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

Sunday was quiet and 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBoKjcoffu
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB274pZ9Ez
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2im4RwbGN3
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdCJMVaoNV
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ33yMF7VXE

Last night, Zoey moved 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMg0PkOoEP
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0UOtxJ3Kz
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJq9gt5TMo
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE0983rTOi
talk to her either.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALDYBKDlYM

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqKDwD5Pis

It so happened that 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeHGAEU2gf
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArLHGY8CAj
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbu5wAXVB9
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47krP33Ak2
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfymHFQPDl
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15jMWB388l

Now, I was sitting 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcH3Dy2lTd
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpv8qLnaRC
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaOCpoKsoL
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vzuOTcSnb
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7jG5fQSDn

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwwthqMgbz

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzxUddF5kT

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMBAIYNRDO

"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?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPJsoxe1Xo

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cMZ0PoH5P

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRNoc97xNO

"Lee!" I whined, putting1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolB0iY45ap
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVH65HSyEe
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JT0jOg7ar

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAhp4L48eh

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZXvQGRFWj

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPJoJcTMCW

"Why? I want to stay here."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gltJshq5F

"I need to go and shop 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zFZ6pevFc
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2bFco24U4
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSqHl0bokZ

"But watching YouTube 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a0vgb2l6g
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGdh003znP
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg5BonJTZJ

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZRunnlxB2

"I think Lee is right, 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkbjY0ZZr4
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBdPp8LZ7Q
out on Sundays like you do back home."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5ljltYMV2

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ1DequL2g

"I know you're a fan of 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2qemJrHes
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWT7M4sseM
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8VdLW1Nnc

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypaeFRrjyF

"Well, that's what 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnwoCJ677i
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMVWr6I8bG
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88xGPsFnQd

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGLfIvBHpM

"That's what we are 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw95uFfzmV
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFW86w2LqM
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOLmzjfck2
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2CUuzeK7x

Daniel's right. I had to1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxB3lBdmNN
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9q2k8pyCj
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUBbxHbSJS
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOfOevqylq

Unlike the others, Lee 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRYqjEEQaM
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA6dPXt4fb
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKBREQSCtq
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLxOCCQGa3
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrjkCSQSi5
and Zoey together.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCaqXDx70Z

I really wanted to tell 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vJGnwwada
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8Qh2TAQgR
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVvPYqXMAh
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgZOLhZrrI
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozrWF7inBr
When was I ever going to change?1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjH9gfXDvI

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc6gMsuRkp

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYF53AlaNC

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpeosTIHjf

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmpFKuoYY3

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZhZTWm2YM

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAKHLOd3DA
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqG3il9Lie
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J4OvG4rYe
my room to get my shoes.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfAzhmG5NT

After I wore my white 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYwMcP5JB2
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3ilVKijaj
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzUoyIUeUR
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzISH6wb5a
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRFEBTjXP5
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglxwkjPwzQ

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtxBFfzpaT

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KzoKGsxli

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNnMnuIhQV

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb1tI0wlbL

"We can go, now," I told her.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbiIQEYIpo

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3BfbFRClv

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLNFzwmgLL

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1E9ieljZu

I smiled back at him. 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdghZWTLct
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69LxpP06Gv
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjtIvuLYol
guards in the other SUV.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAg0dzLxBN

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjst5kT4ze

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrPmgq1tx4

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gUWJXkvuf

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLWna50Dhk

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGkNsyV6NB

"To the mall," Lee answered.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww0I33IbyY

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rtzBV3G5e

"What's wrong with the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUJIUbzCXI
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVvqSWSjXM
best plans just come out of the blue."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmmn1S7Wu5

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9szwSGYVr

"And waste the day away? No way."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYschFKMXEb

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuVKh1dfP1

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcxThIroiT

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmKGpmb5iE

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaiVV8Iojq

"No. Zoey might have 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECSlA8ST8d
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXgVcsLN4D
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoN1eC2Wac
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmTgGy9xJ1

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68TgDTKnGM

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mbWtk6AjF

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAx0OnS1qP

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rLL0zoThs

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjHMOaOYWB

"I don't know what to do1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoIk58HLvO
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1t01yY1fd
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapzARaR4rl
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RgDeKI0KX
somehow."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfShv9Ww9TX

