Have you ever been awake1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbwUJN9qVJ
for so long in your bed with no thought or sign of sleep and your heart1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejt7ZfDcD3
isn't at peace because you're afraid of what's going to happen as the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9lJqJeFM4
day goes on?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99WDLb0Z2Q
That's how I felt right at this moment.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzD38Fjery
I tossed in my bed, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeig0KxZK7
turning to the side and looking towards the curtain. There was still no 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMundn0Kd0i
sign of the sun coming up and I was getting frustrated. I wished the sun1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ9JK7gnoY
could come up so that I could meet my end already.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB6AHJf6wt
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.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kOhmxGWto
I fell back on my bed, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklaHn1uCIn
the back of my head hitting the pillows real hard. I clenched my teeth 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fEFEjLLcc
in irritation. Sunrise felt like forever and I was already tired of 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfqI9KqXZu
sleeping. This had been the third time that I had to wake up and only 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDHut6285c
realise that I had only slept for a few minutes. I wish I could sleep 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTLzmRK3xr
till sunrise, but waking up three times meant I was too bothered in my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi97X8J3dPg
mind even to dream.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzRL260lel
I turned to my other side where my stuffed panda lay beside me and I cuddled it in my arms.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjO1yKbome
How I wish I could fall 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc02JG9tx5N
asleep. I admired Zoey whom I could hear snoring slightly in her sleep. I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVy9XeS7c5
stared up at the dark ceiling trying to picture things in my mind but I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH7IZSgrki
couldn't. Even my imagination wasn't working.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaLe4Uv9ti
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.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeDlo1xNX0
I knew I now had to face1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mKGD0TEiw
the music. And even though we had quite a hectic day yesterday, Zoey 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiszZI95At
hadn't given up on me about what happened with G-Dragon and me. And even1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7X1ibnbVA
though she was tired when we got back, she still hadn't stopped 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGms7CXX4OC
bothering me until she finally gave up and went straight to bed.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh01wsGwE3
I knew her persistence 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OazKo4xpY
was far from over and I had to prepare myself for more of it today. I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWr8Dvd7iI
know Zoey must be very worried about me, but I was more worried about 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nuFWn0asq
her if I had to tell her the truth.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF6AxtVodS
I know sometimes we 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebudkKUKvl
people lie to prevent the others we love and care about from getting 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoyELuM1lm
hurt. But there will come a point in time when you can't keep it to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsauSwGPAa
yourself any longer because the guilt will eat you up inside. Sadly, I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUOSZqxZYX
had now reached that point.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4owK9NueDV
I sighed again as I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWyw8PaKTs
turned again to the other side, taking the panda in my arms with me. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOdzHvEWQr
What wrong did I ever do to be in the position I was in right now?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtWCVh8Dnq
If it came to G-Dragon, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA3OCSgTgn
he was going to be one person who will be difficult to talk to. I know I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXDHjxKfcf
betrayed his trust, and trying to convince him was going to be a whole 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF9DomZlAx
lot harder.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9oXIVVDGs
How was I going to tell 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITlq90KFWJ
him that yes, Daesung and I did kiss, but all of that happened due to a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMa635io60
completely different story? I know how bad he must be feeling and if I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmFpPjEGl9
was in his shoes, I probably wouldn't believe anything I would say 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjfxPFCsd5
either.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG12rnjUGF
I kicked out the bed 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDjBr1Grtz
covers and got up from the bed. And taking Mr Panda with me and my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR8VVWmKvi
phone, I slipped my feet into my bed slippers and walked out of the room1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV6XDHT1Fk
in my purple pyjamas.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhICiPas0N
I went straight for the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jQdIeOuDz
dark, empty lounge and I turned on the lights. I went to sit on the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXZ8L5eM2x
comfortable couch and with my feet up and folded with Mr Panda in my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQESQKKqf7e
arms, I unlocked my phone and went straight to my contacts and called my1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKWiaYo46h
mum.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRX2brhExI
Hopefully, I was calling1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5R8qd4657
her at the right time. I wasn't really sure what time it would be back 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TqhgZFp1L
home in the U.S. I was too bothered to even try and figure out all this 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXlqxLy7T5
time zones nonsense. I just had to talk to someone. And why not my mum?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj2AN74RVQ
I put the phone to my ear hoping she would pick up. I just hope she wasn't busy at work or something.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaetqrC3AEP
She finally picked up the phone on the fourth ring.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rDTGZb124
"Hello, Sam?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQsepgwzia
"Hi, mum."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GZIzjfh9U
"Sam, how are you, dear?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgcZEo6cSE
"I'm good. How are you? Are you at work?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijlyVxWDC8
"Yes, I am, sweetie. I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaIp5f110s
am just looking at photos online on the computer. A friend of mine just 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCKvXIwEgm
told me you guys went out bowling with BigBang."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T0G2XiyBL
"Ah.." I scratched my head. "We did, mum. And we had fun."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d0SqMUmT6
"Ya, I can see you guys 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf4ucDFavj
smiling and laughing on the photos." I could hear clicking in the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bzWZ1cp9R
background and that confirmed that she was tapping away on the mouse of 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEoxiLjL6J
her computer as she looked at the pictures.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9hrDYixQI
"So, was it more like a competition?" she asked. "It's says here that you guys won."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xB7MjyXpg
"It was mum. We won," I said with a smile. "You should have seen what happened. It was awesome."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8xkp8Rmb3
"I'll check out the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRLlDqkj7r
videos later on and see everything for myself, dear," I could hear my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zQIziy1F5
mum clicking quickly on the mouse. "Now tell me. What's bothering you? 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsXU8tNQS0
Why aren't you asleep?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBFfenHSF5
I raised an eyebrow. "You know what time it is here?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGQFIC2b7I
"I'm your mother, Sam. Of course I know what time it is."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA0jgWMuuH
I could imagine my mum 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkpVqDPaN1
with a stern look on her face as she said that. If we weren't talking on1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4XnCIXe8b
the phone and I was standing in front of her, she probably would have 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuYmWJhmyU
her arms folded.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsbSUwZXYu
"I know its way too early in the morning for you to be awake right now," she continued. "What's up?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbwjU4Ut0L
"I feel my whole life has been nothing but a lie, mum," I said as I tugged at Mr Panda's ears.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKoLgAlDa7
"Your name is Samantha Glasson and you're a famous pop star. That my child, is not a lie."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV4A2pRPy3
"Mum, you know what I mean when I say that."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWI9q3Ux6e
She sighed. "What did you lie about this time?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MDHPITuhb
"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."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1MzE4N2i6
"Tell me. I've all the time to listen."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBup9ShN6vh
"I've been lying to Zoey1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapsjRbSd6O
and everyone else about G-Dragon and I, and I don't now how to tell 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7SZM8LBfT
them, especially Zoey since she likes G-Dragon so much. It would crush 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWoZTAt0yr
her if she finds out G-Dragon likes me and not her."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjPGTQxSOO
"I thought you girls weren't supposed to date any one of those guys."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8Bpr9ClEk
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Wow. Collins really does tell you everything, does he?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZhA6uvVuF
"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."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUepmXPlIW
"Trust me, mum, Collins 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6MKVY8I5d
has no clue with what's going on in our private circle and I suggest 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP7XITV2r9
that you shouldn't say a word either."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNrHNb923G
"Is that a threat?" I imagined my mum's eyebrow raised.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnTuWqLVWL
"You know I can never 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAXwj4IkDv
threaten you, mum. It's just for now until we come back home. It's a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBCxsJhy43
matter of life and death. I've no choice."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmsteCiL9I
"I know. But why does Zoey like him?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6cnE32yE2
"Knowing Zoey, you must know by now the kind of guy she would fall for, mum."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkRekMuvdR
"True. But how come she likes him but he likes you? Don't tell me you also like him too."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypBZygB3Ul
"Well....." I hesitated, trying to figure out what to say next.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qgxbs0fYa
"Samantha Glasson," my mum's voice sounded stern now. "Tell me the truth."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcsDL5l7JD
I sighed. "I also like him, mum."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffQtoB8Nvd
There was silence at the other end. Until....1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloqnuD5ky7
"WHAT!"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAWDDAyHjA
"Mum, calm down. It's not what you think."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5HQl1E186
"Then what is it? The 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJXqkn1t8E
way I'm seeing it, you also like him and you feel guilty because you 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fMBIAAMIM
feel like you're betraying your best friend."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU4qwNG0tV
"It was like that at 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC4k0OCdrT
first. I really do like G-Dragon but I'm learning to like him as a close1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanHQ88mqCk
friend because I know how Zoey likes him and because of Collins' 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUspI99uQuo
'golden rule'." I put "golden rule" in quotation marks with my remaining1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvBUhbVLYY
fingers.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxTgfaVNZS
"What do you mean it was like that at first?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEkyTMg9SH
"I like G-Dragon, but he isn't the only one."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzXFQha9NX
"Don't tell me you like someone else from the same group too."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62Bq46AgV7
I closed my eyes as I winced. "Yes, mum."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvhNj42P7w
She didn't say a word. I wondered what she was thinking right now.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDKF3eno4N
"You're really in one hell of a mess, dear."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoYO7S06pz
"And that's not the worst part."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUW7oL8ir6
I told her what happened1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pCaLWWxq2
the day Zoey went missing, making sure I didn't mention the stranger in1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujGYk1mcw9
the suit. I talked about what G-Dragon and I had talked about in the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyFEIabVYS
park and what we agreed upon. Then I told her what happened with Daesung1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90odwhzxR4
and the kiss.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xB87JMCqO
"You kissed?" my mum sounded surprised.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdgvvFM2D4
"Ssh, and listen."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW99YXsNhBp
I told her that G-Dragon and Zoey saw us but they didn't witness the kiss. And I told her what happened afterwards.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhu5XWaCRZ
"You're in a real mess, Sam. You now have two people to tell the truth to."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCRUFy6HXk
"If it's not Zoey and G-Dragon, then it's the entire group."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk27IFWq01
"I know. But you can't lie forever now, can you?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL69KKP1lHE
I thought of what she said. "You're right. We all deserve to know the truth someday."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExxHjlDIBZ
"Are you scared?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldeEwwCv4b
"I am. Maybe that's why I can't fall asleep." I hugged Mr Panda close to me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Wf0pPDaL
