Yang 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZykeTK6yj
Hyun-suk. We checked a few dance studios before we finally found them.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCKi0aOiEF
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted so enthusiastically as we came in the room.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ596fXU1Zbu
I was too lost in 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjypKVtyPFQ
thought to even reply to the other's greetings until Seungri came up to 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYlVZECW3r
me and hugged me. That brought me right back down to earth.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVTrkdgpCL
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Seungri asked, still hugging me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HNgHUAc1n
"I'm fine," I said, as I pulled myself away.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1grGH7eelQ
"If I know you well, you look pretty occupied in that head of yours," said TOP as he walked up to us.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiDPZlpcjd
"Tell me about it," said987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7M6Zvn4Ur
Zoey as she was now on the floor with Daesung standing right beside her987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7B1Zyho87
and she was removing her shoes. "She's been weird all morning."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTNgcNQ6IZ
"How weird?" Taeyang asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEgEiEb6Zo
"Too weird," said Daniel.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhsuj3nl62
"Cut me some slack, guys," I said. I looked at Taeyang. "They are just saying nonsense."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrmOjxeGVF
"Says the person who was so late to wake up today," said Zoey.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIz4xKXprg
"And ate sweet cereal for breakfast instead of bacon, eggs and toast," said Christine.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMUdI4CM3e
"And refused to give me her phone to check out what she was watching," said Mike.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFThxN0Tzvn
I shrugged. "So? And Mike, seriously? Just over a phone?" I shook my head at my brother.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzeHBI3lRf
"It's not like you, Sam," said Daniel. "That's all we are trying to say."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ993GtvvA9W
I rubbed my forehead. "Look, guys, I'm just a little bummed out because of yesterday. Is that so wrong?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmHcr2cvVF
"No, I think something is bothering you," said Zoey, still on the floor.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzwxOWGPQr
"I'm fine. Trust me. My mind is pretty tired."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuLZoTsYMb
"Come on, guys, let's not stress her out because of this," said Daesung. "If she says she is tired, then she is."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswLzJqhfQw
Zoey slapped Daesung's leg with her hand and Daesung looked down at her. "Don't try to defend her."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwkvdBNQbY
"I'm not."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZBoib2NEZ
Zoey snickered at him and I knew why. She still remembered the little incident yesterday with Daesung and me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH6kqPrnPj
"Where is G-Dragon?" Daniel asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSulI0rGCM
I looked around the room and I noticed that GD was the only group member who wasn't here.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisVmpiXXjK
"He went to get the choreographer," TOP answered.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tGPjPWBoI
"Now, Sam, about your little problem...." said Mike, turning to face me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDDBWm1DPh
"Not now, Mike," I said as I folded my arms. "You can attack me later, just not now."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM0jciRlLx
"Not to worry, my little kitty," said Seungri who stood right behind me. "Maybe this will cheer you up."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV5efWUFt5
Before I could turn 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGePnlk8S5
around to ask what he meant, I felt something settle at the top of my 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqQFwZImfP
head. My hand reached up for whatever it was.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6eDpYDP1h
"A lovely crown for the lovely queen of k-pop," said Seungri.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSvPKanOlW
I took the crown from 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BnVsIWmaA
the top of my head to look at it. It looked more like a tiara but it was987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksYJF6DdpM
big enough to be called a crown. It was silver and studded around with 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWk1DjjRCG
what looked like real diamonds. Perched in the middle surrounded by 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24WzyocjiT
diamonds was a sapphire stone in an oval shape.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuGU38JKFy
"Wait, are these real diamonds?" I asked as I turned to look at Seungri with a surprised look on my face.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx0SASlQtJ
"It is," said Seungri 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJt7LVCIt5
with a huge smile on his face. "And I know how much you value sapphire 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF02ZipkJGD
stones because it's your birth stone."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCirKjhttb
"Aww! Thank you so much,987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yGvpEftAe
Seungri!" I gave him a hug and I couldn't stop smiling. Somehow, I knew987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCuIZkyYdt
he was going to brighten up my day today.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqPYyMsgwc
"So pretty, let me see," said Christine, as she came and took the crown from my hand. "Wow!"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesnSuTwLu2
"I want to wear it," 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCzjCT8i0Y
said Zoey as she got up from the floor and rushed to look at the crown. 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGRYqSRvfZ
Christine put the crown on Zoey's head.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9CBIxsT2Z
"Don't I look like a 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWycUX4abAi
true queen?" Zoey asked as she looked at her reflection through the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl7NOh3vB7
studio mirrors that lined up the walls of the room.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvwLbOW46F
"You look like that evil witch in those fairy tale fantasy movies," said Mike.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI04AccD7Y
"Haha, very funny," Zoey said as she turned to look at Mike.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHR4dWdGOV
"When did you even have the time to get it done, Seungri?" I asked, still a little surprised.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WgQKiK0l9
"I have my way of doing things just to impress you," said Seungri with a corky smile.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7hWE21rEW
"Thank you. You don't know how much you just made me smile."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd82miRs1hT
"It can clearly show on your face." Seungri softly pinched my cheek and I blushed.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOslYvZ9qD
"I should get my own crown," said Christine who also wore the crown and was looking at herself in the mirror.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCZuP8UBpD
"May her royal majesty 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorrHmWBW5e
get her crown back?" Taeyang asked as he came behind Christine and took 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByUBIDNCHX
the crown from her head. He came up to me and put the crown on my head.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplA5htTJ00
"Oh, hail the queen!" Taeyang chanted and I broke into a laugh, playfully hitting him on the shoulder.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKN1ZAouCU
"Stop it, will you? You're making me blush," I said, trying to cover my laugh with my hand.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsUEooZyUv
"You look just like a real queen, Sam," said TOP.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyvgoXTaNR
"Thanks." I was still blushing like crazy.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qXKnkSC7I
"Let me take a photo," said Daesung, pulling out his phone.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7Tkzlx4T0
"Ya. The whole world should see the queen of k-pop," said Zoey.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfDli1d0Yu
"Are you really calling me that?" I asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrdhflHTOl
"We did win last night, didn't we?" Zoey asked. "Of course I'm calling you that."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO29iVhS29
I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't really taking it that seriously. It was nothing but a game."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4lkJAHSYq
"A game we won. Cheer up. We are all kings and queens with you."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWMdYYkleL
I looked on at Zoey trying to smile as best as I could, but somehow I couldn't.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjhFwAqLc9
She couldn't tell the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ac2nZiEoV
look on my face because she didn't even ask. Daesung went ahead and took987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ351734nwgF
pictures of me, and then we huddled together as a group to take a group987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS81o8n3pGF
photo with me in the middle.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9Zn2DUVY3
"Hey, what's going on here?" G-Dragon asked as he came in the room.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBHtOaSlvb
"Taking photos with the queen," said Daniel.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrdCfawmrR
"The queen?" G-Dragon looked confused until he saw the crown on top of my head. "Oh..."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfCdKB4xbe
"It's pretty, isn't it?" Zoey asked. "You should also get me one."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6q8JmzD1X
"I can make a gold one if you want," said G-Dragon.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVosOeBICXA
Zoey smiled. "Even better."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOWXDIiYLH
