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 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvYfyowdhl
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6xaPLGiUX
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTicSnr0fE
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrALHFMmHip
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDSdjwgEsy

Last night, Zoey moved 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H4LnDyZN7
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXA5tGt0VV
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSv49MbPyV
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM7EQ0lHdr
talk to her either.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApa1DKIWxT

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoUxJQc6ed

It so happened that 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGQz4Sg3Vl
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxmtA4CAzX
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pvprypONr
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkEr1qMzWN
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMxrUoMG9b
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhdZC8M9jj

Now, I was sitting 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk7TNzFShA
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQBmkztB3p
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsgle0ouas
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi8MwYXgYB
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JtA1lme9o

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT696GtkTPu

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn1XdYQsmv

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR5fO6LkjD

"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?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Av4DeRklu

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZNRC7XNLM

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DZXPP5i2x

"Lee!" I whined, putting1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAWypu0HcJ
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ3mocsl6K
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbkV8gXDal

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8GzS7qxGe

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG6XbVw30S

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY2Xx8mCFG

"Why? I want to stay here."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWedJyelMx

"I need to go and shop 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmI5tePpYO
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUuwPorSvT
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnfO62qYbC

"But watching YouTube 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzdpVAdpaT
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXQQx8KfVZ
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhye4qddY8k

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkTcArZDAJ

"I think Lee is right, 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbWEh9AHhE
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw0WJl1Jah
out on Sundays like you do back home."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SIkzBVVsI

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDWCKbyNmk

"I know you're a fan of 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg7OwEmwhT
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElza9N8UZs
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3IZkayrQs

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r8aZFumIs

"Well, that's what 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVmMroRcn8
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fI3s9KU36
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOxQoZgQA6

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuTSBU7JSY

"That's what we are 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwviILbzcP
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcRPLEWLwj
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk5XzmSWBe
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusFrHcjmpe

Daniel's right. I had to1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQafqC9jyT
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWjiHY40Hu
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPbVOiaxvW
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tZP0HiENa

Unlike the others, Lee 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQM91ZRtnt
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHaeXxQYKo
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOIJVACN4k
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAjFrFj9ZR
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAU9cqJFBl
and Zoey together.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fvgOo7NTv

I really wanted to tell 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoG6LXfH2Y
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtgeYYvVnt
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbjFAOEflX
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIfjhaVU3y
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SmYdXTozo
When was I ever going to change?1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6nva2pgri

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7o2qu2MTA

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2g2J3D174

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbkaC8yx29

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEM586vP85

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bWA5ySYfi

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ON1apeD2J
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r6efg6AnG
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNwnoURk30
my room to get my shoes.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBtWaefWCN

After I wore my white 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q3wZ5VTlN
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYHf9cv69X
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapj4Zcs3h1
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m3vv7BJ7G
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefDYgpdTPs
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLujMNep5cd

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfzii5y4Sn

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMuuTjq75D

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCkxM7r0GM

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk92RqlrOM

"We can go, now," I told her.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIDRsU0fo5

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjeGa3psOD

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs6Dl3Pt9z

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFckcgh37m

I smiled back at him. 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqskSP5Y7fi
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNAtOYQj5D
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJaHlwMlR6
guards in the other SUV.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3QdpkZgBp

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfqwnUISSg

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW2BLE4bTQ

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D9A02geyT

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjjQb2t1Oe

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrkzIg7bsy

"To the mall," Lee answered.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIacpYqIoxU

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3UcbBOzUf

"What's wrong with the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi1pogThxf
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGVeXUu5Uf
best plans just come out of the blue."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNmbgWrerb

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrWrBiHd2x

"And waste the day away? No way."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABG8Z8yYaI

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveq9keh2xw

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHA16DCmQj

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRbMsViHa1

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa0wLz2RMR

"No. Zoey might have 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gTArAMPjs
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxmAiqbyZV
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOaBNcMKUv
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk79WY194sU

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfduVKn464

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pU8o3RTGV

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgayWd20Zem

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhOz94O0Sr

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYMr1GOzZs

"I don't know what to do1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5x0Z46jIw
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv92Q0Bgiqf
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0t6EDOwkJ
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HKjpuHpWY
somehow."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm8eeUS42e

