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 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7ZIdqFHTh
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHmm7gKYOY
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi3whV5WKF
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGiiWO2UGE
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLUvY2o2Er

Last night, Zoey moved 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QEMeIGUjd
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zJEDqXhtJ
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMOpu1yuiC
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqurpLx5wx
talk to her either.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UnaXs58RN

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4d2Lgr0AN

It so happened that 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RW4yB1k3A
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4A2Njcbtv
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkosP3SUmWm
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrQ4jNZ9ee
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAPCexuhin
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tRn3qKtg4

Now, I was sitting 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd52BEpNXS
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cy8BgpkGR
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxyvUHhm26
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlfaMhoEoS
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCBvInTDjG

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCLDRREAiN

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3J2O5t0m4

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLWcYMjpEH

"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?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKWazalqQB

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb9WC6nPao

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmngVN3PQQ9

"Lee!" I whined, putting1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes2M7CuKlV
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDzHBeOJNZ
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn5fKNAdD3

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xQcKFhnZO

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OhTbeQHeI

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3abR9kMwXW

"Why? I want to stay here."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdL0oHcjoU

"I need to go and shop 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFyPiNgguL
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EnB6jRKjA
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FgZ4f3dN9

"But watching YouTube 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOvAifuZFz
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgbDVSv7i0
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34JtCQyLx4

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj11UWnkSi

"I think Lee is right, 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy3UzTJ63U
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwiJ0uTwA1
out on Sundays like you do back home."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm7loG1v0j

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqXrd84LOD

"I know you're a fan of 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK7t3ayICm
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplUv7pBxaV
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9m1Zq6B4e

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qXMuYHVIe

"Well, that's what 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDTns2NxmX
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzQDwwlmmZ
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBy6RpucGm

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8nOOwT0KA

"That's what we are 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCNitqr3Jo
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbgzAvmLgN
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG727hIQqy2
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTel4ayVr0B

Daniel's right. I had to1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSag1SeFYyI
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYygUdG5qG
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5WwyOGVYi
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfngmaS4m4N

Unlike the others, Lee 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbjZaZvzXb
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHthzYXMTT
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXLB3FO6mx
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi1jz9nGxf
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo0QRZYRCi
and Zoey together.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv1uoX4fDD

I really wanted to tell 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sWM1qao41
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqgwTw02Kp
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFff0vBBjbi
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JomCcdMzB
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTME3hIHyT
When was I ever going to change?1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLeKJgUfn4

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaYRTRCNdg

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dJYBzZOYs

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xegk2BCq9

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc8By3Hmop

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMF2pKTXZv

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihWSOYgDRQ
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz56cG1KDHt
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYlbIij61n
my room to get my shoes.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2oRF92aEF

After I wore my white 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Evpg1EJoc
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHom8lK30VP
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp67XPR4Equ
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wXg6DmUk1
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5bbl1AVTP
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfMlRDAGys

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXkL7Sw2fU

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgoQ0gyTH0

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva9dgUxrl7

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRXgz2Y40v

"We can go, now," I told her.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5oYEnxaXN

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSMdQ2sc6L

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7XYIRzVGU

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHG0w8QbxW

I smiled back at him. 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHurXGTmDy0
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodEMP1IKCt
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw0JO6jH32
guards in the other SUV.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjNvHg8xbC

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcQwzRUKVN

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSWHwCvjUx

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK14174WCk

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7njGY2PIn

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9c7GsN8MI

"To the mall," Lee answered.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGAmbQX0NT

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvwBaZKqZi

"What's wrong with the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoPdo0UGU6
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwecuay3TJP
best plans just come out of the blue."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxTOSR4DBh

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79z5hF0DoP

"And waste the day away? No way."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2LkG2Dkmg

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYoPR5DD4j

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhDL2LMMio

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OGgx70VUN

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOiJVAeQ7g

"No. Zoey might have 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlTVMbUBYo
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYTw8B0g8B
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8VhyODXoJ
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBacLBJtFIu

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WMSnIXmpN

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3OjwkpmOk

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYfKKvcZbX

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiajxjqkCV

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkXy5GWqoj

"I don't know what to do1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9bBmnQZxG
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl9zpdExVK
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnvicndVRD
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmUqg9ocrC
somehow."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK2MVRjJQq

