My watch said 10:31 and I hissed in frustration. I was getting really impatient and I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe8z9PhgUg
I had never been this 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYGXrWF6JY
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMqTR9m8Uw
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTCUKJeZna
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK47jWeaUw
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEtDSKSlUW
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ffIWGODpC
"Sam!"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp7T9v26F2
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2x26AEwNH
Zoey came out of the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQWCWkww0T
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCZGi5KYYm
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PSvTpGzwK
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CQFfhKOxE
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvtGx1amIK
"You've been searching for it all morning," I said as I stood up. "Can we please just go to the studio? We're already late."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaw9omr0zI
"No, let me go and check again," Zoey turned around to head back to the room and I groaned so loudly to grab her attention.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqMdJ7yUYb
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr5rYULeBY
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk9ZBC4Lcm
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8T9fqGtfQ
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BFgSr0JYU
I ignored her and said, 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi5KjdwToe
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFhJYqxjKl
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCW0ZAv5fA
"What time is it?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUin0JoYOAG
"10:35."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyelfZn7mH
"Wow, time really passes by."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDUetAtWVP
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPuyDrASc7
"Let me go get my phone."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcRvDvGKe3
Zoey rushed back to the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXrsmf8Kab
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglDreDBauG
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUA0H7CO94
that was Zoey.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIlWhZpdxA
I soon received a 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDDU0DMVzk
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpxm9CpzOO
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD657l4Ch1
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2ZkEohCcv
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTjpFdnvIS
"I'm coming."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlSjSWNGY8
I started heading 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMyt8D1vcc
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORTzKfy2KW
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32cuXhfC0b
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3q6fuJQCv
number. A number coming from another country.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiY7knYmrw
"Oh, who is this?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxws8PjPHq
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsSZDNhYVv
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa1MSZfv54
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmpy491qKo
"Come on, we're already late."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfdGfau13L
We went into the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8vKaCNccS
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPs3o95Oen
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw7QXnCvA1
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIAihpWX0g
When we got to YG, 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6ftiL59fU
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjW8VOqmcI
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05BdOUmjQG
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuukcgEeA34
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioZMlfYFYq
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXgoaLFCjP
Zoey held her earlobes 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS4tf7vNVX
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC9IAKV5wA
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40ENvJeIzF
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUMa0aMcgc
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1XuFNodLI
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuPwYFWqGP
"Remind me whenever you're deciding who sings which part of a song to let me be there," said Collins as he turned to look at me.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKYwY5VOQV
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVU1G6EabMR
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wh3t3KLZy
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNBtCRb4cL
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWCeFc0UkN
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm1cQ7N00K
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6Ine9eAFh
"Then let's do so," said1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKPOw5U1wx
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhl1rT83qn
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzoAqBWfVA
I had completely forgot 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAq7eSwVsl
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLGQpVt3nm
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNPgRcXyqA
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qRvqDAaCB
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRNbkOphCp
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRbDzV6H5g
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT7pL682ZC
In the live room, there 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cM5IlEByB
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjf4uPtZPB
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoKfH5MRnS
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxAikudIyM
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedr7M4cbk5
I looked at the others 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmCEHJCO3K
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgYRAvY7zy
producer started to play the tune for the song.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXsOmDXDzb
G-Dragon started to sing1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdCMsidjIv
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs9O2iodBe
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy7mNs0naV
to let them sing the first verse together.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEPpktHaZl
Collins, the music 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG73sLrQwqM
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kT9t2dFda
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrAos5MDDZ
Christine then sang the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsxzoCCwnb
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfjNJRgPkJ
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgavmyuRUmj
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc3bls4Dw2
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5lMSf57PC
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG51K0teQa
I smiled at Taeyang who stood beside me and I nudged him on the shoulder. "Stop it, Tae," I said. "Don't make me blush."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ100ijQwlD7
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiEuBuHG5S
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qv08yUVBK
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTxLNZwNSS
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwIeCz1sPv
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVV0zQHjF5
"You may," said Collins,1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbOWkk4Osm
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pGtOVuu9r
You have to work on the backup vocals."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJHqAoHS8v
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DJkOyh5d3
If I hadn't known 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tNceWgamm
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybPOppScGj
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SfMjmukQg
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7E2a7qLVw
