Sunday was quiet and 871Please respect copyright.PENANAXQTy8jxA2O
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 871Please respect copyright.PENANAGdIc3693H0
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 871Please respect copyright.PENANAdZh1GMg31p
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or871Please respect copyright.PENANAMMN0PKOP4K
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.871Please respect copyright.PENANAkXJ8EF66mJ
Last night, Zoey moved 871Please respect copyright.PENANAhcM5z2DAVz
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to871Please respect copyright.PENANAss6iqYgU57
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 871Please respect copyright.PENANAo6hkv1CXNW
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 871Please respect copyright.PENANArSa4o9PbW0
talk to her either.871Please respect copyright.PENANAJdiMfdO9z8
And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.871Please respect copyright.PENANAP1hV7QLsjC
It so happened that 871Please respect copyright.PENANA3aFeqVcOrB
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 871Please respect copyright.PENANAmbeh6zHoBN
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 871Please respect copyright.PENANAE6G9pNyIpS
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 871Please respect copyright.PENANACnszPjiXgK
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 871Please respect copyright.PENANApMWtu5Ylbi
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.871Please respect copyright.PENANANP5lPQj6Sy
Now, I was sitting 871Please respect copyright.PENANASneJjuIQle
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 871Please respect copyright.PENANA8bVV2wUYSV
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had871Please respect copyright.PENANA6odXSfoPVn
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 871Please respect copyright.PENANACzDMVyyuOq
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.871Please respect copyright.PENANA9qY6djR4bs
I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.871Please respect copyright.PENANAsbMjaoM7WR
"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.871Please respect copyright.PENANATkbw2ZBYtP
"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.871Please respect copyright.PENANAxa30XLd6eV
"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?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAt8A1uIV6Ck
"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.871Please respect copyright.PENANA0JKwluoC19
"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.871Please respect copyright.PENANAcQKFYsyLzP
"Lee!" I whined, putting871Please respect copyright.PENANAdbJE4Japhs
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 871Please respect copyright.PENANA2GmHN3EjIu
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.871Please respect copyright.PENANAzlTqQH5mv1
"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."871Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gj7jqpKIZ
"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.871Please respect copyright.PENANAkBuVqH1Vnj
"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."871Please respect copyright.PENANAwXV3FjvSph
"Why? I want to stay here."871Please respect copyright.PENANAd1I7gJuUIi
"I need to go and shop 871Please respect copyright.PENANA5WUTUiiryb
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after871Please respect copyright.PENANAlLHfyj9vQ1
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."871Please respect copyright.PENANAqhZ7szcJPp
"But watching YouTube 871Please respect copyright.PENANAVnfvOCfOsN
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 871Please respect copyright.PENANAFS8jlUzGRr
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."871Please respect copyright.PENANA2rgbJZBTJY
Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAVKutBh5bWJ
"I think Lee is right, 871Please respect copyright.PENANAH5FCz34Hc8
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 871Please respect copyright.PENANAkVYDiPFQsT
out on Sundays like you do back home."871Please respect copyright.PENANAIsBDRzyEPG
"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.871Please respect copyright.PENANAT1hDqbdUn7
"I know you're a fan of 871Please respect copyright.PENANAA4MwxPDsbs
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 871Please respect copyright.PENANAZFw33MLhVS
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.871Please respect copyright.PENANACGeOiavIrp
"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANAtHlmK8aKV2
"Well, that's what 871Please respect copyright.PENANAbxoIGP8q1j
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 871Please respect copyright.PENANAFZuX8mBK3k
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."871Please respect copyright.PENANAuIWWhYwgl1
"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."871Please respect copyright.PENANAAodFqzPHHz
"That's what we are 871Please respect copyright.PENANAxBewhczXAQ
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 871Please respect copyright.PENANA2twUSZmgiJ
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like871Please respect copyright.PENANA1ik8227Mph
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."871Please respect copyright.PENANA9mkRKj7PrK
Daniel's right. I had to871Please respect copyright.PENANANEfjz0fzcw
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 871Please respect copyright.PENANA11Uf3XXk6U
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 871Please respect copyright.PENANAkt8JdDk7GK
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?871Please respect copyright.PENANAEKRNvRMscj
Unlike the others, Lee 871Please respect copyright.PENANACThSpTze2x
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 871Please respect copyright.PENANAGW9axRlRYv
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 871Please respect copyright.PENANAuxeX1mHKq2
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 871Please respect copyright.PENANA4w8vZxgBHT
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 871Please respect copyright.PENANAzGA8832Gat
and Zoey together.871Please respect copyright.PENANAbcdgAVk9mz
I really wanted to tell 871Please respect copyright.PENANARB0DP8jDKU
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 871Please respect copyright.PENANAwuAecsNBue
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I871Please respect copyright.PENANAYhmJEGVuKu
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 871Please respect copyright.PENANAUHOxO9ZiTw
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAJWzs5m2ySm
When was I ever going to change?871Please respect copyright.PENANAoU2s02e8XD
"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."871Please respect copyright.PENANAg8QxTYTzv3
"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."871Please respect copyright.PENANAvbre4UrOCu
"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANAG0zJO4DPRX
"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."871Please respect copyright.PENANA8DZKBnBymG
"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.871Please respect copyright.PENANAhQDWqUUrjs
Lee, Mike and Daniel 871Please respect copyright.PENANAjI8aXC7rLw
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 871Please respect copyright.PENANAfxGSKizpCQ
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to871Please respect copyright.PENANAoVcmj9VNdx
my room to get my shoes.871Please respect copyright.PENANAhiIA6Ft1ox
After I wore my white 871Please respect copyright.PENANAVBqvqRtL0u
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 871Please respect copyright.PENANAp3XEsduipa
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 871Please respect copyright.PENANAf2mr0zaWyT
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 871Please respect copyright.PENANAsZvq3wF1Nx
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each871Please respect copyright.PENANAYfVMZTIrsG
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.871Please respect copyright.PENANAev3OlTqsJf
"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."871Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3jFxHAmSn
"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."871Please respect copyright.PENANANvoYGsOnEA
I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.871Please respect copyright.PENANA7MWjGZgUW0
I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.871Please respect copyright.PENANAtAEwr9rhVD
"We can go, now," I told her.871Please respect copyright.PENANAiOsOjvMhxj
"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.871Please respect copyright.PENANAXMWsLjWPo7
"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.871Please respect copyright.PENANAc9RjoSKbiR
"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.871Please respect copyright.PENANAPB97IJdqho
I smiled back at him. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAWyFaAHnDbj
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 871Please respect copyright.PENANAEaUbB9G3fL
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 871Please respect copyright.PENANAr3iJwnEhZI
guards in the other SUV.871Please respect copyright.PENANAIsrxoruZy7
"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.871Please respect copyright.PENANA5BqumftMiF
"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.871Please respect copyright.PENANAHM2TAQ1e16
"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."871Please respect copyright.PENANAu8AHKRjagY
The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.871Please respect copyright.PENANAgqyEYmdFl7
"So, where are we going?" I asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANA3eOCxybUUK
"To the mall," Lee answered.871Please respect copyright.PENANAkzjD0OvbVo
"How will the mall help me figure things out?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAlWBGvkgkRS
"What's wrong with the 871Please respect copyright.PENANAhfrBHk9jDW
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 871Please respect copyright.PENANAKYoVGeWxYr
best plans just come out of the blue."871Please respect copyright.PENANAhj5wlZssJt
"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."871Please respect copyright.PENANAaCifchihJu
"And waste the day away? No way."871Please respect copyright.PENANArMYmUtKfsm
"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."871Please respect copyright.PENANAdJexHavKMf
"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."871Please respect copyright.PENANAguH5ZMFcdp
"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."871Please respect copyright.PENANAzAcRfrfJf0
"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAzxCZ23alzS
"No. Zoey might have 871Please respect copyright.PENANA9UFg6qU7mS
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 871Please respect copyright.PENANATDCbkBNjAM
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 871Please respect copyright.PENANAYFBBR5TmMy
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."871Please respect copyright.PENANAUM0xpUzoyD
"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAmoFJDyCdW3
"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."871Please respect copyright.PENANA7QUofkhu4k
"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"871Please respect copyright.PENANARHHOkBhC0q
"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."871Please respect copyright.PENANA7lsuSl1OSM
Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.871Please respect copyright.PENANAtj0a1F5Ars
"I don't know what to do871Please respect copyright.PENANA1PkbtJ9R2D
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey871Please respect copyright.PENANA8M9cOlbFzS