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxNLXOCmr6

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXozhedCDkW

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t97KoCyHf

I folded my arms as I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL6Ois22H7
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHoA0U7dIW
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6CB23tYud
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBiZXg1rmw
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdSsWHhSvb

We soon reached the mall1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWd9DcWbbY
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8TVq2CBOY
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlDMs8CPXE
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fVL7zG0Ri
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqcMLTqhGk
the bodyguards were around.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry7vIp6Y0w

Lee and I first went 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc5EGFkRLO
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VzeWuW2I1
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx0hluuzTG
a while. I was having fun.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJsnLrTmLK

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.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPZXq8uLht

Lee and I soon came out 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rKyjXnB9O
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEtp5Mq3tU
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT71WDxGIGR
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTs9p1lpmg
our bags because we bought way too much.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z2AfKhwae

When we walked out of 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DJtxZRaBM
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph6XLGbXyd
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEq0iJP5SB
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMTAtdVeJQ
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaIsTcIXlB

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W50pyvQom

I couldn't answer Lee. I1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ocbfdd1BP
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5blVmnIJp
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ggP3Arnwk

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt3WPcpl3p

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHovTJaYg9

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABvVv6GjFk

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PJwc3dT5t

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDFoc6kzTM

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv0VVYcjXb

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtegXiR87F

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q3PfpdIxr

I looked at each and 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR06paVgxb
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TyF4k8SQt
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfchIwTMSxl

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblSlkydcW9

"What?" Lee looked 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHchlOfKKYl
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUggCd7ZVZ
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghhOMIPzyQ
panda."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwl2PjguBf

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4UCBrcOpv

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb43Fom2QOS

"Derrick's brother sent 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvP59QbqfA
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1jSzwuRPT
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCttGYHdSA6
bear."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZnP0bxfqt

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KG4xApkFV

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUoeF5z5ot

"I don't get it though."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGOouXWpUy
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaJviTH741
so concerned about that small teddy?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1xDoAiNgT

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsgBc4txiV

***1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr7Nm6yNdP

Zoey's P.O.V1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgahbeYj2pV

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa88B8WltRD

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3Mu7QqJjd

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphujLqqiga

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGZz1gH2ym

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWXIBGPKF4

"You moved out of the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXlnaIRKkv
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLOKciWb7F
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63sse2h7rN
of alien or something."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP0lGvofyO

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjMTs0OwLP

In a quick flash, a 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkB0lnaUfA
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21uVHJL2IS
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilUbRJIoGb

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gnAfP23jk

"Do you want more of 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwU0XVQH3V
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDAvfOZ8qD
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPQ3UKTOHx

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAPnqLRoow

"You got that right." 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxqD8Gh9s0
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NTbYsl6ld
ignore her like you're doing forever."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGup5y563A5

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz4XEmrShR

"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."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRHZtuQa6f

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepGZvj3jwU

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTghrIvmJjl

"It's normal for someone1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyxRAq8ey9
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnyER0ZBPG
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtXXwdi2bb
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GscCGLwcI
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH8AsTDAql
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIfzjYaqiL

I always hated such kind1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Muv0otka
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPum7bofYyP
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuCO9m4skY
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW7YN7eSWu
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkoB5AvM1M
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU0iyv4aJK
nothing.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63TrWt7oXK

I've never told anyone 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp3SVOG1af
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm9cjTrWvj
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxQNy9HxDt
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV9L2UytsM
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBSChnUYB0
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46EyFrCQgk
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm9i0DZmDd

I am Yin and she is 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOSkBpY3l9
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRexcqXUnX
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEiMK5O0jH
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpFZ5ZY931
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RTGDpVqAy

And now when I needed 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtp52BNoLw
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q2mqVge5u
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59ZyHDSBE5
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZNEKXCvWk
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmcAXsn6QW
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCol8AlotL5

It all begun when I went1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S2KcKN85U
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vD7OOXDOg
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT635PRxz1I
this mess.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3a1MVVfpR