"It's okay to be scared, sweetie. And it's good that you decided to come out clean."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYMF5zBEqz
"I don't want people getting hurt because of me." I could now feel tears coming up in my eyes.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6maDJp8spp
"We all get hurt at some1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UTAudwnlo
point in our lives, sweetie. That's why there is a time for everything.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jp5tua2Mm
Just wait and see. After the storm, everything will be back to the way 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEWMDM8qZ3
it was and everyone will forget about it. Besides, no one can stay mad 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2y1QE1GnF
at you forever, Sam. Not even me."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtlcfvJ6ct
I smiled as a tear ran down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnBgOnruho
"Thanks, mum." I sniffed.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vnhmp70nZ
"Don't cry, okay? You're1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmaSHokRYL
a brave girl. Now, do me a favour and get a few minutes of sleep. You 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9rQbPRGbb
will need all the rest you can get."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCeEIZl847
"Yes, mum. I will."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn10DDW3Vy0
"Bye, Sam. Tell me what happens, okay?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDW6Yall1m
"Okay. Bye."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvcIcriqd9
I hang up and I quickly 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhIIs7Q8Cb
got up from the couch with Mr Panda and went back in the room, straight 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTabnITvjv
into the bed covers. I fell asleep in an instant with Mr Panda in my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH16ldqJcx0
arms.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAPk3J5pLk
It must have been some 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdRp353vcN
time around 7:40 when I finally woke up. The sun rays shone brightly 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA4QNITxUI
into the room that I had to shield my eyes with my hand from the light.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8rVyqxcB5
"Wakey! Wakey!" Zoey came over and sat next to me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAchcIGiB9j
"Mmmm." I murmered as I turned around and covered my head with a blanket. "Leave me alone."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq64A3L6ic
"You've to get up, Sam. We have a big day ahead of us."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOSV1mnEDp
"Isn't it a Sunday today?" I asked as I removed the blanket from my head.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf5GL13cD8
"Sadly, it isn't, my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCUr4opbfn
dear kitty," said Zoey as she placed her hand on my head. "Looks like 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcXfdex3xN
you weren't the only one praying for it to be a Sunday."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagNXL6Z0o1
"Okay." I muttered as I sat up on my bed and rubbed away the sleep in my eyes.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUSKzREotQ
"You know you have a lot of explaining to do, right?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1INmkr6pG4
I yawned, then sighed. "I know. You don't have to tell me."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFjKqVrcPN
"So, start talking right now."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkwxV4cIBZ
I looked at Zoey with wide eyes. "You want to talk now?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbQt9vWXZk
"Ya. I'm still really worried about you."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdly595Qzr
Looks like I had no choice. This was it. Time to tell the truth.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQKMMXUCtp
"What I'm about to tell you, is going to crush you completely, Zoey."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQFeUWiVlo
Zoey turned to look at me with a serious look on her face. "What are you saying, Sam? Is it that serious?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCv1XtnW7s
"It really is, and I feel bad that I have to tell you."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxlJbwXbZG
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.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGU8HQoPdt
"Just tell me, Sam. Even if it's going to hurt."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KlappfTaB
I closed my eyes bracing myself for impact. My heart was pounding so hard.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX2TsIGrGC
"It's about G-Dragon and I," I said. "I'm sorry to say this but...."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIOG1HsSfz
"You like him, don't you?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXuYCKQjNJ
I opened my eyes in shock. That wasn't supposed to happen. And what made Zoey say all that?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGI6YzwwZl
"I..uh...no, that's not it."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci5F1qrpSr
Zoey laughed. "Don't worry, Sam. I know how much you also like him. I'm not mad."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJR15VD95m
"Zoey, that wasn't what I...."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxTf0fuYeo
"Expected from me?" Zoey1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHce46GLQEE
grinned as she flipped her hair to the side. "I know, you're surprised.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQzK7nJftM
I like him, you like him, the whole world likes him."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hrPPlgeqx
"Zoey, I..." Zoey placed her index finger on my lips to keep me from talking further.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq3yvqkIHb
"I know you feel guilty 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRclcW6OaO
that you like him because I do too. Don't worry about it, because I know1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdAlCWCOvj
that you wouldn't try to steal him away from me."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbc5poAitQ
I gulped. What was I going to tell her now? How was I going to her that G-Dragon liked me and not her?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqD0CnoIti
"Aren't you worried that G-Dragon might just like someone else and not you?" I asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiCZ0ZoOXF
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."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm5LbREzCC
I wanted to slap my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmedghSzFSV
forehead in frustration but I gave Zoey a weird look instead. I couldn't1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kk3NSkQY8
blame her when you were blindly in love. But I had to stop this before 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3a4VXHJRs
it gets out of hand.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21sAkY9fbO
"Zoey, listen to me," I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4E1ZEjRFl
said as I looked at her in the eye. "I admit that I like G-Dragon, but 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX1UMK2pQI
not in the way you think. You on the other hand, need to know that...."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7UKqBSdVb
I paused. That was odd. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HuCD62C6X
The words were spilling out of my mouth just fine. What's happened now? I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWJjSRoEAh
felt someone had just cast a spell on me and now I was tongue tied.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30YySHBJ4c
Zoey looked at me, irritated that I had stopped talking. "What do I need to know?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ9oQWVWA4
What was wrong with me? I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ELFsjndRQ
had so much confidence when I was talking just now and I still do. But 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFBFVyyu28
now, I couldn't say anything. I opened my mouth to speak, but still 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1zcRn2ZEy
nothing came out. Zoey shook her head.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fD0VZ42F9
"You're weird, Sam," 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRjhwobU0D
Zoey stood up from my bed and went straight for the bathroom. "When you 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XwriMN2R0
finally have the courage to tell me what you wanted to say, I'll be 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKEO4dLIJ2
waiting."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cURDwfsLr
Zoey closed the door and1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiGdEwOp9w
I heard the shower tap turn on. Oh no! I blew it this time and that 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0iWDQIotA
just proves that telling her the truth was going to be a whole lot 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn74m7yrCN1
harder than I thought.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW2s7C2uvd
At least Zoey knew that I once liked G-Dragon, that's if she really took what I said seriously.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqk8CACVy1
This was all so messed up and I felt like I was going nuts.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyMoydtU1O
I stood up from my bed 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74pcCWOb16
and started to pace up and down, thinking. What happened to me a few 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fqaWGQSUe
minutes ago? Why couldn't I tell Zoey the truth? Well, half of it, which1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qnt1nlIAG
is the most important part.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWQCE1zVtM
"It's not your portion to say anything to Zoey. And you know it."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5cXsmPd9V
Whatever my conscious 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfjMLH77dQ
was saying inside my head was true. G-Dragon did say that he will end 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRwmgL1qf0
things with Zoey and tell her the truth. Was that why I was tongue tied 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYqcWTAJEo
and I couldn't say anything? I had no any other reason as to why.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfQqkhP2Dt
If that was the case, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTjHAlOucX
then G-Dragon better do it fast. The earlier it was, the better. Before 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u3C9OQVSY
Zoey really gets too much involved with him or else she would be 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSl4wYeeQJ
shattered completely.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dZfZZ7wvc
While I was trying to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlHlfgRJ7b
figure out what to do next, my phone rang and I went on the bed to reach1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZhCoN2wsz
out for my phone that laid on top of the drawer next to the lamp.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtvNqJTgCR
When I checked the caller ID, I raised an eyebrow. An unknown number. I wonder who it was?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ6VgXbjzY
I answered the call. "Hello?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6IJTaJgNP
"Bonjour, mademoiselle," came a deep husky voice from the phone. The man had a French accent.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EkENes7Yg
I held my breath. That 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIe1q1CWKJ
sent a chill down my spine. Who was this? Dang it! I'm supposed to be 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCmsddR78S
asking that question, not thinking it.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpajuNjzuVq
I cleared my throat. "Hello? May I know who this is?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkSem414en
The man chuckled. "Who I am isn't important. What matters is that we talk."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt8N33QMxk
"Talk? Talk about what?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ChQaJio2
"Did you check the photo I sent you?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV389jybOQ
"Photo? What...?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ8rZ5jE3o
I paused when I realised the photo he was talking about. I had completely forgot about it.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AAN81UGoR
"Oh!" I slapped my forehead. "I never downloaded it to see what it was." I raised an eyebrow. "What's the photo about?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UDWUJpzln
"If you haven't seen it,1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJOgBiRreT
then it's best you see it for yourself. I can't tell you over the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJykcUyufP
phone. When you see it call me or text, will you, sweetheart?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcK6WlEz6p
Sweetheart? What was this guy playing at? What was the photo all about?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYTd51QFkr
"Are you trying to blackmail me with the photo?" I asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDpsUQXQwD
"I wouldn't call it blackmail. But everything would be more interesting if you're involved."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vaJjeTPlV
"If I'm involved? What do you mean?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXllMmHxKtL
I could soon hear the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz2F293YKu
person hanging up and I growled. I looked at my phone like I wanted to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXKoecVyd3
break it. What was going on today? First, I had G-Dragon and Zoey to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm5CEB7QII
handle and now, I had this stranger calling me and making things worse.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDLTwS1AEV
I looked back at my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4QPfkU2Ch
phone and started to go straight to my messages. I checked the message I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWMNNJPbyo
had received from the unknown man and I realised that I still hadn't 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yy9HUZPKQ
downloaded the picture. I switched on my mobile data and started to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1eenoRS6F
download the photo.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbT2D0r7yi
"Sam! Zoey!" Lee came all of the sudden into the room. She almost scared me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GiZa6iJom
"Goodness, Lee!" I held my chest as my heart beat fast. "There is a thing called knocking, you know?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1ZXqYVaza
"I know, I thought you guys were still asleep."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4VNRzOpMT
"No matter," I said. "We're all awake as you can see."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDQGs9rXf4
"Okay. Get ready, we have to leave for the studio."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuucxCDWNXX
I nodded and Lee left. I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MHh5jH0z3
went back to looking at my phone. I frowned. The internet was so slow 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt2jjH7sSb
today. The photo hadn't finished downloading yet.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C5yrr7s6j
"I'm done," said Zoey as she came out of the bathroom in her towel. "You go get ready."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnENmMHEhH
"I just want to see something first," I said as I pointed at my phone.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldlxNs6D85
Zoey walked up to me, took my phone and threw it on her bed.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs33rqPk3Y
"Zoey!"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvsjcLamza
"Not a word, Sam. You're1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29iWQUhHYx
always the one telling me to get ready and be punctual, but you don't 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JJUoyg8lU
want anyone telling you anything. Just go take a shower. I wonder what's1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7JU5h95ZS
up with you today."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoVw2Oq5c6
