Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 21: At The Mall

Sunday was quiet and 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZLC1HJszH
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR7mIaz7pG
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmcFue5EiO
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y5ONZV5M0
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxEXVnRftx

Last night, Zoey moved 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Atne7H7p
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDEMV3ar3E
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOAHFbcl7h
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmbeONtVSk
talk to her either.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxGNQdkDIB

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfWyaeGgdG

It so happened that 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkGkSmLU1G
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AogvW0ns4
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnu7q8eXQ8
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABy3cwIGPI
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gxKH8k4KW
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOthGTc1rp

Now, I was sitting 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxRpCkZrzV
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEDJj8sfxm
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh8iKUfuUL
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODPadFkTug
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjOSskDSsv

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbklmYjZy7y

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxC6sJ2cF6

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujdjNbnVtj

"You heard me," said Lee looking down on me, with an annoying look on her face. "Are you going to sit here the whole day?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCEUiNvR1x

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxlR7rbkCs

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlsnz6WHRO

"Lee!" I whined, putting1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKberl761H
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ807SNzazVx
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9tsJAsoad

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQpVmHNYLc

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzGwgbpQES

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYJZhDCx2v

"Why? I want to stay here."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gH9tncS0x

"I need to go and shop 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JxisNXNvl
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHVgPI4TWT
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7D06tWSCM

"But watching YouTube 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgv9QtWIrr
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K5KklaD7q
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUEX1eLDBA

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqJKz93fRU

"I think Lee is right, 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoh4A1PiCU
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwpK97cpyL
out on Sundays like you do back home."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKwWZaUNpa

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzYAhXE2pp

"I know you're a fan of 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBdOKGrq28
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpeJzljNlq
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0KowfoR4v

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxLBJ4Gftz

"Well, that's what 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC2F69d3Cx
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWktwDLYd9
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeAFIKNe00

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX0h0xWtj5

"That's what we are 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiBT6rLoO4
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpCDVuUIad
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx5lmgxmUq
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSIpPdzrxw

Daniel's right. I had to1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eRHuHrhND
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWSxNDownY
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjlh3lUbPB
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZzQ75d4ld

Unlike the others, Lee 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqHGKorUUE
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sJm0BEG7W
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWafL3F9iC
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFet6pAqP06
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90HXpxqMfQ
and Zoey together.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRbPZ8moDL

I really wanted to tell 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ650B5mKGts
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgc0IC8qd8
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8BFg33qmh
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Zkvi7jOs
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0PWEoOaUS
When was I ever going to change?1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP27irAEMPx

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh6Sh1xc2P

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl8ylqn0eK

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEOLafajtF

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90phnQoqB3

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnw3zvgaMl

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35cZwCFf2c
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHuNZkdhRg
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wXfK3ZTfe
my room to get my shoes.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb2VbYb5yU

After I wore my white 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCInURJ3G8
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgHELX5eOe
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6eRUoY6w9
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjpxPXI9I4
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHI6Grsz9W
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIDA4mgUzw

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYZTfw8GEb

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuoCMqNJd4

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf2q3MMs9x

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPlskhLEOK

"We can go, now," I told her.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ3dNXAbhD

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19mo6p0fCo

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRWf1pThm1

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSapHvNcRk

I smiled back at him. 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e0vr07QQb
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesZF6Q6C9A
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c2StMyvwW
guards in the other SUV.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlzmWAd8hO

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaGcAjxbuB

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6Wcl3hmLq

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlt5Dy9haz

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzy9WhHtyr

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscoMRypT3i

"To the mall," Lee answered.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HYVQVExKn

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q330woApm

"What's wrong with the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQehxJ7Yrw
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBX9OeKrr3
best plans just come out of the blue."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRqpymbiwZ

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKESCjUGxXC

"And waste the day away? No way."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1JFM6bkcJ

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgdxGwLvX2

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nBxe51WaO

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYNL2kl5nv

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTGw77uDjm

"No. Zoey might have 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aZDyUmmiV
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cDyYhlkKH
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSOEZnJXGM
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzWkIluF7Z

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUbHSxlsa4

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gsIyDD7l3

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHYqLQaWy9

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue5Gs0Awvh

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNVyDTZ00T

"I don't know what to do1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlupNNtXFq
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJxiJCCDMY
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL46ElpkZrX
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16pgMiOmOZ
somehow."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhCiUGx9mt

