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 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUNzjkUldi
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUYp4tqTC2
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrsV1VJ8nm
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm82lz2UHQ
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCJBMMvgUl

Last night, Zoey moved 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloJ5sNTmzI
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiFoJRw71f
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqh8HF3kPS
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtbKTIHE9L
talk to her either.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVebDdZsvD

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi642zOwC1T

It so happened that 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalfnuNQc32
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSAVjcn98g
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqYNkHjbdg
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bGlutocLN
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCZCGNhJ8s
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW9CT1PnbY

Now, I was sitting 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbPJWxDPLi
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvjJY6NhSO
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve234EsS67
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6urLurW6hA
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeIR6phZKM

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYARzQsoE1

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVwTaTyoed

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyWHkTUZh6

"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?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf5eNEXu5u

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh95Gs3aEjE

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVGaJOC71h

"Lee!" I whined, putting1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi5KSV8jwy
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aTxasBkdE
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouGmSiczbx

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoqWOZT52I

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAzhDfR2XJ

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo1YYAXzRt

"Why? I want to stay here."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr8SwIicSa

"I need to go and shop 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5BI57kot9
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXToL3v2DX
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3BkRGujdf

"But watching YouTube 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VvHpY3mrx
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8YIZP1IOu
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d85x7DVso

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjweCiFcoB

"I think Lee is right, 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UFelkQZ7a
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZqmqmCwil
out on Sundays like you do back home."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx18Gt8cvOc

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB970e8WamN

"I know you're a fan of 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7SveFGblI
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4POg7DMEi
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnjkqKkH3P

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd7iw8exV9

"Well, that's what 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQajs9rdIDZ
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYV0IZDegf
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37FbrXOHj0

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYjq1UZnll

"That's what we are 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPuX1WUsx3
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8all6WuEO6
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NaWq0SuAK
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cgb0aboKC

Daniel's right. I had to1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqnRA4NP1l
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmsHHg3Ap2
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm4TekTjBn
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0qlpYXVyG

Unlike the others, Lee 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s59Sgbr8S
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHABU4cN6zD
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KTi3sqbTZ
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Y9Cmw6WVM
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe1Z5759lG
and Zoey together.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2RjOt3mhw

I really wanted to tell 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuktGNxDk1
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvU1cU4Zt5
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqidmfVBz0S
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QSptdq4xY
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzLGoK6zU8
When was I ever going to change?1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt2xKV6P6T

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKh0NS2Sz0

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLcd2J2pFw

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW1nvNvIQh

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C4JBGECv5

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnCdvzc6Jq

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAyj89kVtu
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLLfz9tZ8M
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3C173bPoM
my room to get my shoes.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvfGVy8KU7

After I wore my white 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6PoYFbmHt
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiA8DHizVN
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWbsjjJjBT
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuCFWzrdIa
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw7nprGwN8
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm5d27z2om

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2jonmkusW

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULM06aBxIV

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HTl98Pdff

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyX6jqwZyl

"We can go, now," I told her.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNudmPUbL0K

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnpXGm1DLo

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ultion9pe

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGrNtlZxUv

I smiled back at him. 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z7KLuOG84
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5FimVCRv0
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduAXHI0U6N
guards in the other SUV.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIjKmeHP4z

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHfSaitvp2

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWcwEc6jrW

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV7TMerf5v

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oZjaVCB4K

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0cGrwRLAe

"To the mall," Lee answered.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFH2Ct8Yrd

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMugoBPHqz

"What's wrong with the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMJD2Y7HFs
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ846qCCTd0
best plans just come out of the blue."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ665S8iJdOn

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaWl0jDupO

"And waste the day away? No way."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxxyLyHJPc

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9XpRWb1Io

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2B47oDuc6

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76DcPRARIP

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNCLJBdg0b

"No. Zoey might have 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gVSYlE9dd
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l4owVrYAG
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcli0b4bcir
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw7dUAxdnv

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rZjub8HJX

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TIPoIhTyy

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6B8MyjfRn

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvpxlrSapW

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UWcVdIOSy

"I don't know what to do1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqTvBJuQY8
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAahyuUkcH
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAMWeay6Sa
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CJZ1yYoOp
somehow."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoktymiQSGw

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ0mKDlHtq

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYrJHf9Qqw

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauMZVagaYa

I folded my arms as I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmteXUm83M
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJD2dVX5gx
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xad3W13do
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG86FrxJM3a
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUiPQVBUZu

We soon reached the mall1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoYRMq0mtH
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaugI9wNPBM
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthUlJYKBgy
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MwFkLkowZ
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlESd096FcI
the bodyguards were around.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIy2sg62nS

Lee and I first went 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwauelXaq9N
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN4h7yTGrX
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAa70A67PR
a while. I was having fun.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieFKqpy8dw

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.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPr5NVcPCm

Lee and I soon came out 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDAevF2WIp
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwpY7hkvfQ
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74HwQGhhuo
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnNOlnvN5A
our bags because we bought way too much.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV9Z0Itjgt

When we walked out of 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguRt01cSdT
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyNDDGWlk0
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjN9qMZuyt
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO2st0Eg6Y
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wC6r5JLed

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FZMdPHN17

I couldn't answer Lee. I1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcoqyOYXN6
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcD0XBKXQC
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZm6aYrwKA

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiasYx9nUTH

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyPFRT8ZtK

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsMF1O7Ifa

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNhtA0w4vb

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cz2pqaGBX

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLI2XH58fl

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ227TSHekfh

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnCoBYaqna

I looked at each and 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR391j4iVwb
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVgF4oeWM9
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViaMnLVfTk

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavQYYpKXUa

"What?" Lee looked 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsaLiC3X6b
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMOePBoEDY
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQaEiTeTqv
panda."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnvhlooM5k

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrwQMArTrs

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8rcjmkSk4

"Derrick's brother sent 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCoSkdekXE
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmiZGwLld8
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a0YQwT84e
bear."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatSzX9MPWC

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvVcAIFu0u

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNbABCORBO

"I don't get it though."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdIZnBRxtP
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX9GJMZm7P
so concerned about that small teddy?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZhlg00Yyi

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ7oHJQxfs

***1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfd9mBgJDf

Zoey's P.O.V1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuL8aVyqaG

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngoEDuvDk1

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpksyspofA4

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcZTFztnQi

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0QpBaT7ZL

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeALCa77MI

"You moved out of the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFYW5OwQfy
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrBtb7td1S
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3h9zOJ5Xh
of alien or something."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NIxAabAxr

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT59Lvi01G3

In a quick flash, a 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ250xKjP3Qz
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDqVEDv5C8
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVcNL09Ywk

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlbGmZJbtG

"Do you want more of 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01WJlFbaMb
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeZfQUFNWM
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5cIB3MmwU

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp51ife9OT1

"You got that right." 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTozc5A7BBC
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim8i1RKWv9
ignore her like you're doing forever."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCFGxEmGfC

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzQEnweZP0

"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."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnPqo8z3pj

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8GJvQv3J3

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKCOyut9HD

"It's normal for someone1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TW0CmQmf4
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtjoPeCQbR
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxwrY6xgw6
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLF6o3o1G7
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCfahAjDkN
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEdlxfXxTw

I always hated such kind1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZrtaFYGGF
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLy3Xduuwx
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbmzrfX2fE
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0OnPNdMGP
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5ZRveGC9G
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEvRijap89
nothing.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6xwoJprRH

I've never told anyone 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXP2BoqsF3
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG40w7fB04K
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgNHpy5XYh
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd5tkpH8YT
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TRVMuYqED
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHScUvnARxS
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15fMkz0xRL

I am Yin and she is 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNHep1N7YN
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO4ixHolCL
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHANa9Sd1EX
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2SGYU2igh
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq7w8uLkCd

And now when I needed 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNaeQhTB2I
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGbxO6eOsb
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNBU1xXDj3
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AMFHXysMh
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF5MFzQG7j
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKGTYmn7BG

It all begun when I went1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4dRcNESpt
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhZOXIdnnW
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSjgSnGaiY
this mess.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQtjWNsJNB

We were having so much 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWi0z3iXi9
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOkbVdhKlM
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfNoRXLuEH
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVDsbTeTos
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqsI09PeaS
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAb6jNSASc
things did go wrong.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhw5tP2n73

