Sunday was quiet and 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJUNzjkUldi
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAUUYp4tqTC2
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAYrsV1VJ8nm
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1178Please respect copyright.PENANARm82lz2UHQ
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAsCJBMMvgUl
Last night, Zoey moved 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAloJ5sNTmzI
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1178Please respect copyright.PENANADiFoJRw71f
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANApqh8HF3kPS
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXtbKTIHE9L
talk to her either.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAAVebDdZsvD
And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAi642zOwC1T
It so happened that 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAalfnuNQc32
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAeSAVjcn98g
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1178Please respect copyright.PENANANqYNkHjbdg
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA4bGlutocLN
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAnCZCGNhJ8s
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1178Please respect copyright.PENANASW9CT1PnbY
Now, I was sitting 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhbPJWxDPLi
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAcvjJY6NhSO
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1178Please respect copyright.PENANAve234EsS67
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA6urLurW6hA
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1178Please respect copyright.PENANASeIR6phZKM
I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAdYARzQsoE1
"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAxVwTaTyoed
"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAGyWHkTUZh6
"You heard me," said Lee looking down on me, with an annoying look on her face. "Are you going to sit here the whole day?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAWf5eNEXu5u
"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAh95Gs3aEjE
"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1178Please respect copyright.PENANASVGaJOC71h
"Lee!" I whined, putting1178Please respect copyright.PENANAPi5KSV8jwy
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2aTxasBkdE
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAouGmSiczbx
"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAEoqWOZT52I
"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAOAzhDfR2XJ
"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAuo1YYAXzRt
"Why? I want to stay here."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAjr8SwIicSa
"I need to go and shop 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAO5BI57kot9
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMXToL3v2DX
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAA3BkRGujdf
"But watching YouTube 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3VvHpY3mrx
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAN8YIZP1IOu
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1d85x7DVso
Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAmjweCiFcoB
"I think Lee is right, 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA7UFelkQZ7a
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAVZqmqmCwil
out on Sundays like you do back home."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAx18Gt8cvOc
"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAB970e8WamN
"I know you're a fan of 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7SveFGblI
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAb4POg7DMEi
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAsnjkqKkH3P
"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAvd7iw8exV9
"Well, that's what 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAQajs9rdIDZ
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAVYV0IZDegf
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA37FbrXOHj0
"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgYjq1UZnll
"That's what we are 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAKPuX1WUsx3
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA8all6WuEO6
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0NaWq0SuAK
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0cgb0aboKC
Daniel's right. I had to1178Please respect copyright.PENANABqnRA4NP1l
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAvmsHHg3Ap2
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhm4TekTjBn
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1178Please respect copyright.PENANAk0qlpYXVyG
Unlike the others, Lee 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA7s59Sgbr8S
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHABU4cN6zD
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9KTi3sqbTZ
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3Y9Cmw6WVM
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFe1Z5759lG
and Zoey together.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAG2RjOt3mhw
I really wanted to tell 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMuktGNxDk1
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyvU1cU4Zt5
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1178Please respect copyright.PENANAqidmfVBz0S
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9QSptdq4xY
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAGzLGoK6zU8
When was I ever going to change?1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbt2xKV6P6T
"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAjKh0NS2Sz0
"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAqLcd2J2pFw
"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJW1nvNvIQh
"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3C4JBGECv5
"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAUnCdvzc6Jq
Lee, Mike and Daniel 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAnAyj89kVtu
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgLLfz9tZ8M
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1178Please respect copyright.PENANAP3C173bPoM
my room to get my shoes.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAwvfGVy8KU7
After I wore my white 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAu6PoYFbmHt
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXiA8DHizVN
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAUWbsjjJjBT
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANANuCFWzrdIa
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1178Please respect copyright.PENANAzw7nprGwN8
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAEm5d27z2om
"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAh2jonmkusW
"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAULM06aBxIV
I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5HTl98Pdff
I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAiyX6jqwZyl
"We can go, now," I told her.1178Please respect copyright.PENANANudmPUbL0K
"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhnpXGm1DLo
"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ultion9pe
"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAkGrNtlZxUv
I smiled back at him. 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA4z7KLuOG84
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAg5FimVCRv0
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAduAXHI0U6N
guards in the other SUV.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAmIjKmeHP4z
"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAoHfSaitvp2
"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAeWcwEc6jrW
"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAEV7TMerf5v
The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1oZjaVCB4K
"So, where are we going?" I asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAV0cGrwRLAe
"To the mall," Lee answered.1178Please respect copyright.PENANATFH2Ct8Yrd
"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMMugoBPHqz
"What's wrong with the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtMJD2Y7HFs
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJ846qCCTd0
best plans just come out of the blue."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA665S8iJdOn
"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1178Please respect copyright.PENANARaWl0jDupO
"And waste the day away? No way."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAKxxyLyHJPc
"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAV9XpRWb1Io
"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAq2B47oDuc6
"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA76DcPRARIP
"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAkNCLJBdg0b
"No. Zoey might have 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1gVSYlE9dd
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA8l4owVrYAG
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAcli0b4bcir
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAmw7dUAxdnv
"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3rZjub8HJX
"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA8TIPoIhTyy
"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAy6B8MyjfRn
"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1178Please respect copyright.PENANADvpxlrSapW
Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2UWcVdIOSy
"I don't know what to do1178Please respect copyright.PENANAOqTvBJuQY8
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1178Please respect copyright.PENANAsAahyuUkcH
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1178Please respect copyright.PENANAlAMWeay6Sa
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1CJZ1yYoOp
somehow."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAoktymiQSGw
"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ0mKDlHtq