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OqWPPWvWj

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCbXd7ebp2

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYZ1F8KO3V

I folded my arms as I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuoX30mFY9
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dayEhXiIH
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar7gJiLKmd
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDvaGvqAig
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5EwXPgLh6

We soon reached the mall1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa6Qx1zK0R
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8XtNwDYbN
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dhgj21Orq
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Ldq8Rc0M
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCchzvNnA26
the bodyguards were around.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM19hrONLS2

Lee and I first went 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZkDv6EYLN
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE49QsuKbO
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16BoDOa3Cd
a while. I was having fun.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufmkhljhGu

And when it came to the fans, some were brave enough to go past the guards and come take photos with me and take autographs.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrLCuHD6Jp

Lee and I soon came out 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJhG8xec3j
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGBTX912wl
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mlMsCeS5E
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUceJsNV1o
our bags because we bought way too much.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjhZZ0X1CN

When we walked out of 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL5mQi26vV
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr2ZXJJCax
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyCD6eNRRp
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SE9AQH3pT
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EP6mkzJ8D

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UGEw1t759

I couldn't answer Lee. I1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf67dhmxnJc
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRl5uoqyOK
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcSBFRfasA

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4xUPBJGkJ

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ROMf1cS3w

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNtkt7Z1o8

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WQq6kpak2

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiWLitFJdf

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDHXBliEge

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTyF9A5z6f

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtN0sXAMHI

I looked at each and 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjy7qWDvIC
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMZmeZ7nxJ
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToCQeD4wyp

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCNlCPdq3X

"What?" Lee looked 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvXUdaAE9B
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF4UzYqn2V
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlTeBdAfsi
panda."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h4p4xxDVm

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxdnvILqEg

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PgqAamoT7

"Derrick's brother sent 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6emx26OgI7
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHBPTC0tkQ
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyyikea27B
bear."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjT9SEzkrP

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1rjItCxYL

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNod79FHt2P

"I don't get it though."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH5aobCywM
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBvynfkuzI
so concerned about that small teddy?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIy2QqEXsg

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK39dUHxZh

***1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI7WPTRLX1

Zoey's P.O.V1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkqfFQEWPU

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM36rrTP4Jp

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKCSDDa4tK

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9nOluFKZu

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ74rI9Qpri

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVErTaqVRSD

"You moved out of the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNviCZ4xFm
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhCPBg7dbt
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUIPSeikHl
of alien or something."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdJcINUKyr

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV28aGR0zXE

In a quick flash, a 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePS8yRgBHq
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkShNFVoHGZ
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FqNVnjEYo

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06ZBfu2pyL

"Do you want more of 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwz6r3nPFs
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0fCdm7FCq
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSenZNVOhwk

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2JsFJEAX2

"You got that right." 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2SZOPMMKf
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R8jzZSrYK
ignore her like you're doing forever."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnGW7GbvSd

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzTRLwjccg

"You know that sooner or later you will need her. And besides, she is always going to be around whether you like it or not."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GRDJP6wHS

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvfcT3vmnM

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhmeabTyVK

"It's normal for someone1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79X4xotVBR
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KrTmye9nc
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrTNNrZupP
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0gSeo2HrT
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq4lIL6IyW
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gRMckiwap

I always hated such kind1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBKZfRbaTd
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk8fdkZd1K
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1ZlgFKuna
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzizhJaIUqb
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hDYvL5CF3
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWKpod7lIy
nothing.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LEB5IGpv6

I've never told anyone 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MS4thT7Fa
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhmHy8Jqpi
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSMFp2iZ7d
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Pb0QzNomU
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkXiOrLK6i
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5yyxcNsw2
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtzJMxZFsX

I am Yin and she is 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOeBpg1lZl
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxvWbZ78aJ
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV56KFSECv4
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCSOWVRMaN
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfZzgwZtsH

And now when I needed 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVyDx9Q3lU
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWzt5DkklB
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam2VQTrykO
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbizZn330N
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLChYcqlle9
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaRqFxD3mI

It all begun when I went1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNS1uGCB5T
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG7ZEEzau9
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4DK0HZIfG
this mess.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKmBtkOcaQ

We were having so much 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa1hHZOZCJ
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGJspbUSyN
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe3q9xqUOB
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpELxleLAx2
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8t262xOZQ
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApQCyeoXcF
things did go wrong.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbmvHG7xqt

As we were watching the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWukalSMf5
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhOeKscyrl
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5hUbOvxMc
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF04lCFqahK