As we were watching the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7epPMshZA5
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K4uX1HQfN
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuuyYPKyNf
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2M2jlftlk

When I looked at him, he1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdAvugkvfq
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVEC72pEre
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fyZq1Pkw3
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IqJwU4YHb
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7fg8vh1aA
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWpCchR2GD

After the show when 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9liVKuG79
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvE6wGUuEV
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaIJtPGJpg
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0fzlOgP9K
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VfKP5xNwe
take a few minutes.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AniFrGeLi

I didn't find anything 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlJX5TgNsz
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ6ISw2oLH
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlA3mMZ2rR
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJeS1BnGjS
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaupv84VbE
too much.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF7lhzmiGn

Jehan led the way out 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrTU2RvaP3
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYRiFozFF5
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6KTlWJyVW
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPueSamHAKO
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlElCxoOI3B
that I felt a little safe.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgjgZVHlJO

The two of us soon found1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluSiwA6T32
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdECgnnFig
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN289JPUWXp
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oqt6WCzO4
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B9bXb3E8G
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHdJGS5hqi
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7D3lLzn5R
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmktjUZmeZ7
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mRuMeVbxc
menacing.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpzu6A3Gsk

He gave me something for1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bBERiZOIs
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nmNBXlIC1
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaUiIvQubX
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxASWK9pbG
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMnbWQgnBL
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPiFVZIt5Z
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT5FnAhFJp

Whatever he sent me that1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTc3fGfCu7
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY5F1XIFeo
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQbApIasnP
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0aWdAlLGJ
happened yesterday.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JV3aS5riW

I had never been in this1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCGWPvkw6D
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfHsx7U2rW
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00GE6i8tnp
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFnW7dpBh6
crying out loud. I had to do something.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH09KJvBkR0

My phone rang bringing 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GPiF7Y38E
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm7moDLzTc
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R3hK5wGYt
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0kiZ7Ql1E

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQYVb74Gtb

"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.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FUy9INEnK

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLOHE3oCbA

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjEky9jOYk

I would have told him to1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsCE4p0cTe
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWiKMOVIQa
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxtZSqTPR0

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE3TVg56rC

"Looks like you aren't 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPvK7yQHPO
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a3SC6KXRS
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3QSDbLEee

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWgTOSxV70

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaWNEBtNSv

"Just get to the point, 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD8amitOCo
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDQLxmzL3j
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9bT3Vsh1V

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpgAx2pmO7

"Today? Are you serious?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbrosjTIE5

"You know that I am. We meet today."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzTc9AqHUi

"But where?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctUJQ2e70M

"At the mall."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNb0ahCFvn

For a moment I almost 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kGid0MyDU
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Bf2VWHL1
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE0SjCz3XI
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSgRdAFkkk
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52u6WJUwDY

"What's so funny?" Jehan1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQI8zMzHBI
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXa6xQSevq
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm26JfKB42a
myself.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3YwyTQIS7

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWcbCziQk2

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AD8JTVZxv

If he thought saying 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrEKf7Kgb4
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBLJAXpB08
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GogwfWtvp

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5plYd0xmku

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FGLtwdZYH

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAx1Bj8Wlj

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEAXq4Onb6

"Ya, sure."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahyQPTiHD4

Jehan didn't say 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6chi4euHe
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtibrh1O8hi
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzuJMlWWrO
Typical.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJjbNl9swv

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCJP7bHEj7

"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."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXDoE2ScyE

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8unJX6Ew1

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQikFK7maSr

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHFtGGYzYa

"Why? You think I would?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO9vFIxRSU

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE71m0ks79

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNAS5f3E60

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKD0Bhynj5

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdBbswYrTN

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t8CERoGMe

"That one. Where is it?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmzVxgoJMV

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NMID5xfLp

"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."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG4MrGmznk

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSZuNahgt7

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG0oC6Onq8

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PSuisTuD4

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUCxzYRpI0

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddrKvPDrJQ

I quietly went over to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaImvPJdq4U
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi5izEQExt
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ltV6WkcwU
soon.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o1mUqO61B

I came to the drawer 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZMjFJmqjk
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh296dZOaU
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWkm1IewW4