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey871Please respect copyright.PENANA7XRBie3tQa
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 871Please respect copyright.PENANAmR1V4BIr3a
somehow."871Please respect copyright.PENANAhXWTDtqPPV
"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."871Please respect copyright.PENANAHZODLYnJcC
"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."871Please respect copyright.PENANALSCqwc6cFk
"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."871Please respect copyright.PENANADvrbE9HALm
I folded my arms as I 871Please respect copyright.PENANAwRohtNhDTg
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 871Please respect copyright.PENANAWGnbjlEiTt
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 871Please respect copyright.PENANAG839JEE5SJ
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 871Please respect copyright.PENANAMFJxOoyGqV
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.871Please respect copyright.PENANAl3B9lgk8Q6
We soon reached the mall871Please respect copyright.PENANA8AFlzGA0CQ
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 871Please respect copyright.PENANA65AK4F7k6p
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 871Please respect copyright.PENANAG4Dpy4RCbt
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 871Please respect copyright.PENANA8ObqzB93zW
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 871Please respect copyright.PENANA2xeqbtMbCe
the bodyguards were around.871Please respect copyright.PENANATc1zBNWt4J
Lee and I first went 871Please respect copyright.PENANAXwsB1IcMLU
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 871Please respect copyright.PENANATwB2ezFzIJ
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for871Please respect copyright.PENANAwNE4PENRug
a while. I was having fun.871Please respect copyright.PENANAnbEIC6j6RT
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.871Please respect copyright.PENANA0SRMfVc9sm
Lee and I soon came out 871Please respect copyright.PENANAZVSVdQh3op
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 871Please respect copyright.PENANAKK62LIS6Zj
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 871Please respect copyright.PENANALD6kbr4xhb
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 871Please respect copyright.PENANAa5PDVNUnM3
our bags because we bought way too much.871Please respect copyright.PENANATL3k3noVXY
When we walked out of 871Please respect copyright.PENANAITdztT3TbV
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 871Please respect copyright.PENANAeP7DOhWTod
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 871Please respect copyright.PENANAvEhnu02qo6
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 871Please respect copyright.PENANAC51IBP7Ers
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.871Please respect copyright.PENANAOyNzsfwYR5
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.871Please respect copyright.PENANAqQKHoIuW4i
I couldn't answer Lee. I871Please respect copyright.PENANAskgtet9ffL
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 871Please respect copyright.PENANA2EAcikukfv
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.871Please respect copyright.PENANAmuvsbQT18A
"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.871Please respect copyright.PENANAK4Ltmu0019
"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.871Please respect copyright.PENANAc4j6AAlLyD
"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"871Please respect copyright.PENANA3WHJQJG2ie
"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."871Please respect copyright.PENANAWReDHkUXZT
"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."871Please respect copyright.PENANAaL6iaI4hu8
"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.871Please respect copyright.PENANA4I0E6MlvsL
"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAvCX84R7wZp
"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.871Please respect copyright.PENANAQvKViyq3ZA
I looked at each and 871Please respect copyright.PENANA9M11I4MmLi
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 871Please respect copyright.PENANAsQQOmYUwsE
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.871Please respect copyright.PENANACgtIUQICU1
"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.871Please respect copyright.PENANA2omvYpuYmi
"What?" Lee looked 871Please respect copyright.PENANABBPdF8EpTx
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 871Please respect copyright.PENANA8GnnsaKwPo
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 871Please respect copyright.PENANA2rbNUezPm8
panda."871Please respect copyright.PENANAeEXbNZeuzU
"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."871Please respect copyright.PENANAsjTNIveGtg
"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.871Please respect copyright.PENANA6aIo7ruiur
"Derrick's brother sent 871Please respect copyright.PENANAOQhicanxbT
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 871Please respect copyright.PENANAa1XxbyqEYI
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy871Please respect copyright.PENANAVOsjucn44N
bear."871Please respect copyright.PENANAjElpsaU6Mk
"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."871Please respect copyright.PENANANeoFS6pzNX
"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAiJUUcTbss7
"I don't get it though."871Please respect copyright.PENANALs7tS7NXqT
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 871Please respect copyright.PENANA5uzVe3h1yA
so concerned about that small teddy?"871Please respect copyright.PENANA2IZ4QcZRwp
"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."871Please respect copyright.PENANAmpdQ2VeuT2
***871Please respect copyright.PENANA1EdwO3pwBN
Zoey's P.O.V871Please respect copyright.PENANApa17BvCYhy
"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.871Please respect copyright.PENANAIXU0I4ZLqe
"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.871Please respect copyright.PENANAQXMVrjZmoh
"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."871Please respect copyright.PENANAj8qVKCxx3n
"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."871Please respect copyright.PENANAhX4OdHWmKq
"How am I treating her unfairly?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAxVyTSKjuHc
"You moved out of the 871Please respect copyright.PENANAGZguZVfmhs
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 871Please respect copyright.PENANA7yJwE1zYbm
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 871Please respect copyright.PENANAfhpjQCTe0p
of alien or something."871Please respect copyright.PENANA9LJU86xENC
I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."871Please respect copyright.PENANAiU2J6VW7bj
In a quick flash, a 871Please respect copyright.PENANA1FCcjSDI0Z
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 871Please respect copyright.PENANAw8p3uBmicG
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.871Please respect copyright.PENANAiLWEIuXRR2
"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.871Please respect copyright.PENANAFYLXgomOkp
"Do you want more of 871Please respect copyright.PENANAtMFtVgkIBk
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 871Please respect copyright.PENANAuyqFqVn6xc
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.871Please respect copyright.PENANA3a6kew3wzW
"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."871Please respect copyright.PENANAx7R5W9pNtQ
"You got that right." 871Please respect copyright.PENANAgm9Sz91qRs
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't871Please respect copyright.PENANAqLWzM3K7eV
ignore her like you're doing forever."871Please respect copyright.PENANAKjuzAebTVh
"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.871Please respect copyright.PENANA6YuoI7ruG9
"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."871Please respect copyright.PENANA0g798szbKW
"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."871Please respect copyright.PENANAAAOOCnMWKV
Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.871Please respect copyright.PENANA4WnevpCjVg
"It's normal for someone871Please respect copyright.PENANAhYXrKceNyM
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last871Please respect copyright.PENANAcBS8v2Ezb7
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 871Please respect copyright.PENANAjwYFoLqMcM
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,871Please respect copyright.PENANAH1AlJBW3yO
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 871Please respect copyright.PENANAwnFanPim7u
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."871Please respect copyright.PENANADDgDRriGpp
I always hated such kind871Please respect copyright.PENANAzKxqtKIwlS
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I871Please respect copyright.PENANAP2ZhcPYZr5
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact871Please respect copyright.PENANAWA91RR6ioB
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,871Please respect copyright.PENANAjvwByaSZWt
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I871Please respect copyright.PENANAzNyXIJZZQJ
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 871Please respect copyright.PENANAsOCcCLiEvQ
nothing.871Please respect copyright.PENANAOVeYcgws26
I've never told anyone 871Please respect copyright.PENANAOauka879J3
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 871Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y73t9o1j1
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a871Please respect copyright.PENANAlY2BIlI5Pi
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 871Please respect copyright.PENANAecqctQGYoI
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 871Please respect copyright.PENANA2TlIqFOqDB
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 871Please respect copyright.PENANAyMKskln3rK
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.871Please respect copyright.PENANAMhJ3A4ngYe
I am Yin and she is 871Please respect copyright.PENANA8jX0CJPxk8
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 871Please respect copyright.PENANASpGqXrUDeZ
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 871Please respect copyright.PENANAPudmqNBGzs
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam871Please respect copyright.PENANAfO8cj3USp1
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?871Please respect copyright.PENANAYC3OBa0eNC
And now when I needed 871Please respect copyright.PENANA8r3ViZyE32
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 871Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y7kMxMuTZ
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into871Please respect copyright.PENANAiUAEB5LCaR
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 871Please respect copyright.PENANA6Cd75Qg3vM
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 871Please respect copyright.PENANAgEUm3J8ONw
serious situation with a very dangerous person.871Please respect copyright.PENANARcsUnG3LQP
It all begun when I went871Please respect copyright.PENANApOXV6rJSNC
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 871Please respect copyright.PENANArR7V8gV9GG
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 871Please respect copyright.PENANA42mKEklFdj
this mess.871Please respect copyright.PENANAF112KoK98o
We were having so much 871Please respect copyright.PENANAGsONDjTVFe
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 871Please respect copyright.PENANAkANxQBo5rb
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 871Please respect copyright.PENANAmDJeuYatMN
