Zoey's P.O.V1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRFrrIpDca
Waking up this Monday 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT5XVg7w8i
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseO6NyiydJ
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtzoGbS2D1
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv72QATjVF
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIiRjumKgF
myself to be.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F7iBgb0lE
I couldn't stop 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckXIGLJj1x
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Vp07LLHi
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKgYuXv7k5
feel that something was wrong.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xDmZ0CnhA
Could they have known 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMGlyFvAJs
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHUCWXDd1g
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5ZLnbzkTo
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG30egpgk5g
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeanxzIVAtT
just had our usual conversation.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcAYxoSZFg
I brushed off all those 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhlNO3JgFF
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5NMDCPvyW
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CodxkH6GQ
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw3xirmNwC
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq7Yf1yWVi
But now that she wasn't 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dlUgkrkEU
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkfDi51Jx7
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6hRXs5Sj6
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9zU41rgCV
woken up early before the alarm rang.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7aHKMPItG
I sat up on my bed and 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc07NyWdLH
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnzTgasZ1D
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtCYkczb7m
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdvGojeLH2
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7pQUykenF
After seeing her with 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfxRKW9ope
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgVyujxSgk
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tXXya7Es4
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnD6kZapaQ
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiJB24t2Tf
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafzjMuJ7y0
day. That left me devastated.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGbLKm6W2W
I couldn't stop looking 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeF2yWc577
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9jPRE28I3
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNLFdSoH5Z
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKr24myN7a
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguBMsjfbn5
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgvMHW0TAA
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlPXfT6HW2
That sent me boiling to a1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wi6vCpCs6
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6S38srfir
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTDsTID6tv
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ1iIAs4nr
Christine had told me to1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡING0E7cqZC
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVmDIbKosI
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCULja1auz
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkUJMhAAXe
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhITsDthzZo
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEIzKXO3aA
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbno3G4Bmwb
And now, I had to face 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrujCHqum7O
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6JkklePdN
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS9XScGwp6
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q1mpnxWt6
was still so upset.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WhUyBOrkB
I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrC3uEiOrJ
After I was done, I 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK9RWtNcEC
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95F4xqTllf
others at the dining table for breakfast.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ1yGLkVdw
I found them already 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrUnuMzofq
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq5e3l45k2
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf7AaSb6tF
I felt a little awkward 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zxUQbckfi
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImcxrIjVqa
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruWpbj6vIP
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBRt5jh7vO
that also felt weird.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7boWnRhmD
I know that she and I 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H1MhBfk7m
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz8hygFtBY
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pz8BQvszh
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d3ZJHENbk
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtNQQeBMDo
like something was wrong.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmampLVxNLN
I poured myself a cup of1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSZknzPK3K
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWIg9nuChO
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEAUdQI9KB
"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcsa0P9eZj
My heart almost skipped a1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPvjH16EEa
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQcCr1y8P0
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRVM2XMGgm
too far. I was over here! Hello!1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD0EcIxzJH
"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzF9qBWPZ3
"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsANMtdQJzp
"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX53xbIsYM2
"I have no doubt about it."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aHXMXHJCq
"But I don't see why you1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jbEdBbNeX
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9dUX6tRZu
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24VCvpgod1
"One thing about fans is1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwv1sM6JhF
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXZRYjkEag
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgQXN0i8oL
"I know," said Lee. 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeei7GGwvku
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3P7TJgKev
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKm0Aywr8U
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvLsAU72zm
"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe153PyZZQ
"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vz7PVCKnO
"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnYU83S00W
"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs1iCXmWYu
"Aye, aye," said Daniel.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mjShCSJnb
"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RuV2ocZ8O
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUHFAI2Xdg
"You're just too quiet, that's all."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlylQNfhMk
"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJXhs6ar7P
I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xDKUzMRHL
"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5odv4wLwv
I stuck my tongue out at1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOczbtpuWSX
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeINtATZjtC
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOLu4wqYoi
still wasn't looking in my direction.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9iU0gf6so