If only she knew. So 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15yloofDZe
many things were running in my mind that I couldn't seem to focus on one1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1IQYcH4PO
thing because something else would just pop up all of the sudden.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ovSLh9XO4
I went to the bathroom 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgZWI5It9D
and locked the door behind me. Before I could undress and get into the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQiU7IIc6x
shower, I went over to the mirror above the sink and looked at my own 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENvf9lm0if
reflection.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDXLiKcWDH
I looked like I hadn't 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t9tks4IMt
had sleep in days with all the dark circles underneath my eyes. I was 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8nKXp1wpn
deeply troubled, that's for sure. My problems just got increased by one 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdPeEQ3MKa
if not by two.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKWMvUzZXz
G-Dragon and Zoey were 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddIDxVrHL4
my main problem to tackle today. And all of the sudden, an unknown 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiI6w0jv3O
stranger calls and tells me about the photo which I had no idea or clue 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECtgWYex53
about. And why he sent it to me was the most confusing part. If he 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjwGSqTtnH
wasn't blackmailing me, then what was this charade about?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcQAGVy5YO
After I took a quick 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUJRNOGEv7
shower, I quickly went back in the room and I went straight for my phone1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UHZ7Ivf0g
on Zoey's bed. Zoey had already dressed up and she went past me into 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIpIA3L75B
the bathroom to get her makeup done.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2jf5gHsSg
I unlocked my phone. I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsSfi55hjz
was pretty anxious about the photo that even my hands were shaking. The 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadMir6iU5d
photo must be done downloading by now.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKkngq2Sd6
Just as I unlocked the phone, it vibrated. Someone was calling me. Oh no! What now?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uCvmv4OCV
Seungri was calling. What could he probably want to talk to me about this early in the morning?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0RUrO9yjP
"Hello, Seungri?" I answered.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgHuWJ6Mvb
"Morning, my panda," said Seungri.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sfIttyamP
"Morning. How was your night?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0scwEVMKk
"My night was perfect, since I dreamt of you."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQaHsHsu2C
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.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCMymjlGJC
"Oh, wow," I said, trying to act a little surprised. I hope he bought it.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFzjb71zGp
"I've a little something I want to give you when you get to YG."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrg9vJJBSK
I smiled a little. At 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoE37FAfxw
least out of all that was going on, Seungri managed to make me smile, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhUxLkC04Q
which was quiet peculiar because he didn't say anything funny. I was 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUL9B2QFyq
already imagining another huge stuffed panda waiting for me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNCLmH96vr
"Can't wait," I said with a little laugh. "See you."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrUTWrpUAM
"You too."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAspSNLmJ9n
He cut the line and I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKWY7aMfKm
threw my phone on the bed. I decided to dress up first and have my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeXDq2g630
breakfast, before Zoey came back in the room and start to pressurise me 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jXElSo6Ve
again. I had already pissed her enough this morning.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k9b8Yi77x
After I dressed up and 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yk58TV0iQ
Zoey had left for breakfast, I went in the bathroom to get my hair done 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtVB3AvJ7U
and applied a bit of makeup to hide my dark circles. When I was done, I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQE2sBJZ0W
went back in the room and without a thought of making my bed, which I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31As77u7bL
always did, I wore my black pumps, grabbed my phone and went out of the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvy3rY95oH
room.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkPbaAq049
Just as I got into the lounge, I made a bee line to the dining table. Everyone was at the table eating their breakfast.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsLos7VYBJ
"Someone isn't themselves this morning," said Collins as he watched me approach the dining table.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNrfeYOg0T
I knew he was talking about how late I was today. I was usually the earliest to be at the dining table.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAnfJ3lXy4
"Sorry," I said as sat down next to Lee. "I was pretty bummed up, that's why."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjpDSBCdXL
"No pressure, just eat up, we have a lot of work to do today."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqJrMGRxsz
There was a variety of breakfast options today and I decided to take some cereal, which I haven't had in a while.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoOEkodsZx
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.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusHcihIvM7
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.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkxhqTsGYM
I looked at everyone at the table and when they didn't say a word, I shrugged my shoulders.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VZzH4HGx9
"What?" I asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv6NNPV5dj
Mike who sat opposite me cleared his throat. "You're eating cereal."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB28F0PNN8
I frowned. "So?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtzwEe4Y3A
"But there is bacon and eggs with toast," said Daniel.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5oXu3BFlZ
I was still confused. "So?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZGRr658RQ
"You usually don't eat cereal when there is bacon, eggs and toast," said Collins.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXIg2FYxpM
"And cereal is kind of like my thing," said Daniel.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNZwUYqcm4
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?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaDlupsK46
"I don't see the harm in1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q5Q6eFp3B
eating cereal. I have oatmeal whenever I feel like it and that's still 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRHEQPyhbC
cereal," I said. "I just wanted something different for a change. Is 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6XTo6dTas
that wrong?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6wL400y30
Everyone else looked at each other and then they looked back at me, shaking their heads.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDezKzfB0g9
"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."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgom7M1Ng8
"I can see that," said 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoWg4eSn7n
Zoey as she drank from her cup of coffee. I knew she was making fun of 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW80nUDa9u
me but I decided not to say anything.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOuD6CgjBe
When we were done with 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OkbbCq9Cr
breakfast, we headed downstairs in the lobby and the black SUV was 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZC9OhoabA
waiting for us as usual. When we got in, I made sure to take the back 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKAX1yjaW8
seat with my brothers next to the window so that I would avoid people 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrGFToA69l
looking at my phone.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHZM93p5FZ
When everyone in the car1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6vkSsg8pf
was engrossed in some conversation that I had no interest in joining in1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W4yEXxSFh
or listening to, I decided to check my phone. The photo was done 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVxT80iZDS
downloading and what I saw made my mouth drop and my eyes pop.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh0Y6ZJfQM
"What's wrong, Sam?" Mike who sat next to me asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwFNLoEFYm
I quickly pressed the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLCtjhAPNo
power button on the side of the phone and blacked the screen. Mike was 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnhdfYS4Kd
already leaning onto my side to see what was on my phone.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PEDM97dow
"Nothing, just some scary video," I said.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6OnYVXBnM
"May I see?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr72F1mXan
"No. You won't be sleeping for the next two days."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIapGfrjyt
"I've watched horror movies before. I can handle a little scare."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwbEjXvyCp
"No can do, bro," I said as I put my phone into my purse that I had decided to carry with me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAKiaVTf1D
Mike leaned back and folded his arms. "Whatever."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmDooKsP3s
I wish I could tell him 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxkCiRJ5ac
and everyone else what was going on. But at the moment, I felt like 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM2KAf2xGu
keeping everything to myself, not after what I had seen.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklkqkCST0x
Now that I had seen the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHpA1kCgOn
photo, I had to meet up with the stranger and talk about all this. But 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o0Rs2o33l
where to meet the person and when was going to be a hustle. It was 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqdtC9mHbO
pretty obvious that I had to meet him alone.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM99CiSt8xJ
Speaking of which, I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu1xQwo9Ad
still had to convince G-Dragon about telling Zoey the truth. Now how was1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyHg1x6UWN
I going to do that given the little time I had in my hands? We had a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuExG04WXTM
music video to prepare for and we had to start working on the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEIHdoapkD
choreography today. This was hectic. And I knew that if I was pushed 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h0lmSpSLe
further onto the edge, I would burst.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY43ciGgdqs
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.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7BVHgD8hS
My heart skipped a beat.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6tbBWfMep
I swallowed. This was it. G-Dragon was probably with the others waiting1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrGgpYiMV3
for us inside. For a moment, I didn't want to go in. But I had no 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UepOP8GmE
choice.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevIVvggDce
As soon as I stepped out1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPaQgAhPy5
of the vehicle, I took a deep breath as I looked at the entrance. I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtMIqkLGNk
felt like I was about to walk into hell and that frightened me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZBrE5z2LZ
"Are you okay, Sam?" Christine asked as she came to stand in front of me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjIGg6AwU4
"I'm fine," I said. "I just realised that I haven't really thought of any ideas for the music video."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMUL4NGTn4
"You're aren't the only 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiUja0Mpvw
one," Christine said with a smile. "Let's just hope our minds will get 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkahLsPyX2Y
to work on that when we get in there."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBaI3KU0sT
I managed to put up a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdon6L9L9HZ
smile, but I knew my mind wasn't going to be on full throttle today. How1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tlNKNjop3
I wish this wasn't happening to me right now.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vj2b0CSt2
As I came into the lobby1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXunMqBRri
with Christine, we found Collins talking to the receptionist. The rest 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xm7Q42pA3
were heading towards the elevator and we joined them.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SkGDDUwgj
"You will be going up to the dance studio," Collins said as he turned to us. "The others are waiting for you there."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMQzLCG3bO
"Okay," the others responded. I for one felt really jumpy at the moment.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjkyqIhkAp
We all got in the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0toETQpHjL
elevator and Mike was busy talking about some dance moves he had come up1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBk7K4VhlC
with and I wasn't really paying attention though I did get one or two 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7QI6gvOXX
things.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQYVOw3gAf
We got to the dance 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBxZCeCQrI
studio while Lee and Collins decided to go upstairs to meet with Yang 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53efAPVSqq
Hyun-suk. We checked a few dance studios before we finally found them.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHozlA6rjER
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted so enthusiastically as we came in the room.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGoCwMoU5O
I was too lost in 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dbbWwHlib
thought to even reply to the other's greetings until Seungri came up to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO7puzQXIm
me and hugged me. That brought me right back down to earth.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFjEIkHtUi
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Seungri asked, still hugging me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtzW728MkY
"I'm fine," I said, as I pulled myself away.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xgNd9MKDW
"If I know you well, you look pretty occupied in that head of yours," said TOP as he walked up to us.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCEKCG94C0
"Tell me about it," said1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2znMxLMsB
Zoey as she was now on the floor with Daesung standing right beside her1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i8Ztv8pxz
and she was removing her shoes. "She's been weird all morning."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PCMVEvU58