When I looked at him, he1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSxNY2chvv
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvk5um4X1c
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe06OA0cPPK
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOCWtatbf4
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG4Rlr08J3
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcp0syyEvs

After the show when 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvtPlDqcgZ
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrOCliV2Zg
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOKgdCmjJV
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil6ihp5O2P
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT6w4cFADI
take a few minutes.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6Cl3jx3oJ

I didn't find anything 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA8UYaJlkJ
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmIglaRns6
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jIv1bEVqj
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFUQbgRYjx
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgBK06ZMNg
too much.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfZcMGZXD2

Jehan led the way out 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagtLSJ0Wjr
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMmfcdw7pw
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeEyIlHZ1F
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBihmfOE6I
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNykoogwdZ
that I felt a little safe.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnprDOAoKtU

The two of us soon found1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9KfRkUwkh
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WCjZ4EEUG
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewp5nv03n9
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BLyfFLl4s
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqstQViCJdw
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKta6f5eNr
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtuP1csweD
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NLixtvGKz
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJefwkVdlB
menacing.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxaOktaGoi

He gave me something for1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNO5BqyEZo
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2LExNpOAw
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c9wW73g0Y
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w1SMHXgXe
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE0LP6WJGn
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdhCieMcF4
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbbJeKiDJM

Whatever he sent me that1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlST5iwAYf
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnEd5BeSvG
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4YkUFHqlX
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHd8GIs3IY
happened yesterday.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl0VqLBft0

I had never been in this1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY53XzOaMyU
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHijAYfRaZT
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzdUCZ3FWA
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZWMFvtnaH
crying out loud. I had to do something.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGQBKZwd4x

My phone rang bringing 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPZKTTGbUI
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwwt7wi4Ep
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTCoo284Is
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8Uv3aKL52

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy7AtGJX4i

"I...uh, ya, I will," I said as I picked up the phone and answered the call. I could already feel myself starting to sweat.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpOohypXqS

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahnsFoVgws

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2lcH3MINO

I would have told him to1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6uwccMcTr
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxpkRX5OJM
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62wWMmH4Rt

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDLg07mcZq

"Looks like you aren't 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfCIi4gpiU
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDjXTpHwRb
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTARLkRF9Q

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSOeLzYypw

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAOFuHIXqR

"Just get to the point, 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSESERIhKKD
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvKvQuoHGR
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq18XRECNw

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC188HwVkS

"Today? Are you serious?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8YRlrnPCn

"You know that I am. We meet today."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNhmZqlgjm

"But where?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFrHG9Qxly

"At the mall."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBFPEenviD

For a moment I almost 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6EBTT73pg
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5bAlS64VI
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfKyCtc4Ue
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMn0O9aAzY
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG0GxaLgkt

"What's so funny?" Jehan1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvmxblU7Gq
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbE7N9zThJ
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGt5JfGWUm
myself.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6e3mkJzKB

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w6EmsRMUl

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbZr2YocXT

If he thought saying 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgL3wpsa53
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K01D6Xx8c
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGNH1NxnHy

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BBwyl9QRy

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArdxW09gba

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5M4amDRcs

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAGwU5nnnj

"Ya, sure."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZT3a6BIsk

Jehan didn't say 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXNav90ayW
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWgmEGa3nd
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSSD0EQW9J
Typical.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdvpzT956r

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlYnkud1Zq

"Oh, it was Seungri," I lied. "He wanted to see if I was free right now so that the two of us could hang out."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLImFrfRPfl

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYrR9iIcL3

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuVJB5j5gn

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjTLJdDuud

"Why? You think I would?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi6NISBVVC

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfLRvFbsCU

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJoTE8pTPQ

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNHLBoPJXA

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeR4Lb5hkm

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd8Bm0qibJ

"That one. Where is it?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghzgWQQhGV

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd2nu3lO11

"I just want to ask if it's still around. That's all. I hadn't seen it ever since we went bowling that other day."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0OoXnQNnL

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtOib2NrRB

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXQxCTgmxN

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvdpD8kE3K

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooQFTjdaH6

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlcHrlNnT8

I quietly went over to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZYIuNAAk2
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJXNxzJpcm
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg0Mgqr3bC
soon.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6rnTuhcVZ

I came to the drawer 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvjFkl3TWt
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4vh7SLl1r
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4FWOYBF2x