G-Dragon turned to 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUexU4yisMc
Taeyang. "The choreographer is going to be here any moment now. So I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonPiirlhoD
suggest we bring out your ideas if you have any. We can start without 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2zDj5b3es
him and he will find us."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcOjWK7u2z
"Mike told me over the phone earlier that he had some brand ideas," said Taeyang.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlvCaRq5zJ
"Ya, I do," said Mike. "You guys just watch. I have the song in my phone so I'll play it from there."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohf01o2VYC
We all stood on one side987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLhRr8s8EV
of the room while Mike took off his jacket and got his phone to search 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV2n2iTTbb
for the track. He gave Daniel to hold the phone and when he positioned 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzoHCsMy80
himself in the middle of the room and turned to look at us.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwn87sgJ6e
"So, I was thinking, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQlTgctH71
since G-Dragon and Zoey start the first verse, they should open up the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhbGPjIVNs
dance floor. So, I need someone to act as Zoey so that I could show you 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqbe60l89J
guys."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiStBQQZUaN
Christine came forward 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZDKyQl7ZA
and Mike gave her a few instructions on what to do. She nodded her head 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1hgJs1wg1
and Mike told Daniel to press the play button on cue.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIoYfljpT2
With Christine and Mike 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1E0znFizC
each facing opposite directions with their backs touching, the music 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYUfTsOvLr
started to play. Still not looking at each other, the two started the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31qWlQ4Ddr
dance with each of them taking a step forward, breaking the contact 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nlk8ZB3yt
between them and then like a powerful force pulling them, they dragged 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVSF3Sbh7i
themselves back and they again their backs touched.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWAcN4O0Px
With a bit of skilful 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF8HuJ7JCN
footwork, they turned to face each other and with their hands, they drew987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiczNUu1sQN
closer and then skidded away from each other with their hands in the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6PCr4U4lm
air.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh1hnUy3dX
"Then you guys will come in through the middle then make a formation in front."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzHHGFOpmu
"That's pretty awesome," said Taeyang.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW4TuRYCIi
"Very smart," said G-Dragon.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsc6Kz2kTG
"Let's practise that," said Zoey taking G-Dragon's hand and taking him in the middle of the dance floor.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9NxFaxl24
"I'll take you through the moves," said Mike as he faced them.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JwsA3ki9I
"Your brother is a total genius, isn't he?" TOP asked as he stood next to me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCQ6EFHmUJ
"Ya, he is," I said with a smile.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwB5NMoDQl
The door soon opened and987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILY6B6Hris
the person who I guessed was our choreographer walked in. We stopped 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaJmRMFbpn
what we were doing and bowed as he came further in the room.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WOD4DaSFy
"So, I see you guys are already getting started," said the choreographer.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrby0kVXVY
"Yes, we are," said Seungri.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscmglAh21K
"Okay, let me see what you have done so far."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukJK8JO1Cq
Mike and Christine 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmjx7PhkhW
stepped forward and the music playing on Mikes phone, they did the dance987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ505zfkI0iL
routine. After their hands broke apart, Mike explained how the rest of 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtBHu5Joas
us will come in the scene.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pZIb3dlqU
"Mmmm," the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykKtqxHyCo
choreographer looked on at Mike as he tapped his chin. For a moment I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ6AuvSRjy
thought he was going to say something bad, but he didn't.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHbrci7ISc
"I like it," said the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqltPwMfHx
choreographer. "So far, the starting part is brilliant. I wouldn't have 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5jRUKNf8c
thought of anything better. Now let's see if Zoey and G-Dragon could 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMRDUW5qLz
quickly work on their moves then we will come to the part when everyone 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w5Io2jCsq
comes in."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtHBPJQxKq
Zoey and G-Dragon took 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3IWDibCEr
to the center and with Mike telling and showing them what to do, they 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiD0ecTBOx
did so accordingly. After a few tries, they got the hang of it and they 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDeJqeBnPl
were perfect.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyyQwBPSgI
"Excellent," said the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOJTspCEBC
choreographer as he stood in front of us. "Now, when they break apart, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx111H16l4X
that's when the rest of you guys come in through the space in between 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjYXLt7GNM
them like a doorway. We will come in a straight line and then make a 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHZlY5gM5K
formation in front of them."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaFijqejdZ
We did as the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mqsn4ZZAM
choreographer said and the next hour, we were practising our hearts out 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ek1dQ6oSl
for the music video. We made a few mistakes here and there, but we got 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9Lub3k1UT
the hang of it.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0UQDbJqya
A few minutes later, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0qnebBe75
most of us were splayed on the floor after the choreographer announced 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1Ojjq7OaC
that we can take a break with some of us with our backs on the floor and987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTycwHb5mV
staring at the ceiling. Others were seated.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3owtMtg1eI
"This is why I hate dancing," said TOP, laying opposite me staring at the ceiling.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAapIqdAMds
I laughed, also staring 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N7TCWiEZI
at the ceiling. "I love dancing. It just makes you forget about all your987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bkTCqaxkj
problems for a while. It's kind of like sleeping."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmfP8zUehh
"Ya, true," said Christine who also had her back on the floor and laid a few feet away from me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBF2SR7cWf
Speaking of problems, I completely forgot about that French guy.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNjwg8NtyO
I quickly scrambled up 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlFcdYKYbm
from the floor passing Mike and Taeyang who were seated on the floor and987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTx33xjJ1o
still talking about the dance moves. I went to the corner of the room 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET8gFNUGac
where we had piled up our shoes and phones and my crown. I got my purse 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkPYWETy8O
and removed my phone.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPecv1N7JO
I sent a message to the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLL1QoZZhu
stranger telling him that I had already seen the photo. Thinking that he987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqZZPjuQDd
would reply later on, he repiled in an instant. That was fast. I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipvOtUXoUI
imagined he had been waiting for me to either call or text.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNPtQoxVM5
"Good. We should meet."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMivLnASoU4
Was this guy serious right now? I was really busy and meeting him didn't sound like a good idea. I texted back.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOh2Jc9jIk
"I can't see you today. I'm kind of busy."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCrRjEiuSB
"But this is a very important issue, Sam."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIF6hGScr1
Great. He was calling me by name now? How I wished I knew his.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0lvHWnmAa
I texted, "what happens if I don't meet with you today?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKYsyXGmA9
"You're one smart 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCQAl5trXr
girl. I don't have to explain because you know what will happen when the987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN7qCcrl7f
whole world sees this. It's today or never. And never comes with 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fwNu033BD
consequences."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ883l38UAJ
I growled. This guy had put me in a tight corner and I couldn't refuse.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdaiDbzC7L
"Fine. I'll tell you when to meet when I'm done."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFq3IINQ20