hollow inside.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBqtogNsT8
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT4yKXXuNO
We continued recording 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb9HXOd6aR
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD9rVolSPF
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pcm4AESYO
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYl0mjs39c
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr2phpMmDD
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVRXC1gURt
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWli22wYLzc
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSLir1Sww3
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0vu1r8mMN
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQnTnsMErD
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6Psr3Hw4V
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTrhODbynZ
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdQXK5TQJ2
"But be back within an hour."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JtkmoIjxL
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8zWhEJsch
"Fine, an hour and a half."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJC83YBPcj
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr51XLs0TX
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9qSHD61pX
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBs6HiPgjB
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xwlj5cIsX
"That, my friend," said 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxqvPyMoR1
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTegHziP01J
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSHEieSqK1
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9cDiSdVyF
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3dpOXMTtP
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmEsBzcw0M
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwStPzW6n1
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7hZdp1FX1
"Whenever you want us to1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIggiaQTIzJ
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2qpHYV2cV
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNQdzrsVu2
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7PQWIMjrv
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPAsZMYNXQ
"Huh," I thought of all 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM67pxosQi
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhglSUrfu6v
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0EBOS5als
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZPElwHh5q
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3VquOfD5o
"Come on, Sam," said 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kAzScRQ1G
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh33pIigJJ
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6DSuup0BV
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1MA2oxmTz
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWedJ9eudS8
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMKjmjEjR9
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtImOr9gcW
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kT1zvzap2
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgjnaJrriN
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLj3ELBfX3
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE4uvzEcHs
"They aren't here," I said.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZteyfOEtB4
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecibTrLeDl
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbIEZaOeFf
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbrle3VaWP
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkGR7aruBg
I nodded my head and we 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfszjWFKRj
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uW1eHJPal
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOALE0Y3AIz
We were in the lobby and1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kp4bGb8E2
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5WBHmttDp
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC25wt40xiR
morning.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGxrfzUNlI
I first sent Zoey a text1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf5ICAJ2Cv
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfdC3QEGXO
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cQn431god
"Hey, what are you looking at?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsafvQcbyPv
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hTxGbyB9y
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEjx9Jclkp
"Okay, shall we go?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE0QXOM8hW
"Ya, sure." I put the phone back in my pocket and I wrapped my arm around his elbow and we walked out of the building.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLngS1uRnX7
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eSz7xYZLx
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtI2BALqt5
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT5de4xc9z
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE46cwMx9T
Instead of using any one1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0SmwIudDr
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFUdQ83jWx
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvDte6w4Rd
attention, especially from the customers.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXhhf8iUCC
I had to admit, the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3T9jp8LtN
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gzvVxVTsv
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOXUpG6V1w
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLLsJLdXoF
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU7CHInayQ
A smartly dressed 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmlX4qawN5
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6sGYCPPVS
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOX3kgZtsN
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcyWfA8o0W
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z7FUrGa9P
We were escorted to a 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozr173Au5e
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFSvZ2nRRu
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa8ziMdErn
TOP pulled a chair for 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnHSWgzrVM
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKyisSyBur
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcXfIj1SGi
beside her.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv45yQQ9wY
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTEnYGPSJf
"Tell me about it," said Christine.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLh46y0ykgu
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLNNt1Ek3Z
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2k7m8ySMo
"So, let's order," said Daesung.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tBRTix9GM
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG0MqGBJ8O
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4zFmhPd98
As we were having our 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHogU5uQIQl
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0xqsmJd4U
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qySsA10R5
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20tjGL0Y25
having fun wherever they were.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmsYw7quGL
While I was having my 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSQkEGXeMD
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMVuPoSUv7
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8ywpAIp1N
unknown number had sent me a message again.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCCN73VHjZ
I tapped on the message 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PbYLAVk6M
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2AAHJs2n2
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhaYA0Bizq
the next message was more surprising.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1QZYjHsIc
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l4EuRtORY
Anything about what was 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTigV7YDs3Q
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dEeTWsVLv
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nXGRF3edy
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJyqm8xNH3
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83VBs58VbA
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiFARe8Yl2