I looked at her bed and 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm9W3u0EQg
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4SCOOvkBH
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPuj8pEd9m

"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."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GRRb1KPvT

I heard the tap in the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4qBbFwlhn
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98naQ6pIAm
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZeEBA4dQj
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfaSAae4JB
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4d4z9Q84L

***1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm3aU4V3yD

Sam's P.O.V1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTtFfiIquc

"Do you really think 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qxrlPxktL
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyNUockxdr
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF6N2U73w7

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYNKmaGd0U

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG2KGXe9Yo

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWgkrbmshb

"I hope it's not drugs."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyecdGR1svd

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMeSZBFnAD

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qloQ6atdy

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeZoWYeFdn

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSxrt8ZulP

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fi3Z8oT45

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUOYLr7xB7

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnQWwkwxwY

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTmVXq9J6f

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xlBDoKMDM

"Zoey."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLHtg07vhL

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSS0k8JlNI
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhqSjHXuj9
they couldn't because of our little fight."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUCHFVCoY6

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPUokjbVcJ
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jfw0cJm2c
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoro7F0TOzV

I raised an eyebrow at 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjPJoMBhdD
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr9Lk7ABsf
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKeJXlwnNM

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2N4la1vUe
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzTEENnr52
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaZ4ugyjCF
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9aMM7BZg4

"About what?" Lee asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyqnJjMOv3

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEdxK7sjkO

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHIYUvT6Di

"But today might be the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KgENlppFY
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1RKZYCbpQ
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4ashL3lme

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2b682PDDY

My heart rate quickened 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaIOE4jBhc
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg1cvQlEUb
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuKeIYjTkI

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYCSBl2PCe

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouxrXGXRcm

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv0Y9yTilB

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGB1iSZvW6

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFcjpNxs02

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw58Qgv9K5l

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP36GTDjNe

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCiEWvb5c5

"Alright, thanks, 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUZu8pMA0Q
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C7G3vn7A2
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvcZi0IOyG
Seungri."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbT0kE1DHA

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05geq8DVSE

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZICEwDLPr

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XJB0ECwSm

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB9Je8hC1z

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIlcT1A0wD

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KTDCFpQNr

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBX7QJODd4

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtxRPzqCks

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsJexdqTKw

"Yes, I am." I could 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kAd9GGaEc
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7UFPsDgIk
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gXu6PQf9l
perhaps?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LKTZ7qeQw

I rolled my eyes and as 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxKSL35kGl
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdZ00PjvpR
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y2pQC7ekD
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFXN0JeVND

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHw0x1ibv4

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe12j7AaBbG

I bit my lower lip and 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHRqR08EYu
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNlGUw3sYo
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4ZfP1fqXo

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70dc27bZvz

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtVqSxHRug

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGilkbvU4O

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9iyO6eaGx

"Bye."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFGbGsNfyp

"Bye, my little kitty."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgRJfZvBWZ

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiNPPq2xvK

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrBIgTqay2

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09XoiIbaN3

"Nope. And he isn't 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy1BDXdElD
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGJYZnjsK6
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk2RgyW3HH

"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."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfZ9YajICI

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bm3fqXZGH

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxrXDix7S6

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcWG0EudsC

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCrWp3FdxS

"Tell me about it." I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzUXHMZgZl
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6QizSy2jh
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoRbQszfCd

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetI0AEMNzo

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhlYLX7PO2

After we were done with 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslG1X2Uh6N
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVCEMjuNXK
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oXNfvkPdJ

As soon as we walked out1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2bAUWZsMF
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDW386oB0J
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvC5psUCus
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITYpbqnf5H
looking black suit stepped out.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqQEFBabJT

Time seemed to have 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhPiukprBa
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdCQdS3ESf
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINi9NKhvdC
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvHMHval1w
something familiar about him.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLgGaye2sq

Just as I was about to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKRAcjYRsk
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4oHSU7v9u
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BRnjO6CfS

I almost tripped and 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbikzFEp156
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QtI4p3UHs
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpk0RADoVK
me from falling.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURUhHiwFGj

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLuL3yqUS2

I didn't say a word as I1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNLFv6l9uf
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpo8DP5NrB
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5OlQoITJq