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgjrt7CaW0

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipVhceOFEO

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2UsMC9Fir

I folded my arms as I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4b5ttaWzV
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGiUbsL6Bm
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnEPl5PaEs
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBMD9ysYFj
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQAc7WG5Dx

We soon reached the mall1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cea1Af8HL
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM2IRp496p
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQkuPjMFEz
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy22gKruAZt
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn28UVmtYL
the bodyguards were around.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9uGuYAXMc

Lee and I first went 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YY9mn9xSk
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAowPm8srJg
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X3UdweMD7
a while. I was having fun.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe8M4HUFya

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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC932ZZ5VV

Lee and I soon came out 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vqjPAsKyW
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cflfVhSzU
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgDRnZMPLb
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvsdwt8ynr
our bags because we bought way too much.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEOYkMpZIA

When we walked out of 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DUIBL1NPL
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jqBLo0T5n
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPYYCE53Rv
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR2Ugv7mew
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPgICmTvFt

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Db1W2WspF

I couldn't answer Lee. I1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gZSzhGdV5
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhOQwwwVZs
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKpnUaeqwZ

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjVvZPNuyo

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbnXn8T4bm

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL7edikYaK

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotK46Qv6b4

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6gVpmHq87

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFINpD47NV

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7AhsgmoIC

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjz02Jcs8O

I looked at each and 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM77AUsvlTF
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieYvb08fWq
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2mCh4tRgD

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsHw3IKeKS

"What?" Lee looked 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN2YHYaaFR
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK2NwaVySQ
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrMopcVJlA
panda."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKFFvbYegG

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUx5YoOaRk

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUtI3nZHVx

"Derrick's brother sent 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdItHvdmDhR
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqTzv213nh
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoVlNsK3ev
bear."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAVcxrzct6

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOA78dmRxa

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCNcQ81SaF

"I don't get it though."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfETnLfqOKL
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXylmAQGES
so concerned about that small teddy?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCts7YBZmj

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIYvSijhOe

***1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXOpm7ATi0

Zoey's P.O.V1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmK0diK7R4

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9CRBGeLJi

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzbycYw6L0

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1pGlqB36T

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9pOANK4rp

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdCH9AkWoF

"You moved out of the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyvcTAALhJ
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfROGqDEZt
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDJVQUMq3v
of alien or something."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzsw8QKiK7

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWAaYeaEqe

In a quick flash, a 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvvy0G9izy
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsSUK8yeGG
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPC4XYviYY

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsrgnbU7aB

"Do you want more of 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1dUT07D7D
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT9l1eSgiZ
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7BDVE17Wh

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs5carEYY4

"You got that right." 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9a4rTuxbm
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G4vVKNpip
ignore her like you're doing forever."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wJ8ig8ljh

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDlWJXPEIv

"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."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh8anlc3rb

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKhebpi6iM

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF02sYJydUY

"It's normal for someone1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADMQ1lZq80
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOp4fmuwy4
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMZaRrsYX9
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0TUD4vlay
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJmRfEygRL
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIuiFG2z2B

I always hated such kind1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuSbsOll5X
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOlHoKqcgo
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ0F8Bjwvy
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI57ghPvPRz
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJax15dlb7J
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFRSqyZkgt
nothing.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ieCSonsuS

I've never told anyone 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ42Oba9mGK
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO7evStmNd
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVNqMz2cPe
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNWIj9sybI
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EkiBmfYxw
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID3o8Npm5V
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv68NbAxSgv

I am Yin and she is 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAplCeFgSJZ
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxteuEoBeo
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSFl6554Ao
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqtVWTIunn
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH6uofFVwU

And now when I needed 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TutULFBj0
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQRGWJTG3N
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF2YJssDHg
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctn5IFeB5a
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzjsFK0LeI
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJUHPp9Diz

It all begun when I went1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUKKLk0Vj1
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ihUDQbEe
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JH82qd8mg
this mess.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASGyz8qjzU

We were having so much 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZhoW8xFVI
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU17hEf7qB
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGPhG4pvHM
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1u1rIRtXH
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFqcIqdt7H
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3QSs6XSyH
things did go wrong.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21JXuX2qhp