"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAdYrJHf9Qqw
"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAauMZVagaYa
I folded my arms as I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAxmteXUm83M
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1178Please respect copyright.PENANASJD2dVX5gx
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0xad3W13do
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAG86FrxJM3a
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFUiPQVBUZu
We soon reached the mall1178Please respect copyright.PENANANoYRMq0mtH
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAaugI9wNPBM
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAthUlJYKBgy
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2MwFkLkowZ
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAlESd096FcI
the bodyguards were around.1178Please respect copyright.PENANApIy2sg62nS
Lee and I first went 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAwauelXaq9N
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAxN4h7yTGrX
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1178Please respect copyright.PENANAuAa70A67PR
a while. I was having fun.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAieFKqpy8dw
And when it came to the fans, some were brave enough to go past the guards and come take photos with me and take autographs.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAaPr5NVcPCm
Lee and I soon came out 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAjDAevF2WIp
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJwpY7hkvfQ
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA74HwQGhhuo
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1178Please respect copyright.PENANADnNOlnvN5A
our bags because we bought way too much.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAWV9Z0Itjgt
When we walked out of 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAguRt01cSdT
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXyNDDGWlk0
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAIjN9qMZuyt
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAVO2st0Eg6Y
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2wC6r5JLed
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA4FZMdPHN17
I couldn't answer Lee. I1178Please respect copyright.PENANAlcoqyOYXN6
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1178Please respect copyright.PENANALcD0XBKXQC
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1178Please respect copyright.PENANATZm6aYrwKA
"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAiasYx9nUTH
"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAeyPFRT8ZtK
"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbsMF1O7Ifa
"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyNhtA0w4vb
"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2Cz2pqaGBX
"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyLI2XH58fl
"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANA227TSHekfh
"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMnCoBYaqna
I looked at each and 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAR391j4iVwb
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAwVgF4oeWM9
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAViaMnLVfTk
"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAavQYYpKXUa
"What?" Lee looked 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgsaLiC3X6b
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAmMOePBoEDY
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAAQaEiTeTqv
panda."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbnvhlooM5k
"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1178Please respect copyright.PENANALrwQMArTrs
"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAq8rcjmkSk4
"Derrick's brother sent 1178Please respect copyright.PENANARCoSkdekXE
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANADmiZGwLld8
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1178Please respect copyright.PENANA6a0YQwT84e
bear."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAatSzX9MPWC
"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbvVcAIFu0u
"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANArNbABCORBO
"I don't get it though."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhdIZnBRxtP
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAEX9GJMZm7P
so concerned about that small teddy?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAIZhlg00Yyi
"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMZ7oHJQxfs
***1178Please respect copyright.PENANADfd9mBgJDf
Zoey's P.O.V1178Please respect copyright.PENANAwuL8aVyqaG
"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAngoEDuvDk1
"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1178Please respect copyright.PENANApksyspofA4
"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAOcZTFztnQi
"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAR0QpBaT7ZL
"How am I treating her unfairly?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAzeALCa77MI
"You moved out of the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAYFYW5OwQfy
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1178Please respect copyright.PENANARrBtb7td1S
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAa3h9zOJ5Xh
of alien or something."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA8NIxAabAxr
I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAT59Lvi01G3
In a quick flash, a 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA250xKjP3Qz
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAkDqVEDv5C8
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAnVcNL09Ywk
"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFlbGmZJbtG
"Do you want more of 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA01WJlFbaMb
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1178Please respect copyright.PENANALeZfQUFNWM
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAe5cIB3MmwU
"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAp51ife9OT1
"You got that right." 1178Please respect copyright.PENANATozc5A7BBC
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1178Please respect copyright.PENANAim8i1RKWv9
ignore her like you're doing forever."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyCFGxEmGfC
"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1178Please respect copyright.PENANASzQEnweZP0
"You know that sooner or later you will need her. And besides, she is always going to be around whether you like it or not."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZnPqo8z3pj
"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAS8GJvQv3J3
Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1178Please respect copyright.PENANARKCOyut9HD
"It's normal for someone1178Please respect copyright.PENANA7TW0CmQmf4
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1178Please respect copyright.PENANAOtjoPeCQbR
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAUxwrY6xgw6
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1178Please respect copyright.PENANAGLF6o3o1G7
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAVCfahAjDkN
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAzEdlxfXxTw
I always hated such kind1178Please respect copyright.PENANAnZrtaFYGGF
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1178Please respect copyright.PENANATLy3Xduuwx
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1178Please respect copyright.PENANAxbmzrfX2fE
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1178Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0OnPNdMGP
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1178Please respect copyright.PENANAg5ZRveGC9G
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAxEvRijap89
nothing.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAH6xwoJprRH
I've never told anyone 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAdXP2BoqsF3
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAG40w7fB04K
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXgNHpy5XYh
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAAd5tkpH8YT
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9TRVMuYqED
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHScUvnARxS
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA15fMkz0xRL
I am Yin and she is 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMNHep1N7YN
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZO4ixHolCL
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHANa9Sd1EX
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2SGYU2igh
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1178Please respect copyright.PENANArq7w8uLkCd
And now when I needed 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAUNaeQhTB2I
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANALGbxO6eOsb
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1178Please respect copyright.PENANALNBU1xXDj3
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA4AMFHXysMh
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAjF5MFzQG7j
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXKGTYmn7BG
It all begun when I went1178Please respect copyright.PENANAM4dRcNESpt
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAKhZOXIdnnW
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAfSjgSnGaiY
this mess.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMQtjWNsJNB
We were having so much 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAGWi0z3iXi9
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgOkbVdhKlM
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMfNoRXLuEH
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1178Please respect copyright.PENANALVDsbTeTos
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMqsI09PeaS
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtAb6jNSASc
things did go wrong.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHhw5tP2n73