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeAY6LIVip

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq8LlGt2It

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMZ4qe52E3

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oHsotwpx6

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeJBaUMIEI

Narrator's P.O.V1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrjO88xfAC

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DRp8Qsd69

"Hey guys, am here," 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfspWvIk3U
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyqtWQktv3
look downcast as though someone's just died."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOEdlQ4SVi

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWhlNT5Zzw

"This is getting real 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUwsnwcvjc
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobZhRXZtMj
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AxRqfaiE8
her or with anyone of you."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgERZ1Xk0fT

"No, I think now is the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNOejuuqQk
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYXu8aFvpH
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT29CUVhUT9

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl1F4LKjCu

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqrf80Avl0

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVia4cxmX7U

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xSnBuKXd7

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNl6Y5jUwg

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqs8DAJVJp

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UO0Ry9Rps

The others rolled their 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CPCv4JkAS
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMqC1BrXG2
around and now wasn't the time for it.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSWCtu8BlC

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaUR4PoVLS

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMcXAIHcAL

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa2eS9x5E1

"Well, maybe," said 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtyG9A9OxZ
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtKVRuFK5T
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GJFGbO5k3
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw2cOnyGoh

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj2kmT79TL

"When I saw Daesung and 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsIKK5jO6R
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPhzDDzFBy
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknrWhR4ASY

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VaABDwHWc

G-Dragon didn't answer 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhyW1nE4I4
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1mFVVecoZ
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd61PN0oeJ

"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."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5Ve1bhiqr

"What do you mean?" 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC42UEgoEYU
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPJ9bZxgeE
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAMBh2F7Oe

"She was just doing that1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9MWA4OMXf
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXavPKuS5WZ
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITQlVodIeO
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipjEs5dAU5
be together."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGc8ZjUTgw

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgz109qnhu

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDRgKv7jvV

All the four BigBang 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH0Yrnswne
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7qx9OFMtd
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7hCAsWvGU
heard him come in.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvek4AABUeC

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3oldVZhot

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUlpzMFgcT

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8XnMH5WBe

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn3RzDeupq

"I'm not going to stay 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vCfpUNaWZ
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj9SaGM1NP
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr366EaaLPz

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWOvU32Zod

"No, I don't."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo81psSWxAA

Before G-Dragon could 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjJdbWBeGN
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi2XkQFdOz
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0gxaPfVjF

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcQUZhF2Yi

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN6NzAY74A

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1HoVV2GJs

G-Dragon folded his arms1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnnaeJPeBH
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26ZBxnORrC
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7AtGXrV4D
stared at the ceiling.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ66EDIxBER

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59ja5mJuwl

Daesung came into the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z46j4sFmF
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyyytpuPl9
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2z40oqMch

"Look, I know you're 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlPgLq2xPQ
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkInBN9VvXE
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYCqniKY15
never told me anything either."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpdUyxlXC6

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcXv2Ndz0a

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HprybJ1F6

"Why?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gujXu60SK

"She just felt like it 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmX6tstX4v
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXTThkgG3l
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBos5veOrpv
long distance relationships will ever work out."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjD89GSGfX

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VSQfXLkwt

"Because I know I'll 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm92KbgUjhh
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBsvJvgrql
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeafJqPNeYr
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErFMslSz13
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuugxc74ti
want to hurt anyone either.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhou8c7JC3s

"Maybe that's why she 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptygqKBYbw
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjbch9FLGf
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw90iget7lI
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oyxFfpSME

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjleZqPBXt

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCgGVcfbi1

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD8rT95Qo9

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlujQcBqowi

"I know."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhnGVWmBr6

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKafUEqmBmo

"I'll think about it."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBTjPL5ozv

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0WdlHu0xl
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU7LCQTzy4
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67RAVfvIa4
the mall."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo0LDPQaJY

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmeL4syH0j

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDF5NapSC3

"Ya," said Seungri, 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIChnWZnJ8R
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzGtVmCgyl
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqncKbv1Xz

"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."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFNWXlJ3Y9

"There is no time to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZPxWLnpMW
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8aX1TFM0l
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDhWH2M9GF