I looked at her bed and 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bF2Cd0uiw
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO3rRMcrOt
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEzN01SGFH

"There you are," I said softly as I took the teddy. "I think it's now time for you to leave once and for all."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbVcEZrUsr

I heard the tap in the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnZAmbhm44
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfzpTN5Ecw
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjiGxbT1G2
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdniTcZ4Yz
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqfNKIUltq

***1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql4QYVA4vX

Sam's P.O.V1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWOEfdaOE4

"Do you really think 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIjgFedKK9
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEFVIqemt4
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVft6UUX2Lo

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjGgZxivXh

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPkrnqNcKQ

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia8fT34at5

"I hope it's not drugs."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHVJaiNkD8

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn28da93W9

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YbNzgXNuA

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAffQ8orx9

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwom5DI0RF

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NmCDvYLRh

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpcIvI84d8

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cRnctOGFA

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnilF0n12fg

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPpf3lOFKV

"Zoey."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXVcPvDJjN

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePDpGieHxM
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogW0yvpufn
they couldn't because of our little fight."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoCSmMzfPU

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxfc681ZmK
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0e0qXMc0v
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiAnMof6Pj

I raised an eyebrow at 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5ivU3cw6N
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PmtqYzPyG
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFM9Ds5TYt

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8SJFX9tPi
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S9sklCctH
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMe7l82pVu
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXMF0dkMz6

"About what?" Lee asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNarTsWQk3F

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTkO0BVNNd

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHOOxOEywH

"But today might be the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86Ga0d18tR
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61ugXRRNjU
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uvePOUsSA

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPCNzgnjum

My heart rate quickened 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSYPQnM76W
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fEL01mZfn
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZdHGyHFm1

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9Y2UPIdKk

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPjoqIYq15

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr3ugY96T7

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD2OKO4bnD

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeVlMjMVxG

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO7RGWD0Rk

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfPS62QFbT

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3spAD9p4T

"Alright, thanks, 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW8tEspwSG
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpdE5TifCe
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz52xaV3ik
Seungri."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XPhbmfqxa

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHkxIbc3pu

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtH6mWW7CX

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK5EOqxFh3

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKg38NyNK1

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMTmmwnLnd

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cKevKJmij

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvOIrkE4BI

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCexeUUXZt9

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXCeT5xs0w

"Yes, I am." I could 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWV2zuU6hB
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGlqA587D9
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym566e3LXl
perhaps?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0seaF0j5vL

I rolled my eyes and as 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGIyfoGHI8
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirJy1KQXcf
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM3Xf7y7xK
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNT6k1VZtK

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbJBnJrJCs

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmFA7Js95j

I bit my lower lip and 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlKxNWTzdw
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeJXn8r6mr
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOH5mUXyvH

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JvWV3hVb6

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4fngs7pdb

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgLgL1caLx

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJDKlQMZFG

"Bye."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoANBgDqCE

"Bye, my little kitty."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cJL2QwmoJ

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv28wPzmhCL

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKypM17d0M1

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZhHTMK8Gu

"Nope. And he isn't 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMownU9g4T
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC6ROX9kcd
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYf7ByuklZ

"Oh." Lee took her smoothie and sucked on the straw. "Umm, what are we going to do now? We have to know where Zoey is."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCuztPHLvy

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRhslbuiHQ

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsfsYuCGjk

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsu0s7ijHOw

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX2YKiJw5P

"Tell me about it." I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k1htOf19h
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXoclv48vo
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0iK8jpWeT

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub3quE7i54

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheaCVRAjY7

After we were done with 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLRdevG9ky
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKxRufSUYI
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS4KDbH8rg

As soon as we walked out1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoaCPbNsvL
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmozZrFH8G
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga67oGFKDw
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjZbfrkeCg
looking black suit stepped out.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPwRBFuGIg

Time seemed to have 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD5uw5e7AG
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFXCzPJLbE
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJcfr6BWhG
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVaawRuU0o
something familiar about him.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2TFMd0qo1

Just as I was about to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXEX8uN6vV
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhMMLBtPMi
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZxUlH2y81

I almost tripped and 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxPWH3S3Yd
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8qzn90p2x
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aC3gyozwB
me from falling.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bTZ1cZsFE

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPuq3ZN7xG

I didn't say a word as I1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6Weh8Uu4F
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW2A1UZzWB
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwam5PdIbK2