"How weird?" Taeyang asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjZayXIL1e
"Too weird," said Daniel.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVbAzIU24U
"Cut me some slack, guys," I said. I looked at Taeyang. "They are just saying nonsense."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWBpz1RnJA
"Says the person who was so late to wake up today," said Zoey.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEgdIDF9Pz
"And ate sweet cereal for breakfast instead of bacon, eggs and toast," said Christine.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwcEyrmS9T
"And refused to give me her phone to check out what she was watching," said Mike.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnoSj8nrpT
I shrugged. "So? And Mike, seriously? Just over a phone?" I shook my head at my brother.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7Wy0OnsXG
"It's not like you, Sam," said Daniel. "That's all we are trying to say."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkewMXdIPp
I rubbed my forehead. "Look, guys, I'm just a little bummed out because of yesterday. Is that so wrong?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuvTJduN0W
"No, I think something is bothering you," said Zoey, still on the floor.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSrGtPaORC
"I'm fine. Trust me. My mind is pretty tired."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQcXSiq9bf
"Come on, guys, let's not stress her out because of this," said Daesung. "If she says she is tired, then she is."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYRKqLUSIH
Zoey slapped Daesung's leg with her hand and Daesung looked down at her. "Don't try to defend her."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPc0oaQxSO
"I'm not."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtZxCN5OYE
Zoey snickered at him and I knew why. She still remembered the little incident yesterday with Daesung and me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qr0Gippts
"Where is G-Dragon?" Daniel asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WoQNznhyy
I looked around the room and I noticed that GD was the only group member who wasn't here.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xtytrDvz0
"He went to get the choreographer," TOP answered.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZWNtsOInb
"Now, Sam, about your little problem...." said Mike, turning to face me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg17sah00Oi
"Not now, Mike," I said as I folded my arms. "You can attack me later, just not now."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMzL7HDtwC
"Not to worry, my little kitty," said Seungri who stood right behind me. "Maybe this will cheer you up."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIH494BRDB
Before I could turn 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoAyRNEpUH
around to ask what he meant, I felt something settle at the top of my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1K1nV2l1l
head. My hand reached up for whatever it was.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC904oKCT6S
"A lovely crown for the lovely queen of k-pop," said Seungri.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u4PzAduwj
I took the crown from 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70MNbUCCTF
the top of my head to look at it. It looked more like a tiara but it was1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbyw0XymHO
big enough to be called a crown. It was silver and studded around with 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG500WJgxT
what looked like real diamonds. Perched in the middle surrounded by 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPW3ZHico1
diamonds was a sapphire stone in an oval shape.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGsGpEAW3b
"Wait, are these real diamonds?" I asked as I turned to look at Seungri with a surprised look on my face.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcniYFRKxi
"It is," said Seungri 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzeuIdERHo
with a huge smile on his face. "And I know how much you value sapphire 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhAs17pBMX
stones because it's your birth stone."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtwKfvtHqa
"Aww! Thank you so much,1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGZkI7sXjh
Seungri!" I gave him a hug and I couldn't stop smiling. Somehow, I knew1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMk8pPzDLr
he was going to brighten up my day today.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJsndumA2S
"So pretty, let me see," said Christine, as she came and took the crown from my hand. "Wow!"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWLxWCZC7L
"I want to wear it," 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX74NdXNERs
said Zoey as she got up from the floor and rushed to look at the crown. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXHNgYYCpZ
Christine put the crown on Zoey's head.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HT6qMOFCB
"Don't I look like a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLA4I6MJHt
true queen?" Zoey asked as she looked at her reflection through the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsorDnUelF
studio mirrors that lined up the walls of the room.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbS1cQ7KRE
"You look like that evil witch in those fairy tale fantasy movies," said Mike.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAEuzbxnzk
"Haha, very funny," Zoey said as she turned to look at Mike.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg10wsHLZW
"When did you even have the time to get it done, Seungri?" I asked, still a little surprised.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkaBFxTGvt
"I have my way of doing things just to impress you," said Seungri with a corky smile.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuAERgi8OQ
"Thank you. You don't know how much you just made me smile."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKrYV1AwiA
"It can clearly show on your face." Seungri softly pinched my cheek and I blushed.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsEB80t823
"I should get my own crown," said Christine who also wore the crown and was looking at herself in the mirror.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMlRFhbaSG
"May her royal majesty 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZML8KVrE2R
get her crown back?" Taeyang asked as he came behind Christine and took 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8xiGm1eXG
the crown from her head. He came up to me and put the crown on my head.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAJzNVyaAp
"Oh, hail the queen!" Taeyang chanted and I broke into a laugh, playfully hitting him on the shoulder.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jbIXa7Std
"Stop it, will you? You're making me blush," I said, trying to cover my laugh with my hand.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPbE5GwLFG
"You look just like a real queen, Sam," said TOP.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnxXkU5rFG
"Thanks." I was still blushing like crazy.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItBdCRfJ4b
"Let me take a photo," said Daesung, pulling out his phone.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuX2WQPixv
"Ya. The whole world should see the queen of k-pop," said Zoey.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4it5HBWFeS
"Are you really calling me that?" I asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7TLIUrvB9
"We did win last night, didn't we?" Zoey asked. "Of course I'm calling you that."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QvhMmMlJ7
I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't really taking it that seriously. It was nothing but a game."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwRizz4FOi
"A game we won. Cheer up. We are all kings and queens with you."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1vdS4koFN
I looked on at Zoey trying to smile as best as I could, but somehow I couldn't.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAla09QVEvY
She couldn't tell the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzIvWezVL8
look on my face because she didn't even ask. Daesung went ahead and took1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyhxeaJAyz
pictures of me, and then we huddled together as a group to take a group1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLlHcAnWeA
photo with me in the middle.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhput3mnzHf
"Hey, what's going on here?" G-Dragon asked as he came in the room.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGyjiImi15
"Taking photos with the queen," said Daniel.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT00THk6EuS
"The queen?" G-Dragon looked confused until he saw the crown on top of my head. "Oh..."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMhiNxJb0c
"It's pretty, isn't it?" Zoey asked. "You should also get me one."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Gr93I4zS
"I can make a gold one if you want," said G-Dragon.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjerFP9ytMi
Zoey smiled. "Even better."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vQf045bPy
G-Dragon turned to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a5wyQZrOJ
Taeyang. "The choreographer is going to be here any moment now. So I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A5LF8KIE5
suggest we bring out your ideas if you have any. We can start without 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d1HjWD2tK
him and he will find us."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVxNNMc8jX
"Mike told me over the phone earlier that he had some brand ideas," said Taeyang.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnvECIzN35
"Ya, I do," said Mike. "You guys just watch. I have the song in my phone so I'll play it from there."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYDuaGClql
We all stood on one side1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezsZNWKa7E
of the room while Mike took off his jacket and got his phone to search 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxFb8XqZJq
for the track. He gave Daniel to hold the phone and when he positioned 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT5nWfkRIg
himself in the middle of the room and turned to look at us.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRnbIYFHC9
"So, I was thinking, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb7lufyF7w
since G-Dragon and Zoey start the first verse, they should open up the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRYNVXwvAu
dance floor. So, I need someone to act as Zoey so that I could show you 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSpHthj5tF
guys."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJECA9Vl6l
Christine came forward 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAR9g7ieYk
and Mike gave her a few instructions on what to do. She nodded her head 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcIoAfui2T
and Mike told Daniel to press the play button on cue.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U8ko2DRal
With Christine and Mike 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmIdwyAnU3
each facing opposite directions with their backs touching, the music 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoikSlf7wDP
started to play. Still not looking at each other, the two started the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6EeuVZhiP
dance with each of them taking a step forward, breaking the contact 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRFKhB5Vya
between them and then like a powerful force pulling them, they dragged 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0H3VUh3wr
themselves back and they again their backs touched.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmFHoBsSh1
With a bit of skilful 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAf3cWo1dq
footwork, they turned to face each other and with their hands, they drew1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt0fnHDkkM
closer and then skidded away from each other with their hands in the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcOL1dSKww
air.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXZBJbHk7C
"Then you guys will come in through the middle then make a formation in front."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EWkBiqnHy
"That's pretty awesome," said Taeyang.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BkVB0smWU
"Very smart," said G-Dragon.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvfhoXDWUD
"Let's practise that," said Zoey taking G-Dragon's hand and taking him in the middle of the dance floor.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FvOiBkHA0
"I'll take you through the moves," said Mike as he faced them.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiETzM7SJM
"Your brother is a total genius, isn't he?" TOP asked as he stood next to me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgnvv7pyMz
"Ya, he is," I said with a smile.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPfEx02IR7
The door soon opened and1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEHG90FhQW
the person who I guessed was our choreographer walked in. We stopped 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXWRSCAAr1
what we were doing and bowed as he came further in the room.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f8oeoHKO9
"So, I see you guys are already getting started," said the choreographer.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWERGwxXpa
"Yes, we are," said Seungri.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ132ApmKY6t
"Okay, let me see what you have done so far."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7erras2e1
Mike and Christine 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9uHHnpYK1
stepped forward and the music playing on Mikes phone, they did the dance1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbE1GwbLHX
routine. After their hands broke apart, Mike explained how the rest of 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH5IaS4tnt
us will come in the scene.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf35jgl7b3C
"Mmmm," the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2jAfqW0lr
choreographer looked on at Mike as he tapped his chin. For a moment I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CYXelJBr9
thought he was going to say something bad, but he didn't.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY4K1KIjTh
"I like it," said the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPQk4n5oNt
choreographer. "So far, the starting part is brilliant. I wouldn't have 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuFRZkDma9
thought of anything better. Now let's see if Zoey and G-Dragon could 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBGRNXvWsF
quickly work on their moves then we will come to the part when everyone 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjleGz7dkHX
comes in."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyqU9Ya9UJ
Zoey and G-Dragon took 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQTE0SBZUK
to the center and with Mike telling and showing them what to do, they 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jhZVERqCx
did so accordingly. After a few tries, they got the hang of it and they 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjV066srRp
were perfect.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0Vf5JXeeY
"Excellent," said the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNc16zZkCz
choreographer as he stood in front of us. "Now, when they break apart, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggtw7fgHHq
that's when the rest of you guys come in through the space in between 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQfQB9KsMW
them like a doorway. We will come in a straight line and then make a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXigJhiuYzW
formation in front of them."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmDxo1sqth
We did as the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrOwDmXmv9
choreographer said and the next hour, we were practising our hearts out 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7n5Z6gj8h
for the music video. We made a few mistakes here and there, but we got 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z02TlE514
the hang of it.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPInmmh9nvA