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 871Please respect copyright.PENANAUlf8o8PP3t
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 871Please respect copyright.PENANAWxNJjFHh5d
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 871Please respect copyright.PENANAHZBtc2HwN4
things did go wrong.871Please respect copyright.PENANAMEY73bFhMa
As we were watching the 871Please respect copyright.PENANALnzqRzFDpu
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 871Please respect copyright.PENANA06zbrWkmeA
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me871Please respect copyright.PENANAs8sANwFBOy
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.871Please respect copyright.PENANAITLEtJ626b
When I looked at him, he871Please respect copyright.PENANAk7eVjS5GLq
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised871Please respect copyright.PENANAb5m00w8CkW
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 871Please respect copyright.PENANAZJnAVgWFCL
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 871Please respect copyright.PENANAMO6kyTH8z9
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 871Please respect copyright.PENANAH88VaINjFQ
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.871Please respect copyright.PENANAyFFqNaiUtI
After the show when 871Please respect copyright.PENANAK678qygpWQ
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 871Please respect copyright.PENANAhLiChcIBmS
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 871Please respect copyright.PENANAB6uHpLvPn0
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 871Please respect copyright.PENANAS8eoOdKVvA
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 871Please respect copyright.PENANAYLyBJI2DsE
take a few minutes.871Please respect copyright.PENANAzAxuOPmfs3
I didn't find anything 871Please respect copyright.PENANAsiRmYBzuHq
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 871Please respect copyright.PENANA7JpVCtwQI0
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 871Please respect copyright.PENANAfit0YCzE6e
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 871Please respect copyright.PENANALjKNumZUgF
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 871Please respect copyright.PENANAjPUul00ts0
too much.871Please respect copyright.PENANA0EfAteoLKI
Jehan led the way out 871Please respect copyright.PENANAnVqdsTjXCH
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 871Please respect copyright.PENANALWt1PrazS0
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 871Please respect copyright.PENANA15SU1fpRaa
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 871Please respect copyright.PENANAFDXEcnsL3R
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 871Please respect copyright.PENANAKBBTmnRlfk
that I felt a little safe.871Please respect copyright.PENANAx3dlcj0XAF
The two of us soon found871Please respect copyright.PENANAnQmGX7Daf4
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 871Please respect copyright.PENANAPBOCjpy2nc
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 871Please respect copyright.PENANAHa6VZoUZq9
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 871Please respect copyright.PENANAUy3I2XdAYm
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 871Please respect copyright.PENANAQyz8NwzOtW
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a871Please respect copyright.PENANA3sVztKS8DQ
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 871Please respect copyright.PENANAWVWahsFBx2
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing871Please respect copyright.PENANALXnXQ8q0Rm
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 871Please respect copyright.PENANARlLoaxpean
menacing.871Please respect copyright.PENANANvKM4BW5nF
He gave me something for871Please respect copyright.PENANA7oBNjN58hO
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 871Please respect copyright.PENANANJ2vxVtvwn
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 871Please respect copyright.PENANAphtnDTpxnI
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 871Please respect copyright.PENANAMAA0niHVmt
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 871Please respect copyright.PENANAY3zP9M42Px
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 871Please respect copyright.PENANAcHFh9KEN9w
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.871Please respect copyright.PENANAh7eX1tHkjV
Whatever he sent me that871Please respect copyright.PENANAMg70xZzEMQ
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 871Please respect copyright.PENANAZpg0HZ1UTG
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 871Please respect copyright.PENANAKeppYMHhXx
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 871Please respect copyright.PENANA4qTc3kF5Fl
happened yesterday.871Please respect copyright.PENANAiKUaVNKYvx
I had never been in this871Please respect copyright.PENANA6FG0Ttxkpn
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?871Please respect copyright.PENANA5JsnuJmBGi
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest871Please respect copyright.PENANAfuoKp1Qqt6
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 871Please respect copyright.PENANAGof2Cu8UhG
crying out loud. I had to do something.871Please respect copyright.PENANAx5DXJu6549
My phone rang bringing 871Please respect copyright.PENANA70QdycimHp
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 871Please respect copyright.PENANARLaTCHBjgW
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside871Please respect copyright.PENANAezRhf8BQWq
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.871Please respect copyright.PENANAiKSIATMGUC
"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.871Please respect copyright.PENANAIxEnAjX7hR
"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.871Please respect copyright.PENANAmlgGpesHXy
"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.871Please respect copyright.PENANAjIWvnlKuYi
"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."871Please respect copyright.PENANAxV3byUPPiH
I would have told him to871Please respect copyright.PENANABf23N9TwdR
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 871Please respect copyright.PENANA3Zyauk5OZO
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.871Please respect copyright.PENANACJwXznAvxm
"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.871Please respect copyright.PENANAFhpyEiByCy
"Looks like you aren't 871Please respect copyright.PENANAv7d72uEIpr
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.871Please respect copyright.PENANAWkrwss2qgl
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."871Please respect copyright.PENANASSQbkafZO7
"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.871Please respect copyright.PENANAjdrd3QVPun
"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAIRmvBBmjB5
"Just get to the point, 871Please respect copyright.PENANAaRG4I90ba2
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 871Please respect copyright.PENANA2qzwQZZsxb
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.871Please respect copyright.PENANAusfw3qMYUI
"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.871Please respect copyright.PENANAkYwfbPmUlj
"Today? Are you serious?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAzCm5Gg1hWo
"You know that I am. We meet today."871Please respect copyright.PENANAj0TuoF0xpn
"But where?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAFIwJzzcOwN
"At the mall."871Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ0Yw0BrV5
For a moment I almost 871Please respect copyright.PENANAi8obkB7Y04
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to871Please respect copyright.PENANAGDEXWCS1Rk
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 871Please respect copyright.PENANAUyGTFFNrOd
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 871Please respect copyright.PENANAbS7SWBzPsA
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.871Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ4vLNEepl
"What's so funny?" Jehan871Please respect copyright.PENANADoppwVFY8A
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 871Please respect copyright.PENANAsqLTikcpIR
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 871Please respect copyright.PENANAcBsa8CDL1N
myself.871Please respect copyright.PENANA1hPNPg1tvP
"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."871Please respect copyright.PENANAWrEoZ9w5U6
"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."871Please respect copyright.PENANAQVGg0eEakd
If he thought saying 871Please respect copyright.PENANAZY5l3y2Tka
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me871Please respect copyright.PENANAP4Ol2A7RWi
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.871Please respect copyright.PENANAGyS3ruSw1f
"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.871Please respect copyright.PENANAv3l0uXVnGI
"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."871Please respect copyright.PENANAyJEmy7eBuN
"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."871Please respect copyright.PENANAfbWpKhmpQt
"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."871Please respect copyright.PENANA4eQQu0oHjG
"Ya, sure."871Please respect copyright.PENANAatZmD6Esbt
Jehan didn't say 871Please respect copyright.PENANAT5VtM9KXPX
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 871Please respect copyright.PENANAfcUgEt262p
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAYlHZ2uNqFx
Typical.871Please respect copyright.PENANANvCu4O7TDY
"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.871Please respect copyright.PENANAf9Vd0SuYq0
"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."871Please respect copyright.PENANAeAxNKDTsIa
"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"871Please respect copyright.PENANATMxk7e1XOE
"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."871Please respect copyright.PENANAUsiefc9Uip
"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.871Please respect copyright.PENANAXOtndP9vyJ
"Why? You think I would?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAJC1nAIMPbB
"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."871Please respect copyright.PENANAPJNyj8y4lZ
"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."871Please respect copyright.PENANAfLTMotWF4a
"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.871Please respect copyright.PENANAGJD3FHn5Lr
"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.871Please respect copyright.PENANAB3XIy4XGzl
"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.871Please respect copyright.PENANAkmidMbNw0F
"That one. Where is it?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAfni63cYwAQ
"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.871Please respect copyright.PENANAaNB3OeNomI
"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."871Please respect copyright.PENANAs8qkzokDoz
Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.871Please respect copyright.PENANAz6C4LqDfD0
"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."871Please respect copyright.PENANA5OsGZJNtvT
"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."871Please respect copyright.PENANAfvacbHGJO1
"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."871Please respect copyright.PENANAxdAoVkz2Eh
Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.871Please respect copyright.PENANAhea07CCIlG
I quietly went over to 871Please respect copyright.PENANAvHO5YNiS0y
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 871Please respect copyright.PENANAXSJDA6LQEj