"That's my girl."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjsN7NoNb3
I wanted to throw up. I bet this guy was way older than me and him calling me his girl made me nauseous.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAC8sfxLCL
As I tucked my phone 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RYM5CqbZv
back into my purse, I looked up and everyone was still resting. Luckily 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUCkKeLzRa
their eyes weren't on me. I went to lay back down with TOP when I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhqGl9Vgx5
realised that Mike and Taeyang weren't the only ones engrossed in their 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0IOWlePzc
own conversation. G-Dragon and Zoey were too.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DikiPFiTo
I looked at them and unlike the others, they were whispering. I wondered what they were talking about in secret.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAfl2cqvKg
When they both turned to987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0rZXrqOhL
look at me, they quickly looked away again. My face turned pale. Oh, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQSub8dbbD
no. Were they talking about me? Their look sent me weird vibes and I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TTAau2QNA
couldn't help but feel that they were.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAciNdToP1Z
I laid back down 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx3o0xrbV6
pretending that all was alright. I stared up the ceiling as I thought. 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F47YJhoxw
Could it be that Zoey was telling G-Dragon about the conversation the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xUaf9t0xI
two of us had in our room this morning?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0W57yokjr
Yikes! If she did, then I987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVWE1phMHR
had just made a bigger mess for myself, again. If I'm right, (hoping 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsj5hxSMjy
that I'm wrong) G-Dragon wouldn't like this at all. We agreed that he 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOeJAILGHC
would tell Zoey everything. And just a few hours ago, I had almost told 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iOCjQX3la
her the whole truth. So much for trying to be honest.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGOHt4X6yc
Still in my own thoughts, the door to the studio opened. Collins, Lee and Yang Hyun-suk came in.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wOPVQVwqr
"I see you guys are bummed out," said Collins with a smirk on his face as he looked at each of us.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kRAJUT3R0
"Ya, we are," said Seungri, his back also on the floor.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXtd9LMzly
"Okay, guys, sit up, we have something to tell you," said Yang Hyun-suk.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MgFKB0wyR
Most of us who were on lying on the floor sat up and looked on intently at our managers and Lee.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qNwpl9MR5
"We came up with where we will be shooting the music video," said Yang Hyun-suk.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVmqjf4R6f
"Where?" Christine and Daesung asked at the same time.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JTYRoU4fJ
"Caribbean Bay," answered Collins.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WmT8sgbmM
"Caribbean Bay?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFDOwxJ3ER
"It's not the only place we would be shooting the video," said Lee, tilting her head at me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlw2ePbUQH
"But it would be more likely that we would shoot it at Caribbean Bay?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH8amYTn67
"That's right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Do you think it's a bad idea?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcNAxDv0UY
"No. It sounds great."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchZYJndoaJ
"Well, the song is based on fun," said Zoey. "And we did have fun there."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jgkvwh9nm
"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.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK72sUrSOv
"Haha, that was fun," said Daniel, staring off into space with a smile.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeCuCCEeeV
"So, you finish up the choreography today and then we can start shooting the video on Monday."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCOPRSsk1l
"But can't we meet tomorrow?" I asked. "You know, to perfect the dance and all?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1bO2QtTMO
"I don't think people will like to meet on a Sunday," said Collins.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQf9v8Eiqy
"True," said Taeyang.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAD6Asko0n
"Okay," I said, feeling a987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyse8mKqlK5
little disappointed. That meant we had to finish up and perfect the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLf1GJoLSj
dance routine today. And I don't know what time we will be done.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYrLSueysg
"Okay, we'll leave you guys," said Yang Hyun-suk.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG6kOzcFCK
After the three had 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLraH9aqF32
left, we went back to what we were doing, waiting for the choreographer 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmNVNcFRea
to show up because he was coming in with some backup dancers.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1fyghhUfs
While we waited, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc6Dc3xlRt
G-Dragon came over to me, his head hovered over my sight as I still laid987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdHvExIc9v
down on the floor. I looked up at this face and couldn't make up the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWrpxCjelx
expression on his face.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqm8c3N136
"Sam, we need to talk," he said, as he looked down on me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sd0Fiod98
He sounded serious and I987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUSJ2sU7mJ
couldn't say no. I tried not to show that I was scared but I could feel987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxaGXZIBeL
my body tremble. All I did was nod my head.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnkld6h85T
"Let's talk outside," he said and he went ahead of me out of the room.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ05UNwQKiA
I got up from the floor 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBrs6C6tqq
and I realised that everyone was looking at me now, obviously wondering 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7q5hfjJO3
what was going on. I ignored them and none of them asked anything as I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeFNJwGYfK
stood up from the floor and walked out of the room.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYryw7qfXI
I found G-Dragon three 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxc7ENspcE
doors down the hall, obviously trying to avoid anyone from listening to 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU1TZN9Q2m
our conversation. I quickly walked up to him with his back facing me. I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1rsTvzeTn
stopped a few feet away from him taking extra precaution not to be too 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvR4waQkVn
close.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBllzJz3AU
"I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" I asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQyalHAhvi
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.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oR5HctbLf
"It's about Zoey," he said.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrzEjrHjC8
I gulped. "Zoey must have told you what happened this morning, didn't she?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQofKrFguH
"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?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJpGqyjC01
"Sorry, I just.... I couldn't keep lying anymore."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArHmxPymky
"Really? That's all you can say?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio9v8Tvc5R
"Well, it's the truth. And besides, I never told her that you liked me, because I couldn't bring myself to."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tvwZ6Os6R
"But you almost had."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcur3ffKne
"Yet I couldn't."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUCOZdFgge
"Zoey is right. You're 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj84ydTJipA
been acting really weird today. Weird enough to tell her the truth when 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW4FhRrlEK
you know I was supposed to do it."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSsxhDL0wC
"Well, you were taking too much time and I couldn't help myself seeing the way how angry you were yesterday and now."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5URpPzV0v
"And so telling the truth would help solve my anger issue? Or are you jealous of Zoey because she is happy with me?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheGVjFnKyH
I paused before I could say, "what?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZdQpUOzMp
"You heard me loud and 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMT0a9Vgla
clear, Sam. As though kissing Daesung wasn't enough, you're now trying 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvgLivcb3I
to take matters into your own hands."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbHkucRjB6
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.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJB3xAR1UN
"Wait, that's not true," I said.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9DURYNrGE
"Which one? You kissing Daesung or taking matters into your hands?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwdyjuP4Cb
I now realised that I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDtZJInJWp
was stuck. This time I couldn't tell if he was sure that I had kissed 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1wH2CIRsR
Daesung or he was trying to test me to see what I would say to prove his987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA3E5eTAS5
assumption right. But there was no point in hiding now. The truth was 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkNYfHscPZ
bound to come up sooner rather than later.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8203LsXTJ
"Aren't you going to answer? Which one of the two?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIxWCIaNZJ
I sighed. "You're being ridiculous, GD."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINVpJ9Wyj7
"But I'm not and you know it." He took a step closer. "Now answer the question. Which one?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oDOCR5yH0
"If you want to hear it, then fine. I did kiss Daesung but it's not what you think."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDK4XFZW3G
G-Dragon took a step 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmXPoQyGpy
back. "I knew it. You tell me you want nothing to do with me and then 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1BUvb4npo
you kiss my best friend who is like a brother to me!"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HWwkmVHph
"You wanted the truth, didn't you? You got one! But backstabbing you wasn't what happened."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoLjX1iE1Y
"Then what did happen?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6eSm8nhx9
"All of this is nothing 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgqfQeQX83
but a misunderstanding. I never went back on my word. Things just 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VJfpY6g2C
happened that I myself couldn't control."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6FMOWOQM4
"Don't lie to me, Sam."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfffBQhnrw
"You know what, I'm 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXpPujSDnx
trying my best here to try and tell you the truth but you're acting like987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3Tj1FCkVa
a deaf person blocking my words out. I knew from the very beginning 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnUA8CUGuf
that I could never be with you nor with Daesung and I have accepted it. I987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXWpX1b5lD
talked about that with him yesterday. That's why he kissed me."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnl6UKQDhI
G-Dragon shook his head. "So you're saying that he kissed you and not that you kissed him?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hOhiuRkLr
"Yes. But I know you 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ960lJAP4jd
won't believe me. Unlike you, at least Daesung realised and accepted it 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7coLQ2RKF
for himself that he and I could never be together."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsxF0gpFXL
I looked at G-Dragon and I knew I hit the spot. I just hope that what I said would make him understand.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDeBKg5dRj
"The sooner you accept all this, the better it would be for all of us," I said.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKlozAOIi3
I turned around to head 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHnCWohwBD
back for the studio. As I walked away, I realised that I wasn't upset or987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP1zzrd9Wo
angry. I was frustrated and my problems were far from over.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQsddCeh8O
When I came back in the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJgq8rSN0E
studio, all eyes were on me as soon as I walked in. I could tell on 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX93xK8cTYS
their faces that they had heard the entire conversation.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczWr6CUvSu
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5vKtxC0xq
I didn't want to beat around the brush. "No. I'm not."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTqkV5DcF3
I came in further into the room and sat down on the floor, not looking at the others.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvmjS9S5LG
"You and G-Dragon were arguing," said Zoey as she came to sit down beside me. "Would like to talk about it?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzoZXG5sMn
I looked at Zoey. "I'm certainly not the one to tell you what's going on."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIN5cPqAko
I went back to looking at the floor. My chin rested on my knees and I hugged myself, lost in thought.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho6vkpi85P
I heard the door open 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8WXizDmMX
behind me and I knew G-Dragon had come into the room. At the corner of 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuChe9ezARZ
my eye, I could see Zoey turn towards the door.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEhmnVMIyH
"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."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT1woIMnjC
"It's nothing," I heard G-Dragon say.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNRiUXfuAa
"It's nothing? Looking at both of your faces, something did happen," said TOP.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYkTxeWMuu
"Look guys," I said as 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe32jo0G10Z
quickly stood up from the floor and turned to face them. "Tell me if I'm987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5bnS9WMqe
wrong, but you guys heard the entire conversation, right?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIuF7gwfjj
No one said anything and they had guilty looks on their faces. That settled it.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O9hBZiuag
"I'm sorry you had to hear all that," I said as I scratched my head. "We shouldn't have been so loud."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7KNTF9HVK
"Why didn't you two tell us all this before?" Seungri asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwY3U37O54
I didn't say anything 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4542Enngh
and neither did G-Dragon. We looked at each other and then at the others987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZYOe9hX2s
who were waiting for either of us to say something.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l6qmn90x2
Before anyone could 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXUkUZ3gH1
break the silence, the door to the studio opened and the choreographer 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh7xfqqXiK
came in with some backup dancers and pretending like nothing happened, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU05JYcgRG
we went back to practising.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv1XoK1h9c
I don't know how I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5SxhG2qqg
managed to go through the entire dance session without making a mistake.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ofoz22uOu
Not after what happened some minutes ago. Now that everyone knows 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgDlFw2qkO
what's been going on between G-Dragon and I, it was supposed to affect 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6VWLm0bWX
me in some way but it didn't. I felt bad, but right now I had to keep my987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0J0MMGoq2
head in the real world and not mess things up.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmvw2vFdxX
It was lunch time and 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6GpO26WyU
again we took a break. We were almost done with the dance routine but I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tffOEZ79c
was so tired, I wondered if I would be able to meet up with the unknown 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2cdzLu6bV
stranger.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYQB9tkFg5
Now that we were on a 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3US1DQXNm2
break, no one said anything to each other even after the choreographer 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUzAqjKqmv
left with the backup dancers. As much as I would have loved to say 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTLDDp0Sb6
something to the others concerning the argument, I couldn't. It was just987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRvUTzMaLL
too awkward for me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oHxALvZRy
Zoey cleared her throat first. "Mmmm, so are we going to talk about this or are we going to have lunch?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4YasbOg3W
I looked at Zoey. "You and G-Dragon have a lot to talk about." I then turned to face G-Dragon.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa3pkBKA7T
"Sam's right, Zoey," said G-Dragon.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MKpQY0413
Zoey looked a little downcast as though she knew to expect the worst.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWXIeY4aSU
"Well, you guys can talk if you want," said Seungri, "but I'm hungry."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJGx9LfIRu
"Ya, me too," said Daniel.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO9TzrbaZI
"We can order a pizza," said Christine.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHHGpXAYpT
"Good idea," said Taeyang.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZStobqcZ5
As though they couldn't 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQHlxdUOnm
stay in the room any longer, the others walked out, leaving Zoey, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNUNtNYQvX
G-Dragon and I in the room. I couldn't blame them. There was too much 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW7J2TiFYv
tension going on and I couldn't help to think it was entirely my fault.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6fckxaQAa
A few seconds later, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTERXE08Z5R
when I knew that the others had gone, I also left the room with my purse987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBPNDiP3iH
and crown without saying a word. Zoey and G-Dragon had a lot of talking987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat3jJEUzhy
to do and I would come back for that later. And while the others had 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiapnOaZJ05
plans for lunch, I had other plans of my own.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRvX3oV6vs
As I walked down the empty hall, I called Lee and she picked up immediately.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNKq3Y0nQ7
"Hey, Sam, why are you calling?" Lee asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuybej6h6c
"A lot has happened 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y2uNBnCap
today that I need to tell you, Lee," I said, keeping my voice down in 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDIxeLZ43d