Soon after breakfast, we1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3wywhBSv7
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdmCThZS1g
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFiYDgRv6f
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtOmLyc2fD
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJBebcKPQc
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs7oatcrjh
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMm6wLxGiN
she would.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFmWioCjtx
We arrived at YG and we 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbIEE5WnY3
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKImBSDoBJm
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkczdrA6JNR
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83eYrXuaz9
When everyone was 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtmZ1zg8OS
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4fawymK2T
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlITGeIKdK5
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnwcB1g5qp
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug5586CMoW
He not responding to me 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QjuY0GKbK
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt4e5PM6d9
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcKkJYtKFR
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA0BK4D5xo
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1Ilb7CFa4
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcn4t9XQXL
looked away instead.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyS6T7ABHx
We went straight to 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmkIS3SiTS
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXcxeGlDu4
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CXwlZiTCQ
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4sYxKyAN5
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSy6kveidr
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuhh3HGrlA
During pratice, I 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8EYBH7CQD
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8KzUUcf1y
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mcey1PaM1
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgvtYxny91
G-Dragon wasn't the only1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuLD1NvS4W
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyhcMoJycD
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP8epqB3aM
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKGm98OrGM
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7vzipW5ks
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6kY9uW92B
As her best friend, I 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiIp3STutL
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F8k1TUfl6
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fmRIeN0xL
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n5nrYtK10
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gTNCjfoNM
She is also smart, 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKjw185Pm8
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCvL5gsH2n
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyBmmXBlfX
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklpXAcVTn2
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQQDOX5dKb
Sam has a lot of good 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0rO8ZxneQ
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGk6H3ncNV
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q2O42jWg8
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3bXanbuB0
want to hurt anyone around her.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz18OxYEqRq
Realising this made me 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0k5tMWYqr
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUD2otPrbe
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIgefgxhL4
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08eSkMYH2N
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN36aqfcMg9
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXGTMTVvaM
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyPvW6xJJL
realise it till now.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoUxq4bfJK
"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5i6Va4wy7
"Zoey, you aren't 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpYP7uwVFk
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF2imMXzOQ
second time you have made the same mistake."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEqsyfGfcn
"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g86IC1zMI
"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQvcMJMOi4
It was lunch the time we1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAQsBeZmfw
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3uNfMY9kb
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ENytKZQvS
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgMRyvNCnj
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hFDWAl2DB
they were all laughing.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7RI8otNfl
"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyCJNpPlLp
"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaA2D0ugpZ
"Still not talking to Sam?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB3He1GshU
"Nope."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa5VxNw6xJ
TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM5SoQirZB
"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoLQ1N4xmx
"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi8DgcZk9n
"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7nC8Hd3Yb
"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZuvP2KNuc
"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R6Y1b3kID
"I know. But you aren't 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9t6TdJ0rA
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41wCrV4mZm
You would be chit chatting like you always do."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2qHnKRHlM
"What if I just want to be alone for today?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKVuLueHVc
"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SilxsGArk
I frowned. "Why?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fIgnhMhSI
"Because you look miserable."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcfFbFu2NE
I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuj057re5q
"Miserable!"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpP6zrF620
"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbXS6XRT17
I thought for a moment 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ92eev6uTa
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoAEKVkhmt
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaYr2jDgCD
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAynmi9mab
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOVO07DZQw
Seeing all this in front1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJyRJYOkNK
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCyfYzg5zD
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSn8sBgVnd
Until TOP came to talk to me.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ746fsx30kM
"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloIIrb1DoP
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYCJBa50OF
"I don't know," I said 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6vkzvxK6n
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TQygHEyNp
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ2IYqG0dT
I told TOP what happened in the morning and how it felt weird that Sam didn't say a word to me nor even looked at me.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7OMI3nCpJ
"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzHWZijqQz
"Then why don't you talk to her?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgS9l9cuVy
"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnzudChYbQ
"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBfG3amBLt
"I know."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGEKqPOiHJ
"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrfzHSrqLO
"I'll think about it."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFbVxfe6Se