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back871Please respect copyright.PENANAoUHomG8TPz
soon.871Please respect copyright.PENANAy8xSXk0yNM
I came to the drawer 871Please respect copyright.PENANAYuCkzpBKx5
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 871Please respect copyright.PENANAmizn3hZREj
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?871Please respect copyright.PENANA7S2wgfwBWw
I looked at her bed and 871Please respect copyright.PENANAGrdRQCPpUY
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 871Please respect copyright.PENANAkfZlMNaHtm
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.871Please respect copyright.PENANA92IzYKmLzP
"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."871Please respect copyright.PENANAGuB58Ie1x5
I heard the tap in the 871Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ0CR5CCVU
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 871Please respect copyright.PENANAGbxt7ETOIC
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 871Please respect copyright.PENANAI6l5ryyL0I
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 871Please respect copyright.PENANAFQeEipONE7
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.871Please respect copyright.PENANAvtMQdkbOAs
***871Please respect copyright.PENANAIKP220PZiP
Sam's P.O.V871Please respect copyright.PENANAqAO2SKLv3H
"Do you really think 871Please respect copyright.PENANA3R2nSJpKL1
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 871Please respect copyright.PENANA3d3OFnRNE6
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.871Please respect copyright.PENANAnwKxcOOECx
"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.871Please respect copyright.PENANA17q8Ms51N0
"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"871Please respect copyright.PENANANkC9nSJUZk
"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"871Please respect copyright.PENANA0vIifqLItU
"I hope it's not drugs."871Please respect copyright.PENANAMeYf6wuLd2
"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.871Please respect copyright.PENANA6jVB4wiUFJ
"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.871Please respect copyright.PENANAls36KTCCo0
"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.871Please respect copyright.PENANAstgAOBPNN4
"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"871Please respect copyright.PENANATBYSK4nhJ7
"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."871Please respect copyright.PENANAD28jlmmtoG
"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAD03yRj3sn3
"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."871Please respect copyright.PENANAnbd3nWUXhh
"She did a pretty good job on that one."871Please respect copyright.PENANAYMRyzcpmGQ
"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAOXRxX3QMrL
"Zoey."871Please respect copyright.PENANAs8pmIcE00m
"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 871Please respect copyright.PENANAaLGA2JD95i
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 871Please respect copyright.PENANARHeNg24Khb
they couldn't because of our little fight."871Please respect copyright.PENANAsVHcoCEWhA
"Mmm." Lee took a fry 871Please respect copyright.PENANAITpdjD5oTC
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 871Please respect copyright.PENANAgnSFSdB0uK
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAq4FSGk2XMq
I raised an eyebrow at 871Please respect copyright.PENANALaJkOTTDAE
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAjtAj7lXsUm
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.871Please respect copyright.PENANAetxZngR8rD
"Shoot!" I said loudly 871Please respect copyright.PENANAfm0bT1Nb0M
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 871Please respect copyright.PENANAd0WVWnM7Bj
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 871Please respect copyright.PENANALYVkNFhn8h
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."871Please respect copyright.PENANA70KRrRbJ4m
"About what?" Lee asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANAvhqjH9bbIs
"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."871Please respect copyright.PENANAcNkalaCzVO
"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."871Please respect copyright.PENANAKiTHWnDPD7
"But today might be the 871Please respect copyright.PENANAtRdvDY03So
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 871Please respect copyright.PENANAXKiCguVtq7
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."871Please respect copyright.PENANAHTqJC8UZu5
"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."871Please respect copyright.PENANAhiif6MrM8Z
My heart rate quickened 871Please respect copyright.PENANAKr5XBhhDVZ
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 871Please respect copyright.PENANAQCH78Al5Ah
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?871Please respect copyright.PENANAvj7qmxplBe
"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.871Please respect copyright.PENANAMEGzAvnFtX
"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."871Please respect copyright.PENANASjLOhb19sE
"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.871Please respect copyright.PENANASXlSYR3wJj
"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."871Please respect copyright.PENANAe8Xy62fExk
"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."871Please respect copyright.PENANAWj9ALVLWmp
Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.871Please respect copyright.PENANAmpPajS5QJz
"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."871Please respect copyright.PENANA5tdgoMHrIJ
There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.871Please respect copyright.PENANA5YiUCDzL7h
"Alright, thanks, 871Please respect copyright.PENANASiQXOVqaJK
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 871Please respect copyright.PENANAUm45ql6nH3
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 871Please respect copyright.PENANAmkQMCwtUEu
Seungri."871Please respect copyright.PENANA27I3Yl778q
I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."871Please respect copyright.PENANAstyBnvnRfQ
"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."871Please respect copyright.PENANAe0M3gSM1Ew
"Did Christine say where she had gone?"871Please respect copyright.PENANABJHwPW3L4n
"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."871Please respect copyright.PENANAnIciOddxFY
I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.871Please respect copyright.PENANAu47zuVFsEm
"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAfBSqiH917M
"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAZjqShLVSHD
"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"871Please respect copyright.PENANA0CWfoxTZtJ
"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAy2DpMKV76e
"Yes, I am." I could 871Please respect copyright.PENANANyoyAXHR5Y
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 871Please respect copyright.PENANAjRFFvDWkQy
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman871Please respect copyright.PENANAjAe3ZBwc5z
perhaps?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAWP1bwiVVlZ
I rolled my eyes and as 871Please respect copyright.PENANAlLuMe4Oaqg
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 871Please respect copyright.PENANAn1PU2kWddb
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me871Please respect copyright.PENANArAoklxL7m4
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.871Please respect copyright.PENANAmtsVE5A66u
"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.871Please respect copyright.PENANACTPmU4iqFg
"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."871Please respect copyright.PENANARutKRnrOA9
I bit my lower lip and 871Please respect copyright.PENANAgcTyaSCp2n
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 871Please respect copyright.PENANA0BztqUyPBx
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.871Please respect copyright.PENANAUQC8IjCVVj
"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."871Please respect copyright.PENANAM1iOAneEX4
"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAcbD2XHIesT
"I'm at the mall with Lee."871Please respect copyright.PENANAFSoEqjEdY2
"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."871Please respect copyright.PENANAoUMwlrUajs
"Bye."871Please respect copyright.PENANA7HCZJxRHQE
"Bye, my little kitty."871Please respect copyright.PENANAWLkXaDFpHi
"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.871Please respect copyright.PENANAMMWH8B7VWX
"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.871Please respect copyright.PENANAczc8KCSRZ9
"So, he isn't with Zoey?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAGe7JWFe6c4
"Nope. And he isn't 871Please respect copyright.PENANAGCXhKLd7zK
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 871Please respect copyright.PENANAQanxcRlKdL
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."871Please respect copyright.PENANA0UuzBZkAPO
"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."871Please respect copyright.PENANA5VsMImNlrP
"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."871Please respect copyright.PENANAPnj0KVKF8r
"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."871Please respect copyright.PENANAHTOduXd7ux
I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."871Please respect copyright.PENANACkaHlGCQbg
Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."871Please respect copyright.PENANAZIAeNeZHbw
"Tell me about it." I 871Please respect copyright.PENANA8vqxx6zAjZ
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 871Please respect copyright.PENANAqnOVR2HWfI
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."871Please respect copyright.PENANA73migbZkaX
"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."871Please respect copyright.PENANAqTMZraJRcJ
I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.871Please respect copyright.PENANAc6Grya2FCd
After we were done with 871Please respect copyright.PENANAdFjuTg3nbN
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 871Please respect copyright.PENANASgb44NqPdP
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.871Please respect copyright.PENANAoHpcEir9Cu
As soon as we walked out871Please respect copyright.PENANATkS6Rn7Cee
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right871Please respect copyright.PENANAtvyWSalahR
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 871Please respect copyright.PENANA5OCDk096k1
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 871Please respect copyright.PENANATWq0FWOhuz
looking black suit stepped out.871Please respect copyright.PENANAjoZDzdXZu8
Time seemed to have 871Please respect copyright.PENANAAkNuRY6h6S
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 871Please respect copyright.PENANAIcwtdiuJEC
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 871Please respect copyright.PENANAdTRVtuTU7z
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 871Please respect copyright.PENANAkeWE6CQ4od
something familiar about him.871Please respect copyright.PENANA1ESYFc5LWS
Just as I was about to 871Please respect copyright.PENANAojq7QpFMVj
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 871Please respect copyright.PENANAeDsPJ17o05
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.871Please respect copyright.PENANATxZx20G15i
I almost tripped and 871Please respect copyright.PENANAPosnyJ0X6D
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me871Please respect copyright.PENANAdqpT6AL4wD
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 871Please respect copyright.PENANAosV7JcZzB8
me from falling.871Please respect copyright.PENANAUCn5xvtvpM