As we were watching the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakZ1seEG1V
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkID6R5Ilk
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5vgYJX7Sc
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNywy0ZdAix

When I looked at him, he1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKetEn71BlR
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhVcxcV7GI
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0uRcigItN
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb5ZpGlIo7
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7NC4gNK4N
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzX2UTycnB

After the show when 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJZzPUSYzj
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6YtZIK2Et
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VGMCQla2l
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFEyPR6Auc
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyCKNRIQQb
take a few minutes.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8DvgmGMqm

I didn't find anything 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrvHVpsE5v
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyml7GHgnpw
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qQK81yhEI
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Izjvd0PWT
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqYhPP07BE
too much.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFwXKMnJnf

Jehan led the way out 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVcCG8cDOy
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5LY0u43V5
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CPJdPqeYj
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCxw8UzLdc
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55BMs6eKN8
that I felt a little safe.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjykGrWXKuX

The two of us soon found1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMV1yjV6XJ
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjQS472AKM
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rYOOS4vKT
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZIvKWWqmz
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZPeGyJhb8
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ635vzbzxZc
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8zipj8FJU
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQgKiCza60
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6yWKrDntH
menacing.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmE2OCglLN

He gave me something for1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk5OhtFa7T
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmjOZC0aI6
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmSVzZeVS6
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxVidnIqfE
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0ymKnoQP3
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh7vv2S3Co
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lBphkoYbA

Whatever he sent me that1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf6y0fq50Q
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSx4uILJjH
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIqKuOQ0IU
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K5BYe6Tp6
happened yesterday.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO7W1LmwrX

I had never been in this1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof7C5hIUZw
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeMh6Wnp30
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRn0tUtS0X
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn6nz3N90M
crying out loud. I had to do something.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgAR6McLiw

My phone rang bringing 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymT7gegBYG
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJwv1f5DsJ
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HANCrFPUk
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM2y4KPgFZ

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEuoucvzjV

"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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiWJ20RXn9

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmjgBqEe4y

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA9wjxaDle

I would have told him to1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE0d0d6blw
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKSqmZsw2Y
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocYhtLr7Ng

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEiZpzcrmR

"Looks like you aren't 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45hUzPh3p9
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqU0kGPJ77
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDHcUq4NvJ

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CFsemR7m2

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94GWUtceFM

"Just get to the point, 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQiU2oNDv3
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr9E6DMFIx
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2V83WpeEZ

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QKuzKqdwA

"Today? Are you serious?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudkxOtOk0v

"You know that I am. We meet today."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUmn1kxzAu

"But where?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU96prpliNl

"At the mall."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrxj8rIb9u

For a moment I almost 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbdjQwyweQ
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrYC9qZPa9
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkelHIDSLi5
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRxyc9jwYO
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn1emncMVr

"What's so funny?" Jehan1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNUHt6jPSQ
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ8cma1yZj
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A6FhMWYxO
myself.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJrfZvf5CH

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J0NfKKbjJ

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78hLGDUz1E

If he thought saying 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bAZ70Zthp
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbnyBLPvNR
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxCZ7N7Fej

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7jT11BlNU

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGXDOz0fac

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8EZ7w2gzp

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW43jUViklG

"Ya, sure."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCu1qnJ6Wu

Jehan didn't say 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb87hr6sS8F
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSPiLfVcmU
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzABJDhSsX
Typical.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pmX7mGf5E

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgATpqfjmI

"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."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm5bxGlapI

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRJAzUKf2P

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqIDiBozod

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z4qV5lMY5

"Why? You think I would?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtwWKa7EkA

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k6ZRyv5bS

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU8c7GxNc1

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwpd5hhAv8

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEIK1zlQkj

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbreD2816el

"That one. Where is it?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1KSF4LuFA

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU15cQBwc8M

"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."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPwdMN1igR

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PEFXL1FHa

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWO92kODOL

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgncMbnxa8z

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wyuBti1hE

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqMRRTqDcR

I quietly went over to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy26klto1F
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP4Ll0litj
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBOa4lObps
soon.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5HgM4FG7J