As we were watching the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA7epPMshZA5
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA6K4uX1HQfN
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1178Please respect copyright.PENANASuuyYPKyNf
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAj2M2jlftlk
When I looked at him, he1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgdAvugkvfq
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFVEC72pEre
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2fyZq1Pkw3
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5IqJwU4YHb
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAj7fg8vh1aA
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAiWpCchR2GD
After the show when 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAH9liVKuG79
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAIvE6wGUuEV
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAsaIJtPGJpg
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAb0fzlOgP9K
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0VfKP5xNwe
take a few minutes.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3AniFrGeLi
I didn't find anything 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJlJX5TgNsz
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ6ISw2oLH
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAdlA3mMZ2rR
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAoJeS1BnGjS
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAoaupv84VbE
too much.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtF7lhzmiGn
Jehan led the way out 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFrTU2RvaP3
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAoYRiFozFF5
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAv6KTlWJyVW
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAPueSamHAKO
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAlElCxoOI3B
that I felt a little safe.1178Please respect copyright.PENANADgjgZVHlJO
The two of us soon found1178Please respect copyright.PENANAluSiwA6T32
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbdECgnnFig
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAN289JPUWXp
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0oqt6WCzO4
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5B9bXb3E8G
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1178Please respect copyright.PENANACHdJGS5hqi
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAz7D3lLzn5R
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1178Please respect copyright.PENANAmktjUZmeZ7
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA4mRuMeVbxc
menacing.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAcpzu6A3Gsk
He gave me something for1178Please respect copyright.PENANA7bBERiZOIs
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0nmNBXlIC1
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAkaUiIvQubX
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAYxASWK9pbG
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgMnbWQgnBL
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAaPiFVZIt5Z
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAPT5FnAhFJp
Whatever he sent me that1178Please respect copyright.PENANAkTc3fGfCu7
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAvY5F1XIFeo
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhQbApIasnP
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAV0aWdAlLGJ
happened yesterday.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA8JV3aS5riW
I had never been in this1178Please respect copyright.PENANACCGWPvkw6D
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1178Please respect copyright.PENANAPfHsx7U2rW
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1178Please respect copyright.PENANA00GE6i8tnp
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1178Please respect copyright.PENANArFnW7dpBh6
crying out loud. I had to do something.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAH09KJvBkR0
My phone rang bringing 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3GPiF7Y38E
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHm7moDLzTc
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9R3hK5wGYt
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAB0kiZ7Ql1E
"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1178Please respect copyright.PENANASQYVb74Gtb
"I...uh, ya, I will," I said as I picked up the phone and answered the call. I could already feel myself starting to sweat.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5FUy9INEnK
"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAqLOHE3oCbA
"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFjEky9jOYk
I would have told him to1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtsCE4p0cTe
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1178Please respect copyright.PENANASWiKMOVIQa
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAQxtZSqTPR0
"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAcE3TVg56rC
"Looks like you aren't 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAxPvK7yQHPO
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2a3SC6KXRS
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAS3QSDbLEee
"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAEWgTOSxV70
"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAaaWNEBtNSv
"Just get to the point, 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJD8amitOCo
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJDQLxmzL3j
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAz9bT3Vsh1V
"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAxpgAx2pmO7
"Today? Are you serious?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFbrosjTIE5
"You know that I am. We meet today."1178Please respect copyright.PENANADzTc9AqHUi
"But where?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANActUJQ2e70M
"At the mall."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAVNb0ahCFvn
For a moment I almost 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3kGid0MyDU
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1178Please respect copyright.PENANA54Bf2VWHL1
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAlE0SjCz3XI
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAkSgRdAFkkk
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA52u6WJUwDY
"What's so funny?" Jehan1178Please respect copyright.PENANAEQI8zMzHBI
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1178Please respect copyright.PENANABXa6xQSevq
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAm26JfKB42a
myself.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAk3YwyTQIS7
"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1178Please respect copyright.PENANATWcbCziQk2
"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9AD8JTVZxv
If he thought saying 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAGrEKf7Kgb4
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1178Please respect copyright.PENANANBLJAXpB08
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2GogwfWtvp
"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5plYd0xmku
"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA7FGLtwdZYH
"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAPAx1Bj8Wlj
"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJEAXq4Onb6
"Ya, sure."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAahyQPTiHD4
Jehan didn't say 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAs6chi4euHe
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtibrh1O8hi
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyzuJMlWWrO
Typical.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbJjbNl9swv
"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAmCJP7bHEj7
"Oh, it was Seungri," I lied. "He wanted to see if I was free right now so that the two of us could hang out."1178Please respect copyright.PENANADXDoE2ScyE
"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8unJX6Ew1
"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAQikFK7maSr
"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAEHFtGGYzYa
"Why? You think I would?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANARO9vFIxRSU
"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1178Please respect copyright.PENANArE71m0ks79
"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1178Please respect copyright.PENANArNAS5f3E60
"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJKD0Bhynj5
"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAWdBbswYrTN
"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9t8CERoGMe
"That one. Where is it?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANABmzVxgoJMV
"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA8NMID5xfLp
"I just want to ask if it's still around. That's all. I hadn't seen it ever since we went bowling that other day."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAEG4MrGmznk
Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbSZuNahgt7
"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAYG0oC6Onq8
"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3PSuisTuD4
"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1178Please respect copyright.PENANALUCxzYRpI0
Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAddrKvPDrJQ
I quietly went over to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAaImvPJdq4U
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyi5izEQExt
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2ltV6WkcwU
soon.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3o1mUqO61B
I came to the drawer 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFZMjFJmqjk
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAAh296dZOaU
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1178Please respect copyright.PENANALWkm1IewW4
I looked at her bed and 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAQm9W3u0EQg