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9918biuw7

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb5hxItvF8

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2Ty0VQOb0

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pSKi9i5H3

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJIm3ZNCVh

Narrator's P.O.V1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qu2csVSHZ

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbF0kwih0H

"Hey guys, am here," 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRHYwRU1Gv
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNc70qgpXq
look downcast as though someone's just died."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwMlVCfdqA

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03ZowuBTJ7

"This is getting real 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs8lhAUsVD
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy7J0BCdSs
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnBnvjchcb
her or with anyone of you."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvYLvwNeh5

"No, I think now is the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvEN34VQdv
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgHbBo4kuG
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZFN2eL2De

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh7bkQ7hrd

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorvscO4Nx1

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNv3nuPu9C

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2PfRd3er4

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLLTCssDCw

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANIFwVCrYR

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qembJVdLa

The others rolled their 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d6CH1vyZe
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaZsbDo8X2
around and now wasn't the time for it.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kHK8h5kiz

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKQZdpDsvK

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uKraJQ8ph

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JUlULmO3F

"Well, maybe," said 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKn1inNXuv
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshVtJ3Ge2s
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhjtTW4w6w
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp4cnxWl7v

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCYSKcqpAf

"When I saw Daesung and 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQkbqueTJt
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWmM2TsQAJ
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c5Xx280Tp

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVoPj5QSCE

G-Dragon didn't answer 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc58GGoQ83o
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhFsfvudyH
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMFlYr3nHv

"Oh, I get it now," said Seungri, as he looked up at the ceiling. "But I see no reason why Sam could be in the wrong here."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFetpCSEuYJ

"What do you mean?" 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1PmNUatJS
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHjkZ5O7RA
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo0Bb5ZWqy

"She was just doing that1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKH69PWrXr
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w91D9Byow
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK18EWuf2l
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8vKl76L7j
be together."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC21fjzA9pw

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiaY8go5x0

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtvFBqzKwz

All the four BigBang 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSabXrpXqyf
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhZKPxVzWY
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHWgXTaUV8
heard him come in.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL0cG8gLk4

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsADv7n3bck

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BFePthKdt

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHRR1vI3Om

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuxZYZEH9t

"I'm not going to stay 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH7M6o12Zl
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpOq6gkwM4
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0HU8X5efM

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv3d5fFcZr

"No, I don't."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5peeh4g6e

Before G-Dragon could 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmVJaBZbYC
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7QEVVYRkN
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh25mD6E60i

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB7wlhHMeI

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNJvT62AIF

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uaKojkYIP

G-Dragon folded his arms1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi4jKf6MtM
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQCFwvzzGy
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vtljf81S1
stared at the ceiling.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1GD0QqywC

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpHj29FSys

Daesung came into the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC1fJBvnRE
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUAsPtc3jb
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xn5bHXFIE

"Look, I know you're 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncMWXPAw2s
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKKCWgHcJQ
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CQHIuXvEZ
never told me anything either."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDZ8ef2amQ

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF06mioAIOI

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9yIF30Vtx

"Why?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KGW3TbPNG

"She just felt like it 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7qPbpy1Ot
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFAxuFyCaH
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxqUCS8UF1
long distance relationships will ever work out."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SWxqy6sGg

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu570hcwRf

"Because I know I'll 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJhsBbhFWz
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YH3KTIaFj
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Bb6WIRFs
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM5k9m0XUA
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzd8MqFD1N
want to hurt anyone either.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes7RCzdeLg

"Maybe that's why she 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXLjpNNX5B
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2zLlv77TN
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktBoeUPSdk
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYSl87LAYI

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gxiu0BdVQ

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZXJJNQwHL

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYrA5uVGA7

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqo7lwo3Ez

"I know."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCaffkQ8ES

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9mcwW1X9E

"I'll think about it."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieKM8fa63l

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwKgWtrrzL
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m9oQOM4Vz
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq10qYw35a
the mall."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMMmxl4PSa

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSWYdU1k4u

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA5zOzGQY7

"Ya," said Seungri, 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GAGPdedGe
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfV5t0ovo2
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFWBo1Bjh8

"No way! I'm not going to the mall," said G-Dragon. "What am I going to say? I need more time to think about it."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzvGipFYP2

"There is no time to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nY6qJUpcM
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2TozQc5wn
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm1sJoz0Qx

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsQyT5psJm

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTX1nwWm5V

"We're your best 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl54JAlVJeS
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqpjaZyO10
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKR0rsL9ul