A few minutes later, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM0SpdGaZd
most of us were splayed on the floor after the choreographer announced 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bp3ZDnIyC
that we can take a break with some of us with our backs on the floor and1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuIMayeQ9E
staring at the ceiling. Others were seated.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkJLyVAhoY
"This is why I hate dancing," said TOP, laying opposite me staring at the ceiling.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5410x7OSzB
I laughed, also staring 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA3jeA9CDn
at the ceiling. "I love dancing. It just makes you forget about all your1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnILwzQV5bz
problems for a while. It's kind of like sleeping."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHNM6lLPIB
"Ya, true," said Christine who also had her back on the floor and laid a few feet away from me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLVg9osiIv
Speaking of problems, I completely forgot about that French guy.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV3NCCf5d5
I quickly scrambled up 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov9Fas1Luv
from the floor passing Mike and Taeyang who were seated on the floor and1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tYcPjv1cg
still talking about the dance moves. I went to the corner of the room 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnMDDSOzbJ
where we had piled up our shoes and phones and my crown. I got my purse 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMYsbAuRg8
and removed my phone.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWD03IlOhM
I sent a message to the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6NCNUu1Ny
stranger telling him that I had already seen the photo. Thinking that he1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDe0yi8rNj
would reply later on, he repiled in an instant. That was fast. I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz96VoEaYzN
imagined he had been waiting for me to either call or text.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhsPd5YmUy
"Good. We should meet."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpnFcSNCL7
Was this guy serious right now? I was really busy and meeting him didn't sound like a good idea. I texted back.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dlQsEm85d
"I can't see you today. I'm kind of busy."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqHpoF63HY
"But this is a very important issue, Sam."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVm4LjnYT4
Great. He was calling me by name now? How I wished I knew his.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRsOq9qDQ4
I texted, "what happens if I don't meet with you today?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSJNmqQJ4G
"You're one smart 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4zA72WsHz
girl. I don't have to explain because you know what will happen when the1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTGYmvXpBu
whole world sees this. It's today or never. And never comes with 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenthPCkYR6
consequences."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32pSKNm36p
I growled. This guy had put me in a tight corner and I couldn't refuse.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6Pt50cLTL
"Fine. I'll tell you when to meet when I'm done."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Onqg3vg5g
"That's my girl."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5WohbKm5F
I wanted to throw up. I bet this guy was way older than me and him calling me his girl made me nauseous.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw1INFUfuZ
As I tucked my phone 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ64ebZSh46
back into my purse, I looked up and everyone was still resting. Luckily 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX4WVlzLKD
their eyes weren't on me. I went to lay back down with TOP when I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4kOM1Tgcc
realised that Mike and Taeyang weren't the only ones engrossed in their 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s2hJL8Qcm
own conversation. G-Dragon and Zoey were too.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cCEewN3go
I looked at them and unlike the others, they were whispering. I wondered what they were talking about in secret.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2QZ8K5ump
When they both turned to1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeuR7VWqrL
look at me, they quickly looked away again. My face turned pale. Oh, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIMwBcEOrf
no. Were they talking about me? Their look sent me weird vibes and I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyREA65Ol0
couldn't help but feel that they were.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOhrtlTZwK
I laid back down 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qQ4Nad46y
pretending that all was alright. I stared up the ceiling as I thought. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIarrboOIa
Could it be that Zoey was telling G-Dragon about the conversation the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUZ0JpK18Q
two of us had in our room this morning?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTsQpOGkvS
Yikes! If she did, then I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUJhAtxZux
had just made a bigger mess for myself, again. If I'm right, (hoping 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3i8BJbXj7
that I'm wrong) G-Dragon wouldn't like this at all. We agreed that he 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8nn78Clcy
would tell Zoey everything. And just a few hours ago, I had almost told 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UX7KfAFpH
her the whole truth. So much for trying to be honest.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ24Aab0ttY
Still in my own thoughts, the door to the studio opened. Collins, Lee and Yang Hyun-suk came in.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSdmDryaiw
"I see you guys are bummed out," said Collins with a smirk on his face as he looked at each of us.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYnJnaiEcj
"Ya, we are," said Seungri, his back also on the floor.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW7DaG91rF
"Okay, guys, sit up, we have something to tell you," said Yang Hyun-suk.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5wQOUBoTP
Most of us who were on lying on the floor sat up and looked on intently at our managers and Lee.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBlB5d9D0S
"We came up with where we will be shooting the music video," said Yang Hyun-suk.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemHtZCnSdP
"Where?" Christine and Daesung asked at the same time.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR0o5iysgQ
"Caribbean Bay," answered Collins.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNKTvQEqab
"Caribbean Bay?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCBiAvipD4
"It's not the only place we would be shooting the video," said Lee, tilting her head at me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7eEpT1Quz
"But it would be more likely that we would shoot it at Caribbean Bay?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyByUrmFK1
"That's right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Do you think it's a bad idea?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr6icFJg4E
"No. It sounds great."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvnMj5af15
"Well, the song is based on fun," said Zoey. "And we did have fun there."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF5E06GhDI
"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.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AKPHBvsoM
"Haha, that was fun," said Daniel, staring off into space with a smile.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vxyQxHdoI
"So, you finish up the choreography today and then we can start shooting the video on Monday."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrynQOmCsQK
"But can't we meet tomorrow?" I asked. "You know, to perfect the dance and all?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnh3HDZn2d
"I don't think people will like to meet on a Sunday," said Collins.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEz2iqRplT
"True," said Taeyang.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGzdwsmbUT
"Okay," I said, feeling a1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SWkkfSEGg
little disappointed. That meant we had to finish up and perfect the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFqbwrYe9T
dance routine today. And I don't know what time we will be done.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnuRJsZRuq
"Okay, we'll leave you guys," said Yang Hyun-suk.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BZXImxRoy
After the three had 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4ekgRun28
left, we went back to what we were doing, waiting for the choreographer 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dT4Q1fuiQ
to show up because he was coming in with some backup dancers.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPffulANwE
While we waited, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTClS0VgBel
G-Dragon came over to me, his head hovered over my sight as I still laid1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc2AXwRNS3
down on the floor. I looked up at this face and couldn't make up the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaTZlukKsz
expression on his face.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bQjxDwJ1s
"Sam, we need to talk," he said, as he looked down on me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdn7xgmsJr
He sounded serious and I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrBmXGytO8
couldn't say no. I tried not to show that I was scared but I could feel1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZQb7s4Fuv
my body tremble. All I did was nod my head.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kvP8HfbBs
"Let's talk outside," he said and he went ahead of me out of the room.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cJ0YKbCE8
I got up from the floor 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1F7Ci9koZ
and I realised that everyone was looking at me now, obviously wondering 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0831MmIDz1
what was going on. I ignored them and none of them asked anything as I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFW6Fn7AG8
stood up from the floor and walked out of the room.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRWvWAm9VC
I found G-Dragon three 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrBZ6OkCAi
doors down the hall, obviously trying to avoid anyone from listening to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw4wHInxjW
our conversation. I quickly walked up to him with his back facing me. I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBdyV4Zfvu
stopped a few feet away from him taking extra precaution not to be too 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN7hwLBlAg
close.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQNGIKr8M4
"I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" I asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYO1qYgvLt
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.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJrhzLZR5w
"It's about Zoey," he said.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QlQGvvWKH
I gulped. "Zoey must have told you what happened this morning, didn't she?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEUUP888WA
"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?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNplUurSFY
"Sorry, I just.... I couldn't keep lying anymore."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFG6tnE1ws
"Really? That's all you can say?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkHNENCSPx
"Well, it's the truth. And besides, I never told her that you liked me, because I couldn't bring myself to."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz6QdhffAp
"But you almost had."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1S5DKS6Jr
"Yet I couldn't."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN3koPcFdw
"Zoey is right. You're 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOjcUiy7Z4
been acting really weird today. Weird enough to tell her the truth when 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdJjuAg7Aq
you know I was supposed to do it."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR5LFO2zD0
"Well, you were taking too much time and I couldn't help myself seeing the way how angry you were yesterday and now."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOHS5Dz5f2
"And so telling the truth would help solve my anger issue? Or are you jealous of Zoey because she is happy with me?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Inn5wCdom
I paused before I could say, "what?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGgJ2pvnOT
"You heard me loud and 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5rwh19URu
clear, Sam. As though kissing Daesung wasn't enough, you're now trying 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tUDYwV4Tg
to take matters into your own hands."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nwrZ6vQOE
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.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWpLymrfQz
"Wait, that's not true," I said.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H5YZtH81f
"Which one? You kissing Daesung or taking matters into your hands?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUbweWo6XG
I now realised that I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyqvnRNKfN
was stuck. This time I couldn't tell if he was sure that I had kissed 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC76NFbZ5m
Daesung or he was trying to test me to see what I would say to prove his1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn1ssQjB5p
assumption right. But there was no point in hiding now. The truth was 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhfcsndQm7
bound to come up sooner rather than later.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh44gOzu1gM
"Aren't you going to answer? Which one of the two?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxhhloHHdm
I sighed. "You're being ridiculous, GD."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxia8ugGYnn
"But I'm not and you know it." He took a step closer. "Now answer the question. Which one?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBdaSx9NB9
"If you want to hear it, then fine. I did kiss Daesung but it's not what you think."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3N12j7Ucp
G-Dragon took a step 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoQd1AQeXV
back. "I knew it. You tell me you want nothing to do with me and then 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sk842DzmY
you kiss my best friend who is like a brother to me!"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGPOB3nncP
"You wanted the truth, didn't you? You got one! But backstabbing you wasn't what happened."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgheFvhLWkW
"Then what did happen?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUrbI7DP0a
"All of this is nothing 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfHWC2RvkN
but a misunderstanding. I never went back on my word. Things just 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWYkZIlVXB
happened that I myself couldn't control."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiTvREG8tm
"Don't lie to me, Sam."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVnFaBO2bY
"You know what, I'm 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WlW4CnnJX
trying my best here to try and tell you the truth but you're acting like1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSkuYiHLCp
a deaf person blocking my words out. I knew from the very beginning 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2owhirZKR
that I could never be with you nor with Daesung and I have accepted it. I1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9emY3V9v28
talked about that with him yesterday. That's why he kissed me."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwXUIUqY1f