case there were any people snooping around.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPIzMlXL2l
"What? What's happened?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwCNM7dfkH
"Everyone now knows the truth about G-Dragon and I. They heard us arguing."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmv5egq3Q7
I could hear Lee gasp and I pictured her ready to drop and faint. "For real? Oh, gosh, this is bad."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KVAhLS7tV
"That's not the worst 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OBRLEyNf6
part," I said as I found myself at the end of the hall going down a 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0U5MqXEPH
flight of stairs. "A weird guy called me today and I need to meet him."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOHuVp8ZVW
"Huh? What for? Who is this guy?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdPD8cbFcq
"Like I said, he is 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wOYcntCbc
weird. Something bad came up and if I don't meet him soon, a lot of us 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y6IbTisRd
are going to be toast especially with the press."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxomojyFjG
"Is he blackmailing you or something?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTce9nAvIn
"I'm not sure if I can 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVz6AlEmG7
call it that. But if I'm affected too, then it kind of looks that way. 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7G2hBktli
Do me a favour and meet me at the back of the building."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycpR0jNmmz
Lee paused. "Why? You aren't going to meet him, are you?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UWtMVDVIF
"I've no choice and I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx5gPHiCj6
would better do it now because we are going to be here for a while until987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANlSOTNjjo
we are done with the dance routine. Bring me a pair of sunglasses, a 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImrX08YI2a
cap and a scarf."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTycT54CKRo
"What will you need that for?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjirpUbRwNz
"Trust me," I said as stopped on the stairs. I wasn't too sure which floor I was on at the moment.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RyNGFGiEP
"Okay, fine. I'll see where I can get those."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fDwFnzUKM
"Thanks, Lee. Don't tell anyone."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZvDdtEOKR
I cut the call and this 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFJtPct9wY
time, I ran down the stairs with a new found energy. I was tired from 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH7ARL55oL
all the dancing but I had some reasonable ounce of energy left in me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhL66RJAy2
I reached the bottom of 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB27A9eyTe1
the steps. I had reached the ground floor. There was a passage behind 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4puSkqghY
the stairs which lead to a door. The back door, I presume. And in front 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDdKRhXAxl
of me was a short passage which lead to the lobby. I could hear a few 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l8JDLk6wB
voices that I could recognise.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yz2ygaPsb
I went over to look, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1msoWhagK
making sure I had my back against the wall. I took a peek and I saw The 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0YUPAIfrN
Toxins and BigBang in the lobby heading out. They were going out for 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zHwKGWN7C
lunch instead of ordering it from here. Before I could turn around and 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBoGNRLNCp
head for the back door, I ended up hearing their conversation.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5JTbaeQeg
"I wish Sam could have told me what was going on," said Christine.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFcz1s9QWB
"How could we have known?" Daesung asked. "Sam and I just talked about it yesterday, but she never mentioned G-Dragon."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDTEotqb1b
"I'm just surprised that987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW1ZTaTZLc
you kissed my sister," said Mike. For some reason, I was surprised that987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE0MVTaMUz
he wasn't upset like I thought he would.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGqil9Zk3C
"Well, whatever she did that for," said Taeyang, "she will tell us eventually."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NX35rOc74
"Should we go back for her and see if she would come with us for lunch?" TOP asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdKpfwUFJN
"No, I bet she wants to be alone for a while," said Seungri.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOMY1MOgwT
"I think so too," said 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLH2ozCdkq
Daniel. "But just in case, we would order her and the others a takeout. 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9g647YsIP
Sometimes Sam would starve herself without even realising it."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcUETbGd2w
The next thing I knew, their voices became distant. I peeked again and I saw that they had already walked out of the lobby.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB2AsLqul3
I was expecting them to 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9oyQo0erQ
be mad and all, but they didn't seem like they were. Maybe they were 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECfIQdqGgc
just hiding it and they would throw all of their anger on me later on. 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg3infH9pn
Who knows?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqlYRQEb4m
Throwing that thought 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLGYgTr0XX
out of my head, I quickly went back down the hall, heading for the back 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYA6xgdPXv
door. I hope it wasn't locked. I swung the door and it opened. Lucky me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEVUZeusWM
Now I had to wait for Lee to show up.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zPdRXlnGH
There were still more 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3Dk2n9VDu
vehicles parked at the back of the building. Some of which were delivery987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrp8aXrMMN
trucks. I waited for Lee on the slab with my back leaning against the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoerQVo3PG1
wall. I could hear the sound of the vehicle's engine coming from the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBpYbyOdTE
front and I knew the others were leaving until I heard the noise fade 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd4ZELoyo1
away.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OfhLx8Ztu
In what seemed like 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0XQbKTn0h
forever, Lee appeared around the corner of the building with her 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOlhSYVR1K
handbag. When she spotted me, she quickened her steps.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHCT9CbnMv
"It's about time," I said with my arms folded.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva0YWttLvE
"Don't act all grumpy on me," said Lee. "So as to let you know, finding what you wanted wasn't all that easy."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEI0REaZ09
"Okay, thanks," I said as Lee gave me her bag and I gave her my crown and purse to hold. "Hold this."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpp9Q1QIcl
"Oh, wow!" Lee marvelled as she looked at my crown. "Who gave this to you?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzebLeP9ojw
"Seungri," I answered as I rummaged through the bag to get the items out.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwANYxgfghf
"This is so pretty. These diamonds look so real."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbMCQZLSqo
"They are," I said as I put the blue baseball cap on.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqgtvCeMod
"So sweet of him to do this," said Lee. She looked at me. "Are they all still inside?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OMdxlakGx
"They have gone out for 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPTrfBoPZE
lunch. But Zoey and G-Dragon are talking in the studio. Hopefully things987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziDgxc9qRy
will work out okay. Though I highly doubt it will."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KHWt7g8Vb
"Things are really bad, huh?" Lee asked with a sad expression on her face.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJMwXorkSu
"Ya. And they are about 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMveumoB733
to get a whole lot worse. Wish me luck." I put on the sunglasses and the987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkckmG6Cdj
light scarf around my neck. Lee gave me back my purse.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW1js0mw99
"Okay. Tell me how everything goes," said Lee. "Want me to escort you out of the gate?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8A7jHsZFh
"Ya, that will be a good987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizz69H14Ej
idea," I said. "Leaving me alone would be dangerous and who knows what 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7WKvqOGHp
the guards might think when they see me."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA97L85TYGP
Lee and I started to 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cfVEgp2sG
walk and we turned around the corner finding ourselves back at the front987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyuI1p62Fc
parking lot. As we were heading towards the gate, Lee started some 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vK94Acqj2
random conversation and I played along making sure not to look 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX4zqHQ9io
suspicious in front of the guards who didn't seem to be paying much 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOurlyeIizd
attention. I made sure that they didn't notice my face.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDb2iSfWIN
When I finally managed 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxgVOkRaq0
to get out of the gate, Lee wished me luck. I nodded my head and walked 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzRjDFxY51