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyFIZUG6FU

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPz1MMlYyk

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ANschlzxn

I folded my arms as I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxDXsb5oDB
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGxPpVRnjW
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmYJymEscu
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneBuKzNZ1Y
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Dlfk29VN

We soon reached the mall1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXSAUbIRrU
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3eu8T8mlk
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhYtOiDdHN
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq8sVy1PLK
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlT2QsqOAB
the bodyguards were around.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsM9ks86dg

Lee and I first went 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomC7mdyKb6
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Z4rIQ7AK
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQE6Su0YqY
a while. I was having fun.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ePloLEVvU

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.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNGoUUGakx

Lee and I soon came out 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMTyGIctlJ
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MdkheFbt9
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVljBQxaWh
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOfZPQTl4T
our bags because we bought way too much.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gefQarjNE

When we walked out of 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCj6DwbTgU
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0blQobtUN
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY1ZezMyZF
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCiLeZUxk2
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJzAlO2P3e

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YbUKcbw7V

I couldn't answer Lee. I1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnlgBh9oqx
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8MDf9qf2K
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkTBmpfoRY

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy36WtLfRE

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uwyrCfHGB

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWbxlxggg8

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnTo4gWvEb

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVuUpgX5KB

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEPszjLsZh

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1azgghquK

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0qoKYfx4E

I looked at each and 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8NRAn5fIG
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ou8LP7QrM
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDR6P2fkfZ

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8aNo6qHPI

"What?" Lee looked 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmXRao1VYF
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkou4NlNhZ9
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco936tNw3l
panda."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopF3QJhIa2

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwzd5Mv1Re

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6psKUzxDHN

"Derrick's brother sent 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vpLx4IUHH
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hesra1Du9
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSeQbvog7j
bear."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmq2HAjVX6

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMpsfOCu99

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVb25QKeuE

"I don't get it though."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTtC9KHY7P
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjENFAF5GE
so concerned about that small teddy?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzyQrZPjhc

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMvs1WnTZZ

***1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4DwyhMbna

Zoey's P.O.V1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuIUFogGE1

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvpdXwnsWl

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98rEsraZrO

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ovvh7BGcv

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7MIjj5rlX

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO0VTlunEa

"You moved out of the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK8x5yzvro
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QlXFBlWq6
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcBvp5Rb5S
of alien or something."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuR5TkT61s

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlAiJwpaJy

In a quick flash, a 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FqUxvWs4j
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi8u7WwLpK
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll9n7L6IQq

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsADWls3R2a

"Do you want more of 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpf3mujE9X
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4HyVqOzHh
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06KlFeA031

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWJHeAPGUg

"You got that right." 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3YbARJiwc
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4LooCi19I
ignore her like you're doing forever."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMzbeUM7Kt

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZdnVPBFb5

"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."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjuQfaAhzU

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64nzFkZzLw

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKWM623LCn

"It's normal for someone1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2safECVKGv
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xd57ytSPX
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQXiHmizuu
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMDMiTCsyY
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0k6M4newl
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b1zCKocsK

I always hated such kind1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWSeyu3pDq
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYGzuBJH9e
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdXyvRnAPi
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bovgtnXWw
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23eQ20qyjz
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk1RO5tZ68
nothing.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumHiez8YM9

I've never told anyone 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9N6tDq19Q
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJYY91Oq2O
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lIgvytqQc
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5KCgp80pD
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnutkS3UWvr
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57LDvj9qVn
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NdtpTriPp

I am Yin and she is 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH5c8C6nSh
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpBs5BqSly
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvvVbOCZER
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFLtkxMLkl
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDFGvztZPI

And now when I needed 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EgdqKRtsw
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t7gJwab22
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxqHHR3U7Y
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU35xQAB1U7
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0vwqdyXsM
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA5Uj6LUXH

It all begun when I went1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj8qhgUI2T
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeUp0UkQwv
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rIxypU23F
this mess.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOVTkG5zV8

We were having so much 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnr19WtRet
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fZSKwvQcO
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dTUl3iCtX
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY1rWgPUUF
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNrwiFvxJz
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzS47qUFSa
things did go wrong.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7epwrL4hO