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhIGi0VpQF

Zoey's P.O.V1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OrDhUKSlx

I came out of the black 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AHgcKLsZq
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLhKSi0Ztt
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1jFMXcEZt
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0APFr5ftQl
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDKT6UWvTh
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhAHcD5OUT
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRVqW35ZTm
by my fans.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuogwRWwkyc

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDpjPA1CqK

"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVlBNb2VHd

"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xI226Enk3

"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g8o6Ik2ri

"Okay."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX8jyoMsDg

"Did you bring what I asked for?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nGJy6AvUn

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuf20EqbCX

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGWiPnNwwU

"Well, I'm glad you 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyXqw8NWlb
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOrq2Aby2s
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9u3TcRcI1
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfOC738fCC
lot smarter than you think."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLTKe2FHCS

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuag3RWWtX

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq7b0fqSkM
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBvfc9Zkbn
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01sIswOiLl

When I went into the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs8EQJLxuE
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P9WeX648t
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMqEJKR7ex

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH88lOWaukC

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ5hAVMFC4

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6E0vZNULU

I shivered. Despite his 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImbPEoo7Ij
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h3cpg4F5r
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GNpqSpQpp
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnrrG9JKBv
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv07l1RaHA

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RnsaMFYMq

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOGZek1qqM

"Why do you need to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfHIG8wegw
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcVDyvtSmf
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnYygoKzC1

"Well, I need to know 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfPvZXAifs
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlMnw26kSC
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPfftW02Xl

"And tell me, why should1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xxENjLqaf
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbBCWyHdPi
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTCgLwd0Pr
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxk9E6SxVO
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh3RhLsn2h

"I...eh..." I looked him1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92jpTJ46vw
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYSgtPGjHY
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2Q9pKhLur
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2l4ytwilQ
the kind who would send such a thing."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPTVn6BURK

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jkcO3PvLK
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy9WIfJ4iJ
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOu2X15GyA

"I don't know." I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCSz3PtYPf
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZJN4BpYUd
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg02zGx2vII
up to?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNcTqVGhV6

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSpUcWeGf2

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbgYqYx6Vw

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYveitLJ9q4

"What's the matter with that?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEsU8ldubv

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbdhTLnRKL

"Don't test my patience,1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqarmSzpO0
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjo919006C
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW8RBzdO5C
think you deserve to you know."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdBLkh7bWI

"Well, yes, I do."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVLLZ5M4AE

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QISScufy6

***1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnW8gKM7LM

Sam's P.O.V1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbskUfbRiVu

I could see Zoey from 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2KyDND0aZ
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0C62MJeuE
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEysNyiriRr
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF4QjvXIbR
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CkZBQi167

I was entirely grateful 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS97jRzgYbG
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w4rBrQZBK
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIP2syrp04
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Py07T243I
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL0Njfxl13
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcFWTBN1km
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtE4RR0buV

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N94d8dXnC

"Believe me, he is," I said as I looked at a nice beige top on a hanger and then took a brief glance out the window.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggz9gkcxe5

"But how did you know 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYY4vS6jVW
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoExPTNaM7
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcXApcmxzF

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A5I3JDtd3

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZEWBVhmn9

"Well, ya," I said as I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJc0stP6is
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonXsta3GLl
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuO88r4eSE
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX03JobOhta

Lee turned to the window1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqgLQxmT2V
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZXH0OoFDR
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw6xqSDkaY

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIjvvo659T

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0P9x7ijqi

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVPPm6Q25f

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVg4adquJj

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQhV3Y30QB

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mqKVZnRuv

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsv8EstmWU

We made sure to keep a 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJLZKTDnxz
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7dJfoZFjj
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyx5SQf6a9
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDtQIvhTaf
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zkp36W4Rk

They went down the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3ZWtE7f7w
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnvkmH6wes
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3FOEgqQvf
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8nZmlocAZ

They were led by a 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEWp33BJtk
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWqHVIgsHL
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPReUvKMIGG
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYXN1xDvgb
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1kIu3tlBP
restaurant.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4KKRTqcka

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR6EINSSOd

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjax8ueOdr

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpGcSQqGYt

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18KEwvXcOY

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrFkHjSX1U

"Me neither. But what to1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBVJu546OL
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwGepGC6Dd
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OVpLwqxR3