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uq3e7qAPP
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt1s7uBAsk
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsi09gmRHZ
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTihgriXCA9
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Elw0s3BE
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEiW1f9fdA
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK0IXvXYJz
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf3hkfhv4s
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtvymFmyMQ
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG7XYonxBx
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVnkqisisJ
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhu7bJD5jj
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SyEgQmgBW
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdcZgN2LBG
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgflu9nrpyC
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuBxx8stPf
"Can we please stop 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58kbvghTut
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qUMVOOXS6
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXWIt6udyT
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfVzlTbfBu
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo7FTcBp3Y
"No, let me," said 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUVuemouSY
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLMeWxukZ6
allow her to say what she wanted to say.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHn6KOIudn
I shook my head at Christine and she leaned back on her seat with a groan. Daniel smiled when I nodded my head to let him go on.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2hkNbXGrQ
"Because, Collins gave 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0hZ5X0yp5
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIRRG5U8LD
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93Tm0c3uLH
Never."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QsWv0Gv12
There was silence on the1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26uSWk4sd4
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbXD6aSeIS
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4jQgtlozS
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k9VrZWuzE
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkusm0WECnt
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycSVgLbQS2
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK4tzysgRV
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrrL9RPhVm
"It's serious to 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEVgpO5wvq
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQluwyPXl2G
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5QARaYHu5
babies."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOvS30tuez
That was odd coming out 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD2fzzPQ2K
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jyjruvJ5x
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXqbhAseEd
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix1NgwKmmG
laps.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYUU9UBm8d
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFRzvtoxLz
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhTagYsO8z
I really did. Something 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h5QdDnURh
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk7T0p7NAb
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDG7lmg855
"Excuse me, I'll need to use the rest room," I said as I drew back my chair, stood up and headed straight for the ladies' room.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj8oijp0pZ
I quickly closed the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrZgaU4RRR
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhhJYWZYvn
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszP5WLHCRi
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeXfd0pk2q
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqshJxUt3js
I shook my head and I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjS5435QF1
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNxqmBdM8L
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX21RBE4Ctl
supposed to care. But I did.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqgGa8ApKG
I looked at myself and I1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGwLxMbwEq
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezo2l2SpVM
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NQVn77Pq7
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2UTODwWkW
things and focus on what's really important.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Y73sCrYE
I quickly took a deep breath to try and pull myself together. I rinsed my hands, left the room and went back to our table.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNALCvcBkiu
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z0c70hNRN
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLq3J9ApwZ
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe0FXLhJvh
I gulped. What had these1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vmewme1d0
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByGWcygaEn
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJEFbDV9mO
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnnh3Yh4J9
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmOd0ATnRy
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCSGnlMl1p
"And I have been a good girl on my part," said Christine making an invisible drawing of a halo above her head with her finger.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoJK9H7mpS
While Christine was one 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUCDlYUgtx
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE9O3SRWzo
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTmp2lO54J
worse.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR8nRY4eEQ
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiBaNNacQ3
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QSy5y1kTK
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY1EmsJqsF
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq0H3lyFhp
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8kMxXqtIf
I blushed. "Mike!"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjsEhFu6u8
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gMvBvBpkV
"I've tried kissing 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡso3npjRqg8
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo77ed1dOd
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPaxPflhjw
"Uhh, if I were you, I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHuGPIbzkq
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GFJTEB6y0
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiaHsK3TPJ
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxgEII6gWD
regretting it."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX7hBm1KDW
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdOtXf4JB0
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86J85LZKyv
"Fine, I'll listen to 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoDKjrf7m3
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9w6qxvisi
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0aRgcCO3C
blushed.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd7NvP83GR
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3ekGGGRp8
He was right. We only had a few minutes to get to YG. And Collins was one person who's strict when it comes to time.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAjJvCAQ8I
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPT8dmIPAd
We got to YG just in 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy4f0EY1WR
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK7UdqHmmq
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeVfOWvHyT
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAlMRci80l
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16i4lTkDcc
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBRV354rbt
I couldn't help but feel1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HSx94hwbT
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWQHYRnWwE
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAat5FbiKA
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRjEF0Slbb
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhJg31Gz9C
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71TfrwutI1
I felt something inside 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSnbb2EqlX