We were having so much 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTHuhI8o4s
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYFyvmp3IN
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2f9LtJhB8
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGp5wHvZV9
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfcxaurjup
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqu2SFhB8P
things did go wrong.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEttMibWbf0

As we were watching the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4zCGKcs31
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsqccplilG
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLanWdsPvGE
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDP5JuzZI8

When I looked at him, he1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkxjPDYQU5
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FqE4ROW3x
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkADB2tqGF0
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wnPjtSlIk
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZkOZtApzs
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh63kSLfyc

After the show when 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv65qxhpVsB
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa5at5LXLS
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKQDbTVStd
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGMgqQVuM5
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FwxjOKt3h
take a few minutes.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4QeXeuK2U

I didn't find anything 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBrZ3sAsRq
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qUnTo0hfj
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegyO7HdIZi
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlW9BQPlfhr
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5X9XCzolG
too much.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBbFLBkqOn

Jehan led the way out 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMcjVSm4Gu
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqNnzusb8O
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsJAWQYlu7
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD15nfsIJS
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkjVaczptP
that I felt a little safe.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPaNMGsTwG

The two of us soon found1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsjwUN9MjY
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlFfSWfQMG
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXTqwOtpSr
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HNpBmVYfx
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlHCQAKMqp
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfw01X5HvC
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGM6OlJO55
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfVjPAXJwU
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0cM4kIXRZ
menacing.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqdGIvDx48

He gave me something for1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG6mUJQUCP
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fcNPdT1DV
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WZWNrTrA0
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY12XbLKtQ
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT3cbsoLEA
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs4mNtO092
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSBMvgc8O5

Whatever he sent me that1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLRV5dGBVo
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoBkScn50l
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK4iMVRdpz
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9ug8ZL3tN
happened yesterday.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQBDyxRuyt

I had never been in this1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumvqp6voQk
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGALyz2YRze
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzZfaJ2E4p
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wPJcjpmhx
crying out loud. I had to do something.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbPuUrzE6A

My phone rang bringing 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDVmqq9Xwi
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHRByPFSWo
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIQDVlu0No
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g1k4tnfoP

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw3Ve1C7h9

"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.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3LLpdAa6r

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfI2d5Akfm

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfN0n7NT0w

I would have told him to1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGWW9eHv6h
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFExplCpr9v
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJurT0yex8

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BTaVMmdAE

"Looks like you aren't 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZDUf6ln0m
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hDJI2ymbT
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLfChX2wRn

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpN8hJdq1M

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan9iD4tnRv

"Just get to the point, 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7css7UFfM
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lrj3uYzNK
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqXR1d0UrS

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZUQpeGbQW

"Today? Are you serious?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI0qb05lx3

"You know that I am. We meet today."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCJGUxVmtC

"But where?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3S2Bopzu2

"At the mall."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdzTA2TGwg

For a moment I almost 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuNq34ZyrY
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0Nsk24cO1
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65ON3GFgqc
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuOrqmvzme
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxdWPdO6KM

"What's so funny?" Jehan1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcYSadDSmD
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdYTOso9it
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFvLDTOPTu
myself.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn9ENUunXw

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtutqcnI3Iw

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aYM5DL5TS

If he thought saying 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCsFnoGrio
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQZk9IRHxj
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv7LwQiHIE

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIcO7HHCD8

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0qwTbeNSO

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrSjzY0VTm

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLpNopO43A

"Ya, sure."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoht0KfV3Ej

Jehan didn't say 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWotdwPio65
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfedzRtPTN
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfIyJm7anZ
Typical.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2eIcyJNhP

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK41uqTdf7

"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."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGwLu6sX2D

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcyV0ITFQP

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94rqvaGkk7

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGd5tftGSG

"Why? You think I would?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmQQxDujUW

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWzq9z0Zaq

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BG7sPoarD

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyavcq2ea1B

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwKDAgeKTQ

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKdNpzc1EX

"That one. Where is it?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ4t29nePb

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoKWwWc6Ra

"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."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWzp4b8ahY