As we were watching the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeapeTwdC0
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6hV3AR7hx
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1xZjNHWKV
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSZOuiTDVW

When I looked at him, he1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFUoopkL22
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoThxN1Q14Y
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDDVA4ffev
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj80bWJFgP
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGU7Duhlrf
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkkExukays

After the show when 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXKSWGy4kO
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ64ipw2lE
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRFYMf4vmd
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXY2Kxp8Yk
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w2znZ4fxa
take a few minutes.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddGwPX4L4y

I didn't find anything 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchzXRzc1f7
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRkkZ05H13
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxkmpo0NpU
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh8HE2LDTu
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYFWsud3Ci
too much.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90ss4yUtFh

Jehan led the way out 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5eXo5lMHv
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf0Sb70jMf
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCulHxPmXS
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8oGyape8F
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkETHUbgRKQ
that I felt a little safe.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKDcjNsoFs

The two of us soon found1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt2eReNooC
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhaD3IWfQV
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI2qjUdFg1
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92yyC3LJ56
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhO7hcnUYZ
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgoskzV9m6
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OyDLRKaut
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqQsQaKRBS
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjkdVEhP3G
menacing.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQOyZXi9uK

He gave me something for1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo6fwrgCiW
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeRZCgw4nk
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyRBU5CkCC
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedR4whgFfU
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxgIlliHnI
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZM05S0eJx
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxqk7W2gd6

Whatever he sent me that1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDvpw3Eit6
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Cxi4NT8v
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrgCoAYEqK
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw5iC8mrca
happened yesterday.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ti6ymv94n

I had never been in this1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5PylmKs8u
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83EHYn1ImM
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlKMWuS89E
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUPwXpEiJ1
crying out loud. I had to do something.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK50FDWDpq

My phone rang bringing 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZqBvFEbDW
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeuVZ4kgIb
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLQa0kuwEv
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFXgSzeLoH

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P0Z2ur99r

"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.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RT6kS0DDI

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WDcmG5r7J

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb685dA3KNo

I would have told him to1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2tUA5j09Q
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjMQWyFalT
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rILrf5wBA

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCLmefIGFd

"Looks like you aren't 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLRJGywjMF
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINbkELsZkh
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNSMBVVZu1

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9mG3gFkiZ

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6dM4x77KY

"Just get to the point, 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFtIefeBcv
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jZCLBwrh4
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69D8G1K9uv

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3ChNXeehg

"Today? Are you serious?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuWz94wewK

"You know that I am. We meet today."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCL0OXcqRI

"But where?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BPLZH809P

"At the mall."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBVtqqSEZl

For a moment I almost 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJtUOoeQmk
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL77nXJaa37
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61HdK2Dk5g
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPv322dvZt
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3NtXLzy8m

"What's so funny?" Jehan1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC46jSDE0V
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZz1rm8dcc
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhmlZBzTid
myself.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOye1xN2T0Z

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYykrzpj1JE

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi46YBUsA58

If he thought saying 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORt2Y3LYHr
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3H6lVuMXp
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVXJ9yQ3PZ

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlbSIUYx3W

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42qLEgPAdl

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjo6zw9efw

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd5KpdNYBP

"Ya, sure."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS4b0ZjSXa

Jehan didn't say 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILzV3zG4OW
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeUDV1rLqP
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpzrMTbTM2
Typical.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eMy7TmtGp

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0vCwzrjbZ

"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."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT63WZhAe3v

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PMvOvTGFI

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnRAGGKET8

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3qi1aor9b

"Why? You think I would?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zrTaOdimh

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRJMVErr2h

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ZUCDrxRj

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYwVMxw756

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGftN3QLpW4

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmVyJhExkW

"That one. Where is it?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2KIVTiDgF

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqE7O9ItWZ

"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."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zkEHUlOdO

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNh5cisPz2

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu1yAMeD78

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuRjOi07vc

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4yqSso4PY

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeou6Z5Ia5D

I quietly went over to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAvG9U9LAz
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVNUGP1OGw
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSWvJaeavk
soon.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpPiGubXOm

I came to the drawer 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXCgtwg4fU
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl5wr4KnTV
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJs6fQTmkz