"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."871Please respect copyright.PENANAVkD6lAAC9Z
I didn't say a word as I871Please respect copyright.PENANAzFNXzjRG1d
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 871Please respect copyright.PENANAkfN1MWbZID
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.871Please respect copyright.PENANARiJi0PeCVs
"We need to go back, Lee," I said.871Please respect copyright.PENANACS8yPKgBHw
"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."871Please respect copyright.PENANAmPqOKfPZbq
"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."871Please respect copyright.PENANA5eXTQrwrcV
"May I please know what's going on with you?"871Please respect copyright.PENANA8lkdija98E
"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."871Please respect copyright.PENANASK4TLpS7ve
***871Please respect copyright.PENANApKy29ZRRdX
Narrator's P.O.V871Please respect copyright.PENANAQVklBfGW92
Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.871Please respect copyright.PENANAYHK4PteXpB
"Hey guys, am here," 871Please respect copyright.PENANA9pN8NnOL5I
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 871Please respect copyright.PENANAXuwU5B3grI
look downcast as though someone's just died."871Please respect copyright.PENANAfxyUR1BN2X
"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.871Please respect copyright.PENANAIujeoRDsda
"This is getting real 871Please respect copyright.PENANACTTwPJTKQp
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 871Please respect copyright.PENANAUdX3TCDxkb
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 871Please respect copyright.PENANAukg267G78i
her or with anyone of you."871Please respect copyright.PENANAa2W01ZavSd
"No, I think now is the 871Please respect copyright.PENANAoiFiFqymJj
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the871Please respect copyright.PENANAXSJrxwgNgS
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."871Please respect copyright.PENANArYlmBUCWRW
"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.871Please respect copyright.PENANA5CBVYECULl
"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."871Please respect copyright.PENANAGtylBMys4e
"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.871Please respect copyright.PENANAwwgXOcX7SG
"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.871Please respect copyright.PENANASwAvY1RsMv
"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.871Please respect copyright.PENANAsHjvV2ZIQX
"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.871Please respect copyright.PENANA4OLpaNQRPb
"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."871Please respect copyright.PENANAhPEnHDBFVE
The others rolled their 871Please respect copyright.PENANADPhW0shFY7
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 871Please respect copyright.PENANAVceArDyh6j
around and now wasn't the time for it.871Please respect copyright.PENANAqyRFYBHuoj
"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.871Please respect copyright.PENANAzkZRrSuBjm
"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.871Please respect copyright.PENANAUzZnqbTGXk
G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.871Please respect copyright.PENANAXCKeSpsW9E
"Well, maybe," said 871Please respect copyright.PENANA4tHabktmxu
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk871Please respect copyright.PENANAD3I61mj3Ub
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 871Please respect copyright.PENANAd9cQpQxJmV
she told me to break things up with Zoey."871Please respect copyright.PENANA34XFadSmUU
"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANASNF0otKp28
"When I saw Daesung and 871Please respect copyright.PENANAeBTng0w48F
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 871Please respect copyright.PENANAdRUVCm3aHN
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."871Please respect copyright.PENANAKw66U8GEtY
"And you still are," said Taeyang.871Please respect copyright.PENANAFy284x0CwK
G-Dragon didn't answer 871Please respect copyright.PENANA9CjqqdYTNb
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 871Please respect copyright.PENANAwPil5xIpoX
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.871Please respect copyright.PENANA5hml0eSS6D
"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."871Please respect copyright.PENANAHwdMTJp3QZ
"What do you mean?" 871Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1x8OInDek
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 871Please respect copyright.PENANAluFbTMea2L
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."871Please respect copyright.PENANAKAKu2qVL9O
"She was just doing that871Please respect copyright.PENANAQkbwNc8lEz
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 871Please respect copyright.PENANA1FO3YGfQY5
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 871Please respect copyright.PENANAHdZUw846hN
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 871Please respect copyright.PENANAWaUIAJ1wEZ
be together."871Please respect copyright.PENANAsKWSXfliLR
"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.871Please respect copyright.PENANAOzcvYsLGL5
"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."871Please respect copyright.PENANAvpFEVYsBDa
All the four BigBang 871Please respect copyright.PENANAHGFOItY8cK
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there871Please respect copyright.PENANAJkNBabVT0K
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 871Please respect copyright.PENANAQNNrxnJ4wt
heard him come in.871Please respect copyright.PENANAHfDDt1H1rV
"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."871Please respect copyright.PENANA0dHfKMMYd6
"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.871Please respect copyright.PENANAuVacE6NrSt
"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."871Please respect copyright.PENANAL53ZfCBUtG
"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAV0EwBUuDuq
"I'm not going to stay 871Please respect copyright.PENANAPmQb4OwcxR
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAhA0RYuhsSV
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."871Please respect copyright.PENANALHFVODQpPK
"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.871Please respect copyright.PENANADWRVgzpzwH
"No, I don't."871Please respect copyright.PENANA8a0n1Kujlp
Before G-Dragon could 871Please respect copyright.PENANAhuKMOZcbGc
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 871Please respect copyright.PENANAfI1PG1We8y
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.871Please respect copyright.PENANALrR9NoNLDl
"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.871Please respect copyright.PENANAkcPlVImQyP
"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.871Please respect copyright.PENANA64ESfNuiPu
"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.871Please respect copyright.PENANA41mci5pnJ7
G-Dragon folded his arms871Please respect copyright.PENANAbnIkPgMUpg
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 871Please respect copyright.PENANA7gTyiYv596
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 871Please respect copyright.PENANAqMWPzbgOty
stared at the ceiling.871Please respect copyright.PENANAbuLfF0FGVw
"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."871Please respect copyright.PENANAYguJ6gfxaQ
Daesung came into the 871Please respect copyright.PENANAhnXzajlWOd
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 871Please respect copyright.PENANAjMiTYXAKZ1
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.871Please respect copyright.PENANA2rV2T9Hbhq
"Look, I know you're 871Please respect copyright.PENANATuE1ktz3ac
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first871Please respect copyright.PENANAgKSgO89ZZK
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 871Please respect copyright.PENANAsba2FyaY4v
never told me anything either."871Please respect copyright.PENANAP4nRxEi71i
"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.871Please respect copyright.PENANAfaoC2EFLAC
"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."871Please respect copyright.PENANArZ3HV5xluK
"Why?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAA43YyFSIjE
"She just felt like it 871Please respect copyright.PENANAYiGXlSDAO6
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 871Please respect copyright.PENANAhPSPB9rPtW
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks871Please respect copyright.PENANASa1K53nTCG
long distance relationships will ever work out."871Please respect copyright.PENANAKegDIOs9C1
"Then, why did you kiss her?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAGueQjyqeNx
"Because I know I'll 871Please respect copyright.PENANADeqrkbxAiN
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great871Please respect copyright.PENANAg9bRoSmMef
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 871Please respect copyright.PENANA7LiBehSNs0
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 871Please respect copyright.PENANATYOfOBi5Os
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 871Please respect copyright.PENANAYdo7j9XdhB
want to hurt anyone either.871Please respect copyright.PENANAe9yz6Amsha
"Maybe that's why she 871Please respect copyright.PENANAcLBP98mSF8
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 871Please respect copyright.PENANA9cGr5XRkHh
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss871Please respect copyright.PENANA4H5nGSttDY
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."871Please respect copyright.PENANAzRkega2S3L
"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.871Please respect copyright.PENANAESxKTJ6t1n
"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANAzHskbUKa6s
"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.871Please respect copyright.PENANA0FYszx4w8o
"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."871Please respect copyright.PENANAWqVTgOgBZi
"I know."871Please respect copyright.PENANAJa2OoctQGI
"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANAwZKxhZNFBM
"I'll think about it."871Please respect copyright.PENANA6TmiPWrgEX
"No, no, no!" Seungri 871Please respect copyright.PENANAlNSflkLsm4
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you871Please respect copyright.PENANAyrnM06D2QU
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 871Please respect copyright.PENANAq816rU1ucM
the mall."871Please respect copyright.PENANAcQU5y2R4aL
Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.871Please respect copyright.PENANA6cOaGw49IA
"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAVnI13xFyr1
"Ya," said Seungri, 871Please respect copyright.PENANAXUEpw844ku
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 871Please respect copyright.PENANAB3BclsqtKR
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."871Please respect copyright.PENANAEXvkrfCdl1
"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."871Please respect copyright.PENANATAYBdEKLdh
"There is no time to 871Please respect copyright.PENANAxp2zUG3lpo
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 871Please respect copyright.PENANAHnZFobiFJ0
this to Sam. It's not right at all."871Please respect copyright.PENANApA4cH0ZEp0
"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."871Please respect copyright.PENANA8Bs8slNR6p
"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."871Please respect copyright.PENANAy2F0qwkska
"We're your best 871Please respect copyright.PENANAqxF3Kc8AbA
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 871Please respect copyright.PENANA111oMsBtjb