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLHgHYmIsF
couldn't believe what I was hearing.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhcbLHSdGg
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlEXnXQQk9
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tyw1Lm4OO
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRgBYOEWHk
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3YhMKghNF
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqogvsLTmaL
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObej1UJrkG
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgdHU1Fon0
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyxVzstaqm
"Then?" TOP asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr8uiPImg7
"I don't know, I went over to get some ice cream for the both of us, and the next thing I know she was gone."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs60qVd9HN6
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmQmFijkTG
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyl8IKY4FyM
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWX42yXQUX
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1v7HQ3G5v
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfgF6lx7bf
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHXjm1n4vL
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQSKBudhxv
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUsIx314Hz
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcNUVFAszb
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Klz0R8NET
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp2EugN7K9
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4skwWpJWg
I couldn't help but 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85ju8S1dTl
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLxNYTheGE
not telling us what was really going on?1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmrkAHH7nH
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH1elijpfF
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT2CXW6kxT
"We've to look for her," said TOP.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ8kT5x4V5
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIENl2s0X4
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX7c0n4Zj9
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGlV3UexjX
"Did someone say my name?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBtpc0ijh6
I cringed. He was one 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFmsi1rpWK
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlbyeN0U1w
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ky2NU3uvC
the music producer.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNHWoUuQJO
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKMWuO9jOw
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBfzm1B0nj
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPDuYl9yvG
"Looks like you aren't 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvAEKB09xh
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf02tmW16q
away from us and heading towards the console.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjNlYGQ02K
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRja6vK0ES
I looked at the others 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUATzkM7n2
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuaaoYhYHS
something or else we would be toast.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a5wgUmRAa
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdno8bbnuTZ
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mY6HZaRt1
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYatNEHEAv
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoVykQodE0
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWvq36hqUh
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnw5Yr2Zbj
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2naxXR5ppi
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGQeYzwe1V
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAcPMYiQOu
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsBqq3jk3f
Please say yes. I was praying in my heart that Collins would agree. This time I wasn't relying on my eye to do anything.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH8p8jPETV
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVfE2RwHW6
Mike and Daniel almost 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRa4vqZEsk
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZr4fklbpq
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A2wEHRCjV
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ltTGxtp4Y
"That's fine," said Taeyang.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0fxTfq1ZC
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ327DOJZHOH
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N1BELiFfm
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgqceOXCQo
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS45lPjevXv
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShfT5ownTk
Christine was doing the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHt01vCLuS
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpkl91CdTP
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlDERT6T7f
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V2et4n8XR
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLWf39msNH
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjpd68I1H7
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXkMh0c9mj
I wanted to ask where, 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGX8Z06DF4
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjdTz5PAxT
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgZvFASSqK
music producer soon left.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIHcDEL2F3
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCotVykaao1
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQjdEW59Ui
"Ya, we should," I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYjNNCU8gP
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBl0Jtf9n1
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFfdZpQ9St
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyyLh9bOQz
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudZMCriuLH
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAvoIvvd9P
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGGSTTiCWH
As soon as we left the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSs1JgkXTC
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYym5DQECVk
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnYsMOYiuK
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzml2ZCgsED
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Enj1gs63b
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YdaOPmsvj
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYEBnf2vph
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfklI7a59U0
G-Dragon drove away and 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafTsTYV6Ax
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1je2seoVeT
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEb3AhvGpR
"Did you two have some sort of argument?" I asked when we both got out of the car and I went round it to face him.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zvYl1EAQw
"What?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewXwwtn7oP
"Did you two argue?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDOVLAhWx7
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIZrbUzXSV
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNicWMli77
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd79A9sCZtl
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0srLXJEVO
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbn1NRaRab
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTRzV8ojjO
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrmYGKIdcZ
With quick strides, I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZhdTeU6UO
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDmAlO4ric
could look at him directly in his face.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8TTqItuaf
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegF2anJPQ4
"I want you to tell me the truth."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8eJzO4azP
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT77qzVETd
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmZfAOj150
G-Dragon chuckled and 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7CDaB6qpd
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrpW4QcWBO
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuQXxws9yB