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05WwVzQ8Fb

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mUCPVoxaq

"We're your best 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiILnWpdv9W
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ro4xL2N2i
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2glJEqaaU

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0ULhb5a7j

Zoey's P.O.V1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYGguHNXkG

I came out of the black 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLWxa1phx1
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGi6kQFZ5y
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j8yN1FPar
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjcnn2CzfF
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmXeeVcwUt
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUmqcd3Y06
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28dgQgBdcW
by my fans.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbTQ0JEN3a

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUyZcXx2ha

"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0gIFuSzPB

"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIWeisRyoo

"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM68sgdO3Xk

"Okay."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1tkChMpM2

"Did you bring what I asked for?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjWC3BYgWi

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a749L8nEL

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf321mnvJB

"Well, I'm glad you 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFZ5oPh4yF

from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHBnI9vVn4
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBOc1BDcHw
lot smarter than you think."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELu2QwtmJV

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecBNjOIaMI

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7jv5rTfg4
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJX0MnN12Y
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG0KZNDq9p

When I went into the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnmuNUbxPA
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCwpGdWG2N
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1humi1Qi2H

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBMy3sHPXb

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyH6tTlRJI

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw2jDjzHYi

I shivered. Despite his 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cDWod5Xfz
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LZ89qjoGO
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJQX1zLObL
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIokIOFCDXe
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe4POk8wJb

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLcKHbhj6J

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0L40q7SHM

"Why do you need to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2SbaL9stq
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRn8MjNV86
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScDzbz2FHS

"Well, I need to know 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nwfk7ZySE
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KUfuWBB2M
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyrSHz3qRW

"And tell me, why should1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTZc8QAocN
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR74sUijDsE
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu29yOUQtV7
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiymxAZUdBy
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVCDP3K0pq

"I...eh..." I looked him1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXspz3nZLj
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uDLpzgGy2
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrTjJVTcBJ
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzbZIVsSF4
the kind who would send such a thing."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNAVDhNDiD

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hg6PLaX9e
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oIOArTVpm
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOifjUXP0L

"I don't know." I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtxZLrRkim
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbwzoXPnsm
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyQgmN3IPT
up to?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLiZBYK8UY

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5bQc2NZzO

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbREKqZKrs9

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3cxUciC9i

"What's the matter with that?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMfs0661mR

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62dgQx1N30

"Don't test my patience,1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeymW82Ckd
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYPM6ZOlhV
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9q1XGRtrB
think you deserve to you know."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWHWjUajya

"Well, yes, I do."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzOKvrBEsV

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnmNcaB3k3

***1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG10OoakO3Q

Sam's P.O.V1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbqITbMDlA

I could see Zoey from 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBxOtYFatM
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ae0NujQZR
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDmWk8XasR
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqVvTeF4TM
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE0By4J3GP

I was entirely grateful 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQoI9r3Hnl
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVYMoDbNTr
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgGkKdSd2m
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydafQm13ci
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrALnPTvwLD
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikjopAavDB
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKmMqGItYI

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiSK8qO7WD

"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.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz5naRlH7I

"But how did you know 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTgQp30dFx
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsIHMtPpZ5
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw8RWNMsXs

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yNTp06JWs

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD5ZbGDm1f

"Well, ya," I said as I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpHYwuYbjR
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ceeQBFUqI
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv6lPHFtlo
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1OqNMhApQ

Lee turned to the window1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQUJK3xvdk
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL5zzIuwWQ
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYJKpkN3No

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uTUXbJjBT

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7isdAMNUA

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCeBTGSZCH

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF8eEVwov0

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudkGr5f5is

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgITob3JJeK

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt1gIpzavs

We made sure to keep a 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHovVAHRL6F
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDDySCC2zA
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D9dLlXix5
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zeClilbNJ
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxIeV4mWL1

They went down the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZgF9IjJq4
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrlEnHJ8U2
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzIMYwb5R1
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tvrA1owHW

They were led by a 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMufpaqUqQs
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbnvOn4Jcs
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WComHMZms
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe5P9Ff9z3
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKmPhtnGHN
restaurant.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wlfYQ18aK

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSA6j0hgNl

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0WaWc8mLB

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfc1xP6hVp

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1va0aXegmo

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNIY4RAMap

"Me neither. But what to1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgIk1uwwxe
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7IXiHSUee
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x2AkhfaJs

