Zoey's P.O.V1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcss0zW9JJ
Waking up this Monday 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtANDQHju7y
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCjFXFvCkz
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl86a6kAQU
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytX3rv6pD5
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaOnzwzoTb
myself to be.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcqKOJnvN6
I couldn't stop 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVuDTQC2O3
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWsuTrjGT1
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCs6Bb39fl
feel that something was wrong.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXIa96sNS6
Could they have known 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu2SfkVlzm
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshi41xM3t4
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUweY9bfPEs
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFcDWhXcFk
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwMLOHjJr3
just had our usual conversation.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP9uOH6k6U
I brushed off all those 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I4GEQUC5D
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtiXxl1oQr
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxj0LvF62f
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuXcJlrKo6
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLywUcgvF9
But now that she wasn't 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTdKRuCfX8
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbe0uNS7Xb
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUbP8Xijq5
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9U8Ew70ci
woken up early before the alarm rang.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4twtIFyfV
I sat up on my bed and 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypdNWG2432
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknutOFfJYE
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCmasDHlQj
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9ViRujtyg
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy0dz1xViJ
After seeing her with 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPoomJw9vL
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD7QGe5S2n
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqLiROx99K
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqcCW23sGA
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YWePlF9UU
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI1kg6NHwY
day. That left me devastated.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3178dmgK5
I couldn't stop looking 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcFpS7HYDa
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh1rTfsZUJ
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEoZczuXrH
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvg6dfeY8I
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW4IimqeZT
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjhuPHZBDY
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJS9JmfZ1g
That sent me boiling to a1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jW8u7DtAl
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt0948VqY0
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjwyp0LMcr
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hYtWmDnzO
Christine had told me to1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpYCoLY4hk
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcw1D0djvO
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3WtM8zKl8
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMm3F62fUd
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ0GeYY0ZG
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl8thH8uE3
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoOtqawsj3
And now, I had to face 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9igKfVZYp
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE7lNTz1OZ
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4PBA5VLRu
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHO0WxZKcT
was still so upset.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N1uKGgF6V
I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgyNxpKEUf
After I was done, I 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwjXi5lvcx
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9svWnvmRT
others at the dining table for breakfast.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJMLcJkHGc
I found them already 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudLZ7grhFa
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeE3foNoGd
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUzmpPJPNd
I felt a little awkward 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHJDHzdBqK
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26baCHhAqD
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5qlh8LbiR
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHqtXbpVRn
that also felt weird.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCnnPRM4cn
I know that she and I 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuGSMkv4OS
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1KMdpeord
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5gKt5uHyF
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey8QfM0amO
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2zFqkCIqb
like something was wrong.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm7xo3qRuS
I poured myself a cup of1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy4P7MbcXJ
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYu2rVyaN0
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI54J18GMe
"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg4MK2i0uA
My heart almost skipped a1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxkrN5Gd15
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQfaisFzAj
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS2JGOpFHZ
too far. I was over here! Hello!1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZJLKKzY8y
"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtXcVGXHeO
"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ac5fqrFSz
"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR8vaI5bq3
"I have no doubt about it."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBAwluO3ML
"But I don't see why you1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLiKOa56G3
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8P4LsqZaz
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9stLM4Kksi
"One thing about fans is1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T3WUZDjge
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1eNc7Bk1A
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbUO3RP9W5
"I know," said Lee. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsnXPIUqH2
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2oAYsnTqo
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaQASIjcNg
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21CR41Kktd
"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V3un9Up55
"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFuXbEeejt
"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUUPPvl2P0
"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwyt9HruaV
"Aye, aye," said Daniel.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0shBgXvl6
"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMqF6MOFdQ
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqbSB1FSlM
"You're just too quiet, that's all."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iPCu4WmRw
"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxyVQt3nJo
I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGGWUogS6r
"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tRQ6bHl0Y
I stuck my tongue out at1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeZl8jWuLG
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2vHhtmxaz
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7bZQuyYbU