"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQhUgoY3Ur
Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCruezx6ud
"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoWFVvsfyB
"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ112pPVnGSD
The three of us went out1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pu1pbZGOG
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5vED9KmtU
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdY5VRPxBj
As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueh0DLkgyI
"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSB1z0w5N2
"Chill, you just ordered1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvi5pOhcAU
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk3VCvIhtR
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpLbJG1lwF
"But I'm so hungry."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdq1dQ6gAQ
"Trust me, you aren't 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0USagqbQT
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBdxiZniMK
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3gOCLw9tM
have."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6kKufcqaw
"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwb0hEbz24
"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrjsWJ1t5N
"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI8fM3mrcT
"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpgKNHJhFo
"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vZ47YF56T
I didn't say anything as1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLzQh5DPEp
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKIP4SU7qv
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbn3PKkxCt
calling.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUor1PDb5vp
"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmp1zOTtG3
"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HqfA5KkG5
"Okay, well you better answer that call."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG7jvRpFqz
I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCyTzZaGJq
"Hello," I answered.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtoLCyRhwa
"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcMyWquHEh
"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajK7ksSqJ9
"We have to meet today, ASAP."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTJ8dW0icY
"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKimrWBCcU
"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONj4xHA4Ib
I knew Jehan was going 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6hrwmkZVi
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUuPrRz72x
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL4NBq7hKa
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAXhgSF70i
was upstairs in the dance studio.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzEUri9eUf
"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENk48uidMS
"I'm coming to YG to get it."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkzHqp96lp
"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGkYAVwpsr
"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKVUzpPXup
"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBF3hmN9dr
He cut the call and I 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIi3xrEFYC
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF42tBgqFyU
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNR8nGLCN8
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XZ3AEFDks
him they would start to ask questions.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLhrh9A7WN
"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtxyzb5MjS
I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQG1q4oT39
"What?" I asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEUJYNbtXd
"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgbwDVCuI8
"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnI9VoZvr2
"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWReefzeDk
"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDWES7zPD5
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWqL8eVrNy
"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBuRRAN8mx
"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAauYBEQiXe
Dang it! I was cornered 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31gZyYfwQL
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfWpAcYi9C
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupLQmZiSSj
light no matter how much you try to hide it.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirNnLvXnAp
"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ8XtQbQfm
I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgYDyuvoiv
"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC0rvVM1B9
We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6C5oUFIUc
I told them everything 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjBCCgTCjS
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJOFs7n1Yd
said a word until I finished the whole story.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmniHFgsgM
"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeXyUofK8c
"Just you two," I answered.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzjK9agXat
"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Qfp4Bt6H
"Surprising, right?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHrixgGpho
"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUdsujE7SI
"We should involve the police," said TOP.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDbjhdpVjW
"No! We can't!"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT8CfWqOsw
"Why?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpFEwZvcFw
"You know word goes out 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSVoqhDTx6
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWZaR6zV4c
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBNJfc3gBT
"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL41TIYVu8
"He assured me that this1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcczPWJQB1u
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCE1Eo0wHg
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYB3b7xmvG
"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw32bmnEpzn
The three of us turned 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLXvZqsYk3
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYgxIvN8A2
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO3tsFDxtH
"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKD2Vb0muj
"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVjrVyGDuQ
"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhzbtA3gDn
"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9D2EzULST
"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAhtmtAPTQ
"Random stuff involving a1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6rr3rGtJF
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlk0aSlC1F
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMCwq6LgjO
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxm05Bj6uV
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF1CL9io9r
I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf1CxdzH4W
"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq616INr3R
"Okay, I won't."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1oyRfxUsE
"Sit down."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TlTakFk8E
Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAEw6WE3GM
"I got myself into trouble," I started.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHZfk1vxwo
"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrWZbizZeX
"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcHeAUhNJY
Christine's face soon 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1ID544Jjr
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ9btJZmtR
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcGTBSfOIq
"What!"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4Ku3P4J6j
TOP quickly covered up 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdGOnOMQ7L
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKve7Oq9VH
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT5KsxdnWj
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiYP36Fzbd
"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqazcWnEg7