away from the YG gate and down the street.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vtd2cRCVT
I had to admit, I was so987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXz0aMHf2o
scared. For one reason, I had no idea where I was going since I hadn't 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9narlSkbdk
fully known the place and this was the first time I had to walk around 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sKayV5LC2
in the streets by myself. Going around alone was too dangerous for me 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNGGRBmOTd
and I was crazy to think I would manage on my own.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTpUV0ERJ3
After walking a few 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ3ANvI2DH
blocks away from YG, I reached the crosswords and I stopped at the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMsqYnnF6v
traffic walking sign. I looked around and so far, no one had recognised 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVRoYeA5nb
me under my little disguise. When the robot indicated 'walk' I crossed 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF1KQcREC3
the road with a few people and got to the other side of the street.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk8DnJrRdk
As I walked, passing a shoe shop, I took my phone out from my purse and called the unknown man.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHAbR8lc7d
"Ah, you finally called," said the stranger who had answered after the first ring. "I've been waiting."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS9gzYWouP
"Ya, I figured," I said, looking around hoping that no one noticed me but the cap hid my face987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1apyyPoq9D
pretty well. "I've no idea where to meet you and I'm not so familiar with the place."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFUIVHVu1A
"Not to worry, dear. I already see you. Nice disguise by the way. I can hardly tell it is you under that baseball cap."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jCYjFreYT
I froze as I soon looked987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UUAZotrBy
left and right and across the street hoping to see him. But I couldn't 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGRY9UnRJU
spot out any French native among the midst of Koreans. Feeling a little 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihDK1j4Pzk
out of place, I figured I might just be the odd one around here too.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNyqPKXHPQ
I heard him laugh 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuJoFMswmX
through the phone and I could tell he was making fun of me. "Not to 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqFb4b9y3E
worry, Sam. Be careful or you might just blow your cover."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKPROLsHeF
I gritted my teeth. "Just show yourself. Where are you?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZIE0mPv8o
"I'm right here."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7ALeahMF3
"Right where?" I looked around and still nothing. People walked past me and I got frustrated. "Don't try play games with-"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYqoB3s959
My sentence was cut 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrPQ3eNLXW
short when down the road, a fancy black shiny Bugatti parked at the edge987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cj4wihgwf
of the concrete slab right in front of me. I looked on with my mouth 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ds90fhAlk
agape. I have always admired fancy cars but this was one hell of a ride.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr6R7dikYk
A smartly dressed 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUDsq8n7uP
looking chauffeur came out of the driver's seat and came to my side. 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnKlexyyIX
With his white gloved hand, he opened the door to the passenger's seat.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuQU4Y8XPV
"You may go in, mademoiselle," said the driver in deep French accent, as he bowed.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6roSvSvbeE
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.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru0mPZ65lB
A few heads turned my 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ceOQC2Spz
way and I could only imagine what people must think of a Bugatti and a 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDoZYBRlwO
smartly dressed chauffeur waiting for me to go in. Strange, I suppose 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjeE1LhhoR
and a little suspicious too.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzam7vwqmG
I managed to awake from 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRrbZryDOU
my slumber and got in the car before people fully start to look at me 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh1H50XFk8
and figure out who I was. As I got in, a nice car smell wafted in the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aHVxpLOsL
air and into my nostrils. The chauffeur closed the door and went to the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklOiGkLhTG
driver's seat.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefif269LtE
"Samantha Glasson, nice to finally meet you at last," came a deep voice.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBa0iMPG01
With my eyes, I looked 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3XJkQ7cGe
at the person sitting right beside me in the passenger's seat. For a 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKLLAiiayM
moment, I was scared. But when I looked at the man fully, my face fell.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhriUH1AzY
He looked to be in the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DnPQBFtMH
same age group as me but maybe two years older. I guessed in my head 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtCJbPpnSV
that he must be 24 or 25. He had gorgeous blue eyes like the colour of 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN2ydczwcn
the sea and brown short curly hair. His dashing lips were lifted up into987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HGwKcup1B
a smile and under that navy blue suit of his, I could tell he was one 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBwsZZLukT
who had one heck of a body.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMPnd7RXmW
I hadn't said a word and987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhBvqNuZGF
the car started to drive down the road when the young man offered his 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzFtmng5sW
open hand. I stared at it and noticed a shiny gold Rolex on his left 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VbmxmNYe6
wrist. Who was this guy?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6ImvG1ImQ
"Aren't we going to shake hands?" he asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8qalpAhfm
I opened my mouth but 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNTZVQRikV
then closed it again knowing that it was pointless to argue. I took his 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs9ladhpnP
hand and shook it, scared that I might receive a shocking zap from the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2bBT6GgKt
contact.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OXFx18dDd
"And you must be the guy I was talking to over the phone?" I asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLippghbxxF
"Yes, a pleasure to meet987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPI2CnGtEQ
your acquaintance." He lightly pressed his lips on the back of my palm 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0AzhKR2PE
and I blushed as I slowly withdrew my hand.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVQay8fA0B
"I'm sorry we had to 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXXeMRMNP8
meet under such awkward circumstances," he said as he leaned back in the987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9EqHaxWa7
fancy leathered seats. "But I needed to talk to you, and fast."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphbTDHJD0h
I looked at him and 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rfCi19v0D
realised that all his was just too surreal. This wasn't what I was 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaCi8yzogL
expecting. I was expecting a man much older than me and rafia looking. 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqsvR8Ng7w
This guy right beside me looked like one of those handsome Greek gods we987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYot2K3nhC
hear about in mythical tales.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8uM3HxdLd
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked with the corner of his lips raised up to a smile.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49jcVBzDJv
"I...uh." Yikes! I was 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vBybWKs9b
caught looking at him. I blushed and turned to face the window beside 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkluKflAvL
me. "Nothing. This wasn't what I was expecting."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XvcUOHTMa
There was silence and I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXREDhcsNth
didn't want to look at him. He was obviously looking at me and that made987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLpInOZUZz
me play around with my fingers because I was nervous. Then I realised 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrQKBAqnmQ
something.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQmfEcEhuX
"You never told me your name," I said as I looked at him. Dang it! I wasn't supposed to look at him.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP09K6eakd
"Oh, silly me. Where are my manners? I'm Derrick."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT2xcBTzwP
"That's a weird name, given that you're French."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvRFAvxQ9K
"I was born in the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8lNgy01xc
States and my parents preferred giving me this name even though they are987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC3DWAiKSU
both French. I grew up in France almost my whole life and my parents 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRPgR5Mgcn
are people who like to travel a lot for business. Building their 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8zDNugWmO
business empire is what's so important to them."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg9FJeqJzG
"I can clearly see that," I said as I wondrously looked around in the car.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOpJug0oNU