I looked at her bed and 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0IvKh5ad2
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9693LHdZCx
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSrjwYJXR0

"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."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnPVY3sEex

I heard the tap in the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9iGvAegKo
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC47RxLHZ1A
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvJpwdbvDo
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nRuF2k13k
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsrVMs21l6

***1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzH6ZIwmEZ

Sam's P.O.V1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BUpGIZgkd

"Do you really think 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVlSYcVXEM
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTn0BxPtpp
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewPXIbXmoS

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7iMU1EU9L

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2axSZmJaKH

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UoQcGbyMz

"I hope it's not drugs."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zdla0FgQO

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpqfBM8cG5

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ3RmTthkl

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GfsdvRFXZ

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94PWnhUgfp

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XxhojCHn6

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHRqPNkogr

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hRXgufdjB

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYQjQYYAGm

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGAC3W8Gj5

"Zoey."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLhyxPJVhI

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxisLoH2kp
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7FQyxRDsb
they couldn't because of our little fight."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6IQRjZpEu

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5THdmpKUUg
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3nS8ARDRj
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96OLraa8j4

I raised an eyebrow at 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1RKv3FqMd
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsPQ5nX2tI
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNGUQJEhdK

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn92lW16L4
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2KUfb9joU
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbxvqL3FK3
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTH2sTV0f6

"About what?" Lee asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOtgtln7Hm

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeAINTkrnU

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwDXcDozUZ

"But today might be the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak5T3u2G95
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrV9pKCgVT
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0nur7QuQo

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRky54WqYoa

My heart rate quickened 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXA3FmKDtk
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTQ0Ftdfv5
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZHTTv77jB

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNnboi1k3p

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLXtPPxvnd

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnBa3ZlTpd

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmwxsPFMBx

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiznRf2qbx3

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwxApeEqp4

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3zDwikLyJ

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKm1NnvqVw

"Alright, thanks, 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHblIKZ4nOB
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeohEJzzLiR
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8HcTbcYCe
Seungri."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnexeUaqMsJ

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgliVrGlWaL

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjubhi97qCC

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM2S3lpikV

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvD72L520U

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKjJSyha7r

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanNkw9eq9h

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoks4ethDP

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99f8bhrDuG

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUm9bzT12G

"Yes, I am." I could 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubOcFArXuV
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvRBniN69F
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPpgR4h9xF
perhaps?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgXnr9yOaB

I rolled my eyes and as 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VxgsculTU
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTn5N3JgXt
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EgsvOOG2H
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnprVRinG7

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeMt6CG3X2

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjudDdJhRx

I bit my lower lip and 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJFz38KOhC
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSaTWyPA9z
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3gEup2UuL

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2xlftayW7

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSzTSEnzO3

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFkTVfEbxb

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU3N7nO6YA

"Bye."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KDlWXJ3XB

"Bye, my little kitty."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaHLALiguv

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPqBD6BXYK

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoPeg267qU

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPGeoS6zWh

"Nope. And he isn't 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4KBmeYnBO
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIv1sxvX8z
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BElRJViKX

"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."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcldpDCkBR

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zKg3CltzW

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LtpKwoMg6

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZtant8TGC

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5FMVVW4IZ

"Tell me about it." I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz1VhKCfZW
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jAPeQbe4M
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNtPRRBEsW

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jiiDs0y9I

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbEUhTzQOD

After we were done with 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslUghOmuyq
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsyFzYRtME
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKta4mUjfwr

As soon as we walked out1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU15MaFlTE
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbztQ0n8SLP
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ByMsvMaJF
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPyDaSwCe2
looking black suit stepped out.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8qYbKd1Hy

Time seemed to have 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCIqWxfSVY
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAALTDveKOz
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHmFCWAJHL
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2A1ROSPz4
something familiar about him.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5nWj3Xngb

Just as I was about to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nYNnEheRp
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULT8vxqE8L
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC8WWK6LbE

I almost tripped and 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR7M2zLJvd
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5MA9l7yPN
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGXYqLn85Y
me from falling.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSQdrFnA7e

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFohgS76ZcY

I didn't say a word as I1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEnWxcd829
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9huGFzZ13m
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG7TxWlYTJ