G-Dragon shook his head. "So you're saying that he kissed you and not that you kissed him?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf8tNEFrps
"Yes. But I know you 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoDcCvPllW
won't believe me. Unlike you, at least Daesung realised and accepted it 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kxckUeq2D
for himself that he and I could never be together."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YbVnIHUya
I looked at G-Dragon and I knew I hit the spot. I just hope that what I said would make him understand.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRBkWvNCRN
"The sooner you accept all this, the better it would be for all of us," I said.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgGUL2lX0S
I turned around to head 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTbfVv5LOV
back for the studio. As I walked away, I realised that I wasn't upset or1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoibgNHSRH
angry. I was frustrated and my problems were far from over.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE4Dg9jHcf
When I came back in the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZWaTyL4eO
studio, all eyes were on me as soon as I walked in. I could tell on 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfgZZPQmfj
their faces that they had heard the entire conversation.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr0K3XJxVp
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvft67YOFF
I didn't want to beat around the brush. "No. I'm not."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9ugMYPokh
I came in further into the room and sat down on the floor, not looking at the others.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx3acVD2S8
"You and G-Dragon were arguing," said Zoey as she came to sit down beside me. "Would like to talk about it?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcToM4iyFL
I looked at Zoey. "I'm certainly not the one to tell you what's going on."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrY7mp4Deo
I went back to looking at the floor. My chin rested on my knees and I hugged myself, lost in thought.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1flic8GE34
I heard the door open 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFz8OIYUne
behind me and I knew G-Dragon had come into the room. At the corner of 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiToboev5N
my eye, I could see Zoey turn towards the door.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduUcxE3eW7
"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."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmbIiWne9d
"It's nothing," I heard G-Dragon say.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOILZY3lKzo
"It's nothing? Looking at both of your faces, something did happen," said TOP.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi0nhv3ika
"Look guys," I said as 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tWchvHWoK
quickly stood up from the floor and turned to face them. "Tell me if I'm1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1gaxruLOD
wrong, but you guys heard the entire conversation, right?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgcvrk8Mdy
No one said anything and they had guilty looks on their faces. That settled it.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLu8k5RYc2
"I'm sorry you had to hear all that," I said as I scratched my head. "We shouldn't have been so loud."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOfhuQEkjh
"Why didn't you two tell us all this before?" Seungri asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEZ3LTauKh
I didn't say anything 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltw3bOk8vh
and neither did G-Dragon. We looked at each other and then at the others1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKwbO0plKJ
who were waiting for either of us to say something.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71Jt1cOgXI
Before anyone could 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw1e5xAS6Z
break the silence, the door to the studio opened and the choreographer 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1VFABxLzM
came in with some backup dancers and pretending like nothing happened, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpddyC4xnI
we went back to practising.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNxbY8K0FJ
I don't know how I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkyE2tP8Md
managed to go through the entire dance session without making a mistake.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iWLyOoAND
Not after what happened some minutes ago. Now that everyone knows 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJpJcaXp8P
what's been going on between G-Dragon and I, it was supposed to affect 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFToSLLdqz
me in some way but it didn't. I felt bad, but right now I had to keep my1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY3HORk9kl
head in the real world and not mess things up.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTUwGLQS1s
It was lunch time and 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuZBOFpERD
again we took a break. We were almost done with the dance routine but I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVY0CeEZxo
was so tired, I wondered if I would be able to meet up with the unknown 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHUZRp2KR0
stranger.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwKGFIteew
Now that we were on a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WfUb2PnsR
break, no one said anything to each other even after the choreographer 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KmsL6UfET
left with the backup dancers. As much as I would have loved to say 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhauL7zkzk
something to the others concerning the argument, I couldn't. It was just1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3DgjaMIdq
too awkward for me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKPYuuCA5t
Zoey cleared her throat first. "Mmmm, so are we going to talk about this or are we going to have lunch?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqetpNN7RSi
I looked at Zoey. "You and G-Dragon have a lot to talk about." I then turned to face G-Dragon.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3eFUo9AXg
"Sam's right, Zoey," said G-Dragon.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ubg8Lh7lF
Zoey looked a little downcast as though she knew to expect the worst.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ59U8oUXgb
"Well, you guys can talk if you want," said Seungri, "but I'm hungry."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFg0dIZxzl
"Ya, me too," said Daniel.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fPgCBJ2hz
"We can order a pizza," said Christine.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTAlSA06bN
"Good idea," said Taeyang.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KBqCjpDWd
As though they couldn't 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRZmiNKuIq
stay in the room any longer, the others walked out, leaving Zoey, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84ReHhSPMZ
G-Dragon and I in the room. I couldn't blame them. There was too much 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHegocMyr3
tension going on and I couldn't help to think it was entirely my fault.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ4NxipbWt
A few seconds later, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFUGZxyQ3U
when I knew that the others had gone, I also left the room with my purse1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sisuNv3Dy
and crown without saying a word. Zoey and G-Dragon had a lot of talking1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpDsbgWKrD
to do and I would come back for that later. And while the others had 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8AHoK83Wm
plans for lunch, I had other plans of my own.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlh4GxGITR
As I walked down the empty hall, I called Lee and she picked up immediately.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlqJuSIThQ
"Hey, Sam, why are you calling?" Lee asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq09Spb3e2
"A lot has happened 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFWdDefrwP
today that I need to tell you, Lee," I said, keeping my voice down in 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mjRXc586C
case there were any people snooping around.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCGCfYGRrm
"What? What's happened?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OGQDAmHNc
"Everyone now knows the truth about G-Dragon and I. They heard us arguing."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AK7nMHbbW
I could hear Lee gasp and I pictured her ready to drop and faint. "For real? Oh, gosh, this is bad."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMuLnqM7Xc
"That's not the worst 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv8Pa10iQr
part," I said as I found myself at the end of the hall going down a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v0C6UCvLx
flight of stairs. "A weird guy called me today and I need to meet him."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJg5Jzw3hT
"Huh? What for? Who is this guy?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziUtvBiziD
"Like I said, he is 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ789OrzU3On
weird. Something bad came up and if I don't meet him soon, a lot of us 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZY32lpdYp
are going to be toast especially with the press."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGuauoCBPI
"Is he blackmailing you or something?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDKTwIqDGW
"I'm not sure if I can 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqYPWKXFyr
call it that. But if I'm affected too, then it kind of looks that way. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozOOq5P2oD
Do me a favour and meet me at the back of the building."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNsgExiY75
Lee paused. "Why? You aren't going to meet him, are you?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRSSUeV3nP
"I've no choice and I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo7IN6M8XT
would better do it now because we are going to be here for a while until1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHm3MCI6fM
we are done with the dance routine. Bring me a pair of sunglasses, a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEGafix3Fb
cap and a scarf."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJQl6VROTp
"What will you need that for?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMugYn0drR
"Trust me," I said as stopped on the stairs. I wasn't too sure which floor I was on at the moment.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKUaxoFLGL
"Okay, fine. I'll see where I can get those."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRoJFmOxfh
"Thanks, Lee. Don't tell anyone."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmbgftCI2D
I cut the call and this 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRcR6Nnjts
time, I ran down the stairs with a new found energy. I was tired from 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsaLrV50UW
all the dancing but I had some reasonable ounce of energy left in me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ow82D2rXM
I reached the bottom of 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjPSlWKp4q
the steps. I had reached the ground floor. There was a passage behind 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpqAKrIEC7
the stairs which lead to a door. The back door, I presume. And in front 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHpmVdpGXf
of me was a short passage which lead to the lobby. I could hear a few 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve48n7SMm8
voices that I could recognise.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSQaKmbb9F
I went over to look, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBtqUU2nAk
making sure I had my back against the wall. I took a peek and I saw The 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sCl1eaKGx
Toxins and BigBang in the lobby heading out. They were going out for 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn315MTF4h2
lunch instead of ordering it from here. Before I could turn around and 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMoWSRy44Q
head for the back door, I ended up hearing their conversation.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWAuOpkUbx
"I wish Sam could have told me what was going on," said Christine.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3ZYu4etEk
"How could we have known?" Daesung asked. "Sam and I just talked about it yesterday, but she never mentioned G-Dragon."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cdG2D9SJp
"I'm just surprised that1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuDuiU5iNc
you kissed my sister," said Mike. For some reason, I was surprised that1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJkiwten6N
he wasn't upset like I thought he would.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB7kLLkF5r
"Well, whatever she did that for," said Taeyang, "she will tell us eventually."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PEXewIhyP
"Should we go back for her and see if she would come with us for lunch?" TOP asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp4tRIrrGm
"No, I bet she wants to be alone for a while," said Seungri.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYFRNSLaBO
"I think so too," said 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWtteAu6y8
Daniel. "But just in case, we would order her and the others a takeout. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXTwOLZr3H
Sometimes Sam would starve herself without even realising it."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHLkya12Rm
The next thing I knew, their voices became distant. I peeked again and I saw that they had already walked out of the lobby.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x31zpvu4w
I was expecting them to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLcEty6vIX
be mad and all, but they didn't seem like they were. Maybe they were 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DhgLp2Mfd
just hiding it and they would throw all of their anger on me later on. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPI0zLZXCC
Who knows?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapIHMf0w8r
Throwing that thought 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvOnrD4Aiw
out of my head, I quickly went back down the hall, heading for the back 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NWRCuyopu
door. I hope it wasn't locked. I swung the door and it opened. Lucky me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILjUpCGuUm
Now I had to wait for Lee to show up.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeLFn2nt6M
There were still more 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HKiEwqhD5
vehicles parked at the back of the building. Some of which were delivery1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hLz95lNqd
trucks. I waited for Lee on the slab with my back leaning against the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBBRgUGq7Y
wall. I could hear the sound of the vehicle's engine coming from the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDPu9rU9UK
front and I knew the others were leaving until I heard the noise fade 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHh08Dz9PB
away.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm3hvTwk5c
In what seemed like 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTaL9R8kjz
forever, Lee appeared around the corner of the building with her 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ici94XCbT
handbag. When she spotted me, she quickened her steps.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zkHbAm3TE
"It's about time," I said with my arms folded.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VWjV3yuvA
"Don't act all grumpy on me," said Lee. "So as to let you know, finding what you wanted wasn't all that easy."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNhp9hQgoT
"Okay, thanks," I said as Lee gave me her bag and I gave her my crown and purse to hold. "Hold this."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds6s19D1TT
"Oh, wow!" Lee marvelled as she looked at my crown. "Who gave this to you?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehG09eqORi