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLke8keGeKa

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzoAWyqPQ9

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa7dXUGZNH

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBs8lnthsm

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlanrLRJMl3

I quietly went over to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0fX6Wtv3C
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoPnvvz2OR
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW46lGUMVeC
soon.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xTeuVwRMd

I came to the drawer 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkQIlHmelY
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvta23X237
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKn0LGQGbg

I looked at her bed and 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53N7jOWAvo
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglGmJ6j6MN
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76eX0l1IDl

"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."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBep1t1Msu

I heard the tap in the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlSFblXJRf
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4i1oenBzc
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPZJBb4Std
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACsjFWYwA8
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt5y79FYhR

***1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R5v0C7CRI

Sam's P.O.V1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm4cGQwb6M

"Do you really think 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthOT2vbqpz
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsGybukAiM
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29jHOepmBZ

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwew6qWYox

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7mS1VGK3H

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwOKxE7zVU

"I hope it's not drugs."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYZTuNHJEK

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kWjCLqCeV

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMbym0uNm2

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SedWmsdwR

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGEWMCUnAX

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIySYiL6zG

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5iQpnAIWE

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QnYuPReKV

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPTgws3bTY

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMKJDcOVth

"Zoey."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwTspfENWI

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkky3ZbPv0H
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbZQ3bkGS1
they couldn't because of our little fight."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBNIDYuhGT

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPF3xrfSb4
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex0PcczeJv
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgoAYN62d8

I raised an eyebrow at 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNQ6uSfBUi
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOK61e76Xz
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6vg1WYy0a

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PjEUamyA0
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYelAq9aDy
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZGr3vpmGL
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcEphZUVN6

"About what?" Lee asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvCBY6KD30

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLDAo1ITbQ

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJw8HMDBYF

"But today might be the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY43P2FLmTh
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc53SYeLQS8
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGtMCThDty

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo9d2Exg05

My heart rate quickened 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFrexluG0c
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz63Rd7rvS
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd5cSOEqvN

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU1E6NhyvT

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTYVSsS7jq

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnqZkZ8Bf0

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTyZkKZyO6

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCKLWy8bIz

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BMumSaa9Q

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5ZMtEdqbx

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q8K980yJD

"Alright, thanks, 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkf285VHMw
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KsWGkgs70
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwpDaqwFer
Seungri."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9qyA0Vmy7

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tPMkVfeCD

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXu8rlzQR5

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBix4xEUz9G

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjJEkknqcI

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjgldzeEPU

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJW633SUnu

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU6bM1H9k6

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsTj6sGiLt

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnRvgdO2ig

"Yes, I am." I could 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNkeAFNEYO
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF7DwyaJPn
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rHMMJoNks
perhaps?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKsEk9oHqE

I rolled my eyes and as 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHs7DWfdIz
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W3HstLKxK
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W0kWDOZlz
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoziQJjld5g

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRLZ55VOZu

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOVeSN5JE7

I bit my lower lip and 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78Bgapz4Pn
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFgwrZm1et
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwykr5Uu9Ba

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanEUHuQp10

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmwrfkh36z

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjDxDYnSPV

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtJFeDnnM9

"Bye."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsmvMrBMPx

"Bye, my little kitty."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGkjNDQybC

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzTXSLpK2w

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknp1S3syTn

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUzwtaOD1W

"Nope. And he isn't 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLM5ysvgFE
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sX8eNdye7
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A887zBiC4

"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."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSXsELHKbj

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR9guhg17F

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GJCc2nYY2

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYyPU419dl

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuczaDF4wle

"Tell me about it." I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy4PzqvxAo
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzqtZwhmnN
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Ml3tIESV

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUCoYiKqAr

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXuzs29uEK

After we were done with 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21JTYccAO8
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ9jNAHTWV
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmqXSEL2pW

As soon as we walked out1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhXYL5IYtg
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr62Adw047
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCESoLKUcZ
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuosTH06tcD
looking black suit stepped out.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL5Cs9kGxf

Time seemed to have 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25h8MjTExK
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikYGBDy4lR
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Wkwa0AQK
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05F7gJGmhj
something familiar about him.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJa0snnyss

Just as I was about to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCGfZhUaWB
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpxScM27Ts
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdNXR9qxdu