still wasn't looking in my direction.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoar7GE5W9
Soon after breakfast, we1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I8Bt840of
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPnzxBycwT
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse7RKhgJy3
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJomoRMCS6
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBs0FnAksH
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Rn3mXDYu
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqOfFCelHN
she would.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgx01WxEtp
We arrived at YG and we 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO78PXcc1pX
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj8ztLjNOM
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGCDzRVyl8
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuSLgV7W77
When everyone was 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWb0wRBnfD
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPIDOnK6GG
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6XkzWmnHL
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJObBeiLjs
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw0P9OfVJo
He not responding to me 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TntsCTP10
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtgPpexMmF
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82cJvApciJ
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F969pkKFC
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucS29kP1W9
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGIn7xEZa4
looked away instead.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjuhTFc9iU
We went straight to 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRgqzUblbu
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj0UGpVNRM
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNwLkr1GBR
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ568uPoYMVP
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeRGbT2fzL
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWIi2uITEm
During pratice, I 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPQXg0drYo
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzHLr7ToDM
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRg1xtuds0
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDOEOqjsHk
G-Dragon wasn't the only1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqpcLfHcjQ
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BfOTIBbWd
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxWOQDy92L
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4naW37XUzW
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKxpn5vMjf
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrjD46uZDg
As her best friend, I 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox1pK0vfQ0
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSWF22mlf0
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrUunbxkAO
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE41y017vNf
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7q6jPBdxM
She is also smart, 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn22JUbvy1
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV4gLrEkn7
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXBHsHUctP
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPYVCwywaV
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSFB9sHICE
Sam has a lot of good 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOAak3karI
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKi0ns0Gh4
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdbZ5yUH0h
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDK6Ho8PlG
want to hurt anyone around her.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVJhArRvnv
Realising this made me 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn2gRiKw8M
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsfjBOxU4C
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQNzS4bVD5
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu5mCrClGH
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0dwxEXbYg
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHBpRY4jRL
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfwdhYtztZ
realise it till now.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpd1zvLq5F
"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbFty1YXXz
"Zoey, you aren't 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX26T25o4b
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn9iFHeczE
second time you have made the same mistake."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBkWJLTA3m
"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT8wKDqfn1
"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kfqwudRKE
It was lunch the time we1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqBxseWq9V
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv8ihjDHvm
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl6MkqNWBW
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYXzZE5GgH
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVlCn1HlPB
they were all laughing.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuwXUoqBAe
"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NeZucYsl3
"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqmcVpCS0H
"Still not talking to Sam?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VkHK5L4ME
"Nope."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDSkgllAZB
TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVzpv77rQF
"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqcpKASvUC
"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKH3BE08Yy
"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbZkDZ3ton
"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsTCGFdsiw
"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ543XbfP4L6
"I know. But you aren't 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbhPx2TTgo
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw8mQFgfFP
You would be chit chatting like you always do."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzdeAK23wA
"What if I just want to be alone for today?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHu5tXKupo
"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnHd3AZtBL
I frowned. "Why?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdssl46ueQ
"Because you look miserable."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYdBAy66Xn
I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxNzqfHozd
"Miserable!"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi0Lnt7GmN
"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebXE36gSHQ
I thought for a moment 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLlEoX25g4
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6ZtwJnnhK
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiRnJw9aTX
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7ykilrun4
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpjwZEchxF
Seeing all this in front1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB863Dx41S
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh8lXQXXWJ
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ535bbjjtQJ
Until TOP came to talk to me.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhuWWbRmyo
"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wv5osbiZD
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6P3WB3XiN
"I don't know," I said 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWNGIV2Zj3
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXRJo8gYsL
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghTnZeryde
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.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4X8oXaZAo
"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RlmZzgYgh
"Then why don't you talk to her?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXDhgE9kG9
"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wzvb8nNxw
"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bJ16UgRjT
"I know."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO8DMhavff