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAF4SCOOvkBH
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAAPuj8pEd9m
"There you are," I said softly as I took the teddy. "I think it's now time for you to leave once and for all."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9GRRb1KPvT
I heard the tap in the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAt4qBbFwlhn
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA98naQ6pIAm
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJZeEBA4dQj
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtfaSAae4JB
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAX4d4z9Q84L
***1178Please respect copyright.PENANAxm3aU4V3yD
Sam's P.O.V1178Please respect copyright.PENANAUTtFfiIquc
"Do you really think 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2qxrlPxktL
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAsyNUockxdr
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtF6N2U73w7
"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtYNKmaGd0U
"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAvG2KGXe9Yo
"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAVWgkrbmshb
"I hope it's not drugs."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyecdGR1svd
"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhMeSZBFnAD
"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5qloQ6atdy
"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMeZoWYeFdn
"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAeSxrt8ZulP
"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2Fi3Z8oT45
"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAKUOYLr7xB7
"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1178Please respect copyright.PENANANnQWwkwxwY
"She did a pretty good job on that one."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAPTmVXq9J6f
"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0xlBDoKMDM
"Zoey."1178Please respect copyright.PENANABLHtg07vhL
"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAfSS0k8JlNI
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAxhqSjHXuj9
they couldn't because of our little fight."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAQUCHFVCoY6
"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAOPUokjbVcJ
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jfw0cJm2c
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAoro7F0TOzV
I raised an eyebrow at 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAsjPJoMBhdD
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1178Please respect copyright.PENANACr9Lk7ABsf
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAVKeJXlwnNM
"Shoot!" I said loudly 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAd2N4la1vUe
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXzTEENnr52
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyaZ4ugyjCF
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAA9aMM7BZg4
"About what?" Lee asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAdyqnJjMOv3
"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAWEdxK7sjkO
"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMHIYUvT6Di
"But today might be the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5KgENlppFY
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAa1RKZYCbpQ
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAg4ashL3lme
"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAM2b682PDDY
My heart rate quickened 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXaIOE4jBhc
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAzg1cvQlEUb
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyuKeIYjTkI
"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAeYCSBl2PCe
"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAouxrXGXRcm
"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZv0Y9yTilB
"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1178Please respect copyright.PENANATGB1iSZvW6
"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXFcjpNxs02
Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAw58Qgv9K5l
"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAoP36GTDjNe
There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFCiEWvb5c5
"Alright, thanks, 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAmUZu8pMA0Q
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3C7G3vn7A2
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAfvcZi0IOyG
Seungri."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhbT0kE1DHA
I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA05geq8DVSE
"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1178Please respect copyright.PENANASZICEwDLPr
"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9XJB0ECwSm
"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAcB9Je8hC1z
I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAWIlcT1A0wD
"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9KTDCFpQNr
"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANATBX7QJODd4
"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANATtxRPzqCks
"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAcsJexdqTKw
"Yes, I am." I could 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA8kAd9GGaEc
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAh7UFPsDgIk
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0gXu6PQf9l
perhaps?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1LKTZ7qeQw
I rolled my eyes and as 1178Please respect copyright.PENANApxKSL35kGl
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAOdZ00PjvpR
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0y2pQC7ekD
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAxFXN0JeVND
"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhHw0x1ibv4
"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAe12j7AaBbG
I bit my lower lip and 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAvHRqR08EYu
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAVNlGUw3sYo
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4ZfP1fqXo
"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA70dc27bZvz
"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANANtVqSxHRug
"I'm at the mall with Lee."1178Please respect copyright.PENANARGilkbvU4O
"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAw9iyO6eaGx
"Bye."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMFGbGsNfyp
"Bye, my little kitty."1178Please respect copyright.PENANASgRJfZvBWZ
"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAqiNPPq2xvK
"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1178Please respect copyright.PENANASrBIgTqay2
"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANA09XoiIbaN3
"Nope. And he isn't 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAQy1BDXdElD
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhGJYZnjsK6
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAWk2RgyW3HH
"Oh." Lee took her smoothie and sucked on the straw. "Umm, what are we going to do now? We have to know where Zoey is."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAvfZ9YajICI
"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3bm3fqXZGH
"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAUxrXDix7S6
I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAWcWG0EudsC
Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAaCrWp3FdxS
"Tell me about it." I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAwzUXHMZgZl
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAo6QizSy2jh
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAsoRbQszfCd
"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAetI0AEMNzo
I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZhlYLX7PO2
After we were done with 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAslG1X2Uh6N
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAvVCEMjuNXK
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9oXNfvkPdJ
As soon as we walked out1178Please respect copyright.PENANAe2bAUWZsMF
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1178Please respect copyright.PENANAYDW386oB0J
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANASvC5psUCus
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAITYpbqnf5H
looking black suit stepped out.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAzqQEFBabJT
Time seemed to have 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZhPiukprBa
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbdCQdS3ESf
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAINi9NKhvdC
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAsvHMHval1w
something familiar about him.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAfLgGaye2sq
Just as I was about to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZKRAcjYRsk
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4oHSU7v9u
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3BRnjO6CfS
I almost tripped and 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbikzFEp156
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1178Please respect copyright.PENANA4QtI4p3UHs
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJpk0RADoVK
me from falling.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAURUhHiwFGj
"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1178Please respect copyright.PENANANLuL3yqUS2
I didn't say a word as I1178Please respect copyright.PENANAUNLFv6l9uf
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1178Please respect copyright.PENANABpo8DP5NrB
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAD5OlQoITJq
"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAaeAY6LIVip
"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAWq8LlGt2It
"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAfMZ4qe52E3
"May I please know what's going on with you?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANA6oHsotwpx6
"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAOeJBaUMIEI
***1178Please respect copyright.PENANAnKKP5q3e3V
Narrator's P.O.V1178Please respect copyright.PENANAdrjO88xfAC
Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5DRp8Qsd69
"Hey guys, am here," 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAlfspWvIk3U
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAPyqtWQktv3
look downcast as though someone's just died."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAcOEdlQ4SVi
"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMWhlNT5Zzw
"This is getting real 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAfUwsnwcvjc
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAobZhRXZtMj
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1AxRqfaiE8
her or with anyone of you."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgERZ1Xk0fT
"No, I think now is the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgNOejuuqQk
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhYXu8aFvpH
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAT29CUVhUT9
"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtl1F4LKjCu
"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyqrf80Avl0
"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAVia4cxmX7U
"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5xSnBuKXd7
"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhNl6Y5jUwg
"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtqs8DAJVJp
"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1UO0Ry9Rps
The others rolled their 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA6CPCv4JkAS
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAlMqC1BrXG2
around and now wasn't the time for it.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHSWCtu8BlC
"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAYaUR4PoVLS
"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1178Please respect copyright.PENANApMcXAIHcAL
G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFa2eS9x5E1
"Well, maybe," said 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZtyG9A9OxZ
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1178Please respect copyright.PENANAAtKVRuFK5T
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1GJFGbO5k3
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAPw2cOnyGoh
"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANACj2kmT79TL
"When I saw Daesung and 1178Please respect copyright.PENANATsIKK5jO6R
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbPhzDDzFBy
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAknrWhR4ASY
"And you still are," said Taeyang.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA4VaABDwHWc
G-Dragon didn't answer 1178Please respect copyright.PENANARhyW1nE4I4
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAa1mFVVecoZ
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgd61PN0oeJ
"Oh, I get it now," said Seungri, as he looked up at the ceiling. "But I see no reason why Sam could be in the wrong here."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAa5Ve1bhiqr
"What do you mean?" 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAC42UEgoEYU
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMPJ9bZxgeE
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAuAMBh2F7Oe
"She was just doing that1178Please respect copyright.PENANAW9MWA4OMXf
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXavPKuS5WZ
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAITQlVodIeO
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAipjEs5dAU5
be together."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZGc8ZjUTgw
"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAPgz109qnhu
"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZDRgKv7jvV
All the four BigBang 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAnH0Yrnswne
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1178Please respect copyright.PENANAx7qx9OFMtd
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAO7hCAsWvGU
heard him come in.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAvek4AABUeC
"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAx3oldVZhot
"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhUlpzMFgcT
"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8XnMH5WBe
"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAOn3RzDeupq
"I'm not going to stay 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA8vCfpUNaWZ
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAAj9SaGM1NP
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAr366EaaLPz
"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAaWOvU32Zod
"No, I don't."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAo81psSWxAA
Before G-Dragon could 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAAjJdbWBeGN
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAsi2XkQFdOz
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAh0gxaPfVjF
"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAGcQUZhF2Yi
"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgN6NzAY74A
"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAt1HoVV2GJs
G-Dragon folded his arms1178Please respect copyright.PENANALnnaeJPeBH
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA26ZBxnORrC
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAw7AtGXrV4D
stared at the ceiling.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJ66EDIxBER
"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA59ja5mJuwl
Daesung came into the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z46j4sFmF
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAzyyytpuPl9
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAk2z40oqMch
"Look, I know you're 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtlPgLq2xPQ
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1178Please respect copyright.PENANAkInBN9VvXE
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1178Please respect copyright.PENANADYCqniKY15
never told me anything either."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAmpdUyxlXC6
"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAAcXv2Ndz0a
"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA6HprybJ1F6
"Why?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2gujXu60SK
"She just felt like it 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAvmX6tstX4v
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1178Please respect copyright.PENANADXTThkgG3l
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1178Please respect copyright.PENANABos5veOrpv
long distance relationships will ever work out."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZjD89GSGfX
"Then, why did you kiss her?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3VSQfXLkwt
"Because I know I'll 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAm92KbgUjhh
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1178Please respect copyright.PENANAEBsvJvgrql
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAeafJqPNeYr
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAErFMslSz13
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXuugxc74ti
want to hurt anyone either.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhou8c7JC3s
"Maybe that's why she 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAptygqKBYbw
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMjbch9FLGf
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1178Please respect copyright.PENANAw90iget7lI
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA6oyxFfpSME
"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgjleZqPBXt
"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHCgGVcfbi1
"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAdD8rT95Qo9
"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAlujQcBqowi
"I know."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHhnGVWmBr6
"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAKafUEqmBmo
"I'll think about it."1178Please respect copyright.PENANASBTjPL5ozv
"No, no, no!" Seungri 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAc0WdlHu0xl
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1178Please respect copyright.PENANATU7LCQTzy4
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA67RAVfvIa4
the mall."1178Please respect copyright.PENANARo0LDPQaJY
Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgmeL4syH0j
"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANANDF5NapSC3
"Ya," said Seungri, 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAIChnWZnJ8R
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZzGtVmCgyl
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMqncKbv1Xz
"No way! I'm not going to the mall," said G-Dragon. "What am I going to say? I need more time to think about it."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgFNWXlJ3Y9
"There is no time to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAdZPxWLnpMW
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAx8aX1TFM0l
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1178Please respect copyright.PENANANDhWH2M9GF
"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA05WwVzQ8Fb
"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA8mUCPVoxaq
"We're your best 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAiILnWpdv9W
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ro4xL2N2i
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAV2glJEqaaU
"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAC0ULhb5a7j
***1178Please respect copyright.PENANAonMaMPQ3jk
Zoey's P.O.V1178Please respect copyright.PENANAIYGguHNXkG
I came out of the black 1178Please respect copyright.PENANApLWxa1phx1
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFGi6kQFZ5y
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0j8yN1FPar
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyjcnn2CzfF
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1178Please respect copyright.PENANApmXeeVcwUt