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0sRVEdrQi

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxciMN83jSW

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcudksMgyMR

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlqiuy74qt

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPEjqvzgFk

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFSJvnD7Xk

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCleIZINDS

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTZCJSoVac

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQrd0I6l3j

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluoTdIMIIz

"Don't worry. Seungri 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YJrwjVkOq
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6mRUAX08s
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj1XLO8uIG
and she will know something fishy is going on."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWMmE4OsWz

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrbHjYSN5w

"I hope so too."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHkLnWyc4Z

***1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjLbURksMb

Zoey's P.O.V1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd1j2her8x

I looked at the menu and1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG19VTnA1bg
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AaeapenmT
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8iEa07YML
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2rehwOSld
looked up at me.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBpXlS7JsH

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vM7cXsH7k

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv4nu9IW0N

"Why?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz88jmHaJ7

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuckMxo0qWm

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjINstdkLS

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jBL1qcN4H

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwsAElJkF4

"What?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqOKXUAkCR

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmivyGG04p0

"I'll try not to next 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqTyiljLMt
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNofRkkswx0
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjBaTPZnBA

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguiOwzkpdq

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYGqJ4s78s

"Not tell anyone."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufAMomrTEU

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgtghJodmT

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4wk00slr8

"I smuggle diamonds."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8gtSEo6TG

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkW5y6DKUF

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL64355e2G

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kePSgSz08

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qOJACMhAB

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRwPPDDwzU

The waiter came with our1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJWCbtjifO
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkVHpUkMW6
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx34SMScdi

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnKYvl4R2N

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eh0JyhSX7

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg3Ob1VgiZ

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3joa5Tblf

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5jDJBb4sc

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7bD8nvt29

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4htQ3ILiX0

"Is that why you're so rich?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZhRjFT87W

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5cRI7KG3P

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzenlIdgLQg

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosjcfSjTSP

I gulped. He was giving 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVutShea3o5
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQSLBgTiFX

Sam's P.O.V1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseBkX0PrXn

I was waiting by the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhTcyBeWH4
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzzXKqOlmd
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b26mPRbRV
car? What was he doing here?1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxqUeCT6bH

Seungri came out of the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDDDgcW2Vp
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2oUnyMl9B
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMuyHALyY6
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpVGIca9Le
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptxTDx5xzz
what I was expecting.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wWKch099g

I trembled. What am I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQzMJBv1St
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Lb92Jr9o
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEanxXd4QJ
give Mr Teddy away.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegANL7zNTy

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElXKtZSEB9

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2FtiFZfhE

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sqSA00rpc

"I, no....I," I didn't 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9fsrFYEfN
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRj3FbWzCI
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnITIWdNrC

"I was only expecting 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7cRa6t4mQ
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLnFfZ1jdf
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwPDBTUtmB
seeing the two of them together.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vbOEc1jGZ

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf31Hl8pmt

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbaN3tqsMy

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz6gq7hmsh

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LQjB4LJkz

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTC4T6EAi6

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBkoSTWVaG

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJdm9i63yn

"Come with me," I said 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPOHqJgFsz
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QLCoEsic6
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8an7ox1UEO
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidFjsj0jFE

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN59P55dh8

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2vGvUGqKc

"Hi, guys. You're 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIMhcpq3ie
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDe3zn6A8O
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3cYK56CUE

"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ3tbuMXCL

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCssMZdXmFf

I could feel Lee's eyes on me and I could tell she was scared of telling them the truth. So, I had to do the talking.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKhh8pXTes

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Czezvp6d

The five BigBang members all nodded their heads.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9IS4WIyBO

"Well, if you look into 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08J3bA0CrU
that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiuagFjpkF
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WM8Orl4yU

look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQa3JRNx9Q
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDZJFrCTVu
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xFHFjG7H6

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVojBN1Vu9

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbcFcGBTZ2

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLnZtAyjTQ

"Yes, I do," said G-Dragon looking through the glass window. "We met him at the fashion show. I'm surprised why he is here."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0SZaDs85P

"We were also wondering 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMmX6fO4cB
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcBOF2tq2n
them, but decided that I would rather not."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3UTh33rYU

"Why?" Daesung asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdy9Mvw44o

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktnuPmbsgw
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6xE33TFT6
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6TNnUYK28
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHeYEhF27I

"Aww, so sweet of you to think I could solve that out for you, my little kitty," said Seungri with a smile on his face.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE1PrKTSp8

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxE16ZbIK0
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttOrwLOcIA
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF10ksIbgO