"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ7rqBCp0B
"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZooVHwLbX
"Of course I'm mad!" 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJONsjgY0C
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj8phjUbzW
but this by far is the worst one of them all."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOdqUwMOqR
"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmvXUSPODY
"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPauUltEgs
"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUpEvlbEsO
"Ya, I remember. What about him?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x9i94d9Ch
"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOEwGxR46z
"WHAT!"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBoyjThLxT
"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CgHDd3RKs
"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3khHaKOHB
"And the one I met at the café," I said.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu6XoGzU1I
"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEm9E1au8Z
"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuPpBTk5MX
"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGndSAY6fx0
"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQxYCGTmdq
"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyBaT3Ujhb
"Ya," I said. "I planned1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWCxrFzQia
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93tryhb3er
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z938TQQNG
"So you're the one who 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhpnSa4deR
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWNtX34X08
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yx9Lc7Jle
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUETVXNZZS
out with Seungri."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw835P39svi
"I lied."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRDAZHqmmO
Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDpVaviT8g
"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlSXpaKR2i
"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLU1EMJ9cR
"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW87pDQQUwJ
"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm9YGgaNxv
"I know. Now he wants the teddy bear back today. And I don't know what to do. He wanted to come here and get the teddy himself."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5136tbDpJX
"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk9IDMTBA9
"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ftHmcV66c
"Now where is she going to meet him now? She has to take that teddy bear away or else it could land us into more trouble."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvIYxg1rl5
"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZRtVrNqNE
"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxfC3zsw3s
"But where?" I asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdSGEBYqKc
"Tell him you will meet at the café. The one you had met him in last time. TOP and I will take you there," said Seungri.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAFgTFwg3Q
"I'm also coming with you," said Christine. "And don't refuse." She pointed her finger at me when I opened my mouth to object.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dAL98OgO4
"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRkWLX9D7m
"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFikLtHoAr
I took my phone out and 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpvGWKGRHR
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuvJuhMMyE
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jyvqy8qOQ
"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3qCC0kTwz
"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8ABFqZ9Ag
Seungri had ordered ten 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO0JF1PWgp
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4iAX5pJjH
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgao5APnfe5
favourite.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR7dXqvvXl
We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZwM25cmjX
"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYGxL7NYYC
"I'll be ready for 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yWzF0KeFN
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNnqmAu1pf
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8USdQ2vHC
"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jb4MGGs9D
"And G-Dragon," TOP added.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW11FcUbcD
"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNw6DCWnL5
"Well, someone has to," said Christine.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqgffvmGZi
"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXHx6QNdGp
"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMOaPgaznw
We found ourselves back 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSfAXJL4R0
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo13wGyhpOz
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I0Ieoz5A5
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIRvTUSk0d
paranoid?1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EFuL2kOKw
Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNb1P1S7Mx
"What?" I asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwJ3Oz81cG
"You were frowning," Christine answered.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatHlXHbLw9
"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRztNhPR2RN
"Says the person who 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCPD7MkFm6
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYskrkdL99
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAsvCn9yh9
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcLbdp5dNa
Soon after lunch, we 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0bDAQI6Ma
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl46FGMfSgZ
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUkpX3yWLA
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqRhLVE0Jv
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgMKci9QMn
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5VDxSARvL
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SSzCsgt9r
At some point in the 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxULhm2Obb1
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaZ86XP3oK
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWku36pojUl
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwKKLO6cnA
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqdN4ZQy9B
back to practising until we could pratice no more.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL1V4XUCvd
It was five and the sun 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YxOnJfR0F
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vqd4PffmH
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZFwOstFzR
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShGpgPwcM9
side of me. We were all pretty tired.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYmXdTMwZm
The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyXT0RdKYw
While I was resting and 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOstmQtvOp
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU84JcGf4MI
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2wUa7zCgX
look on my face.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU2m1FgS1O
"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6aMnOlG7Z
"Go? Go where?" I asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDBEBERXMj
Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b0Rbr9zkI
"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd2Gn6Jaqr
"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVE96C1Dj2
It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XTVMTRoym
"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfzogTFvmQ
"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmZHF1tacJ
"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IqjWdj4Mj
"I want to follow too," said Daniel.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuKYjk9cl1
"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HDGfaNqFY
I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIC0Gv6Df0