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSzwTUnEJJ

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUOVwUvKYe

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznYS5KMNMZ

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT0chc6HwU

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomM9XMPSPB

Narrator's P.O.V1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiqM6SSp0C

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbN1oyrzVP

"Hey guys, am here," 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAQcjvgMTw
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BL95tThzB
look downcast as though someone's just died."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd1d6AV7rx

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvfN0COZGw

"This is getting real 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtt7NTRtSh
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeCqYeKe9B
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL819P4FplD
her or with anyone of you."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyEtZs1qq5

"No, I think now is the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY571BPyOES
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisHRkH6ENs
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCD5RNmoUf

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4ZlhtPKCD

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsWE907oF0

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZhfhP7HvR

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Pw7mrPxm

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCd9cJujGZ

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmhSOpy6Uv

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDKRNUNocx

The others rolled their 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyzTVztHOQ
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAymLdrzqOp
around and now wasn't the time for it.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQPkO043vI

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBenJwlNNX

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg2c5hOI6u

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldLsTAdlk0

"Well, maybe," said 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RlIKGVBmq
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzDivVEboc
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFXPPVugOr
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfawaPyAvVi

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcYXLw0CFc

"When I saw Daesung and 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOVjJH3kWL
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHkXvfE0uP
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CgwNWBGNh

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfaL8hGrr3

G-Dragon didn't answer 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI4cYkNFQi
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMTCeqKFM1
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCPbjXgCCc

"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."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorZ5IyaBKa

"What do you mean?" 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSHdC1HllF
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzkBEYrm90
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvlYUKjmMJ

"She was just doing that1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZSwBVJ8Iv
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt84AUe38T
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa6r8WCTI4
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcikG3M2O78
be together."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtnvnRehQy

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblB7a1aWkH

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd6UDTMTIC

All the four BigBang 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvWALJU7tS
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjnuzV8C95
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM80dmWCk3a
heard him come in.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Di6diHjg5

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDqkK9jYUR

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxiPLJCEf2

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTx7fJkF6b

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksntefInsa

"I'm not going to stay 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GZYsd5QlS
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZdCfmpOs5
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn4rfttpWP

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFlSQhhIZz

"No, I don't."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuumBw69nn

Before G-Dragon could 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT47DwSjqA
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkNG4dv7YN
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw26pssAfZi

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRE5SzpaCN

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxL9wmmbKe

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqUUFC9yoS

G-Dragon folded his arms1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oqGvPwxSj
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv4rspd46w
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h8qvsdgMC
stared at the ceiling.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsmh2BYyAL

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGASM7W6kA

Daesung came into the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWkHDO2yYS
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HsIMcnCLS
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvX5PnTSP3

"Look, I know you're 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwPZOYAiqZ
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpsVPhVP46
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnGrczFlEF
never told me anything either."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1x9jPtk3p

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosKgdVgmGk

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTYSUH1tsG

"Why?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1JOv7ZCCo

"She just felt like it 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHx7RS5Afw
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jVwwYrxjU
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj7s9yrPAd
long distance relationships will ever work out."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw63GmPjrNM

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44K8uXOQts

"Because I know I'll 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOBxVVNCPd
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvYWtJpoDl
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEmLtXXbhG
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LNB3pFkc7
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlSxgIgvgx
want to hurt anyone either.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV0Agqzyvn

"Maybe that's why she 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleMomrKbAn
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgRdnNl4No
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHapva9R7II
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBEBvpUJZx

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd8qPeRhUg

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ4GVq9Vhq

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7vsnF41nV

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUacVzyoiL1

"I know."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlekXUiMk5W

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdFFCptxb7

"I'll think about it."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmesy3OcMTm

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn1OoAPVnv
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw8tR8cJem
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk6m05hs02
the mall."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YcRn8iw3p

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFahl5WMmH

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PUJrTyz4O

"Ya," said Seungri, 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpuEm9N5MC
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVCH3hiW1M
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9amRo0EsQK

"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."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYxLSjPy3f

"There is no time to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDBzmpsUHa
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zQlU2q0Je
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6b7v6WcNt

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsoSGDI8OL

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnp07E446b

"We're your best 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68a7GLbS4s
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9cPWTxiq7
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi3OPJMgCI