My expression might have amused him because he chuckled. I blushed as I pushed my glasses further up my nose and folded my arms.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkWzNSMWbh
"This is going to be fun," he said to himself.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCflsN4QAZQ
I changed the topic. "About the photo, why did you want to see me?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2HUM7G0SJ
"Can we talk about this over lunch?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2962mJ3i1
"Lunch?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYPYPuvX8R
"Yes, lunch."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnba4XLPycp
A moment ago, I wasn't in the mood for lunch. But now that he mentioned it, I was starving.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS6dvx5fzT
"Lunch sounds good. But not in the open. I don't want to grab any attention."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRf3Ql7Uir
"Of course. I figured you would want that. Given that no one knows where you are anyway."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAu2JUrXGp
I raised an eyebrow at 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuit21P154
him. "You've been following me the whole time, haven't you? That's how 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cdMy5xfzp
you have been able to find me on the street."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2hAu5hpYH
He gave me that dashing 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X3V4xoQhu
smile of his. "Of course. I just had to. I knew sooner or later that we 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlN423iMPy
would meet. I had to come prepared."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQnGxO3ODC
"That's sounds creepy if you ask me," I said as looked out the window. "So, where are we going?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtGnUjUoMV
"My apartment. It's much safer there."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY5CXJ0qk9
"You own an apartment?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw6SzhBy4R
"Like I said, my parents travel around for world and South Korea, is one of their favourite spots."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu3te9nww8
"So, it's their apartment then and not yours."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmg1wmK4PY
"They have their own apartment and I have mine."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqD5VMcqk2
"Oh." I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6VagwpJqn
"Here we are now," said Derrick as he looked out of the car window on his side and followed suit.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtqK9nsyu4
It was a huge apartment 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThdcXKv53T
building kind of like the ones famous people live in. The car took a 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yRtWdGH3t
turn and went down the road to an underground parking lot.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP91gl37Xki
After the car parked, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ml74oXLK1
the chauffeur quickly came out and opened the car door on Derrick's 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoywHFZdyk
side. Derrick came out and I followed. Before I could step out of the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwbcvwYoNR
car, Derrick held out his hand to help me out. I took his hand and I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpsn7BuoZc
came out of the car.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaT6PvzdDb
Derrick lead the way, 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnroqa0dTDt
still holding my hand, to the elevator and the chauffeur stayed behind 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFefbngNXp
with the car as he watched us go. I couldn't help but feel that the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN4m7aWCSO
chauffeur had been smiling at us from the time we got out of the car.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoIKHobE5z
Derrick pressed the elevator button and when they drew open, we stepped in at the same time.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFeMYhlsct
When the door closed, I withdrew my hand from his. He pressed the button to his floor and I felt the elevator move.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmzeIv6d5W
"So, about that photo, I need to know what's going on," I said as stared at the floor.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRwjry3ccC
"What do you want to know?" Derrick asked. I could feel his eyes on me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3YyuWBHVZ
"Everything," I said as I looked at him. "But one thing I don't get is why you're involving me in all this."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga2SPdlVY4
"But don't you want to know what's going on?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAyrr55Ehn
"Well, ya, I do! You're 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEVqlo2XoT
the one who sent me the photo so I'm curious. Do you know what? It was 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZG45WIfwS
best you didn't send it to me in the first place."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwvU48SbvM
"Why?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzxEnQJrFb
"Maybe then I wouldn't be here."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogtF5macQ1
The elevator doors flew 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuhAmCq6SA
open and in front of me was a lavishly looking hall. The white painted 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsz9Mj0pLd
hall and the bright lighting above made the hall look angelic that if 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLmin3uisC
you were to see it for yourself, you would think you had just stepped 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zbGHlTYpt
into heaven.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXWvBStjtR
I stepped out of the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFXclvircR
elevator and beautiful paintings lined up the walls. I noticed that the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfGC6E55uP
doors leading to other people's apartments were white doors with fancy 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH3gj9SKn1
looking gold plated handles. The floor of the hall was covered with a 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AoP8j8oKF
soft red carpet.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqm5jiFQFx
"This place looks nice," I said as I walked down the hall.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d4XZbAE6o
"I know," said Derrick as he came up behind me. "My apartment is the door at the end of the hall."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TFV55r01N
I looked down the hall 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6sxOdpAex
and there stood two huge white doors. I walked up to it and just as I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlG5s664Ou
was about to turn and look at Derrick, the right door flew open and in 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E2TqVqEdI
front of me stood a smartly dressed butler. It's like he knew I was 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgMIrAf4DJ
coming.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GsjBNihhd
"Welcome, mademoiselle," said the butler as he stepped aside and and with his hand, he gestured to come in.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHi7aPE5EV
For a moment, I hesitated. Until I felt Derrick behind me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bl3xHIOrm
"Ladies first," said Derrick.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNhEWuH6c0
I gulped and took a step into his apartment.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ba4wfPE6C
"This place is very 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj26mitB9YD
nice," I said when I looked around the foyer and I when turned round the987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcccm8NRAT4
corner, there was lavishly looking sitting room with creamed coloured 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT8SlKpHRy
sofas with a glass coffee table and I huge smart screen TV pinned on the987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocAJDePYrp
wall.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTgEV6gwO5
I looked to the other 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxZlwZNdmZ
side and there was a fancy looking table with a beautuful chandelier 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5OlVofJKk
above it. Beautiful artistic pictures filled the place and there were 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqFtrJpiIs
beautiful flower vases with orchids.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcxt2KKWIm
"I see you like 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKZDdd7ahH
orchids," I said as I went over to the flower vase close to the sitting 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyiJ3EhTjk
area and looked at the orchids. They were fresh and lovely.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchvTEGkFsy
"I know you like roses," said Derrick as he stared at me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBISbSE4pA5
"Almost everything that celebrities like and don't like are always found on the internet." I rolled my eyes at him.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcel4gFvfb
"True, but I can tell what a woman likes and doesn't."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX8WszwcDY
I gave him a smile that showed how impressed I was.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAsvMuQD8p
"Lunch is ready, sir," said the butler. "Should I serve the food?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFY8bwfPSR
"Yes, please," sad Derrick.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGX3ZVXaetw
The butler bowed and 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xGo74NdQz
left for the kitchen. I continued to look around and I went over by the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrClhs9DhVq
windows to look down at the city below. We were so high above the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPNBwEaTzK
ground.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEqDoypwCt
"Is it just me or are we on the last floor of this building?" I asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIPbnQAZRu
"We are," said Derrick who came to join me by the window. "This place is lovely, isn't it?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACClv5DS7e
"Ya, it surly is." I knew he meant Seoul.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna1jBKSveA
"Food is ready, Master Derrick," came the butler behind us.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnCB5HGlzU