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."871Please respect copyright.PENANAlfK6TvZAfX
"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.871Please respect copyright.PENANAFFJYLvuRBY

Zoey's P.O.V871Please respect copyright.PENANAOYGrP06YX7
I came out of the black 871Please respect copyright.PENANAr7v9DTv8hd
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 871Please respect copyright.PENANAzD8mOG8IIL
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 871Please respect copyright.PENANAk60WWHQi3z
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 871Please respect copyright.PENANAQBmCpY5zPj
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 871Please respect copyright.PENANAiAlAiJtfCQ
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 871Please respect copyright.PENANAbS6M7Y9lQ6
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 871Please respect copyright.PENANAgt5MxUz5aH
by my fans.871Please respect copyright.PENANALoHssg7Bft
I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.871Please respect copyright.PENANAjHdV6KobgL
"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.871Please respect copyright.PENANAtA5gz9LceU
"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANA31pBmE2mvp
"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."871Please respect copyright.PENANARYtSkCWdob
"Okay."871Please respect copyright.PENANAZaPpooT8Cm
"Did you bring what I asked for?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAyCVewrsk8C
I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."871Please respect copyright.PENANA2H1mNuiQ9J
"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."871Please respect copyright.PENANACpfpZFJRqH
"Well, I'm glad you 871Please respect copyright.PENANASgpEScNOJx
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 871Please respect copyright.PENANAj5XP9mSCqg
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 871Please respect copyright.PENANA4uVgCSdoHN
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 871Please respect copyright.PENANA2q6mFFGFn0
lot smarter than you think."871Please respect copyright.PENANAqmavPxI7KF
"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.871Please respect copyright.PENANA7fqEUcxDut
"Mr Grumpy is such a 871Please respect copyright.PENANA73qYPfmjpT
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 871Please respect copyright.PENANA9P0Xw8Oz4e
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.871Please respect copyright.PENANAALXFIBjsU0
When I went into the 871Please respect copyright.PENANAJEmgneyLJE
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 871Please respect copyright.PENANA48s9HvG6gz
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.871Please respect copyright.PENANAIOUFDMWPlL
I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.871Please respect copyright.PENANAeO0XSlZ1Dp
"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.871Please respect copyright.PENANACdUHp71WaD
"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.871Please respect copyright.PENANASOJhJB9o3w
I shivered. Despite his 871Please respect copyright.PENANAwGKC2aPkUi
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 871Please respect copyright.PENANAmulRT489gH
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 871Please respect copyright.PENANAbVDzNBHYj2
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 871Please respect copyright.PENANAYcoiLxlSyB
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.871Please respect copyright.PENANA8eagniaK45
"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."871Please respect copyright.PENANALzBmQXGHre
"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANAKzYkHNDzmw
"Why do you need to 871Please respect copyright.PENANAyfnu1fnIH4
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 871Please respect copyright.PENANA4zUCAJaWyo
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.871Please respect copyright.PENANAns0Sdw0Kv0
"Well, I need to know 871Please respect copyright.PENANAYasFQdlkev
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 871Please respect copyright.PENANApuviFfpvpE
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.871Please respect copyright.PENANAkXkGIK6h2O
"And tell me, why should871Please respect copyright.PENANA5iAHwINn1H
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 871Please respect copyright.PENANAEZWx7QZwCQ
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 871Please respect copyright.PENANAuNmQxFtGzP
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 871Please respect copyright.PENANAY9kmcWm0J4
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.871Please respect copyright.PENANArzluvssFfC
"I...eh..." I looked him871Please respect copyright.PENANAriV9BDdxuP
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAWlMlqyMUiD
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 871Please respect copyright.PENANAy7vcKw5PCK
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 871Please respect copyright.PENANAQLJr8Uhkbi
the kind who would send such a thing."871Please respect copyright.PENANAzOjoz8zXTJ
"Oh, really?" Jehan 871Please respect copyright.PENANAylx6R3mRAq
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 871Please respect copyright.PENANAfxxzjRBwFl
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAhJpGblYozP
"I don't know." I 871Please respect copyright.PENANAlDBs8Y3MGh
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 871Please respect copyright.PENANAlfJgcpblzn
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you871Please respect copyright.PENANAgKTr7HF1JO
up to?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAVw3Lt1ffp2
Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.871Please respect copyright.PENANAVPSH2A8i5B
"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."871Please respect copyright.PENANABVx4jwY5l1
"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAsTQecbKRpu
"What's the matter with that?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAeWeOKx8nQ1
"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."871Please respect copyright.PENANAyDuIPtKUDj
"Don't test my patience,871Please respect copyright.PENANAwDFtHs5pb7
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 871Please respect copyright.PENANAkBge2e3TPQ
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 871Please respect copyright.PENANAinOygcesm6
think you deserve to you know."871Please respect copyright.PENANAo1S54t7Opt
"Well, yes, I do."871Please respect copyright.PENANAOTsr50c4fV
Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."871Please respect copyright.PENANADI6Z6dEtFO

across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 871Please respect copyright.PENANAFgSdHiCqwL
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and871Please respect copyright.PENANABzbCmsPxji

followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed871Please respect copyright.PENANAufXd84eYvV
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 871Please respect copyright.PENANAcHu4TKXfTm
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 871Please respect copyright.PENANALYCdEk9VZJ
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.871Please respect copyright.PENANA7qw54O0kgR
"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."871Please respect copyright.PENANArSr7DUHcPK
"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.871Please respect copyright.PENANA6vug6KlRGT
"But how did you know 871Please respect copyright.PENANADWPbB7P3O3
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 871Please respect copyright.PENANAu15tWI931r
photo you showed me never revealed his face."871Please respect copyright.PENANAbgw4I9CwOC
"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."871Please respect copyright.PENANAMAeNTJTASB
Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"871Please respect copyright.PENANA676LWv4t1m
"Well, ya," I said as I 871Please respect copyright.PENANA8IoxxyIZHN
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 871Please respect copyright.PENANAPgoKpLWBFd
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 871Please respect copyright.PENANAX3XbyNGaUs
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."871Please respect copyright.PENANAkW7T74vhUV
Lee turned to the window871Please respect copyright.PENANANfHmW9FFRo
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like871Please respect copyright.PENANAQa7Srnjktj
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."871Please respect copyright.PENANAHSmToHdriA
"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."871Please respect copyright.PENANAjwlMbgsGvd
"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."871Please respect copyright.PENANAYFuXUfro60
"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."871Please respect copyright.PENANAkk0qpmL9SE
"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."871Please respect copyright.PENANAzkCdC6BuvF
"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.871Please respect copyright.PENANAQKGpmxEAfZ
Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.871Please respect copyright.PENANAVYiYMi00at
"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.871Please respect copyright.PENANASHEtowdrsW
We made sure to keep a 871Please respect copyright.PENANAYSJo1dfZxC
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 871Please respect copyright.PENANAcau9IHppN2
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 871Please respect copyright.PENANAzNgKqwqqvm
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 871Please respect copyright.PENANASra0qgu7iL
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.871Please respect copyright.PENANAxX6CrfIDJM
They went down the 871Please respect copyright.PENANASTHkWW2YrT
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 871Please respect copyright.PENANA6JZnT9uaiZ
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 871Please respect copyright.PENANA3MNAK6cL3U
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.871Please respect copyright.PENANAq9FU4aqa4i
They were led by a 871Please respect copyright.PENANArgknAvO9SU
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAxspbkulDsU
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 871Please respect copyright.PENANAikAaUUGM4N
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 871Please respect copyright.PENANAuG9TiJkudR
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 871Please respect copyright.PENANAZo5kbT7Wcm
restaurant.871Please respect copyright.PENANAq1BCKHJM6s
"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.871Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ1aemZ6L2
"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.871Please respect copyright.PENANABAqcywGeeC
"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."871Please respect copyright.PENANAgh0Zwk2BCZ
"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAAxnNCKGKTq
"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."871Please respect copyright.PENANAdrKTxotDB8
"Me neither. But what to871Please respect copyright.PENANA7UJNGYCagc
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 871Please respect copyright.PENANAdgx7jYjXME
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.871Please respect copyright.PENANA7Vq9l1WnP5
I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.871Please respect copyright.PENANAOS9V4PEkE6
"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.871Please respect copyright.PENANAp8P7LHcLDK
"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAlheCUPAjDY
My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAF8QLQTZoDr
"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."871Please respect copyright.PENANASifJyngE1N
Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.871Please respect copyright.PENANAoHbt0IIv0i
"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAAnkhFpBZ9j
"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."871Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y3MpaY89X
"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.871Please respect copyright.PENANAhoquXDNadO
"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAijr2HSVTM8
"Don't worry. Seungri 871Please respect copyright.PENANA8PRMp90fGE
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 871Please respect copyright.PENANAaQCFLv9BqY
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 871Please respect copyright.PENANAL4gKowzi2H
and she will know something fishy is going on."871Please respect copyright.PENANACxwI6VFkhB
"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."871Please respect copyright.PENANAacPbUXM7J4
"I hope so too."871Please respect copyright.PENANAJ04L2FU9Gj
***871Please respect copyright.PENANA7DVsb9XKwk
Zoey's P.O.V871Please respect copyright.PENANAdoWuNjRZTD
I looked at the menu and871Please respect copyright.PENANAAqILE30SMd
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 871Please respect copyright.PENANAmK76Nst1Fw
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the871Please respect copyright.PENANAI3cmplwaZU
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he871Please respect copyright.PENANA2qni8guc1V
looked up at me.871Please respect copyright.PENANAgl77Ih2D00
"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.871Please respect copyright.PENANARxImOwgp1y
"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.871Please respect copyright.PENANAxEbJtwSy4H
"Why?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAGeVSlEfzza
I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.871Please respect copyright.PENANAb6hh3JliiT
"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."871Please respect copyright.PENANAJovoESnDNa
"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.871Please respect copyright.PENANAxnLGxlPi9y
I growled. "Stop that, will you?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAJv1pWzvnB2
"What?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAh6NhCJaDdA
"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."871Please respect copyright.PENANAahN41aalZX
"I'll try not to next 871Please respect copyright.PENANAE4UOzZL1k8
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan871Please respect copyright.PENANA1FPdcOqQCf
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.871Please respect copyright.PENANAF1NOR0LrR8
"Now, are you going to tell me?"871Please respect copyright.PENANARNuqY9M583
"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."871Please respect copyright.PENANA3a4YhYkpqj
"Not tell anyone."871Please respect copyright.PENANA7pVgBBDrEH
Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."871Please respect copyright.PENANAaJWqWyVQYO
"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."871Please respect copyright.PENANA85CyF6sRZ9
"I smuggle diamonds."871Please respect copyright.PENANA64qGRPUV9S
My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.871Please respect copyright.PENANAoMNA1hmS1q
"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.871Please respect copyright.PENANAqTlWDJP66G
"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."871Please respect copyright.PENANAwZei2aldJq
"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAPkX5EyAvmA
"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."871Please respect copyright.PENANA5bDKGxRZxF
The waiter came with our871Please respect copyright.PENANASanQDh7eQp
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 871Please respect copyright.PENANAhsry3XN0Hu
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.871Please respect copyright.PENANAqhFmESMu4n
"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."871Please respect copyright.PENANAfSpfvkdaK7
"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."871Please respect copyright.PENANADL2yw3aWJp
"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."871Please respect copyright.PENANAPXgv6eg4kS
"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."871Please respect copyright.PENANAe7kdfQBetr
"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.871Please respect copyright.PENANA5dNfTos6Hr
"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.871Please respect copyright.PENANA7ukPemihvq
"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."871Please respect copyright.PENANA4wmBu7j6Rh
"Is that why you're so rich?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAAYtCEpCRQg
"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."871Please respect copyright.PENANAsMaMy91tkb
"That's being greedy, don't you think?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAImtuE9D1SX
Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."871Please respect copyright.PENANAdv184rKlgL
I gulped. He was giving 871Please respect copyright.PENANAEBlEryBDOn
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would871Please respect copyright.PENANAtx4DwRlniP
manage to get out of this lunch, alive.871Please respect copyright.PENANApmtHqNrmxW
***871Please respect copyright.PENANAdGUHyJpQQK
Sam's P.O.V871Please respect copyright.PENANAks2DnYtyEB
I was waiting by the 871Please respect copyright.PENANA9yTTZ4QgpZ
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 871Please respect copyright.PENANAN4DyOQVVYV
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 871Please respect copyright.PENANAmUuXHn0eX4
car? What was he doing here?871Please respect copyright.PENANAfIqBoKG5h4
Seungri came out of the 871Please respect copyright.PENANASM5xituAik
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 871Please respect copyright.PENANAjVtjrbIRtY
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 871Please respect copyright.PENANAnr2kMwsY2I
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when871Please respect copyright.PENANAQlq8eqjsLa
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 871Please respect copyright.PENANAZKpmPnRUTa
what I was expecting.871Please respect copyright.PENANAbq1VlbPa1E
I trembled. What am I 871Please respect copyright.PENANAvOCOevJCA8
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 871Please respect copyright.PENANA2TfykpSWoO
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 871Please respect copyright.PENANAzG44szS5Kt
give Mr Teddy away.871Please respect copyright.PENANAnNrxwgsrOA
"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"871Please respect copyright.PENANA3Js9MM6REV
"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!871Please respect copyright.PENANAdkMFdjvOvN
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."871Please respect copyright.PENANA0NEBEs7K0Q
"I, no....I," I didn't 871Please respect copyright.PENANA143ovuwmqs
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to871Please respect copyright.PENANAcv8nuZgKI4
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?871Please respect copyright.PENANA81Wtdu0s1g
"I was only expecting 871Please respect copyright.PENANAM6T9aSr4zJ
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 871Please respect copyright.PENANAaTY6tQsEnf
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 871Please respect copyright.PENANA4N4NOYKCpe
seeing the two of them together.871Please respect copyright.PENANAy5HwDcr4yS
"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.871Please respect copyright.PENANAFrKxNQCTXF
"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.871Please respect copyright.PENANA2GTh85J6Ux
"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."871Please respect copyright.PENANANu3yMlZvXL
"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."871Please respect copyright.PENANAhQy1J02Tel
"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANAbxzTkutjKh
"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."871Please respect copyright.PENANAvAZgMOgx7c
"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.871Please respect copyright.PENANADYOCBGTSfZ
"Come with me," I said 871Please respect copyright.PENANAvyGlJdOLck
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 871Please respect copyright.PENANAMPFN2nWADz
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 871Please respect copyright.PENANApOy5N47Vxl
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.871Please respect copyright.PENANAMJRv57D9hE
When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.871Please respect copyright.PENANA2zatBAzz1h
"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.871Please respect copyright.PENANA8LLjK4e929
"Hi, guys. You're 871Please respect copyright.PENANAfU0WWWtvPe
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 871Please respect copyright.PENANAWDBVsaLbHs
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."871Please respect copyright.PENANAAIz6zKeQ78
"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."871Please respect copyright.PENANAZvYgJsEWbM
"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANAm9Sd5C33YR
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.871Please respect copyright.PENANADbGreVMPzt
"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAIK1CnldQxN
The five BigBang members all nodded their heads.871Please respect copyright.PENANAY9V67RbXK6
"Well, if you look into 871Please respect copyright.PENANAe5scZLRqeJ
that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 871Please respect copyright.PENANA7RFazhf6SG
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."871Please respect copyright.PENANA4NwMuKb1pW
The five all turned to 871Please respect copyright.PENANA7FQiAfmLFw
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 871Please respect copyright.PENANAIhnw790HFx
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 871Please respect copyright.PENANA4oUGxIjwmi
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.871Please respect copyright.PENANAwMq93wipG3
"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."871Please respect copyright.PENANAKnYBmrS2UE
Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"871Please respect copyright.PENANA5F8lgYD6cY
"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"871Please respect copyright.PENANArRUnbKjHOS
"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."871Please respect copyright.PENANA4Vw2OuY6yy
"We were also wondering 871Please respect copyright.PENANAXfKO23h8zQ
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 871Please respect copyright.PENANAtr5D3LL0pu
them, but decided that I would rather not."871Please respect copyright.PENANAvXNZKcOA9V
"Why?" Daesung asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANAXxUFwLTsYX
"Well, Zoey seems to be 871Please respect copyright.PENANA4onW9QMRVG
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 871Please respect copyright.PENANAGwLUz45paU
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 871Please respect copyright.PENANATEDCK6CmEu
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."871Please respect copyright.PENANAo08ud5hkFa
"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.871Please respect copyright.PENANAAtR3EcwcS4
"Huh? Wait a minute," 871Please respect copyright.PENANAOSxw0Hbmci
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 871Please respect copyright.PENANAcoiX6un8b6
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."871Please respect copyright.PENANAXuV3tffiZA
"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"871Please respect copyright.PENANA7t5MjGlwcz
"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."871Please respect copyright.PENANAnNk3nw0nac