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAeUmqcd3Y06
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA28dgQgBdcW
by my fans.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAQbTQ0JEN3a
I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHUyZcXx2ha
"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAs0gIFuSzPB
"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANALIWeisRyoo
"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAM68sgdO3Xk
"Okay."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAa1tkChMpM2
"Did you bring what I asked for?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANABjWC3BYgWi
I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA4a749L8nEL
"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAUf321mnvJB
"Well, I'm glad you 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAlFZ5oPh4yF
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyveCm6ExYp
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXHBnI9vVn4
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAsBOc1BDcHw
lot smarter than you think."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAELu2QwtmJV
"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAecBNjOIaMI
"Mr Grumpy is such a 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAR7jv5rTfg4
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZJX0MnN12Y
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAmG0KZNDq9p
When I went into the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANApnmuNUbxPA
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAiCwpGdWG2N
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1humi1Qi2H
I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1178Please respect copyright.PENANALBMy3sHPXb
"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAoyH6tTlRJI
"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAkw2jDjzHYi
I shivered. Despite his 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA4cDWod5Xfz
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9LZ89qjoGO
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAmJQX1zLObL
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAIokIOFCDXe
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAOe4POk8wJb
"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyLcKHbhj6J
"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAn0L40q7SHM
"Why do you need to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2SbaL9stq
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1178Please respect copyright.PENANABRn8MjNV86
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAScDzbz2FHS
"Well, I need to know 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5nwfk7ZySE
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA4KUfuWBB2M
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAGyrSHz3qRW
"And tell me, why should1178Please respect copyright.PENANAVTZc8QAocN
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAR74sUijDsE
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAu29yOUQtV7
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAiymxAZUdBy
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAfVCDP3K0pq
"I...eh..." I looked him1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJXspz3nZLj
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3uDLpzgGy2
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAmrTjJVTcBJ
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1178Please respect copyright.PENANABzbZIVsSF4
the kind who would send such a thing."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhNAVDhNDiD
"Oh, really?" Jehan 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA7hg6PLaX9e
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA7oIOArTVpm
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAcOifjUXP0L
"I don't know." I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHtxZLrRkim
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtbwzoXPnsm
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1178Please respect copyright.PENANAwyQgmN3IPT
up to?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXLiZBYK8UY
Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAk5bQc2NZzO
"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbREKqZKrs9
"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAI3cxUciC9i
"What's the matter with that?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAqMfs0661mR
"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA62dgQx1N30
"Don't test my patience,1178Please respect copyright.PENANABeymW82Ckd
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAsYPM6ZOlhV
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAF9q1XGRtrB
think you deserve to you know."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAxWHWjUajya
"Well, yes, I do."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAGzOKvrBEsV
Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXnmNcaB3k3
***1178Please respect copyright.PENANAG10OoakO3Q
Sam's P.O.V1178Please respect copyright.PENANAYbqITbMDlA
I could see Zoey from 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAKBxOtYFatM
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ae0NujQZR
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1178Please respect copyright.PENANARDmWk8XasR
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgqVvTeF4TM
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbE0By4J3GP
I was entirely grateful 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAxQoI9r3Hnl
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAuVYMoDbNTr
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAjgGkKdSd2m
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1178Please respect copyright.PENANAydafQm13ci
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1178Please respect copyright.PENANArALnPTvwLD
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAikjopAavDB
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1178Please respect copyright.PENANApKmMqGItYI
"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1178Please respect copyright.PENANARiSK8qO7WD
"Believe me, he is," I said as I looked at a nice beige top on a hanger and then took a brief glance out the window.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMz5naRlH7I
"But how did you know 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAGTgQp30dFx
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAmsIHMtPpZ5
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1178Please respect copyright.PENANALw8RWNMsXs
"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2yNTp06JWs
Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtD5ZbGDm1f
"Well, ya," I said as I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhpHYwuYbjR
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1ceeQBFUqI
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXv6lPHFtlo
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAe1OqNMhApQ
Lee turned to the window1178Please respect copyright.PENANAIQUJK3xvdk
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtL5zzIuwWQ
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1178Please respect copyright.PENANARYJKpkN3No
"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2uTUXbJjBT
"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAh7isdAMNUA
"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAjCeBTGSZCH
"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAYF8eEVwov0
"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAudkGr5f5is
Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgITob3JJeK
"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAnt1gIpzavs
We made sure to keep a 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHovVAHRL6F
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAvDDySCC2zA
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9D9dLlXix5
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0zeClilbNJ
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1178Please respect copyright.PENANATxIeV4mWL1
They went down the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAKZgF9IjJq4
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAzrlEnHJ8U2
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAkzIMYwb5R1
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3tvrA1owHW
They were led by a 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMufpaqUqQs
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAQbnvOn4Jcs
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA4WComHMZms
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1178Please respect copyright.PENANATe5P9Ff9z3
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHKmPhtnGHN
restaurant.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3wlfYQ18aK
"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJSA6j0hgNl
"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAb0WaWc8mLB
"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAxfc1xP6hVp
"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1va0aXegmo
"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAkNIY4RAMap
"Me neither. But what to1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHgIk1uwwxe
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7IXiHSUee
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA4x2AkhfaJs
I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAKDu4a3niNH
"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1178Please respect copyright.PENANABWPrQvg6WU
"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANArPoNIYdJsW
My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAuWUS8yvmId
"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAQX9sCWyqWm
Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1178Please respect copyright.PENANALAsgE4sW5H
"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFcSJyhfQ5S
"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1178Please respect copyright.PENANADbjybvLlAD
"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZZAx2xF97s