"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCv6iqaKWN
"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlYfUDy64Q
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvENbHBFCTU
"Why don't you want 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfm0mDIFz9
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq7PjJZo0S
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWZZwgF1op
not to follow."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7g515iogs
I wanted to protest and 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnwsCLnzE3
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK7b1c2yZO
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqSg7md77R
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZdnRNehxj
"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO16BOP9Al
Dang it!1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBChXxVCICD
"Okay, you'll find me back at the hotel. I'll tell Collins that you had to go out," said Sam to the others, giving them a smile.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDyUBfXAN7
"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYHygqhSBl
"Thanks, that's nice of 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Z65AFjfQ
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME8GbrK8A7
the others. "Have fun you, guys."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTfdwonws2
Sam and Daesung left the1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlfqDEXofo
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtxgAIZcLo
myself that the two also made a nice pair.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHosmVfbk2i
"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLRy6aCLjk
"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo3hgZXgtV
"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyF8aY2MEQ
Christine stood up from 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYkFpgxMTR
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoAim1EQYX
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn72WqQkfB
I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE6NVstZbS
"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69MqH1ZjQY
"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhMfQzMrGV
"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFGB5ceIwQ
Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3GESaOwPd
I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SIJwJDfHh
"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQIqLSxUce
"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0lrKlFKsD
TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bnvFIFNia
"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULiTqRIz9e
"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjagiitQlJ9
"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR6FnLtSGE
"I know," said Christine.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UZgJdO3Xt
"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ736PNiLHbp
"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhn8GqZrYL
"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7IzsnTuoW
"So that she can judge me? No way."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLRJd24fEM
"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0qnmR4iBd
"Don't try to convince 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRgNB02r3z
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtxL00DwUO
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXZrdQqpXO
like she could hit me with a hammer.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEj3tRuOlQ
"Okay, let's go," said TOP.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yW7daDDa6
I got up from the floor 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5L7kpVvbX
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiYKXqlWq4
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIbApNb1jo
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx3TMckxsJ
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPoD0MRqCe
The cars soon left the 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7KCWjsNDR
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyroJuPeJc
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAiOeGXVlR
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnFAEqHjHU
"Can you you please stop1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPywC3vnjy
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC1RCJIT6e
the teddy and lose it in the car."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNfFN5xEN6
"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdhhnwD6WW
"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq86fvkGBX6
I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqav454ivYm
"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GmtQbriFf
"I just want to get this over with."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURo2irznoj
We were soon packed 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVGrDnDoP6
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzmUkro0RO
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccOTcmStCC
turned to look at her.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PDHxMaWnE
"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44GKJhPBl6
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQlmwHI4lT
Seungri also turned to 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe9o6gBuPe
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr8Mjz8YfT
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dk5HNFf7e
chest and I wished Sam was here too.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB4MTKEuDd
I soon got out of the 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdKo9QSok5
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBOiH8kict
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnjIOocZa1
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUe1mY3YYH
Before I could find my 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQeLzHJ6d7
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNKr38Kemh
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60uaNCsHAz
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcrU1FaWch
I quickly went in the 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfROhVTv5I
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VCn9NXaPO
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxhJ9jZBHj
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e623H4Tvu
I slowly approached the 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MwqSoYH6M
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI4V5R3vUQ
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVAvUkwrgO
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTNgcnYgwp
hesitate to end my life right here.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcDoggm336
"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf3UlaJvia
"I was practising today," I answered.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUiKnsUtHm
"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwprqvNfPjz
"Thanks," I frowned at 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcpPLQDJB0
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn8PnJjnWU
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTps0jM3aMD
Jehan smirked. "Certainly."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFiG8jga2I
I quickly reached out 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQR7zT0cO1
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI2lvattoJ
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIdcUOUDsG
"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI8FVoRg6h
"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aQAYtgAqs
"What now?" I complained.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNuUXc0gqw
"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e1dYwWGV9
"What do you think? That1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RIWtPQGlo
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIdn03F1xr
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLYeTGRcMV
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jdUiEXsW3
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCIPLvLUGe
Jehan raised an eyebrow 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwXiHPiNtH
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2lli5wXH2