"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnKHVyle1Z
"I'll think about it."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ330C7hGLd5
"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfCgxu3zIe
Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTS6iCER8A
"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuF3yxgDgN
"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R8osmrFZU
The three of us went out1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ7gO455hv
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIx5PnNAW0
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8304j1PWu
As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTyqdSqnfd
"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAaKJTP2zw
"Chill, you just ordered1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDMdQUiZpC
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TjcLF4zLv
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKLI2LXkJe
"But I'm so hungry."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGAgIOxxve
"Trust me, you aren't 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PenrlmlB9
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3idpaBKsP
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ7JLmdgQv
have."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiLjQyQTi4
"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi5XzeNc6B
"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFUDzjFC51
"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIszyWh07AK
"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvReZFjrd7K
"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvg2FT7qhZ
I didn't say anything as1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgUSxqStJq
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxiqX7caT5
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yp3dQKxI5
calling.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IWLb2xI2Q
"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqw7NiZifT
"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ8LlgxQAe
"Okay, well you better answer that call."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6v9ekqmMx
I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwnfiRYiDZ
"Hello," I answered.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD8mprT483
"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQRLXRC6gs
"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlJG3j6rpB
"We have to meet today, ASAP."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhAvlxisAO
"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9euQSbZ9N
"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2LtfPO56U
I knew Jehan was going 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzZEBXowLi
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3IblIpMsW
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZQblYZ1nT
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FkYehi0pQ
was upstairs in the dance studio.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYIAZ7WyZ6
"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkcq2JDQdA
"I'm coming to YG to get it."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaPPlZ4auE
"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgVaaJ2UF4
"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUOtiIkUa6
"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx3nPeZrCU
He cut the call and I 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxeRUrbP1i
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdFruwiya0
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFiZ1O1swF
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DmlAJJ5Iz
him they would start to ask questions.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6idhc8QY0
"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QWv5dwKek
I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1F8bniyQR
"What?" I asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuSRTXmAGW
"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA1HGTWvHc
"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsgP9Q4oNC
"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi70tTKiTe
"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhpFQPSbKn
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHGDOiJdFC
"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznt4s2RmXW
"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddCLZEIurr
Dang it! I was cornered 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpIDT14JsF
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLCA0ytDjH
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RCpnCTY40
light no matter how much you try to hide it.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa7NmyXpym
"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wHjWJxaci
I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi3ibICK8L
"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr7j7UzyMB
We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeVyEOrd03
I told them everything 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEbdqGIdzw
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8SK2rHHlK
said a word until I finished the whole story.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IyPGJXVqr
"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLdD794SOX
"Just you two," I answered.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDosJdiPMV
"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEQv9eT4Fw
"Surprising, right?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2BMDeFxD4
"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJqmQJlvlS
"We should involve the police," said TOP.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTQ9I9vbay
"No! We can't!"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATlgrkKKXo
"Why?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPvfimjPMW
"You know word goes out 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhFI2eLWGa
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStsPZmncWw
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPedFnv5nP
"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxm4dnjllL
"He assured me that this1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKsPqhnX4g
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMdA7ZsPWf
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQHcD2kOF1
"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTCH4a0QqO
The three of us turned 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv1OmUjaZp
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fkefia41T
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CXJnjQIc1
"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvg9FlOlKj
"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBXVxpnT6w
"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYOnZDcdmD
"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAxIbPxe4S
"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxofo4z2QYm
"Random stuff involving a1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OOGmXT3G5
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhr3sPSNuq
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAind2fOkYi
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbediT6sle3
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj479aw3AK
I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdhV9sJlVl
"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt0cd4mwER
"Okay, I won't."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1aJUVy3WT
"Sit down."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtrlywpzqx
Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgOWRS6OTk
"I got myself into trouble," I started.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgabjV8wkrG
"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kTsMmNIe8
"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZNTs74XD5
Christine's face soon 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJjXX0rZZz
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz49AWZotz0
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fgUUCeZvq
"What!"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F2Cji1u36
TOP quickly covered up 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZFKwSGgx8