Everyone turned to look 871Please respect copyright.PENANAjBCJLH2bzj
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 871Please respect copyright.PENANAE4r8P6YYZf
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 871Please respect copyright.PENANAiYbA1ORsEC
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.871Please respect copyright.PENANAr8VZoyNpH5
"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.871Please respect copyright.PENANATIOHaeTEbq
Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."871Please respect copyright.PENANAziN4nUQZgE
"Here you're now 871Please respect copyright.PENANAEM7x9ZHbFC
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 871Please respect copyright.PENANAPguPEmSsuE
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.871Please respect copyright.PENANAMDbvkDbT5m
"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.871Please respect copyright.PENANAN50lcRWa6S
"I'll talk with G-Dragon871Please respect copyright.PENANAJdDmjLLbK8
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 871Please respect copyright.PENANAQjWAhEg8vw
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 871Please respect copyright.PENANA9GShiSskkp
something, quick.871Please respect copyright.PENANA2qI8w7RaNV
"Okay, fine, we will 871Please respect copyright.PENANA9YQXH1iFvI
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 871Please respect copyright.PENANAZpzMeUmx3E
into the restaurant and meet the guy."871Please respect copyright.PENANAix1nCyyLnG
Yes. Finally. I thought 871Please respect copyright.PENANAapCAGWET96
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 871Please respect copyright.PENANARMJ6WDJyVo
everything was going to be delayed.871Please respect copyright.PENANADuRAQ58xt6
"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."871Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9H397g7ua
"We will wait out here," said Daesung.871Please respect copyright.PENANA9wFw8AF9cQ
Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.871Please respect copyright.PENANAK7MrhDquc0
"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANALi8q97uHaa
As much as I wanted to 871Please respect copyright.PENANAgXG7x676yc
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 871Please respect copyright.PENANAt5a33jjR1i
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.871Please respect copyright.PENANAk1njFnJE4A
***871Please respect copyright.PENANA3y0mqlxryP
Zoey's P.O.V871Please respect copyright.PENANAeYulO87zah
As much as I tried to 871Please respect copyright.PENANA6fSuzVnDaf
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place871Please respect copyright.PENANAYrxeieI3gp
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 871Please respect copyright.PENANA8MAlprC57i
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 871Please respect copyright.PENANAYjbV77MFa4
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.871Please respect copyright.PENANAFd0oFXF8G4
"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANAzlumJN0Kgq
"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.871Please respect copyright.PENANA9w3hzvnITj
"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.871Please respect copyright.PENANAbyfnB0LmuD
"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."871Please respect copyright.PENANA18O9F4BrSu
"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.871Please respect copyright.PENANAi4QFU9siHJ
"What do you want me to 871Please respect copyright.PENANAWgdwHJq3EM
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 871Please respect copyright.PENANAEBqlWcvtyv
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 871Please respect copyright.PENANADrswmOpaV2
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."871Please respect copyright.PENANA3VNiOHliug
"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."871Please respect copyright.PENANAgYCgvpTLC9
"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."871Please respect copyright.PENANAMnulCWjtgE
Jehan shook his head and871Please respect copyright.PENANA4r2NhBD8RU
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how871Please respect copyright.PENANAM69dSMGcz2
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 871Please respect copyright.PENANAL0fUwU2ami
annoying."871Please respect copyright.PENANAVCxOtM8itc
"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."871Please respect copyright.PENANAEn7xfyk1zk
"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"871Please respect copyright.PENANA3dHoE0zvR0
"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."871Please respect copyright.PENANAMmoJiNQbWd
"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.871Please respect copyright.PENANAFTlF5G5S59
"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."871Please respect copyright.PENANA0bM3DtkGh3
Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAKnmlLiRpAO
"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."871Please respect copyright.PENANACkuxNEOer4
Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAJzoeNED8Jr
"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."871Please respect copyright.PENANAk6FYDAQIa5
Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.871Please respect copyright.PENANASL6nMsHST9
"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.871Please respect copyright.PENANAFdQVesgmNg
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.871Please respect copyright.PENANAhaanOB02Xq
"Yes, for real."871Please respect copyright.PENANAv6OwwZ3Pe0
"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAZyGXeAbfy2
"Yes. Maybe we will meet871Please respect copyright.PENANAkTUYq1BLfY
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that871Please respect copyright.PENANAgf8ElYXsmc
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."871Please respect copyright.PENANAALwoobRINI
"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAt1s1Kpl8Nt
"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."871Please respect copyright.PENANAVgrEZAR3Zg
"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.871Please respect copyright.PENANAnBocmbp0l5
"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.871Please respect copyright.PENANAQkzOoXJH3X
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.871Please respect copyright.PENANAImu4NGlDHc
Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.871Please respect copyright.PENANAvTlD0bE9O3
"Zoey, hey!"871Please respect copyright.PENANAmCw7K496c5
Seungri? I quickly 871Please respect copyright.PENANAltt2yeyaZX
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 871Please respect copyright.PENANApB5SfUqrqT
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 871Please respect copyright.PENANAya01Fluwnj
here?871Please respect copyright.PENANA0JiGmhTmMg
They came over to our 871Please respect copyright.PENANAbxntPnVWBP
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 871Please respect copyright.PENANAn4BHogar7E
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim871Please respect copyright.PENANAsqex7mRD9T
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 871Please respect copyright.PENANABwjxKHFkVg
to do now?871Please respect copyright.PENANA0mrhs8zF7Q
"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAasYvl8x2NY
"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."871Please respect copyright.PENANARZ6rTSrdpn
"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"871Please respect copyright.PENANARDtxpNwjn6
"Jehan."871Please respect copyright.PENANAM0E01AuQIB
"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."871Please respect copyright.PENANAuELQXmVYax
"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."871Please respect copyright.PENANAUJnYeOzD7Z
"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"871Please respect copyright.PENANAmwkKazS6fv
"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."871Please respect copyright.PENANAF134VIkGDz
"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.871Please respect copyright.PENANAeWXHNEPwsW
"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.871Please respect copyright.PENANA185vY88GKL
"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANAsgt6XSSlDQ
I almost spit out the 871Please respect copyright.PENANAowkegIvKbD
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 871Please respect copyright.PENANAUM0v7cqO0d
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 871Please respect copyright.PENANA1YVuwWm3sI
to water.871Please respect copyright.PENANA3runSPfYoM
"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.871Please respect copyright.PENANASSSwCFaFFs
"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?871Please respect copyright.PENANAsjGr3SlF07
"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.871Please respect copyright.PENANAqAPCImgpHI
Jehan looked at me and I871Please respect copyright.PENANAlt2kFLdmY4
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 871Please respect copyright.PENANAevO4XhqRAg
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.871Please respect copyright.PENANAR83yS5cWkf
"May I ask what you're 871Please respect copyright.PENANAp2BIGnAoKz
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 871Please respect copyright.PENANAHVsUxWQI1v
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.871Please respect copyright.PENANAfHvmqGA1r3
"Oh, we just came here 871Please respect copyright.PENANAHaNFp85xuN
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 871Please respect copyright.PENANAGuvlTXQInQ
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."871Please respect copyright.PENANAaImlvJzRP3
"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."871Please respect copyright.PENANAc5UOxqY0YJ
"No, you didn't," said Jehan.871Please respect copyright.PENANAdoS33sdmle
Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.871Please respect copyright.PENANAH8AqzdoYmH
"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."871Please respect copyright.PENANAv59kWvbirf
"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."871Please respect copyright.PENANAuhdqXHMdK9
"Yes, we will," said 871Please respect copyright.PENANAYqAxT6nTMk
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the871Please respect copyright.PENANA9M3PzYhId6
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.871Please respect copyright.PENANAKYa7q4VuE1
"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."871Please respect copyright.PENANAUF5elGLLgD
"You too," said Seungri.871Please respect copyright.PENANAsLcxORrzkA
Jehan gave a small smile871Please respect copyright.PENANAQo6h6scf8H
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 871Please respect copyright.PENANAk1QTc3NYKe
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the871Please respect copyright.PENANAMNxMb66vve
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?871Please respect copyright.PENANAaCegJLgx7R
"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."871Please respect copyright.PENANAjXpatWyYY8
"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.871Please respect copyright.PENANAhECps5B4ok
"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.871Please respect copyright.PENANApv2EK4bsdW
"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.871Please respect copyright.PENANAFZFa25jZTB
I wondered how I was 871Please respect copyright.PENANAIA0yYRaTZ2
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 871Please respect copyright.PENANA7XFzxt1rkI
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 871Please respect copyright.PENANAleAy97VNHu
head until I give the teddy bear away.871Please respect copyright.PENANAis6K4S5rGN
This was just great!