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZxRKC6OHs
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso6c8nuqs6
"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zDTPTQsGB
"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VUBesJBTk
I went back to looking 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrwHk4jDLr
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiPsHZl8Cb
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvT6fBWHRI
surprise me that he carried that thing around.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9kPbAUpb0
Jehan slowly laid the 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ496DkjXAjC
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sO7ojyL8t
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfgCiYe4nS
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGqYD8qDtj
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HXxWEbkvk
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINfulMzLd6
the teddy bear.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSEB0hqMDW
Wait. I frowned. This 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8fDJUPAYG
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpKvaoChaj
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVrSD0do8i
diamonds!1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KRkvE2VuX
I stared horrified at 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzIM61MYRa
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW0LFkq5P6
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe3l1eI2VC
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNNKkl57s1
I looked up at Jehan and1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaiNDisDnf
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKezo1xIOq6
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHIhARQaF0
that, he was going to end up traumatised.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ2JRzwaht
"Je-Jehan," I said 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1vlVBCgF6
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzCgrcBxME
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfLzQQJBam
there."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8duF6eL2Q
Jean neither moved nor 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnMzwMadpi
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdueDewn3G
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4pAMtOLFJ
But how could this be? 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasvReT8uHx
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF40VRyqB9
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJajRRawjb
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWe8ea9I0B
"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtMpqjfcrU
"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGmg74QxfU
He banged his fists on 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEmvBNbkzL
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezKdsn2ZXP
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIko5XXKvZx
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS1uQlZ86c
"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEYUaHcztB
"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHaMjqyu2a
"I don't know. I don't 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnFuRZ2SEC
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStox7Degno
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZSmlyGIWc
"How did the diamonds go missing?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq7iSRZqb3
"How am I supposed to 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo75cmFwDDB
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhkUV60Hoe
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMtqcHSYdX
"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4gv7k3vl5
"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiifMGYx4HU
Jehan rubbed his 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vPm67mqsu
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1xU6reNfN
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSj9VVX2XP
"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KCSthlXEl
"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLEAaQlGX7
"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnskhIuO1bk
"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1Kya1wC6t
"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05Wwh7Wbe3
"I don't know."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFpRlh42q7
Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1fbgbxx7M
"Ummm," I looked down 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO4jhddktr
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbMgkypiAb
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaXTU90Vp1
"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAkGfsZXQn
"I didn't have the teddy bear with me at the hotel the whole time," I said, looking at him fully in the eyes now.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEERcC0RuKt
"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUs9Lp7sll
"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0drQ4GUdKq
"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS5wQSTKfu
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgYpvGPmpg
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ISh92CemA
"I don't think so. Lee 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVQumRvsOn
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlNjaqcqiM
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9SqzRVZ7b
"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uUUGCtn85
"You're right. But if she did find out about us and all this diamond business, she wouldn't keep that to herself. I know Lee."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjFyosYzDJ
"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvET4zwpSwP
"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwAPr85gbe
After I said that, Jehan1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5WXrAeOBl
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWDPrdEvNE
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmWnLWDqoe
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdM4qrbUW5
look on his face.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRJdBZt1gF
"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMET9zAcuA
"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwOrNIKf59
"I remember one of my 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ywP7b2UIs
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59ICUkn1fA
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFJpDbcRMP
"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbmgGmaUVP
"Don't snap your fingers and be all happy about this," said Jehan, back to giving me that angry look. "I need that teddy, now!"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJKfrKCEmP
"Huh? I can't start 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTlXf8HgMP
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvxOByRLtZ
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGeGs5zOx7
that the bear is missing."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW8dgkvfRH
"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mCzyzcXOR
"What do you mean?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE6ztoD3ik
"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaytTbJuyha
"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczyLsvJ83f
"Now that, makes no 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajUtLb4CKw
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7seImNZo4u
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNYbzbed9B
"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOikh21pNX1
"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLQnHfFON3
"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV9YOsmT7u
"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPCHdxi44O
I completely forgot that1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0737STcRne
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4NRdfd6jg
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA6CRu6rVD
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF4zFqFZje
"Okay. I'll see what I can do."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nNwkzVpJX