I came to the drawer 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZgUt72mkt
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaNPZjcONR
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YobDu7eVW

I looked at her bed and 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaKugLvowv
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVOuJxilMj
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdLcB9l03I

"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."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx2oVRACiJ

I heard the tap in the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYZ0l84VSO
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNoNgSqEdx
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLixHP3vor
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgolIFvVOad
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtwJXAc4gA

***1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9YWMi2XN9

Sam's P.O.V1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyeSI6Ffrn

"Do you really think 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zfxf8DllL
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEO8HPFKCT
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4W9RHhW4D

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv58WnjaAO

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIAU2vlR0s

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYVdl5CVlB

"I hope it's not drugs."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFprp0LQ2o

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBfmAIbbQX

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJC2cuO7Z9

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ApASRZi4

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVIlMEEw4M

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkiG32R33J

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYNKZARj4n

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aGFU4Zh2Q

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefSX2mtukN

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0PdWKaZcf

"Zoey."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY88QHA1WP

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNy0NS3f8q
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs90rwdBoqa
they couldn't because of our little fight."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPdRrnu8TV

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqoogkQ3Jn
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1hkbFcKoi
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pyPqVEoHC

I raised an eyebrow at 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a0ZbF1Xdb
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0UiyvfcWq
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkFqYkMlph

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq0tgd25BE
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyuSdOXVoJ
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjFAXSKHNW
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgkfo1GpFm

"About what?" Lee asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6ls1IBoHO

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsS19kVYTX

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80PEhtup8E

"But today might be the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhe5DQetH5
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjALf8ufPUz
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujintXZ0nR

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWtjNRkdsj

My heart rate quickened 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy2Vq7Evp0
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqsxWnW616
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98tuQQI7ye

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYcOUgdjJB

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvj5B408ZM

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIPZAWBCMo

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EW6I3pG1y

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKlmgJz92o

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93ZSNQNq9R

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡny2KSbi6Pp

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrNOksjmoF

"Alright, thanks, 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7rbbBwQU8
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhZ9flQHQj
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkayH1P2GU
Seungri."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P5tdFrN0V

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ0nNvr9Ar

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuwxlatQb4

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl2w22GOul

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFChVO1wQG

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYemptH8YU

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQJPLyktfZ

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYCCB3vbqZ

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSuOGiBxA1

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIguOY1GYjW

"Yes, I am." I could 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkNAJ2OaCe
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAagYADeee
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDFhB4w8js
perhaps?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStecTDFOc2

I rolled my eyes and as 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeoSq5xjss
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCt8QExrMl
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2KdzdezR3
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWmPS4aA0v

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYM3PUiYFu

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcnEAgwfTW

I bit my lower lip and 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vk3pTAD9W
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx4hVfdVi5
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFBS09XZeX

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROjD4BGyru

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WXIJSnXqV

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioGFLIlpVX

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYoGJvxSF3

"Bye."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA6YNMXOOi

"Bye, my little kitty."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt0YdZuTX2

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1nyW6fwCW

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMO03l87Pc

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk4SszhYxL

"Nope. And he isn't 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uvydr9GPH
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPuhsQzIqb
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxUnUIjIlA

"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."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT26e9OVqz

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlucaGjEGw

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxILlD27KDs

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUI5ywkGSA

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr76VJ6tjEy

"Tell me about it." I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqMrY6ePPd
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQlvA1AbUf
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapoDQJtNRF

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c1ZP0TSsk

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7kCs3PKu1

After we were done with 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8GmnLMlS2
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctQOZ5luV4
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU9JinyuLN

As soon as we walked out1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgsqQfzlrI
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvv6Jxz40U
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEYPBF5l64
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMlFFWjxKP
looking black suit stepped out.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy884Qg5rz

Time seemed to have 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDFWgc2duK
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdQtJQIiwo
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLbiw1D6EH
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGqkZ2z2dc
something familiar about him.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VqYgZuEPj

Just as I was about to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS4SgFSxKj
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhuNMn2lhU
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9CpyzMoCl

I almost tripped and 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRar47Pthkx
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZIcDrcFOK
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03Q5KO8hiu
me from falling.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEujyXTvjQ

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcruZj7c8X9

I didn't say a word as I1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85uERbBgjK
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xKTPInIhJ
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVt1vFmwOO

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskM6vyOuO3

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed6B6NAdEP

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkMAvY3pRo

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOpoAftoRN

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9XivtKGuI

Narrator's P.O.V1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vFaR0HXWS

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I5srCUQyI

"Hey guys, am here," 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEspwfxETAG
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRklO1av1U
look downcast as though someone's just died."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcf4AJweGH

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaZ3ky0zMT

"This is getting real 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcIj8yFgyQ
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy7AksQI89
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRGlRHwYST
her or with anyone of you."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2JEJrSqED

"No, I think now is the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafkgQ5zYSD
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhESjqB49w
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW4Shi7aTV

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUPMFJBR7u

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFaSrvUmsV

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5aY5CNFeN

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69dk9UU5gp

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26laxzYDAB

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FNo7FqkSS

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqeEJJfkgF

The others rolled their 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mdrs5q4PE
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT7wDT7X8C
around and now wasn't the time for it.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOkQYBqkIc

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vNmoDy0yJ

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qLs29o6ux

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6P5xYqw3o

"Well, maybe," said 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV9ingo82L
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNAPSGIiCv
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfQEszLo9m
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMoFMF4t58

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5tDLoGo4V

"When I saw Daesung and 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSke7CPDUQG
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnerJqDiIO3
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfyQvFniwN

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsrqjpqbg6

G-Dragon didn't answer 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByk9VE42ww
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwlOz4BuNM
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaMj8VdCVD

"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."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGNinnaO2x

"What do you mean?" 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCWy5fa9vi
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsOzJLnH6S
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOmvSmmQsp

"She was just doing that1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS2zV2ZtjT
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NdsSREdBp
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuzlVY61D3
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoVjQkndsJ
be together."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ180Ca3rB15

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz37fHznkcv

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVRRFq12B8

All the four BigBang 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq3Qfnmcx3
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0KAY7pt48
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcjR43q6dJ
heard him come in.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyHZvvlA9f

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDTaasazSQ

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSwWJ43KpF

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FyVbyfOS7

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwR8D9Y94n

"I'm not going to stay 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3yj4qaW03
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC87XVXtXQW
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfVhyjisDe

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtelQpCS12U

"No, I don't."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbYcv0Otpt

Before G-Dragon could 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmJeoLA3HJ
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB7w3w7idR
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdAYyK9Kyu

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO5CLHoNdZ

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8hh5hEtBu

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZL94Lqxzo

G-Dragon folded his arms1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvbKSSIB0H
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoEImHKrWQ
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEXvJip3kh
stared at the ceiling.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HYcSqitsJ

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll6hK6L9OY

Daesung came into the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhyDmaL364
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64TrOaS1aE
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHJpZvURZC

"Look, I know you're 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xbgtJzSSr
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GDAcdb1H2
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg3xo7Iqao
never told me anything either."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayk7vceH3C

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd35DMaxAfn

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvNhktE78N

"Why?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6sRSq7Hhg

"She just felt like it 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrgC8EEFg4
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7c21UbjUG
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30OVo0I36C
long distance relationships will ever work out."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qCA7dQByr

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ij3xl8GzS

"Because I know I'll 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkNl226IK5
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntBo4fjTKG
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgbfTLwvOV
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U5cDrTtUL
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlJv7HGFJK
want to hurt anyone either.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MfFSYUEwZ

"Maybe that's why she 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjsEjl8PGV
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIrF8jOW4n
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMzBLkWYUi
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjepeyV37hh

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOZ4iO4AzT

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5ipmeAcJQ

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVNtTxT5Ho

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ihIMSIgIt

"I know."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrQFeKV3Io

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNFzHHnlp2

"I'll think about it."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFamCp0PmN

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE6expKcYu
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhjwF6RulX
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZMbBS34vm
the mall."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFoE38cvx4

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89bZLQxFJP

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavyzmyZPIA

"Ya," said Seungri, 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEnwCM5nDq
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qs17fgsTP
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQYzmZ1LBS

"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."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbWDbOyiIH

"There is no time to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU7dRsT75Y
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1kzpdk3UO
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpx3EGWdJE