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ81k9JOZ5l
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cTU5KrOdU
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgmnAlYuvs
"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW6Bkjhpg2
"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTX0VtnOC3
"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl5vLpqr9F
"Of course I'm mad!" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdNAd7n8g0
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDnf42m7pL
but this by far is the worst one of them all."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxK2aLZ57s
"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSWRc8QXTC
"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmps87Vw707
"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QUIbHoFTc
"Ya, I remember. What about him?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQCnR3YSpx
"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjQ7Bmqj8o
"WHAT!"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SMnmZRfnM
"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHe5QXBwZz
"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pWeEkeNZ4
"And the one I met at the café," I said.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMnyZqGIdx
"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mxsKIbX01
"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryVXnPK8go
"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpXYf58sjs
"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMgRI7TrOy
"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOkBhrq4Dc
"Ya," I said. "I planned1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc7KbiCVcl
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfQOs9R5Xp
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkdpLfYFR5
"So you're the one who 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BYTVLGIO5
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOdq53Jdm5
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZbrrOpqx9
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c0DUFU0FH
out with Seungri."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmrzczUmIg
"I lied."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwHDPut9RV
Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos6yIThnpj
"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHEvs9hKPi
"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOlngAHCZJ
"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEBO7flSgI
"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIePwbWCj2s
"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."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuVt2sChs3
"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbpN71WS2L
"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvNwAaNvBx
"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."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwjvs8BSeZ
"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGOIqFkfDN
"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2CdK94olv
"But where?" I asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwFSPTm5xe
"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.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8TR385iep
"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.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zmd0pzmky
"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwpfXEK1Kf
"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0xYlPHkEu
I took my phone out and 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSbPlfENk4
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hJWZXiNGd
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstRh8wjOY9
"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfY4MZx1mT
"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQur2LWAJsV
Seungri had ordered ten 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk0TeGFIzc
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK0lyx72Er
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LFhhiRr0b
favourite.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYVMOSI03d
We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uLsA5BFLZ
"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMdvVE7xYE
"I'll be ready for 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvHmeMUPfc
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg5UmExVi1
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFm65Z1Do4
"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbhpTnT7La
"And G-Dragon," TOP added.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTElqZC1rdQ
"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFyrrcA94I
"Well, someone has to," said Christine.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4yQupRALs
"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerdokmIEBj
"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffF9d9vd6w
We found ourselves back 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AxHLd5UX9
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvElDdhY5b4
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEu5N446tn
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmQVZ4YK7d
paranoid?1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ADFdSOiOI
Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5W1U305GI
"What?" I asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ7FsTyPA4
"You were frowning," Christine answered.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxqAEs2Edl
"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePYWOU8r4A
"Says the person who 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAgREg5gCd
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMroOzfXqkH
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmil78ThfUF
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOVLmcOHyY
Soon after lunch, we 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdJe6hCBVe
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPwQsiJw5j
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxWP6Oon9C
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYooVQIETrr
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOvpHQW0Pq
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpkvzXkWwn
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GJzv6Gmc1
At some point in the 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK5vNewt34
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgqQu8TYYL
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xWHcCmCmB
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOkPZwqGfp
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjyX6aJHnI
back to practising until we could pratice no more.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek1Qf1bni1
It was five and the sun 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EloeI2LMk
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZPc7uA2xn
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFXyBTlZQw
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJDP8wbWp1
side of me. We were all pretty tired.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghlWQtPmAy
The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkLl9NtheE
While I was resting and 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWZVCAib4s
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhXnOF3E3b
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVuhQIX0cs
look on my face.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ4bMhuDsE
"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPz0PJtNwD
"Go? Go where?" I asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzVfPeEtie
Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupaX6E2gIz
"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yDcO1lQay
"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2O39KUfHZ
It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bsgN4pJk5
"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h9rIgnePH
"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEfghTR1sr
"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOEJKGvXvk
"I want to follow too," said Daniel.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLPJZkwAFU