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMQD4bxxJG

Zoey's P.O.V1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi3Lv5zi8d

I came out of the black 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FaYIgEucx
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTBMBWvhAl
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9dHFFatR2
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXj5CEdRLh
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXIOWmZ6sN
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0rROjj72N
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX0vKmMuNm
by my fans.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXNRXRGhnp

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X4s1AQGOh

"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajOaay9xIm

"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemxPvGVQsE

"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZp5xix2uf

"Okay."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPVa5wqsps

"Did you bring what I asked for?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMVdiyO9c6

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EBwpFm5TI

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2iUHgxMBB

"Well, I'm glad you 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqtZQj0In4
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWbdxijtKp
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgsAYf2C5U
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FycshU6t4
lot smarter than you think."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTCiyp6fOP

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEMrkkQnvg

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFBPLjYPEz
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56qN7C179s
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVPbG5CVGY

When I went into the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3NsUWb3Uc
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeblZ1bHt6
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELIKQlxf5p

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31psMmBHZr

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zDy6FCDJk

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YevmI72DP

I shivered. Despite his 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrq6wXy0Xu
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrvcqWeDSL
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsmSYrvAXU
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dV93D8x9t
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5vHSU1LMj

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQYUnY7WMu

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONKnU8T6VT

"Why do you need to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EUqzg0dNA
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eGVZvKCeR
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yEqDPpaim

"Well, I need to know 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfopOHSp1W
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGrnAklfEf
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnyLurHO6w

"And tell me, why should1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYeXvJziX0
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGazgoi448y
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4asQdFPFMF
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPthoTmJUtE
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllVfdcRvyP

"I...eh..." I looked him1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXnWXXwMMd
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AM9Sa538r
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CD1iJ7qdo
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwyJ8NH5h3
the kind who would send such a thing."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeeI67zqNq

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKrbP0NLyy
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7VTrSfghB
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS2oKEcjJn

"I don't know." I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoZ6DMvyhB
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUUyImAwPk
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6sAitN6bV
up to?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjG6PPRNPg

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypC53vgIcW

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0QR4U5TD9

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiC0vZObNz

"What's the matter with that?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE0K4xUObx

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l3y56DQGw

"Don't test my patience,1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbGQKKAwLq
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFgkFc79cL
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSJtS6RTjC
think you deserve to you know."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw99V25EDo5

"Well, yes, I do."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowe6lRZPhm

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l7iPr1TDX

***1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ8aVlAop5

Sam's P.O.V1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg005slTqj

I could see Zoey from 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2do5h9saOI
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Pt2iYEPJ
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTJWmaPJ0b
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRupB3I5Fw8
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6yq29X2vz

I was entirely grateful 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTcm4iq3CA
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADwocLksB8
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA8yRiibwR
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZt3LQYLHm
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDypD2J3Y7
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnwBwVu83J
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjNWgFdA3C

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAey5OShTHZ

"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.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEM3r5Pozy

"But how did you know 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUf0EldQhf
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8brSUs7VZ
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCFf34FXv0

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmtkUAhf9g

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4bu5kXoLg

"Well, ya," I said as I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuUpH6memy
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHB0wc6WcV
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkFMORA31Z
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCLdZNEaxl

Lee turned to the window1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45ThdS1Dhc
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCarygS6vie
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN0s4l90gO

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJgNGpTaT0

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡengPpGCcb0

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wCGNYoe2D

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuTv9DEml5

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4cCPhV1FR

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBTTrYLxCI

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8yAxgQm5y

We made sure to keep a 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv27PRk6t9m
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hEAKHCMaR
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXpYfpTjgJ
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK33W2mblI
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0IMjcgV3L

They went down the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZT0YuA3SB
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFXHY3hgv7
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUTa4HhpfX
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhTva2IM1W

They were led by a 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeccjKvXfB0
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMsGgHxVOv
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhUMgdXpvq
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu3gRLjhuM
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXdJBSN2tE
restaurant.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLQYqjPo2F

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1tiZH1fQx

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW7Mvje3ft

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD5JZleLMH

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo81WEvgx0

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEFBuEudsp

"Me neither. But what to1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntKUmop8zs
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyiaASB9XE
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqE1vh7E3t