I almost tripped and 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RECCS4LM3
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTTZBLCAyg
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqNl4W33c2
me from falling.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQF8zNyKmm

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEPt1pqgkk

I didn't say a word as I1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSpYRxC5o3
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynRBtrA0wP
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl85y0VzfRP

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9a6XxTrSJ

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ft77fAVK2

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay3NDpesfV

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGeYQAAUoe

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan4CtRobQR

Narrator's P.O.V1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeroj7NRlKO

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq3I61le1Y

"Hey guys, am here," 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gigc69CM6
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVrtNOMGv1
look downcast as though someone's just died."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqFG7ocC1d

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33ZMTzUMFq

"This is getting real 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQhSo7ZtL2
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFVRdON3Py
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUimUQCzojG
her or with anyone of you."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkervJYRQD

"No, I think now is the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUetj2854U
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGB13C7w6Y
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniQco8dnfY

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0oMRZE2Ev

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCM8rBlM50z

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr4HTR7nED

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tBOgdu4DJ

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZN5P8CHs4

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocJre17EJM

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAel916wbez

The others rolled their 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoPebIwBdL
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDycOppoYdF
around and now wasn't the time for it.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ088ADKMgqz

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIN5W0xFeE

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe7gTjoCoB

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X01fWYggZ

"Well, maybe," said 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUERYgjZzm
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iRkmE21QG
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kMrluHBiB
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefuKix0PYM

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJdAuzZDlR

"When I saw Daesung and 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpMObZjQkY
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mQ2D9YiWy
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcHTmZT9TW

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BMVTOH6Oz

G-Dragon didn't answer 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd8kgXizZC
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rgK9LifGc
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YALlJFZs7

"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."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxWJEddkz8

"What do you mean?" 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyyGbKfGf0
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ7AGYzpMj
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3I6sG7wJg

"She was just doing that1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUZgw3kXqJ
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yqknm42uU
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29tQCb8ziz
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ30GtkZGpd
be together."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S7NG0LW7N

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6IKSd6zLD

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzm6M0MbTe

All the four BigBang 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5ipOcqI4k
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITfRN361Qn
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhZ2InjdsL
heard him come in.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CkNQ5cTlr

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AruIz6pIJ

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJvQTMXwlG

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Kyoev1k5

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHwKaqWo8l

"I'm not going to stay 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuHu1jlZOn
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B4e5cESuL
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx9TaQGt5G

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEOXuxGSPt

"No, I don't."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSrX7C8NU7

Before G-Dragon could 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4BejOaPcb
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAZDPRddVY
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmRxtc5yRr

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOis0Iu9VQP

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML70xk4rtt

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMghOPXn3bh

G-Dragon folded his arms1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rxVGOxnLU
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR54AR4QVRE
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LNpotix9G
stared at the ceiling.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf7qC3UWps

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmxAFFFQJj

Daesung came into the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEzMDu1f8c
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hjg3EtISy
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1VyDW4lHR

"Look, I know you're 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtaDUwvIVt
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8skjsoImJq
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzPi0lWX6G
never told me anything either."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTprCtgZ5dB

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfYDR1CdrP

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUu8OJPnlp

"Why?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmaHL2pxqe

"She just felt like it 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2UGHi0mz6
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQFEwf9gfT
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEugpXEmRv
long distance relationships will ever work out."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1xsJSnpPh

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3hVwUlBQv

"Because I know I'll 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQho3eosc4
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyadtKWrmtl
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbW5SEgIKx
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzWPeFmyHj
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRQvhqkBLr
want to hurt anyone either.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwayOX9SIH6

"Maybe that's why she 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ohtb6NTmK
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28GAvgO1wK
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhQBmBmx1b
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRMd9c9MSk

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJXWIVccs7

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ymf2kVdSw

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhCvsTGVlX

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXpQxUSCyD

"I know."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEg78Y9E06

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBwnWef1sF

"I'll think about it."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMlm9pv0hf

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNUlRNeo2p
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBorUVrZshM
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6icLonisGh
the mall."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo41qfdZFzV