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDu4a3niNH

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWPrQvg6WU

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPoNIYdJsW

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWUS8yvmId

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX9sCWyqWm

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAsgE4sW5H

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcSJyhfQ5S

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbjybvLlAD

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZAx2xF97s

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq1CqQA8SE

"Don't worry. Seungri 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve4nbqK8oN
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRwzusaX4s
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1uJ87vlme
and she will know something fishy is going on."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcVvkCz7wI

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwWCu9xhgz

Zoey's P.O.V1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RJgcv3IVW

I looked at the menu and1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzJyrEZ51H
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocX09dxDU9
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJnoB7vPsE
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8hJJbfZBE
looked up at me.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmjpIDF3fF

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Zav0ZMFFw

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS8t97zg2t

"Why?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DCxKShHsh

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZfj6ADwp9

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NL6tP4Mcb

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bpc1OuIVa

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVGt2fe4Gh

"What?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoS0atee03

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY8kbd6diN

"I'll try not to next 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjGKn6DGBg
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvoJghBbMU
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfUyMy77jK

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD47BYAJT81

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZqq3i8ilF

"Not tell anyone."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqgHoQJMFq

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCi1iilhY4

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lmcuEv8bm

"I smuggle diamonds."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtg22IEKiN

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnqc6xm7qB

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqUsO2mBmD

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd3ILPIKBJ

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8DTL8e4OP

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUgoflbseo

The waiter came with our1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBsVlOZjFU
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8QcMBadyA
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vnVrmFmmR

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Ee12P54U

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf8llyTJct

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvT0GiSA1K

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ383BLWQqdh

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpjn9jWpgM

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfud6z7y7u1

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU68hHgXbNK

"Is that why you're so rich?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpoj7JSFPP

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAix0QyKPcj

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVkhplziJC

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7NAUg5zV6

I gulped. He was giving 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa5fUeujyb
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxCrlEIIDM

I was waiting by the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRCYpQvmV2
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwUaZKif4P
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OiCkqe8fx
car? What was he doing here?1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9H81AQy8a

Seungri came out of the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ws8E3DOOv
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyvN3GAmPf
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrq7KqSu8f
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzGNuEwFgd
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqu82fvebD
what I was expecting.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSN6tbyRC4

I trembled. What am I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErU52YiVBZ
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PwQtrKp4G
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uQhzfuXfu
give Mr Teddy away.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLcH46w1Gt

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8TeWv3rPp

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6oMHgpH8M

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CG0EDKiUT

"I, no....I," I didn't 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVYCD5wtVV
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzKzC97pM5
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlY6fzJHkK

"I was only expecting 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCkNjgqEXh
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypYvg9kQb4
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5aVSTvYlj
seeing the two of them together.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE97mgmX7KH

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcIuwrEkPQ

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YLZbIcIbb

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz36fXkCIWF

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsH8GmH2yN

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc5JBvjt0x

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLoci9213U

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxiqsN4Rwd

"Come with me," I said 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpu4JEy90B
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsEEbedNab
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwUwhP7Lbw
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINDemqUym2

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVlBu6fcoU

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJovipNyGm

"Hi, guys. You're 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhzwaN8vev
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGKWma6fp9
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCNpnLL87d

"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV9xuAnZva

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5U8pig6r4

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.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45FBAPXQqe

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeoUS6b0vf

that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycNQzYOWmZ
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnOI9mtnfy

The five all turned to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlkO18Ogw9
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKCNYCKIpm
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwZwUEcOw2
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOEEsU3lbO

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecMbKyKi8M

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZt5JdAFgZ

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewh3Nqspfo

"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."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO5HXmWjH7

"We were also wondering 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrkHKXCRgN
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX4zRvKtVz
them, but decided that I would rather not."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLSYyHVafj

"Why?" Daesung asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUETcBqUj8

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZw2d4lT4E
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tewEqlQKN
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXegTkH5yny
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwwNXjlBaE

"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.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13dwqLg6dy

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmvsRDvSrI
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa2KGU5CxK
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD1olkB0wM