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXq7jckmh8

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7XjnMpmBR

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkZNc6Rry8

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY7ENP3yLH

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX84oZrAbxo

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkeBqzTgVq

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fUlmSWISA

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaSOkG3IWB

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUqbRVKct1

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0edRAo0jG

"Don't worry. Seungri 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo654fIcnuf
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RxAVDD48J
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA7vVp81QW
and she will know something fishy is going on."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXUx4a9G2N

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23AaFpmymW

"I hope so too."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz2r7L4Ino

Zoey's P.O.V1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUYfHO8hK8

I looked at the menu and1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkjHWAEOYH
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNaTBAGpKh
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9FL8a9peR
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGCQGGrF5G
looked up at me.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCd4OHPgKa

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyVhV63tMq

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz8capZFIq

"Why?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ96hAkNZO3

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE8xLVvlFJ

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5edI33z9j

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoAwoRWmob

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnx9ouaVOO

"What?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5DLk1BbLz

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFpLAMrAqO

"I'll try not to next 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTxYwt61rb
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwurdVKGDfk
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmhsK3QmHu

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID7uRENMYn

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLpcKZ7DSd

"Not tell anyone."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQWtXTvCMj

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQbe3X5Zxa

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFhcKouhF5

"I smuggle diamonds."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEdxWn2GIs

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBRVnhrP6c

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz057tFmn8K

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifBUZZxBIq

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLZuDL1XTx

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEszPQLSIF

The waiter came with our1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfpgRleo7K
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0Ymu8b3ap
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T5cSnuVtD

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOWx0ylONz

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe49n4zSQi

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqgKTVcFO1

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9qw8gg0b0

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dqiqxhRae

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK602NSqSo

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zkx3Z63EI

"Is that why you're so rich?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ1Tet1dnX

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1UQ1hLVU8

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqDeq6mG0s

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmhGT67jBN

I gulped. He was giving 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NrEABytPr
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmZdvhWtpc

I was waiting by the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56MoX410MI
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pqrJYO9eS
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxkRoPftZX
car? What was he doing here?1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9EErBFW0b

Seungri came out of the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEAoIFdNCa
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkCE0X8bcW
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu7R8Q7TCv
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTnk0v8Qws
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcvjjYH5xl
what I was expecting.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfCAaQjVIa

I trembled. What am I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaHET0vPKC
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qhqg16DG0
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ5Npv04Nu
give Mr Teddy away.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG2JAjUM25

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5vgRNAy3n

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA3wYxdG35

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqWVQuCYin

"I, no....I," I didn't 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHjuOG6ZdA
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkieoOedlc
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4acRb4ChQ

"I was only expecting 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdeedduhKq
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTBmGinNoA
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSJh3HrzLp
seeing the two of them together.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGxCuQxiiJ

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySsjaarSJO

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWZVLLQdN5

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqgc8RTqF0

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC24FdPl4v

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW6uVY1f4b

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWypxgOLfez

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqALsMnRdl

"Come with me," I said 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbepbr0rHCT
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMIHFdfUyD
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Trb3MDr6O
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiYQH0TsVG

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPzQ5vppmW

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLr6UBMzRM

"Hi, guys. You're 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSHVseaPaG
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCo2F0bgCM
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoclLCDnhCp

"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBMuBWgFTA

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkYe49Y1aJ

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.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ADzNPmoTw

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML2gg3iw7W

The five BigBang members all nodded their heads.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpfuqXcfXY

with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZAjsMtbgi

look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLwasPwr8t
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ5cgzNne8
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMGNb5yPJw

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZVJIDt29d

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQY8XJ8HWC

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DOi7SdCMj

"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."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuaLjMVLte

"We were also wondering 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrc4cD8Uyh
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUbFm9HeYI
them, but decided that I would rather not."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7382DqO99

"Why?" Daesung asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcoKpVbgwu

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHoYmNiFYJ
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyNjKqrmzI
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWd2XmTOcw
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1x1f2PJ04

"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.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt32G0GIop

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk68AVwqCOG
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJIOir8Uuq
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsgo9ZIGMM