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbO52jZSob

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnY6Ipa9W5

"We're your best 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFKmX0uNcf
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mZ5z46PgF
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC82kaZXMez

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCSqD2HDTG

Zoey's P.O.V1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTEBVMtLP6

I came out of the black 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeymejXGNX
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7sU0H1Cnw
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUPCl2CDKg
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpMHPwdPlL
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBXrOvSqtQ
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hg3VeoE89
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd5MqCX4ku
by my fans.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BZdzBDM3v

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjGNKhM7ht

"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUCM91jtBs

"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28IFF4QxCZ

"Okay."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcwDkMAdXH

"Did you bring what I asked for?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A4yLBPkjG

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6PUJUR8Gl

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQjC9WffMw

instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6gJpR6P3M
lot smarter than you think."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yibu3js47

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3jyosLH6b

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwJmiM74tF
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc004Futnqz
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bFQXWTszv

When I went into the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpohXggUDM
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyze6yEfZPk
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PcfZmX9wc

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj5SVLhRi2

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyeQ7ygZFN

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7KX9skWrN

I shivered. Despite his 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOunoh4svI2
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTeFAzbFW5
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wyZ79qZTZ
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xiMVRfIpP
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAG9lPmcmk

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3vQlvDWJJ

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD5fAmlPwi

"Why do you need to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiCKluV2im
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoOvPdtfNx
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m4Rf3gCyZ

"Well, I need to know 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMj68ebgAK
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ne26ZnkDw
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkN8Prvcth

"And tell me, why should1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6RrpG6zWl
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91fR5BXICV
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86jVRBxt27
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMJUJw0X5H
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKail2Hwaz

"I...eh..." I looked him1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTVauP0UWK
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNecWlwvlMP
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWobCguYH8D
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXQSGrejKO
the kind who would send such a thing."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMiLm6ZeRZ

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu6iz9Wa9r
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXf8YXuonL
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8XMhqb7TK

"I don't know." I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLuKTakraK
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOJkUTmwqx
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ41N1esXsI
up to?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0UbzMocNi

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngQXsW4iTK

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHiQNnGRZD

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0sxyShQwh

"What's the matter with that?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbo6Eciw19

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNimOmZdJR

"Don't test my patience,1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6UEoCYR3n
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD0CaIFJzc
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZdDi1Dtmu
think you deserve to you know."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpV8hIpFvR

"Well, yes, I do."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVHlzKUgXd

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMx5vS399j

***1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlATnviSpvS

Sam's P.O.V1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ119tpajr3H

I could see Zoey from 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHsSxyX32p
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYQw0ErcgH
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhlN0yAM1Y
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4gRh9Z8t0
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8loJnQt0w

I was entirely grateful 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRZrGbtEFs
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qWBwv3pEJ
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUYGYJr7E9
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YO02cZdzw
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpifjPbplu
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6a7XaET7N
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdFB56VATt

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEarJ5NxNPK

"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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQOarexJJM

"But how did you know 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCMxuMcdbt
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhdHBBJPrA
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8VYg1mk3N

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaPPuRYrrW

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXROfcP80gE

"Well, ya," I said as I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1VG6pdikC
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CRsem6w3P
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk33Vk7k9B
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfaGS3Mk9g

Lee turned to the window1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSjhX6FrgM
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5CACQjD16
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4vzYiB6tN

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfghmJhsFL

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tlJk2wJmo

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOfpdzYjfA

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAEV9HRkEQ

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1tWPklAAY

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkESrwWr9v

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdxmRQ0GLG

We made sure to keep a 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWUPpsHwZR
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKbrJcdvcY
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DBACw4pFH
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhFBBh4wGk
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQmhOCFOfo

They went down the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpE2BtFIK2
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLSuTXTlWe
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡappPsrwZun
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2SmKM8kl6

They were led by a 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOXlrN3HNt
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl6Vmz0V3O
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEk5fWKyGi
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ3I7wikN6
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoAdx1wGIp
restaurant.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSaySYOCkG

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZZ3YCQ8GO

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo6dgrQ45n

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV1cHwWpY7

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjKlrFuWm2

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUncNM1dxb

"Me neither. But what to1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE2ISjYqqS
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41n3nkRmBY
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOZiZzCTSu

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7d0iay6V5

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMjQSmJWv1

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GdbLOzK01

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemBWZeLkTZ

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpsQ68SNHD

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLocWXqgYcZ

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiaijmgL4v

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZs53elshu

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbKJsKYNMD

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEO40feGRv

"Don't worry. Seungri 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7i6EtIV2T
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NFQ4LZuDs
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIbzJK4NvQ
and she will know something fishy is going on."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphYrlayWFs

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvN8fqkY7J

"I hope so too."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R677fyuq4

Zoey's P.O.V1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta4qlbO5iC

I looked at the menu and1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIS71P6asC
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnnq245och
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX64S59SMlS
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiZWSJbQBH
looked up at me.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sZciOWh6v

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhtuf73Cbd

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPIZHb88n3

"Why?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvuURtCnMA

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRTBhI9nIs

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElxir7XIpL

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJZhwsNFEm

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwEPNLVx4W

"What?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXHfJU9men

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIX2fshtyn

"I'll try not to next 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt9hi1sOIH
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTnJpjOHzk
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHKJktvytj

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5KdH9YFSB

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYBGD5KYFL

"Not tell anyone."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfgTqCVdIE

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x8eih4sPu

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIU4OTln4L

"I smuggle diamonds."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7xSElL4Rr

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85BKxEWsxl

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5RW8mqb0Q

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t1YommiEH

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2wBAGSyID

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZzRiNT1Lb

The waiter came with our1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sBCF1e3lt
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF2R9vA5NU
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKKuFiIiCU

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6yiV4AMsI

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dO7lGOI24

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClaiFMvXXB

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVjFmyMfWQ

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwoYl42Vq6

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSD3L2mfAY

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUwPYY0Wuo

"Is that why you're so rich?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkFsA6y8oa

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJi5SANpmW

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpS2Q3LuVb

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVcoDLjqaK

I gulped. He was giving 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMnQISUTft
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlHx7jQpyY

I was waiting by the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXg1uiiqKR
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHhmRbsxgt
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK96fZpl1m
car? What was he doing here?1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUr8OY56nl

Seungri came out of the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxBmgF3Mq7
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSINX7VUQgU
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLSXlMeEuR
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDjQPndv7y
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2HjKM9xku
what I was expecting.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC8U35y7HT

I trembled. What am I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbpUKAS4cW
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p6stpoFJ6
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDX80pU89Z0
give Mr Teddy away.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh4OAAe4fH

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq4WlI0N71

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN04er5m1HU

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqlbu5R4Fv

"I, no....I," I didn't 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoVfk1RKT1
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLNhXqe0DC
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlzm7KZW9Y

"I was only expecting 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5w8mT87VM
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoKYleAhNu
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI1VJp5UZq
seeing the two of them together.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a3a1PkW47

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM4DTQMo2i

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux4xi1613b

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlodfln3r4e

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GOp3X7Lc7

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k7gYSrmCP

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D6kAtLExF

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesONnvyJ52

"Come with me," I said 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfUBm2pisC
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC3c5JYAo0
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88PjaEL1MS
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFQDecO86N

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIelan500w

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7isaxeEev0

"Hi, guys. You're 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTAcJ1qLc6
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJO6biYZWh

"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtfl68Hw3G

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpefkGDlAdg

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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVONw8PJktF

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UM07Z4h6G

that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9WVJOYKtc
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKwvOjm5cX

The five all turned to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZz1RoKenz
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs5u6CnOHn
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuV66D4Eyk
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j8ZHpGjfa

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aksBb0jpq

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH9jnV0wf4

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJwfFs3BVT

"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."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AuSviyLMx

"We were also wondering 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY6BB2p3AS
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1X0x2jBHY
them, but decided that I would rather not."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY42vFWEodq

"Why?" Daesung asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatYcn7aW9W

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljgBwHoV3s
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRI00cs4BY
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzqeSddCFe
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L5ORBevZs

"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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSQvhXqC49

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv7Zs4iXy0
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoCgNR6Jmi
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zaflUF0Ho