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV1RvGfLzQ

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X83ftjJKj

Everyone turned to look 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKdkiBPxRL
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDhAYZz5Te
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62MXn1b0zK
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCcJ9LUC2t

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJprNk8iXO

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB7cP9Wdex

"Here you're now 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXz9dChjjI
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB40oWrqav1
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXJIYIsyRW

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGLSEAE79l

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1eELVw7xq
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRVa7ssDII
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcltWYRTxn7
something, quick.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlHsUZPXo6

"Okay, fine, we will 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVQPid57hg
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QTHhjYmHR
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgfSUFdFra

Yes. Finally. I thought 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf2vNoFwUU
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB7MW0Nh4A
everything was going to be delayed.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCZtD1o3Y6

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrTTgAAlrj

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBVyElYN9m

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8nRHyllcA

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlOGnjoQ9E

As much as I wanted to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXUr5iui7X
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkvCbA4LmN
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VEBrJNSfu

***1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxh4u39LTY

Zoey's P.O.V1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI73UtQbuh

As much as I tried to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybQ6w5eOI0
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeCaDbQn3A
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbbTuK2wBh
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb70dik9MWF
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVWMM46fIO

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXREbuwvBC

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH1Og78Cku

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH0eBcGd2J

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N7riDvPRO

"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.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8VxlSywSu

"What do you want me to 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zDOdkPCJR
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1qMl8X1KG
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lllaIbyw9
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvNB3cZ4y2

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4RR4xHdA7

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66vrsH9qGP

Jehan shook his head and1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RueztCuMz
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJjqgJc50g
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAq84IVpTT
annoying."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnzW1QxjJN

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRObGHr3FZ

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yMPsnLea2

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCIK5lGWmN

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzczjfV83n

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xOvZVHIiK

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhat5VjDm2n

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtZwxcFXA5

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOOhpGfluo

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2Y18ueMQD

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q198blBtj

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kBQJIt3rj

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHKZwh4xBv

"Yes, for real."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGG07meWPu

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxodoxgRLw

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAz7SPhIGX
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r8PbfKXsX
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaTePoQCgj

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfidxLCiAU

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kHF4Imurc

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFms0HBIwqF

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlELRgmISpk

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.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zLr7Yk2qH

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge8zkN1yJz

"Zoey, hey!"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATow0hrzkb

Seungri? I quickly 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVtprhdZz7
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSYuJNQL9k
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoig3Kbis59
here?1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl86wxCuckG

They came over to our 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLciU8QruF
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpjbKO124G
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMcgeqsSY6
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC5UudmiyR
to do now?1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTyu7nOO0K

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6xLqCiFiQ

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudrRLgOTeq

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ5qFp6jgs

"Jehan."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdlyn9UYIj

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pLAXBqx08

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYHz3kwZ0i

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50RdytJpay

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhiIBA7cEn

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUSd5BeG2y

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6TkspJMgW

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKibpyk2zqd

I almost spit out the 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwbyOENFji
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYldQ5QQ9x
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEJzBzudZL
to water.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX5e2p6gii

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwW3mIJ3I4

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzH2Uvpx5C

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0HyqPaUkr

Jehan looked at me and I1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlvyk3nLwB
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Arv9D0iB
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3WXckLM2M

"May I ask what you're 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f0Bv5UjUE
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfO6uYf2zs
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9w447iSjL

"Oh, we just came here 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVQ8ccUfCv
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxAOCTZLsG
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr9QfostIT

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3G1TmhxiK

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oT2PkqV5z

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PbjxktFQ1

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70ciINcW4H

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkH5eWBb1g

"Yes, we will," said 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOY49zWnd5
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0ZIVHxd6X
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x6APlF3TT

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVA9n4mnlm

"You too," said Seungri.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEPhAfpCDt

Jehan gave a small smile1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE25t7d7e4
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i0pYnwl6c
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGylk5iUm2
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMnP72LrBU

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjuXUknikl

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniuvwDGVLi

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1JdDLsrU1

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0ksOlw7o9

I wondered how I was 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvZ6Va6Bmx
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr99ukzUKcb
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOPnCIVxx8
head until I give the teddy bear away.1178Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtJGOkZFXB

This was just great!