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEEc0MGU2C

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgANMiifpml

"Ya," said Seungri, 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0Be5oyYc0
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnl8a4W2fB
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkguL3jxiq

"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."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ePzDh11fi

"There is no time to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeawgb69g7h
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukeQQxHtdy
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHlocCA4nd

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1aOa9gFaa

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBsXcCTt6H

"We're your best 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKBK837rMu
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcImKhsXdRL
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUvsUYSlYI

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhJLOknC7H

I came out of the black 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUGy2AOZ3C
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMF81Sg2Zw
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q84H7gtBR
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZDc6CvB12
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs84oxNDrsN
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLAKLphGkp
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6uqJnARGs
by my fans.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l42b4FW5X

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0JLVl88RM

"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1tw8sL6Cq

"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKtWnKzMgg

"Okay."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQuV2niInM

"Did you bring what I asked for?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvSnXgzKJC

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9HmWMTfTJ

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWaI1WF2VJ

"Well, I'm glad you 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3vBiGqxrj
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxiHYKn3zs
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMQrbREGHQ
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlM8hWdz3E
lot smarter than you think."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud0kV5TPVC

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2weDjDwmTt

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3b1PdEk8h
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZKgPYyZdF
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE4BqbnRAH

When I went into the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkLUPD6Y9w
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkfd9WrTD9
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XwJF1uRwv

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzq1RKx2Y6

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJlz4DjRVH

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rlb9rXJYm

I shivered. Despite his 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP88WthwnsA
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd4O5Kag4y
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzTRS1M9IY
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj0iaDTBYE
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGGh3ml25u

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT4QLSd8EK

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0z9nWTvDf

"Why do you need to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdBlyzTrPT
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfSMjzWWRZ
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IiSjgWuUT

"Well, I need to know 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenQnV1CQNa
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKxLJz9mn9
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6LqAiKJbi

"And tell me, why should1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLOlPJbtc3
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H36nuxeJt
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mkbgoyJn7
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxVwdy15Fa
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ9HVZekrs

"I...eh..." I looked him1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5W2arWqrK
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoME0sxu6B4
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cz8cYEuha
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRWSIvvkbR
the kind who would send such a thing."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMWrIyqj4S

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cQLtjOK08
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJnnpdFyhV
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb0r0m5oDN

"I don't know." I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV87r92yOGh
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK20FSVMBhc
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1fiBQIHYr
up to?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuemzDjl87D

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpQCuPs71V

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGue5V76Iue

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW40pPt7q7Z

"What's the matter with that?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdx78wrtYh

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfX2u74B8u

"Don't test my patience,1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1amU66jduW
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoqLeK458O
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQBsgOP55o
think you deserve to you know."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJreI6eyfQ

"Well, yes, I do."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NlaoH5URO

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoZFerNLJn

Sam's P.O.V1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoeiv7Co8V

I could see Zoey from 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnADlLYwcu
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeE30htXqI
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdavT3FA20
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUnXVPEape
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIcoDZRhuN

I was entirely grateful 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4Vm9gkUQE
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwJd1MK8sU
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FkfFAM8bR
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6hmqcXTSh
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSGEkypFPi
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oLpr9pg99
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyJoPxBItH

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw413CQKIkO

"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.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQqcSBi4ZL

"But how did you know 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WgBsTAbUU
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOk3Tz6Eh0
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEZ6yxGfqV

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZnHuVC8ex

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBnXS0c2AK

"Well, ya," I said as I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejoXlZ8A7G
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRGYYbUw5l
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzyBN4FHLL
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZsf0AkdDm

Lee turned to the window1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaCOiXjbY4
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg0KHPLssL
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPh67ftJkV

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLfl7wxRD6

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyciFD2omOf

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptKgGN4NVc

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUB5tl2vAQ

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ9nn4nEDy

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR6HhIqCg4

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapot7i3nSi

We made sure to keep a 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoh6vaSFpV
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooQl3zvznx
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl3a7XplBt
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAszMYIx2mS
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSxhAzTaym

They went down the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhMdT1fvhC
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIlyp0tQHl
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVyjHxL8Sp
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVFWxaSUiP

They were led by a 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi1CtsxXII
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMLOVVsuaT
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTJljVsGF0
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8Q4WCuTUh
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0G8xvRfyb
restaurant.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUIqEP9Ilx

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVq7sVDnAx

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknxffJTVrE

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDyeES9wD5

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5dFKEnLo9

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkq0ZtsqZn

"Me neither. But what to1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8hjeQpKoC
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtN6QNg2Z9
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQZvLsFtlY

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcncR6bZXo7

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3kZEPcdUw

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKx5ejtvn1

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2as3qyEjj4

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUnLR8wo4f

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr6Rasx8mX

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhyUfyv22E

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnLSuv2BL1

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cysfzFcJJ

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qzmyhGf2n

"Don't worry. Seungri 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIFkOPkn3f
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZusPCNOW0
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqREYgVNzrF
and she will know something fishy is going on."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXRJhP50hZ

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6y9b6MOpN

I looked at the menu and1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO8jd4ujhK
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmFwzx1m2t
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmhjVYxDbA
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMQN8AQfs8
looked up at me.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWd51Jbnyq

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi37xZU16d

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyTZKJpTQS

"Why?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuln9Ok2ns8

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MXvhBXgeY

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PjiFrYvsr

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKc9s4FiNC

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuCXMbQCpH

"What?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwoCuD01Rd

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0mhlfCcvT

"I'll try not to next 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbQ0WqBZ6n
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiNnUu7Cke
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q7AOLPqnf

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzYUfn4zMF

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W18VLA9Ys

"Not tell anyone."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrITdh0iEvV

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwjA7OMQE3

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFTvh67vuj

"I smuggle diamonds."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtLlK9fEC8

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgx2AeqJtO

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltG3bTVtrX

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT3Xx0ZAk0

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEPEW2qsLl

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREkIVoMz0d

The waiter came with our1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrpxZq8sVk
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcam3F986Pr
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy9Htx1Gpm

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX1fY1w3Xx

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMXmmbsnrb

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QzxVVXzb2

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ906cuuqvVk

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrw3lNdKVx

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvsevKmXDu

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGiDe0ADxF

"Is that why you're so rich?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtEjSQIZom

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqwPR6myH6

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZSy56hzw4

I gulped. He was giving 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNYf76t0oq

entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDnSChRVcp
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8JIXPoUeJ
car? What was he doing here?1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtQ2YB1eVT

Seungri came out of the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm1mee7qZL
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9vCZDSIo1
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20AUaZj3fX
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ie3BPHSIA
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCeNnYjVGo
what I was expecting.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjvO3cgnVL

I trembled. What am I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFljRb29mG

fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxtfBQXVR0

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnYDzCRixq

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMIHsxtzXn

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb2Uwk0Yjl

"I, no....I," I didn't 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBplDlBFBlv

"I was only expecting 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaqhHVgRLB
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KmqR4gciQ
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio3ntAu4En
seeing the two of them together.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbpg93c9tK

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTdI0TzcDl

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ698pKVIcHD

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lqc9AivGO

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPEglWEqGA

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAoHAwJV1U

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Z1yaKMDZ

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ4MXB8ERZ

"Come with me," I said 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzrRFCT5be
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBz5wbzgQw

on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVN4ePJgKD

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aigtImxfZ

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBwb4v06zA

"Hi, guys. You're 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5eXJ6tTzv

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JMd3bng1W

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.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiprawj7nSa

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaSe0ZZDVr

Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlkaAwOeXb
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbDjxoRPKt

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniYCvVvpNF

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVkBrzelIL

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpBZ5sunUe

"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."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzhgXw0cXA

"We were also wondering 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XzXXAAh9x
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4LAO1cvrz
them, but decided that I would rather not."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaqx3v26GY

"Why?" Daesung asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd45b5EgGB

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshtFoJ6oTY
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaMgIPomse
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZO0e7OqOZ
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv1wbjhUIn

"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.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwtYi6XFSY

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy3QcQCFyq
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBygoDPiu24
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXWhNenZSE

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdq2etnGht

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYM8IEmvYv

Everyone turned to look 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnwvDUIYzo
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUSNKJZzfV
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXNuFyfcm2
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FquzMFVfh