"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAnq1CqQA8SE
"Don't worry. Seungri 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAve4nbqK8oN
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAiRwzusaX4s
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAb1uJ87vlme
and she will know something fishy is going on."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAQcVvkCz7wI
"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1178Please respect copyright.PENANASwWCu9xhgz
"I hope so too."1178Please respect copyright.PENANARjvyqYfC5V
***1178Please respect copyright.PENANAxsYTh7yAkg
Zoey's P.O.V1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3RJgcv3IVW
I looked at the menu and1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgzJyrEZ51H
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAocX09dxDU9
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1178Please respect copyright.PENANAfJnoB7vPsE
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1178Please respect copyright.PENANAw8hJJbfZBE
looked up at me.1178Please respect copyright.PENANARmjpIDF3fF
"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5Zav0ZMFFw
"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAmS8t97zg2t
"Why?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5DCxKShHsh
I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1178Please respect copyright.PENANATZfj6ADwp9
"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2NL6tP4Mcb
"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5Bpc1OuIVa
I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANATVGt2fe4Gh
"What?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANACoS0atee03
"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAlY8kbd6diN
"I'll try not to next 1178Please respect copyright.PENANArjGKn6DGBg
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyvoJghBbMU
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1178Please respect copyright.PENANADfUyMy77jK
"Now, are you going to tell me?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAD47BYAJT81
"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAuZqq3i8ilF
"Not tell anyone."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHqgHoQJMFq
Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1178Please respect copyright.PENANArCi1iilhY4
"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA4lmcuEv8bm
"I smuggle diamonds."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAVtg22IEKiN
My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1178Please respect copyright.PENANACnqc6xm7qB
"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAIqUsO2mBmD
"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1178Please respect copyright.PENANASd3ILPIKBJ
"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8DTL8e4OP
"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1178Please respect copyright.PENANARUgoflbseo
The waiter came with our1178Please respect copyright.PENANATBsVlOZjFU
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAx8QcMBadyA
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA8vnVrmFmmR
"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAH8Ee12P54U
"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAIf8llyTJct
"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAVvT0GiSA1K
"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA383BLWQqdh
"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbpjn9jWpgM
"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAfud6z7y7u1
"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAU68hHgXbNK
"Is that why you're so rich?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMpoj7JSFPP
"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAAix0QyKPcj
"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAEVkhplziJC
Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAC7NAUg5zV6
I gulped. He was giving 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFa5fUeujyb
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXxCrlEIIDM
manage to get out of this lunch, alive.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhLdWYkVqq2
***1178Please respect copyright.PENANAk2C0MQEQOE
Sam's P.O.V1178Please respect copyright.PENANACbbQ96vtMv
I was waiting by the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAoRCYpQvmV2
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXwUaZKif4P
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5OiCkqe8fx
car? What was he doing here?1178Please respect copyright.PENANAl9H81AQy8a
Seungri came out of the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ws8E3DOOv
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1178Please respect copyright.PENANApyvN3GAmPf
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAKrq7KqSu8f
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1178Please respect copyright.PENANAOzGNuEwFgd
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAdqu82fvebD
what I was expecting.1178Please respect copyright.PENANALSN6tbyRC4
I trembled. What am I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAErU52YiVBZ
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0PwQtrKp4G
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1uQhzfuXfu
give Mr Teddy away.1178Please respect copyright.PENANANLcH46w1Gt
"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAV8TeWv3rPp
"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1178Please respect copyright.PENANAn6oMHgpH8M
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3CG0EDKiUT
"I, no....I," I didn't 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAlVYCD5wtVV
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1178Please respect copyright.PENANArzKzC97pM5
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1178Please respect copyright.PENANAOlY6fzJHkK
"I was only expecting 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAWCkNjgqEXh
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAypYvg9kQb4
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAj5aVSTvYlj
seeing the two of them together.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAE97mgmX7KH
"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAjcIuwrEkPQ
"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA3YLZbIcIbb
"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAz36fXkCIWF
"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtsH8GmH2yN
"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAfc5JBvjt0x
"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAdLoci9213U
"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1178Please respect copyright.PENANASxiqsN4Rwd
"Come with me," I said 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAwpu4JEy90B
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAlsEEbedNab
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAKwUwhP7Lbw
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAINDemqUym2
When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1178Please respect copyright.PENANADVlBu6fcoU
"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAaJovipNyGm
"Hi, guys. You're 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAqhzwaN8vev
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1178Please respect copyright.PENANANGKWma6fp9
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."1178Please respect copyright.PENANATCNpnLL87d
"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAPV9xuAnZva
"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAh5U8pig6r4
I could feel Lee's eyes on me and I could tell she was scared of telling them the truth. So, I had to do the talking.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA45FBAPXQqe
"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAAeoUS6b0vf
The five BigBang members all nodded their heads.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5lybJgUglv
"Well, if you look into 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAN8xAha4S3d
that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAycNQzYOWmZ
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXnOI9mtnfy
The five all turned to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANArlkO18Ogw9
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1178Please respect copyright.PENANABKCNYCKIpm
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMwZwUEcOw2
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1178Please respect copyright.PENANACOEEsU3lbO
"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAecMbKyKi8M
Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANADZt5JdAFgZ
"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAewh3Nqspfo
"Yes, I do," said G-Dragon looking through the glass window. "We met him at the fashion show. I'm surprised why he is here."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAeO5HXmWjH7
"We were also wondering 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAwrkHKXCRgN
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1178Please respect copyright.PENANANX4zRvKtVz
them, but decided that I would rather not."1178Please respect copyright.PENANARLSYyHVafj
"Why?" Daesung asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAEUETcBqUj8
"Well, Zoey seems to be 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAKZw2d4lT4E
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9tewEqlQKN
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXegTkH5yny
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhwwNXjlBaE
"Aww, so sweet of you to think I could solve that out for you, my little kitty," said Seungri with a smile on his face.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA13dwqLg6dy
"Huh? Wait a minute," 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAYmvsRDvSrI
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAIa2KGU5CxK
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAqD1olkB0wM
"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAdV1RvGfLzQ
"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA7X83ftjJKj