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjdalREOKO

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7DI6P1QIk

Everyone turned to look 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqZWfENNwb
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0n5g9KqS6
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXmPG5v8rg
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilm418HRO2

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CbojYgPDO

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW4MFiKio2

"Here you're now 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6j4dZSIfu
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wkSdM7qZv
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQEJKQ1wuI

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7YwTgIixZ

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWqpbRWcJW
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lM9dh4hkZ
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyerIG6KeDP
something, quick.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzthb9O14ev

"Okay, fine, we will 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPypWWH4l7J
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19Z2rSVORs
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA1J7HGIuX

Yes. Finally. I thought 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm3usZULDB
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS7D9KJ3Z5
everything was going to be delayed.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPQaNmk2CB

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOTIqYHKMc

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYdruyTrrN

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8drG4m47tW

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MNlm8VIqi

As much as I wanted to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f6P3VeHB6
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHaooc3GMx
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQZ3YLbRA7

***1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgZRkCf821

Zoey's P.O.V1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eVzEms4Uk

As much as I tried to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN3r9N91ZS
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ni9KulOFs
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16INJcmdta
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SC7T78wsc
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHClpZdKmH

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLBVho6GN3

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oTdAbr2xQ

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElv1uyU4c4

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBWoCrb8Qn

"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.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDHOgKcGCA

"What do you want me to 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT1qF4xd52
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjNt0Y0Eiq
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrfCQc2lf0
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXSexuLmYl

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9ACrVu5rh

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSydrDrJHk

Jehan shook his head and1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRkNAsU4rP
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwydDReJSG
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAicsxeW2IY
annoying."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAkUxJhVs4

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kPefS5gOM

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl9WzpjF0H

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfLovwVHXI

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdsjJaNOM3

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPPXQJj63a

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NzZPju18e

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2BjxWna2m

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbXDdRcLi3

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhCIvUnTNQ

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT77C1YIIJT

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjde3VKQvq

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WDPQL8RzK

"Yes, for real."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzFmEn5fxc

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF4b790N8B

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2tgu8inzX
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYohLfZNh3m
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmelIFovEa

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHagddibEg

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QRzGvGJaj

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4ZReIz2wf

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjumBeK6ekA

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.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHN4KtaqzQ

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMjnJ7oFfK

"Zoey, hey!"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJB96RvRCU

Seungri? I quickly 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pn5nqabwg
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ5GrPeEnA
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpj8qVXfdg
here?1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RdrP1cgnk

They came over to our 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KOOuMMAcn
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF38VG9Lm9
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjTzrvM6U3
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupdqRPLByI
to do now?1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZEg8GqQ2F

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HgplzpDW4

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzX7jhm9N3

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq65KbWTsj

"Jehan."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVULo7mkZCJ

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5coRp7CjM

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0sYngyetg

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWnO7fni0w

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPvBYOnHRG

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqPmaRFrfG

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZcZccrVEr

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTnBpWh52W

I almost spit out the 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPeNthF2yi
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZU9zH321n
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPMap0uHtX
to water.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf7SWaVh0Z

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblulLuSPAZ

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlXYzkTg5H

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nXSQbhxQz

Jehan looked at me and I1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fzKiGHVn8
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq1SyVvbjI
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wHvQRN0Oi

"May I ask what you're 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSznR9aLK4e
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD14tpH3fB
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNdjfb9qtb

"Oh, we just came here 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgra00QyFGK
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJe3pKph6S
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQORrl8L0A3

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyVYuTQUoZ

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bwnff9qVw

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Vdcm5oX6

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyAvSuU9ly

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01bsm2irFJ

"Yes, we will," said 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUN8R5wo7T
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq9QVKOxPV
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN1ZnEpu1p

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDRIjYKSbJ

"You too," said Seungri.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ON9lCNzgd

Jehan gave a small smile1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUgUovZg6H
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPxIO6hVMp
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFKG2eaJHy
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aMhiEdAkx

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXn0qYTX9R

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbF2DsX2qB

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CyUm15lYp

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4uTLYtwOC

I wondered how I was 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9x2rMo8CH
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2dFPsbBSN
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O0jruF4VP
head until I give the teddy bear away.1177Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9mWqa7JPN

This was just great!