"Seungri," I answered as I rummaged through the bag to get the items out.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ss18lElRg
"This is so pretty. These diamonds look so real."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxqkVOmgAQ
"They are," I said as I put the blue baseball cap on.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLEZwYdDR1
"So sweet of him to do this," said Lee. She looked at me. "Are they all still inside?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwuCT7gsEP
"They have gone out for 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBATEiVTo7D
lunch. But Zoey and G-Dragon are talking in the studio. Hopefully things1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsf288DMHT
will work out okay. Though I highly doubt it will."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcNnLM4phV
"Things are really bad, huh?" Lee asked with a sad expression on her face.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTEy3oEde6
"Ya. And they are about 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALBzaw8f5j
to get a whole lot worse. Wish me luck." I put on the sunglasses and the1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vo9stYnag
light scarf around my neck. Lee gave me back my purse.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcpnOsH5gQ
"Okay. Tell me how everything goes," said Lee. "Want me to escort you out of the gate?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdN3OlcYtG
"Ya, that will be a good1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThtIZpLE06
idea," I said. "Leaving me alone would be dangerous and who knows what 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoi7iIJeKvS
the guards might think when they see me."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9zRUbvEfN
Lee and I started to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GoBQL0vIZ
walk and we turned around the corner finding ourselves back at the front1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8t1eDOT9F
parking lot. As we were heading towards the gate, Lee started some 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrGFcAlTPD
random conversation and I played along making sure not to look 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnfqAeIm5d
suspicious in front of the guards who didn't seem to be paying much 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq04bOQagnZ
attention. I made sure that they didn't notice my face.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyiqGDoA6M
When I finally managed 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJrnnNMD9c
to get out of the gate, Lee wished me luck. I nodded my head and walked 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGuEnGK97v
away from the YG gate and down the street.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N3IXaBQ1L
I had to admit, I was so1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3XLzjD3R7
scared. For one reason, I had no idea where I was going since I hadn't 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbszwIVYKfM
fully known the place and this was the first time I had to walk around 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYQnDva5kb
in the streets by myself. Going around alone was too dangerous for me 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTAi5RNL5H
and I was crazy to think I would manage on my own.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb74xBj7nPs
After walking a few 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKaBxfdBjc
blocks away from YG, I reached the crosswords and I stopped at the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dvyMN1dRi
traffic walking sign. I looked around and so far, no one had recognised 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmFGeeWvtG
me under my little disguise. When the robot indicated 'walk' I crossed 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIG9E0DMrx
the road with a few people and got to the other side of the street.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMMniIxvVS
As I walked, passing a shoe shop, I took my phone out from my purse and called the unknown man.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqHBsw52mf
"Ah, you finally called," said the stranger who had answered after the first ring. "I've been waiting."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMelaEZVTt
"Ya, I figured," I said, looking around hoping that no one noticed me but the cap hid my face1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19wqiJ83Yk
pretty well. "I've no idea where to meet you and I'm not so familiar with the place."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLaGFNy3NY
"Not to worry, dear. I already see you. Nice disguise by the way. I can hardly tell it is you under that baseball cap."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2HCDDOtNj
I froze as I soon looked1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLXO1m1aME
left and right and across the street hoping to see him. But I couldn't 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt74qR2WkcA
spot out any French native among the midst of Koreans. Feeling a little 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw1930AsIi
out of place, I figured I might just be the odd one around here too.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm1xbGpD9V
I heard him laugh 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoer7vxPoYC
through the phone and I could tell he was making fun of me. "Not to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cerPzEoMn
worry, Sam. Be careful or you might just blow your cover."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bMEgNbUMT
I gritted my teeth. "Just show yourself. Where are you?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDHQn4llxa
"I'm right here."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZRy5ndn9a
"Right where?" I looked around and still nothing. People walked past me and I got frustrated. "Don't try play games with-"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgKfW6cf2y
My sentence was cut 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkNvoIPOSf
short when down the road, a fancy black shiny Bugatti parked at the edge1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiQzf9mauJ
of the concrete slab right in front of me. I looked on with my mouth 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVTVSRYN9u
agape. I have always admired fancy cars but this was one hell of a ride.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mwworSrJm
A smartly dressed 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYucxicW57c
looking chauffeur came out of the driver's seat and came to my side. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X3KGKLn81
With his white gloved hand, he opened the door to the passenger's seat.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUsJNXA7BE
"You may go in, mademoiselle," said the driver in deep French accent, as he bowed.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HCUbO9AQP
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.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFGgj5vnLC
A few heads turned my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJpjBqOOkL
way and I could only imagine what people must think of a Bugatti and a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6INOHR3Xa6
smartly dressed chauffeur waiting for me to go in. Strange, I suppose 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxFyhCaeUe
and a little suspicious too.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFwmdqWUCS
I managed to awake from 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX8i16AEWM
my slumber and got in the car before people fully start to look at me 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKvqpLjaiL
and figure out who I was. As I got in, a nice car smell wafted in the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPC4dGqHMk
air and into my nostrils. The chauffeur closed the door and went to the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQADHThXtgO
driver's seat.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iJpMaHj9c
"Samantha Glasson, nice to finally meet you at last," came a deep voice.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE6jw2JB5e
With my eyes, I looked 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDUdRReDwj
at the person sitting right beside me in the passenger's seat. For a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu2gTU25Wt
moment, I was scared. But when I looked at the man fully, my face fell.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVG98EtkN2
He looked to be in the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKazf118Bp
same age group as me but maybe two years older. I guessed in my head 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuzokbXTKc
that he must be 24 or 25. He had gorgeous blue eyes like the colour of 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe3deH9pND
the sea and brown short curly hair. His dashing lips were lifted up into1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzSD3FncAW
a smile and under that navy blue suit of his, I could tell he was one 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78AgpMOTbi
who had one heck of a body.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmLxVrHIFy
I hadn't said a word and1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ082V3XugZp
the car started to drive down the road when the young man offered his 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwRZU3uuh1
open hand. I stared at it and noticed a shiny gold Rolex on his left 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPF7vNKvnf
wrist. Who was this guy?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS7vvCqcB4
"Aren't we going to shake hands?" he asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPv067T9SN
I opened my mouth but 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaeVZzNFCj
then closed it again knowing that it was pointless to argue. I took his 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJPwTWSxfg
hand and shook it, scared that I might receive a shocking zap from the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WZhZufJqM
contact.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqOX23dWB4
"And you must be the guy I was talking to over the phone?" I asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8xCfDLmpo
"Yes, a pleasure to meet1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3BMUXZp6A
your acquaintance." He lightly pressed his lips on the back of my palm 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUdXhxprZc
and I blushed as I slowly withdrew my hand.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9LUm3zFtH
"I'm sorry we had to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k2q6nuu0p
meet under such awkward circumstances," he said as he leaned back in the1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctFadeGxwk
fancy leathered seats. "But I needed to talk to you, and fast."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyKCF7hDjk
I looked at him and 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RhM0tqLi9
realised that all his was just too surreal. This wasn't what I was 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc275e8nrHJ
expecting. I was expecting a man much older than me and rafia looking. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuR6WTbfUo
This guy right beside me looked like one of those handsome Greek gods we1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQG4Uj30KV
hear about in mythical tales.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6t7oyak9B
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked with the corner of his lips raised up to a smile.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa8boC38Ew
"I...uh." Yikes! I was 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg1DvuIBgP
caught looking at him. I blushed and turned to face the window beside 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPbVb78HNf
me. "Nothing. This wasn't what I was expecting."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQslLxPecCN
There was silence and I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqzlxjlrvj
didn't want to look at him. He was obviously looking at me and that made1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTwTIn1J7g
me play around with my fingers because I was nervous. Then I realised 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUoOgFOdsg
something.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiMH3gutSK
"You never told me your name," I said as I looked at him. Dang it! I wasn't supposed to look at him.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbtRIEICIo
"Oh, silly me. Where are my manners? I'm Derrick."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpoV9LStNV
"That's a weird name, given that you're French."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcCu8C6F4U
"I was born in the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExGOSDFPm2
States and my parents preferred giving me this name even though they are1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UtzWLrkYZ
both French. I grew up in France almost my whole life and my parents 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIEVShkqrd
are people who like to travel a lot for business. Building their 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfUTA7DjvE
business empire is what's so important to them."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6aUjuYzQQ
"I can clearly see that," I said as I wondrously looked around in the car.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSRMAgbjU2
My expression might have amused him because he chuckled. I blushed as I pushed my glasses further up my nose and folded my arms.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFbu4YdPjb
"This is going to be fun," he said to himself.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D2wsKpiDX
I changed the topic. "About the photo, why did you want to see me?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynOTlP2ISQ
"Can we talk about this over lunch?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUYRRtFIxy
"Lunch?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CRi4iVb3S
"Yes, lunch."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLuI5l2HPY
A moment ago, I wasn't in the mood for lunch. But now that he mentioned it, I was starving.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccTOeu1B53
"Lunch sounds good. But not in the open. I don't want to grab any attention."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW61bU903a
"Of course. I figured you would want that. Given that no one knows where you are anyway."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOp1QwWXYf
I raised an eyebrow at 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ584kNU7VP0
him. "You've been following me the whole time, haven't you? That's how 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdawELpEqk
you have been able to find me on the street."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFUXCP0agN
He gave me that dashing 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvynQ2RKwvB
smile of his. "Of course. I just had to. I knew sooner or later that we 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89dN7B2xTO
would meet. I had to come prepared."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVWGuOFuXR
"That's sounds creepy if you ask me," I said as looked out the window. "So, where are we going?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSypSJLAaOe
"My apartment. It's much safer there."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAj9dlGwMo
"You own an apartment?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLci09LqYhe
"Like I said, my parents travel around for world and South Korea, is one of their favourite spots."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCRN1LmQwT
"So, it's their apartment then and not yours."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqSBAZC1VQ
"They have their own apartment and I have mine."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDJos9BkFx
"Oh." I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNQjZiQmuF
"Here we are now," said Derrick as he looked out of the car window on his side and followed suit.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDE3DFcd75
It was a huge apartment 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzGscpqR0Y
building kind of like the ones famous people live in. The car took a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURJiqfY666
turn and went down the road to an underground parking lot.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cm6dlhhYC
After the car parked, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpvUcVLw5n