Everyone turned to look 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMKdkiBPxRL
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAvDhAYZz5Te
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA62MXn1b0zK
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJCcJ9LUC2t
"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAUJprNk8iXO
Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAUB7cP9Wdex
"Here you're now 1178Please respect copyright.PENANALXz9dChjjI
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAB40oWrqav1
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAoXJIYIsyRW
"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXGLSEAE79l
"I'll talk with G-Dragon1178Please respect copyright.PENANAl1eELVw7xq
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbRVa7ssDII
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAcltWYRTxn7
something, quick.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAvlHsUZPXo6
"Okay, fine, we will 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAGVQPid57hg
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA8QTHhjYmHR
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1178Please respect copyright.PENANATgfSUFdFra
Yes. Finally. I thought 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAsf2vNoFwUU
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1178Please respect copyright.PENANApB7MW0Nh4A
everything was going to be delayed.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAcCZtD1o3Y6
"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAPrTTgAAlrj
"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAcBVyElYN9m
Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAt8nRHyllcA
"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAWlOGnjoQ9E
As much as I wanted to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFXUr5iui7X
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAUkvCbA4LmN
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0VEBrJNSfu
***1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyxh4u39LTY
Zoey's P.O.V1178Please respect copyright.PENANAsI73UtQbuh
As much as I tried to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAybQ6w5eOI0
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1178Please respect copyright.PENANAaeCaDbQn3A
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1178Please respect copyright.PENANACbbTuK2wBh
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAb70dik9MWF
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1178Please respect copyright.PENANARVWMM46fIO
"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAWXREbuwvBC
"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1178Please respect copyright.PENANALH1Og78Cku
"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAGH0eBcGd2J
"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1N7riDvPRO
"Looks like you're getting all worked up for nothing, Zoey." Jehan got a napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAi8VxlSywSu
"What do you want me to 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9zDOdkPCJR
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAE1qMl8X1KG
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA6lllaIbyw9
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1178Please respect copyright.PENANALvNB3cZ4y2
"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4RR4xHdA7
"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA66vrsH9qGP
Jehan shook his head and1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0RueztCuMz
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1178Please respect copyright.PENANANJjqgJc50g
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAoAq84IVpTT
annoying."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAnnzW1QxjJN
"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAmRObGHr3FZ
"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1yMPsnLea2
"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAtCIK5lGWmN
"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbzczjfV83n
"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA6xOvZVHIiK
Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhat5VjDm2n
"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAKtZwxcFXA5
Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyOOhpGfluo
"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAt2Y18ueMQD
Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA0q198blBtj
"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1kBQJIt3rj
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1178Please respect copyright.PENANALHKZwh4xBv
"Yes, for real."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHGG07meWPu
"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAHxodoxgRLw
"Yes. Maybe we will meet1178Please respect copyright.PENANAiAz7SPhIGX
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9r8PbfKXsX
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAxaTePoQCgj
"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAzfidxLCiAU
"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2kHF4Imurc
"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFms0HBIwqF
"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAlELRgmISpk
I took a deep breath. This was it. Once I give him the teddy, it will all be over and I can finally be in peace.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9zLr7Yk2qH
Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAge8zkN1yJz
"Zoey, hey!"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAATow0hrzkb
Seungri? I quickly 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAVVtprhdZz7
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAbSYuJNQL9k
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAoig3Kbis59
here?1178Please respect copyright.PENANAl86wxCuckG
They came over to our 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAdLciU8QruF
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAnpjbKO124G
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1178Please respect copyright.PENANAGMcgeqsSY6
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1178Please respect copyright.PENANApC5UudmiyR
to do now?1178Please respect copyright.PENANAGTyu7nOO0K
"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAP6xLqCiFiQ
"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAudrRLgOTeq
"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ5qFp6jgs
"Jehan."1178Please respect copyright.PENANACdlyn9UYIj
"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA2pLAXBqx08
"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJYHz3kwZ0i
"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1178Please respect copyright.PENANA50RdytJpay
"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFhiIBA7cEn
"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAgUSd5BeG2y
"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAc6TkspJMgW
"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAKibpyk2zqd
I almost spit out the 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAwwbyOENFji
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAzYldQ5QQ9x
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAoEJzBzudZL
to water.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAZX5e2p6gii
"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMwW3mIJ3I4
"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1178Please respect copyright.PENANAYzH2Uvpx5C
"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAO0HyqPaUkr
Jehan looked at me and I1178Please respect copyright.PENANASlvyk3nLwB
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAL1Arv9D0iB
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAo3WXckLM2M
"May I ask what you're 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA9f0Bv5UjUE
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1178Please respect copyright.PENANACfO6uYf2zs
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAv9w447iSjL
"Oh, we just came here 1178Please respect copyright.PENANALVQ8ccUfCv
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAJxAOCTZLsG
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFr9QfostIT
"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAz3G1TmhxiK
"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA5oT2PkqV5z
Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA6PbjxktFQ1
"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1178Please respect copyright.PENANA70ciINcW4H
"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAPkH5eWBb1g
"Yes, we will," said 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAhOY49zWnd5
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1178Please respect copyright.PENANAM0ZIVHxd6X
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1178Please respect copyright.PENANA7x6APlF3TT
"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1178Please respect copyright.PENANAMVA9n4mnlm
"You too," said Seungri.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAoEPhAfpCDt
Jehan gave a small smile1178Please respect copyright.PENANAyE25t7d7e4
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1178Please respect copyright.PENANA1i0pYnwl6c
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1178Please respect copyright.PENANAFGylk5iUm2
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1178Please respect copyright.PENANAeMnP72LrBU
"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1178Please respect copyright.PENANASjuXUknikl
"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAniuvwDGVLi
"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAm1JdDLsrU1
"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAB0ksOlw7o9
I wondered how I was 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAKvZ6Va6Bmx
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAr99ukzUKcb
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1178Please respect copyright.PENANAXOPnCIVxx8
head until I give the teddy bear away.1178Please respect copyright.PENANAEtJGOkZFXB
This was just great!