"Shall we?" Derrick gestured his hand towards the dining table and I walked up to it with him following behind me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPudcpk4ME
As we got to the dining 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFiS2HW0KP
table, Derrick pushed back a chair for me and I took my seat, removing 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDmRZmyy1y
my glasses and cap putting the glasses in my purse. I said thank you and987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKH99q8eSz
he sat at the head of the table right next to mine.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv8rhiCETs
The butler had served 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYb1st8QH5
our plates on the table and just by looking at the cutlery and napkins 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD8Mg08xjp
laid and folded neatly I couldn't help but feel I was in some kind of 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIBahiOOJt
fancy fairytale. The table was set to perfection and the wine glasses 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09xlY2EJHE
next to the plates were spotless.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rKQbSZIHI
Dishes of food were 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF8Ht0cxl0
lined in the middle of the table and my mouth couldn't help but water. 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMsjRL1Frx
If I wasn't in such an elegant apartment, I would have just dug in and 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dRLkHQIr0
started to eat. I was really hungry. But for now, I had to act like a 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarw0EqfBmf
lady.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK93OiLBD5
The butler helped to 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlOPOqdthT
serve the food and I didn't hesitate eating right there and then. I made987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELI650GNbg
sure not to eat too much and take my time.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WapMUWcAI
"This was really good," I said, after I was done with my food.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd6w3ClX4H
"France's finest traditional dishes," said Derrick with a smile.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7jrjD1OeF
"Now, about the issue at987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2xkU79c3g
hand," I said, wiping the corner of my mouth with a napkin as the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XzUzSIWqS
butler came to take away my plate and also Derrick's.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAW5Sheczy
"Let's talk then," said Derrick.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugmnsfolnZ
"First of all, I need to know why you sent it to me."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSI7XXkBz3
"Because as much as you don't want to get involved, it concerns you more than you can ever imagine."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGgiST9nqQ
I shook my head as I got my purse and removed my phone. I went to the gallery and checked out the photo.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWUkCoDPwL
"How does this have to do with me?" I asked as I showed him the photo.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3lOJhy6o4
The photo showed Zoey in987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyhWFgYhIS
a some place that looked like a garden or a park and in front of her 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUzarxGCsK
stood a man I couldn't recognise. His face was hidden because his back 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH8dAnk8kZ
faced the camera and whoever had taken the photo, took it behind some 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMU0TGQraK
bushes so it was hard to make out who he was. But there was something 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxAJPr9KYf
completely odd about what I saw in the photo.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORY5WEOuYL
"I know this isn't 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNdbH88UGB
really supposed to concern me," I said as Derrick looked at the photo 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oMtiv5H5O
and then back at me. "Who was Zoey with?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZKlRVX0xU
"That's my brother," Derrick answered.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusPRF3lHQc
Now that was a surprise. Derrick had a brother?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayb27xKqqp
"Wait? Brother?" I raised an eyebrow.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UcbuYc3p6
"Sadly, yes," said Derrick clearing his throat.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUYepIJwxQ
I looked at the photo 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zr1xYMtcg
again. "So, you're saying that, this happened the time Zoey went to 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TbEz7RBYo
Paris with G-Dragon and the others? And this person in the photo is your987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYbj65KcaC
brother?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqMZ4GOeoy
I still couldn't believe it when Derrick nodded his head at me.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vVCLBV1B0
"You never told me you had a brother," I said, looking at Derrick.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuFci4HXfE
"We don't really get along," said Derrick.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDjkIJXyQf
"That figures," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Why?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB5LPPndrb
"We have been different from each other since we were kids. You can't even tell that he and I are brothers."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSZjOfWEd5
"So, what's do you think he wants with Zoey?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj729f9mAia
"I have no idea but I know it's something serious."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J7MusIWiE
"So, you're just assuming all this or what?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0IZNC9pg4
"I know my brother very 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTaqe1pIZU
well. I know something is going on between the two of them. I had my 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcVng9iBFH
suspicions during the Chanel fashion show."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ULvixCOb
I then remembered the 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBCdtxmnH3
time Zoey came back to Korea the following day after the fashion show. 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC4qWx7xMF
She was acting all weird and the way she had hugged me surprised me a 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElwRFnro2N
little. And so did the others. Were these guys really in trouble?987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzvO1IuVxN
"Are my brothers and Christine involved in this too?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9wqWWqHzV
"I can't be too sure. You have to ask them."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZobVqrFHiO
"But that's strange. If 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQFB1tABwG
it's something so serious as you put it, they would have told me. I 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG9APhkLrq
don't see the reason why they would hide."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB3ncT5uTZ
"If it's anything concerning my brother, I suggest you find out what's going on and fast. I don't like it."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORRpGy8EV1
"But what if all this isn't that serious? In fact, what makes you think your brother is that dangerous enough to hurt us?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYDMCCXGhX
Derrick leaned back on his chair as he looked at me and I waited for him to answer.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi2XfkeBSd
"My brother isn't one person to mess around with. He is one person who threatens when things don't go his way."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2ytOOQixZ
"You think he is threatening Zoey?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43ZnTYn7vQ
"He did visit Zoey in that café, didn't he?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFshVOWUB0
"Wait! That was him?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6Zf3bKRhj
"Yes. I was there."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn6dWJrSjA
"You were there too?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4L57FKV6k
"Yes. That's when I thought you should help me out with this."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm8cYfq8sc
"But what if I can't?" I folded my arms987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFdewY9sVx
"Zoey is your best friend, isn't she?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWrJqkGdnS
"She is."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nBIIj72Uw
"And wouldn't you like to help her out?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6qWHlUdrE
I was frustrated with the questions. "I would. But if she didn't tell me, then maybe it's not that serious."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzpjR8EIDB
"And do you really think she would?"987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNXQSs7t2D
I thought about his 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T0meuvMhL
question for a moment. He was right. Some people wouldn't tell the truth987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1B5n9cljm
just to prevent the ones they love from getting hurt. Maybe that's what987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMS0C0Snzd
Zoey did and I was too silly not to have realised it sooner.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XNMypHXhM
"You're right," I said as I looked at my hands on my lap. She wasn't the only one who kept secrets.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvb9EEv4AZ
"Have you tried talking to your brother about this?" I asked.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkkUEeKCt6
"No. He doesn't know that I'm onto him. And knowing how he is, he isn't going to tell me anything."987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaIHJD3GNb
I tapped my fingers on the table and I took the glass of water that was next to me and I drank.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0g0mfVthj
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.987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiYmWEglqn
"Before I go, tell me 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhhsgTJi1h
all you know about what happened in Paris," I said as I looked at 987Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dhGBb6EUj
Derrick, giving him the eye. "And don't leave anything out."