the chauffeur quickly came out and opened the car door on Derrick's 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIsrCMcbKm
side. Derrick came out and I followed. Before I could step out of the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmOKFoa7Js
car, Derrick held out his hand to help me out. I took his hand and I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ApkSpWvSU
came out of the car.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHkdjoiAOp
Derrick lead the way, 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt0oGPTkXy
still holding my hand, to the elevator and the chauffeur stayed behind 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjlTptlcXP
with the car as he watched us go. I couldn't help but feel that the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFkYiNbCXM
chauffeur had been smiling at us from the time we got out of the car.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcdUzwfJBh
Derrick pressed the elevator button and when they drew open, we stepped in at the same time.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKdrLSE1zX
When the door closed, I withdrew my hand from his. He pressed the button to his floor and I felt the elevator move.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50ApziVlin
"So, about that photo, I need to know what's going on," I said as stared at the floor.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlFEsSSKRn
"What do you want to know?" Derrick asked. I could feel his eyes on me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXVjgX3WnT
"Everything," I said as I looked at him. "But one thing I don't get is why you're involving me in all this."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFvoI5Egg6
"But don't you want to know what's going on?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwv1vG0e9r
"Well, ya, I do! You're 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi9j1mS1A9
the one who sent me the photo so I'm curious. Do you know what? It was 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdKWSmQv1d
best you didn't send it to me in the first place."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJR2U89wRD
"Why?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC2ILEnHBq
"Maybe then I wouldn't be here."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3n640CHNz
The elevator doors flew 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNRo03oWFD
open and in front of me was a lavishly looking hall. The white painted 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yVjAmcyGe
hall and the bright lighting above made the hall look angelic that if 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eQKpbJsFc
you were to see it for yourself, you would think you had just stepped 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrdPz8q6xL
into heaven.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib5uaEcKWL
I stepped out of the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2a8LLGh5M
elevator and beautiful paintings lined up the walls. I noticed that the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbCdyvWZhg
doors leading to other people's apartments were white doors with fancy 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd6shS1kQz
looking gold plated handles. The floor of the hall was covered with a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZqdkpLMs8
soft red carpet.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCxLPPe98Q
"This place looks nice," I said as I walked down the hall.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW0TiQ3Oz2
"I know," said Derrick as he came up behind me. "My apartment is the door at the end of the hall."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUV6wLnYCM
I looked down the hall 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtnmCYv3uM
and there stood two huge white doors. I walked up to it and just as I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaadegMdy0Q
was about to turn and look at Derrick, the right door flew open and in 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYa1QIQwQ8
front of me stood a smartly dressed butler. It's like he knew I was 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbhSrmey7D
coming.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFK1vU2BVs
"Welcome, mademoiselle," said the butler as he stepped aside and and with his hand, he gestured to come in.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotYWSk7yc7
For a moment, I hesitated. Until I felt Derrick behind me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0fCXA7ahd
"Ladies first," said Derrick.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OdCPveFG1
I gulped and took a step into his apartment.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sVhg0liOO
"This place is very 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cE3kz8XVP
nice," I said when I looked around the foyer and I when turned round the1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6oDtpsYuE
corner, there was lavishly looking sitting room with creamed coloured 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf21IZM7lHN
sofas with a glass coffee table and I huge smart screen TV pinned on the1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNV8uL9Ugu
wall.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaENqGQ5BY
I looked to the other 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPVXbwm7D8
side and there was a fancy looking table with a beautuful chandelier 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTVC2uXra9
above it. Beautiful artistic pictures filled the place and there were 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe9NTHq78c
beautiful flower vases with orchids.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20BIQKpfFb
"I see you like 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOPbkMbpfR
orchids," I said as I went over to the flower vase close to the sitting 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0piB0bHPWH
area and looked at the orchids. They were fresh and lovely.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXvUm10M8l
"I know you like roses," said Derrick as he stared at me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6zj6FtGvz
"Almost everything that celebrities like and don't like are always found on the internet." I rolled my eyes at him.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10XpxJDdrH
"True, but I can tell what a woman likes and doesn't."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05AYHRKtNY
I gave him a smile that showed how impressed I was.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKODuLo9OAA
"Lunch is ready, sir," said the butler. "Should I serve the food?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutG1cEjXWo
"Yes, please," sad Derrick.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmzonx4ak8
The butler bowed and 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c4YaQjiMm
left for the kitchen. I continued to look around and I went over by the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqCPsOT3Nx
windows to look down at the city below. We were so high above the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaXijUBxTZ
ground.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaK2Bvsgc1
"Is it just me or are we on the last floor of this building?" I asked.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2zXb6tQ1I
"We are," said Derrick who came to join me by the window. "This place is lovely, isn't it?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nq2hcJXCl
"Ya, it surly is." I knew he meant Seoul.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR6VBuoXgy
"Food is ready, Master Derrick," came the butler behind us.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44IpTSkj8Y
"Shall we?" Derrick gestured his hand towards the dining table and I walked up to it with him following behind me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcpgaEDdHS
As we got to the dining 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBvT4fRJYp
table, Derrick pushed back a chair for me and I took my seat, removing 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlzbdqdfBM
my glasses and cap putting the glasses in my purse. I said thank you and1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZQdqkhV7g
he sat at the head of the table right next to mine.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne6dADcnj3
The butler had served 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYMnif1hF1
our plates on the table and just by looking at the cutlery and napkins 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcDIt1foHc
laid and folded neatly I couldn't help but feel I was in some kind of 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaJ15mDHDo
fancy fairytale. The table was set to perfection and the wine glasses 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywUpZTXoiW
next to the plates were spotless.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCWEbuCfwg
Dishes of food were 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFek0xht58
lined in the middle of the table and my mouth couldn't help but water. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvIT4Og8Zp
If I wasn't in such an elegant apartment, I would have just dug in and 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLlIOURu4C
started to eat. I was really hungry. But for now, I had to act like a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6VrCQfGz6
lady.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheQPwRJvVT
The butler helped to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfA8636Ron
serve the food and I didn't hesitate eating right there and then. I made1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsXDrz7npV
sure not to eat too much and take my time.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1rMcwAHLV
"This was really good," I said, after I was done with my food.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtJ0svkKdX
"France's finest traditional dishes," said Derrick with a smile.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F1iTCaGdm
"Now, about the issue at1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTM4HrARBR
hand," I said, wiping the corner of my mouth with a napkin as the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBKP8efOaP
butler came to take away my plate and also Derrick's.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZQntstsKG
"Let's talk then," said Derrick.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wcuNWMEdM
"First of all, I need to know why you sent it to me."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7N5RCWnA9
"Because as much as you don't want to get involved, it concerns you more than you can ever imagine."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyjS7Gf8Up
I shook my head as I got my purse and removed my phone. I went to the gallery and checked out the photo.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKK3fPfC0j
"How does this have to do with me?" I asked as I showed him the photo.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKG0xxW0aG
The photo showed Zoey in1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRJi7XR6E3
a some place that looked like a garden or a park and in front of her 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWsu3Yk59A
stood a man I couldn't recognise. His face was hidden because his back 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA76VxJCyN
faced the camera and whoever had taken the photo, took it behind some 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVBnD2b2tT
bushes so it was hard to make out who he was. But there was something 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ55BRUkMq
completely odd about what I saw in the photo.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3a03Bqnxz
"I know this isn't 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKZKMvTTB7
really supposed to concern me," I said as Derrick looked at the photo 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NOWUtrqsl
and then back at me. "Who was Zoey with?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LoN1NXNk3
"That's my brother," Derrick answered.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQVOdEvJU1
Now that was a surprise. Derrick had a brother?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLqgkX3x3h
"Wait? Brother?" I raised an eyebrow.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQncnITyggV
"Sadly, yes," said Derrick clearing his throat.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc4z6KCTYA
I looked at the photo 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GokqBvmLi
again. "So, you're saying that, this happened the time Zoey went to 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxhOw4I6Ja
Paris with G-Dragon and the others? And this person in the photo is your1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQquMqmXIob
brother?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnDpc3nYAr
I still couldn't believe it when Derrick nodded his head at me.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CguW8vq9u
"You never told me you had a brother," I said, looking at Derrick.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJGVxULSfZ
"We don't really get along," said Derrick.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo3y86XB2l
"That figures," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Why?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN6gzTZ35V
"We have been different from each other since we were kids. You can't even tell that he and I are brothers."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6PcUzOB3f
"So, what's do you think he wants with Zoey?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCk2wwCkxJ
"I have no idea but I know it's something serious."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHonluFekYV
"So, you're just assuming all this or what?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1e0LcALYl
"I know my brother very 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkOLoaPZSE
well. I know something is going on between the two of them. I had my 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoojP0s42Bz
suspicions during the Chanel fashion show."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63ZDMi9lhh
I then remembered the 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u0cAw0YSz
time Zoey came back to Korea the following day after the fashion show. 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEZaNJqYP0
She was acting all weird and the way she had hugged me surprised me a 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkBerD8aUD
little. And so did the others. Were these guys really in trouble?1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hPtuciemy
"Are my brothers and Christine involved in this too?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKrJH73DOi
"I can't be too sure. You have to ask them."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMrVZIBIcS
"But that's strange. If 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgZtI2a2ni
it's something so serious as you put it, they would have told me. I 1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3PrXyq79Z
don't see the reason why they would hide."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtWdcaT85P
"If it's anything concerning my brother, I suggest you find out what's going on and fast. I don't like it."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN30lOsLTo
"But what if all this isn't that serious? In fact, what makes you think your brother is that dangerous enough to hurt us?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcl6gZwEos
Derrick leaned back on his chair as he looked at me and I waited for him to answer.1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK4gc2n6aT
"My brother isn't one person to mess around with. He is one person who threatens when things don't go his way."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3dWDJPpru
"You think he is threatening Zoey?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zlVS3mN0o
"He did visit Zoey in that café, didn't he?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjwDuDOjKV
"Wait! That was him?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nKkQgCulM
"Yes. I was there."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyL5uO9dCN
"You were there too?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBofsldSK1b
"Yes. That's when I thought you should help me out with this."1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA7XxXAjC5
"But what if I can't?" I folded my arms1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxSzzPezLM
"Zoey is your best friend, isn't she?"1078Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsukj7o5aLW