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuFfO2rV4f

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhxKX9mvlO

Everyone turned to look 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3kY9CSst3
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL5fromDGy
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPchDUFBrg
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1ra9FOpV1

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4BF52eXH9

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvBBdSIYBh

"Here you're now 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6GaEUSKNH
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY31PL9EtIL
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLz01ZCAsJ

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqARKFo5Sx

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHGj4aIv8Q
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nyvwaL4L6
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRiVQwA6MY
something, quick.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oIDd1LFuA

"Okay, fine, we will 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagzcdiJpPm
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJJFrGpief
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxzcHuZXse

Yes. Finally. I thought 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDeVjxvISp
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpHDiEEoJs
everything was going to be delayed.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UpzBkdM6u

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF3MQOc4rw

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgURPr3OXtg

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA76nSEiJX

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsnx4BFYRM

As much as I wanted to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64HCwBeWiE
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW2zIrG3tv
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN5IynIvF8

***1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci4HIub0EI

Zoey's P.O.V1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHDk418CEM

As much as I tried to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yLlEkNzqQ
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ625GEPjPY6
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GBRHr5GNX
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7l9Fe9qAT
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0IJOFpeRW

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbazESq1es

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEJjj218ex

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpUhDtdyg1

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqERsz2vTK

"Looks like you're getting all worked up for nothing, Zoey." Jehan got a napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JRFoulkwG

"What do you want me to 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCrBCII3iq
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE3ff4gatL
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NPSeVsBwH
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O1lbP1Bw1

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjEUokZ4rj

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOENzdcQRq3

Jehan shook his head and1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NCh5JPabv
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHJpKe8Flz
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC6Tjw0VMZ
annoying."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFOICD56Fw

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOJADIuB5e

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3A3vsEAB4

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CSUvHixPf

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lbPqs4Sx3

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEnBjsm1BQ

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY6WuRNIga

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRNu2AuFzT

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtXgVdVLBq

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvd6fJbt3s

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv5SUQ2Mjj

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4tIiH2RDD

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjszNdaZEVo

"Yes, for real."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRwfYEZ5Bx

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBOrrJbq8H

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx8bVlyygk
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8r4HSUMts
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8xTMh191L

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMbQ5QP1z4

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUNxbP3DZW

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMPtefJKGR

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhKd11MuJP

I took a deep breath. This was it. Once I give him the teddy, it will all be over and I can finally be in peace.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2omItyRnz

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7oZcX4A9P

"Zoey, hey!"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEEphrcUhV

Seungri? I quickly 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv9iFCIb6D
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZINUhAohM
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQondo7AKCi
here?1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBvzTK81t9

They came over to our 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX7abPzCGL
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPO5zSLTcz
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTDg4Z75nb
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGRmoBHV8R
to do now?1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vysxvw085

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygbPFpD18R

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2vvTuhfhq

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVNhYdeTwX

"Jehan."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRfuAox2eW

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwXRsdgQ0q

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwMUXFyVNi

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq93yunbLc

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc1aUGCjW4

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ6caxBDrX

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tlSAwTuaM

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcM198pG9J

I almost spit out the 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4EYf8cMZd
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9iPUz43Mu
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu14q5p2tlA
to water.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmFW4c5uUX

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJiYnJUlh7

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua176iyhdF

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91zypVpabS

Jehan looked at me and I1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPy9umMCHL
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOLhS1Krvm
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlprcBpYNu

"May I ask what you're 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mAIwKinmP
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrKNj92iJ7
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee6kvCSJ0x

"Oh, we just came here 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKhF3LkBkC
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcggzESh3Y
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJVFiS0CEe

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOgJQzHuVM

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQhfsjs9pX

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6RETztKKT

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAamRP867r6

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KmGdSEvRf

"Yes, we will," said 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDJ2B1wXeR
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHuxo7lrZh
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGR2wf2Z3W

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tRH5pBkSa

"You too," said Seungri.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK84kIvI6sK

Jehan gave a small smile1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGDkK8eUiv
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC1IP3iz9l
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZoLAZLoo4
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi4HkZWKoW

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3Mok69y3p

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3vhwCqmNE

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpEOsaAhqF

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCni9M5ODw

I wondered how I was 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhQiu6qR4n
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLpLme2mTI
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC1ooRtETz
head until I give the teddy bear away.1152Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRZjLcPYGV

This was just great!