"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e5b7gDq0c
I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH9fLSWRCs
"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBKLx97CPP
"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNEbRemrrW
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBzB3XWM06
"Why don't you want 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEirrv7L8DG
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJJbKcUStT
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcgHMxjEAy
not to follow."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqweSMQyVF
I wanted to protest and 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAU9jjscJP
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4zZrWAX6C
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqQkbV6PNG
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6sQ9ItfXs
"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WNVYaCkXX
Dang it!1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxgAkzpTEu
"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.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayn0K2gxZ5
"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwwvC65vET
"Thanks, that's nice of 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8YDaB1uPh
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjOHzZuNm2
the others. "Have fun you, guys."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHhPoiLO7L
Sam and Daesung left the1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeIkfcqgvL
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZds09I9WY
myself that the two also made a nice pair.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyVYKZur02
"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpSFiPGmBI
"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93yKsrRnUI
"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lSQPPC8ay
Christine stood up from 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFypBknY6q
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wTDrbe9Te
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaecnRpgaPz
I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSCXK3zk7s
"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB1IXZaQ16
"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7WdtZUrmE
"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZghs0RF8C
Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJQouPNCXD
I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8mYNE1Zzu
"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tcc1A91rt
"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWjEFZ3zG7
TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXAP0pEw9W
"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGUd6hv2wC
"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUXJuWVsko
"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48iXGIHntY
"I know," said Christine.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxAILNYpa2
"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1zv2DEkzw
"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK6Y5mTxd3
"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bPUYHXe5G
"So that she can judge me? No way."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp7sH0Ldoj
"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Loxc5fFpl
"Don't try to convince 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP4oBatrLu
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IWeTT9BAI
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxMyAPtyRh
like she could hit me with a hammer.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQfkvMWDeH
"Okay, let's go," said TOP.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeIeJxJGyL
I got up from the floor 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Y4oBV9rj
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv0my0C7sf
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP7eEskthC
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1XtC6JqTl
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ672WvOE7q
The cars soon left the 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzEW66FANA
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTvOtMg6RD
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO5i7Ti2VF
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgLSc6SqoW
"Can you you please stop1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKOtrXIcGp
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetRWq2Gs1W
the teddy and lose it in the car."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTviG5VllaK
"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NErqPlyRG
"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNp0z7RHC0
I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz2N4CcsI7
"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A7uyLBSIf
"I just want to get this over with."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjNJAy1UJn
We were soon packed 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjroj7x8hD
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQIMmPonfx
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1qL9ZQ9Ds
turned to look at her.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH0Odbm2wu
"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ122nf7jliD
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA71fAPmFsz
Seungri also turned to 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbWuaJ3lUu
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6X4vQwZm7
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkfZ4duioe
chest and I wished Sam was here too.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwnnddTfHv
I soon got out of the 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVMfi05ax5
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDmmsczP1Y
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KUEDzHmJm
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGT0jIrWUR
Before I could find my 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hUzmpwR2S
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8uMEQ02Yc
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG4S5xGlmZ
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMvJD8rVC0
I quickly went in the 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uN8a9MnZB
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9OkRUlbke
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxivIqB6s7q
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqipJhnH8X
I slowly approached the 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD7IXIF6Qb
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbFpU5RVnW
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfWYf13aHD
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4bTrEnf9W
hesitate to end my life right here.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFqPSlZvBf
"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ8B43Q1im
"I was practising today," I answered.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdBKl7zg41
"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1x7R0SQWc
"Thanks," I frowned at 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS3zz5hSn8
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ146eDp2SRs
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2TgeBegVn
Jehan smirked. "Certainly."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVcXnwL0Bm
I quickly reached out 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahxcAoYXrQ
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN8SmcZKv1
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodDCWSQdsl
"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPAdbfFNpM
"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLn9RH7FRh
"What now?" I complained.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekO8E84Nt5
"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYMPDHmOeJ
"What do you think? That1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQJ98TC7Ty
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKacrIKukO
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLb55Er0Yl
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCERqbU0poM
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAIzalNVyu
Jehan raised an eyebrow 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrNzyxUwWZ
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUjWT017en
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2LY1cxkEI
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDqAI1tZpI
"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygJtVmgsrv
"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeWAa2RnR2
I went back to looking 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrnwaxc1Ik
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdGEiDE8yy
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ368t8iyp6m
surprise me that he carried that thing around.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9GJ1Rf7UO
Jehan slowly laid the 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC88JFrgwcb
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtfFPpOZ4k
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfkwRNucFK
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZqeWGLNgE
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ufSII4ypS
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBNeWqaBrt
the teddy bear.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp72inQaVgR
Wait. I frowned. This 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnueSarlWu4
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTnJCWi4RU
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9jtPvqCAB
diamonds!1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMZjbGEJz2
I stared horrified at 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ot26qCvMT
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiDMcB4mQW
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsfwbTJjXE
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C58oTw6tO
I looked up at Jehan and1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurEfSmKwFJ
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynilNQLiOV
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLOGImpsVR
that, he was going to end up traumatised.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAhAOaVk0a
"Je-Jehan," I said 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygjoaXZseZ
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVEOVKE9Mq
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHh43xeqIl
there."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8L9gA69D2
Jean neither moved nor 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvEQvZxyrN
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkjowVmEl4
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMCyeBzNpe
But how could this be? 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI1ZpWpCR8
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmahaMeaHfr
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3TRpL65qI
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yDirWVlhA
"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlrfSVyZcc
"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqBiscjt4X
He banged his fists on 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGeYIi20Da
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiM4P09708
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkO2G1N9Jw
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFazku8XOsO
"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal1Ad6u0WN
"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum5FE5ycUI
"I don't know. I don't 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGqWkp8VTj
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ79XxnDrh
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl3VgE41KF
"How did the diamonds go missing?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdaDBhvIe8
"How am I supposed to 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBdqbtr5hO
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ70KcbymKQ
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6RRwiklYL
"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIDoMR32Lq
"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp34RpkyQLM
Jehan rubbed his 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tCU2arDrf
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS0HGHU7Q1
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOyNlnmzBb
"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu4V74h2Gh
"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQXuGURs3H
"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqBd3XOyJm
"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh9CyIJme2
"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy2oMCiKFb
"I don't know."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqeX2BzWun
Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk81tpoKvU
"Ummm," I looked down 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLylt3HerU
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1hSIlYc3U
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyyrSHDW7P
"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHVr1tnCFD
"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.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUqk3HCsRk
"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7arRjmeLs
"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfSrweDp98
"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd51M7Blzm
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG1MAbgUFB
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPhpY1mkXw
"I don't think so. Lee 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nLa1CN1Jk
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl9NxbaSy9
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFD5XukLy0
"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wtkIBpPhq
"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."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVog1LIScv
"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuaDWcbMme
"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJSOeuiVAX
After I said that, Jehan1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XqSnzwY04
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxepOodXyO
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIREzOG5yv
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcwJxPPp9X
look on his face.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dmn9J4m0G
"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCsdrNRN4G
"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2C4KuuLKE
"I remember one of my 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG621PruhlZ
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY735acMSa
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZHON1nase
"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAgp850zYO
"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!"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPwJVvTiXc
"Huh? I can't start 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BLqxL33Co
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFuVa85KXX
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuajFCTnOu
that the bear is missing."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7emlqtitR
"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiniosJs6mf
"What do you mean?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyTzSDa5u4
"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NECZ3Quww
"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9T1w3JqD1
"Now that, makes no 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHscsMD5ub
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN9QCmEFr2
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7KlZGv6DQ
"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe6CNPobFa
"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vcG2EsU5p
"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6WcaxlWDm
"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczwBrvJlgW
I completely forgot that1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNUQp7sLmo
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0Fgup5ZHa
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mOVonFyMW
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDin8PxMPv6
"Okay. I'll see what I can do."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw4oib1NfB