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUKHhiTrAL

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bebeLldFj

"Here you're now 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGNg6O9qMh
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPiZ4eE8Yd
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dVXcwDngD

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU1zpI7aVC

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68rJn5ab97
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB3adHVfMf
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5c1i1UfWX
something, quick.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURKDrFQq5E

"Okay, fine, we will 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrxWVk0nU1
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoviJVmpi3I
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBnwxWSewa

Yes. Finally. I thought 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOGQG3ivqc
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIef12Dm21
everything was going to be delayed.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rQEzs8gqf

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98qPRxsMSl

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBMfDKHd4o

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBTTrqyZoj

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OiBXZwL5s

As much as I wanted to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH9WBFfZMf
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsMlcpgXIi
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq75pUWwpe

***1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfFNfZ82F0

Zoey's P.O.V1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q6CTdo2NZ

As much as I tried to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls4I4Mr0XJ
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WLCIgJmg6
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc0m1cpjdg
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOkn2Pswue
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rCuvDg1ca

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxWPXafyzE

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hkz5vn8Gt

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkPcoh9Doe

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4oELLQN84

"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.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQR2doI9l6

"What do you want me to 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1NyMVVc0z
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB3eG5K2hn
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4PE04uscT
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnhGjfUsoA

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCg7o7V7fF

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlKLm9YIfe

Jehan shook his head and1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhW5r1ouXt
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxm6FarExZ
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPj1HjzsX3
annoying."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYTV9kc2WS

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJpNLzf2jR

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc63rDC2MJ

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mBWbgO3x4

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjybMPWVSs

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ObSzhNn3h

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC74xJJaWSm

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPNhDShiqf

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozMcacjLSj

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBPmw7rIZD

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZb5vGJV4L

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXXEoEvqzr

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNuuw8PdKp

"Yes, for real."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj7EGahlZJ

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH5c77sGPo

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoEr3sWFjN
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQuJZYEuAP
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lntNAV4QX

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaI1XgDL2M

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85nNDHkrzY

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbTIWn8rZg

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZo0gLV0l1

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.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNX9BjxHDj

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IIFk3wTci

"Zoey, hey!"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs19YrL86P

Seungri? I quickly 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z51u8kgL8
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6npdJi83zI
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BgkGwTrp9
here?1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkz0IG1nB8

They came over to our 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0EKcbhd19
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP16rGEWSfU
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhheN5cXOx
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWXJiRVD2L
to do now?1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82sSLkVFbh

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mcy4pR9OS

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfeG3U2hI1

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPWsegCdKs

"Jehan."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIy2Qc1lil

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq3OcIgCre

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF1PIpQe1D

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRk3as5E7r

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ydeyoR7HD

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd7SJwmV37

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkuRJDiCSv

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2y6tUUB6Y

I almost spit out the 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJweBbtL3w5
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRsFlvHxEl
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZHOUEMTTC
to water.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsAyEpTkdf

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsnQqEUMjk

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplYFD8r5db

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pl31oybij

Jehan looked at me and I1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RVgSGs82w
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNktrDudy6u
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiOb58o80k

"May I ask what you're 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRnIXLNgCw
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5LPbWW9MB
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlBKtWfMaR

"Oh, we just came here 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZenKOOHT20
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLhiFwJ9ic
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRGsQDmpkT

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehUSiqqtFy

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpvGaB1z2Z

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnuF1QGANs

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLPuJWC8qj

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY0wNO7TuV

"Yes, we will," said 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZEncurP71
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeBxQlWOXp
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglljMp0xBR

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0P6whmwb1

"You too," said Seungri.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKvdmNMXfH

Jehan gave a small smile1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvlGSWS0Cw
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZueo2poln
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM4EcGlPHx
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeNgSq47I7

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5gF5tkUpP

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7VgwmGQzZ

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPDC1gySOb

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMiIGUdU8Y

I wondered how I was 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Xt4zWy4lH
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kJS6ac3ft
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDXeKpsv1V
head until I give the teddy bear away.1199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbzDAS6JYY

This was just great!