Jehan gave me a smile. 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlKQMCVplD
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVuSlo1NR6
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IRdqXjbtD
I nodded my head and 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj55amx8Cx
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxaMK1V4Fd
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2zRmSV3c2
"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KEjCYSoL3
I sat there as I buried 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffLBJOW46M
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhcZg0u5WQ
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG90DNG0Oq
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr2SS6fPAy
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP1rfoamLk
drama that might just ruin my life?1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsVISeXfpL
I hadn't noticed the bell of the café ringing because I felt a hand on my shoulder and when I looked up, there stood Christine.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNs2eExwtV
"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq5gXySmXF
I could hear footsteps 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3ZEEx5VuX
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkm8znMOaf
when they saw the look on my face.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4H7IeCjDU
Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp80zoljEk
"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3WGI0zLFF
"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvHlZUTuSk
"No," I answered. "He didn't."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsvdw14v4f
"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4ZUvvw0pl
"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIyq1d44NX
Mike shook his head. "But who? We didn't know what that teddy bear had until now, so, it couldn't be anyone of us."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHZlkr5dAb
"And what about Lee?" 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzgmbozbDD
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fYhOehBhq
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRAFpXGZ11
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtTZxckg4d
to."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h9vbGNeDp
"This is bad," I said, 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6At1fcoXT
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx1qVkkbEB
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF9SnPi8KW
"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMxOfc6WGE
"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCaC8PUU4K
We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEECVaWTMv
"Sam?" I wondered for a 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZJonz3cud
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwaSjFwHsr
she have swapped it with the other one?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3yZqcX8Yy
"Okay, wait," said TOP. 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHzfuNSCM7
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAquPvdZGEH
what's really going on in the first place?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBppg1oCID
"I doubt it," I said 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzkMuxaYOj
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVkcwpA6Ki
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyFl35Ktei
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn36YnzgGSf
TOP and Seungri looked 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrGjr9DrhC
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMnBSKdrMY
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCzV8ODHGF
it away.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPiPcFT3W0
"I highly doubt it too,"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSpZlhNa1f
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjOQr8tgCv
she would have asked us about it."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGiCYRJbR8
"That's true," said 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsZIA1HflK
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb5GJLnn5L
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDY4rOCJxl
"And I checked out the 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYggtyzzAD
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxfxCZe3rj
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLVrN5mCpn
"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fx9fBFUIj
"No, I highly doubt it,"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHlVNRLB2R
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gCupXWwh3
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMUtW79NrM
said nothing about them entering a toy store."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvBGDCEE16
"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2lhDB3Jw4
"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1tQNtsSoL
"Collins?" Mike asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMphpNVOPz
"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQmS1RXItJ
"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotAP3RZlWn
"But who knows? Maybe he1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhQnPVwtKc
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8A37qIH63
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LlXygW48N
times."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb4LmMRSZS
"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfGghW6gdZ
"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkva7lXMpGD
"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe0CuEoYMb
Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3Ojcpk99u
"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcGFHBagaT
"He was the one who went1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fRiLVV8ih
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlJB5VlX9s
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV9WTxyHUA
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQGmBbeapV
elevator."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t4HnE4MsT
"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXc900tJ1x
"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9D8xE8wtg
"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAiVcQ6LMv
"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkfWAIJpcE
"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFYRsTmZDO
"You're right," I said 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7198y6g48
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPHDzJrRjo
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyvd0k9dcr
"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBf38Z4Qxz
We all walked out of the1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvIkUu04SQ
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK1iVjKOXQ
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz48kRMdMM
While I was in the car 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs1HCznIXq
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsPODlU3dO
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH9aDdoZac
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCHUEyPiFH
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXkWfudo2n
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyAsTz2OYZ
If it isn't him, then 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2umCaEfrn
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i3bKMc5o7
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwliqgvb2qz
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU6iy4HOP7
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdmXZkk2Mz
What if I had the wrong 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh26Fkn5QIa
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3XVUnT0Y7
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjqqVqklp0
place without any of us noticing in the first place?1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnfIASdGya
I hope I could be able 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZAG9y4szN
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS0A5Oh0OL
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that1097Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPyZs2RyQC
happen.