Jehan gave me a smile. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiBNFUpinc
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5kMqrXhmZ
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNSZjnqFMJ
I nodded my head and 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ofhcGWWr
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoe3mvCwl3
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50YOAhrqEJ
"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0LT09rhNK
I sat there as I buried 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2CAgbcv9O
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjJJrHLHZB
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SXm2yPnOC
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqznzxqTmIg
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGMLZrcLcs
drama that might just ruin my life?1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRjlP192Uf
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.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IE0fRFz8O
"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJgCPFBh0S
I could hear footsteps 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6u94FoHWG
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK6B0JziIt
when they saw the look on my face.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQfjA5ScCf
Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxxnvfdBYn
"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH2nbkqreh
"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgHrS07kXJ
"No," I answered. "He didn't."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJATbpPcBcL
"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnXvdHMXgI
"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbGpVYWdpZ
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."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv0gNV73DP
"And what about Lee?" 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0AacIFtJ5
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV2PZBFr2i
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4GMlraBt0
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0g6zYsqmL
to."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnFzjZlziw
"This is bad," I said, 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcPZhILwA7
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0na2bPNDNe
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV2Uz0gKr1
"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5CstaXBzn
"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mOXjY5dvs
We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNIcEIk57z
"Sam?" I wondered for a 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8PJvMkTCY
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUfEeiQmq0
she have swapped it with the other one?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gwcRkIdLe
"Okay, wait," said TOP. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyYmFlM4C6
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6szmRCfH5w
what's really going on in the first place?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3UeBX38PC
"I doubt it," I said 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI5sckFFue
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXkbFy8rPE
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfGE0fSZtH
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt00kqfTi3F
TOP and Seungri looked 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzABmLHpiA
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jKzEnwjbx
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9X6FgG42l
it away.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno095oNJDW
"I highly doubt it too,"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWzkimem5E
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDjCR0YSIp
she would have asked us about it."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcVtUQMtVY
"That's true," said 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy9g8RDt9i
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfkCAb417k
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjphiGZtwB1
"And I checked out the 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB2IPVE7eu
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtkp1zKHz4
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E4fDDAHgo
"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBnahI8y3C
"No, I highly doubt it,"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfutAs0zgBG
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbf0mb5vE8
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2vR2ZKC6J
said nothing about them entering a toy store."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82PBOjSqRO
"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1fFuAgbF8
"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFlZcP1kKc
"Collins?" Mike asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib5DJxEArN
"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CdSe30U0Q
"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78RQV3HbcT
"But who knows? Maybe he1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXF1GXAmdA
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj96bXyIwPs
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPSJDxvAeY
times."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLPjJaP3ji
"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO49Rh5G4D
"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68kXhzjs2O
"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OdncMT7Aq
Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofQaEIFM4i
"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq65Yv5flp
"He was the one who went1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI2z331L0F
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaFXhKBdL8
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpy3gGCqxR
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHN9u0gex1
elevator."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN0yI6kV9Q
"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uUBbl8Qm6
"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45Mq43v5TO
"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1MOiACaR4
"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmE9fiVni5
"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjywkq106F
"You're right," I said 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBtvkdwGC7
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ1I7jZMsi
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3ty7Mdj7G
"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ584P30JmjK
We all walked out of the1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMEKpfZMfk
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhShG8xZPG
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeeCCr854z
While I was in the car 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizA4LjvsAZ
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC69PiwutoN
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lO5YdSu1C
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzoPk5N0Le
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ5i3Fi0qQ
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYfp9UkgOM
If it isn't him, then 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1nKWKVLOx
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaxSZGohNR
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf2RgKYPz4
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTphuaMtEt
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsnwu3xEOt
What if I had the wrong 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHun9sHl4AR
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPWQ4ydvzj
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3vG3DC7R9
place without any of us noticing in the first place?1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5USUWkv46a
I hope I could be able 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBOPjLpv0m
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcgq0bEEiA
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that1023Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3hjISkpPV
happen.