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWeUvzSjYD

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxUstUSSAH

Everyone turned to look 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscYxUFKpQn
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iBfZ2IQZZ
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQR56sehwL
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNazMmDQnWP

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKxwkmaY9k

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwwXdPpYe0

"Here you're now 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZmhCzaitg
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfv6wgzAMF
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNu4fLyxMp

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8SYHHFPsq

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGq0BpsEjo
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu2GCDhSGJ
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApyTifVbL2
something, quick.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXWt6Zs9TR

"Okay, fine, we will 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgn3pgovvw
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXY05RuKVo
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lVHMN2iLc

Yes. Finally. I thought 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtUrBtS1vR
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGbpn2gkVE
everything was going to be delayed.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKLnQKNq7C

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF93rU4zKtv

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp4Nd48H8m

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o2Hb1vevg

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbqfIWCAWX

As much as I wanted to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQiHwq78yJ
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWFBhWQuXr
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWqRc7HI9c

***1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdCJL1k6rH

Zoey's P.O.V1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqh6toWAHQ

As much as I tried to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MG7Bgpod2
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyCIayAzv5
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yJnAzTw50
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYS8c10nbO
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALsk9lZfyF

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk4NBxTO3l

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WjvXEQTc5

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ316rQrdHNh

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6jFfaFKzy

"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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZoplKCSOk

"What do you want me to 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dHgrXBDlz
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWxM36MftT
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3VLUMMG4s
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC9frTA15d

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVGnDgAF05

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LBYhmmDmk

Jehan shook his head and1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz9BmFv3Q0
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6H9XwtQvf
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmmykmtqdy
annoying."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3kL6FO828

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXHKlaYQ9C

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIb0sIxt5y

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3rHgRCpOH

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9OBcm6s7o

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfsRA5n3jx

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWXmedn2r6

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4kiqVt3YT

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9oqdlHUpS

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBEZTyS8C3

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy49697iAhd

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZYJBj4pni

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR1VcJY8L6

"Yes, for real."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkds3vMGF09

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lDES7QCb9

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ4SutGtCX
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSgSoPnfNX
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab3llBbrah

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BGn0CbUHl

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgd6OUjgiN

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgJPBTtXjQ

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jFEIxwZBx

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.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfGR06J9my

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhRb3eUi0F

"Zoey, hey!"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ducJZvLBB

Seungri? I quickly 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqr5y0xu8g
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswDodAOIqt
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKe0eqqCLF
here?1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOffWrmv02G

They came over to our 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20L5FJjEfZ
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHZxWz7ub7
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGlG2dlrf7
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EhXAnYSLb
to do now?1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FnXYqr4kC

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkQyBpgB7i

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdLRKzpldQ

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDW3WeIFVR

"Jehan."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKTcp4CKBU

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT8XlcDS42

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjm6O37VJ1

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mI76wB6IC

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNky40ePIw

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhpvsskjwh

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTBNL7lGHm

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GRLOXjJtN

I almost spit out the 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOrlDKQqDg
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCHt8YOam9
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jDp0pNRV8
to water.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryAxUwt4i6

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05JXeeQXRo

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4eInlEWUV

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy4jDBgSzj

Jehan looked at me and I1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQTvt7iGdf
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S8lkK70CM
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6BE1JYRaa

"May I ask what you're 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpr1UJcAYu
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fW8soRe5E
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbbYIddtKK

"Oh, we just came here 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2WXpZzwgW
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeeYw5WjgG
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklMIK9zn9j

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL77S5GwcLi

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbHY36heix

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xPbqWSlDB

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUjsmIiyJj

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsLgLag8YG

"Yes, we will," said 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU15u0SqMy
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKurhIHPhbX
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjNCkJyvzi

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53LhcxS2v5

"You too," said Seungri.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zIRM4RfsY

Jehan gave a small smile1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a2PIrJbCr
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKTiytRE2U
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZR9IR1JiZ
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxH0raTVBL

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HZcOucWbj

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBAL0rTLkv

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwgOIVH7Rl

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4MKaMAlNi

I wondered how I was 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzB27xQOhi
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO5aKdNNpk
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpfZO1rJ4N
head until I give the teddy bear away.1226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeOhrSGouA

This was just great!