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpXgE52ePD
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK4ltOqR7g
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlX3g77yYt
"And how do you know?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOtTX5j77c
"I'm her best friend. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVjVcnMFSv
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qco7cvMLe
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcxPhsVNHD
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO8kFvkYXz
"Zoey can't end her 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYdjiUlA1Q
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxy0x7IORk
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC04IXJvwi
you did something."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx66t1MTOEz
"Me?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ62RQFzvrF
"Da! Yes, you!"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVnWNHWkB0
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOyF91eOFT
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0xBrtA9Uy
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg8Du2UmC0
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNtvGJnxpB
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3SLQhwDQ3
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYJZRyrijZ
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG82YaPOrU
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiY1BaMkYw
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjNa8R25SO
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYg2aWimpT
"Ya. Sure."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0RE0ZQDJr
"Now, will you please 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gVJODWfod
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfZdPEN9aH
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VP9eZBxor
interview."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJIOHAs0Bx
I didn't say anything, 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRT7PeuiLp
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuacgVJmH24
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIsby1UaRM
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRySMQrJaiK
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphtxWAx0a5
but nothing.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v5c0tM3SV
We were already half way into the park and still no sign of Zoey. We were by the lake and I sat down on the grass by the banks.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdgXjXWC2u
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ4fADa2pY
"I'm not," I said as I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoXnRiyxvQ
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn8hgKPWMs
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9IlRLT4b7
G-Dragon sat down beside1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel21y1ATMf
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw3YmdFORm
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf2Qo5cs1H
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgb7W8mlFxQ
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoR1ga0XRV
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVZEbMNXMX
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzVSFGKkOx
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPIr5qRswY
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbldBb4KRVw
"You love nature, don't you?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvwLHOi1Eu
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk6jegi5b9
At that moment, I was so1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3rNPguVTi
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLX6xm7bLD
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQfno3lCpO
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZhVJrlwBx
even the noise around me seemed non existent.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ9uaH7Cks
Then I felt something 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZKhAJgUED
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOBodyZ47P
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TzNNTVMjI
was staring at me.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0SuYzJFqO
"What?" I asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwF8gHTx5X
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpdgdirIMS
I blushed all of the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aRl0S91Qf
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VEDhs619f
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCbEOAXLU3
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBLD7WYCdl
I would have said yes to1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG2xBqG1hT
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtuYLR2Em2
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5jnth72X0
were never meant to be.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhta0jxvN8
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkhYw8q6j9
"Why?" He asked softly.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hgy9mJh1P
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItdNoBw5GA
"What do you mean?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONn4TQkYOX
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXG0vTzJpw
"So?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaVbVRWash
"I want you to stay far away from me as possible. The further we are apart, the better it is for the both of us."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWeI0pBqEC
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinWkeeSHUx
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEE7G0pQYF
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWgPAl1zfC
"I know."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlBoMXOGaF
"Then why are you doing this?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcOgLZXi7p
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Buf4nU6MN
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH7x1DA7w6
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OnJaFpble
"You should find another1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFW6d1lV8b
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h9p3y6TTb
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE0mF1IhHS
will never forgive myself."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70ge4v0BtV
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelWxE56FTB
I wanted to smile but I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7OMBxfoWB
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRGFocGCLJ
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmaMKCSnk2
like we had beef with each other.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBwJEoMoSc
Just as I was about to 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSWK50vdQi
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanKSvComDU
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjZ40feMr6
from his pocket and answered it.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGqZnT7qlr
"Hello? Christine?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahA00mIYPF
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt7ZtnLtCX
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyw1qexOhN
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mfLDDZkhl
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdPXz7zbrY
"Where is she?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz8NGKq3g0
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9j72OoIEy
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73hYRXwGXQ
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmXOunxXWd
"Who is she with?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZtcxwZZFN
"We're about to find out. Let's go."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitZf16cSwR
G-Dragon got up from the1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjynO44PMo4
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYsG9JDisi
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBixDsISHV
When we got in his car, 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lnjbp5M2w
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUy93RQyTm
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo5IC7glIX
looked across towards the café.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4H7NOchYA
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviMGjaUenM
Through the huge window,1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbfYqVQR31
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV7TGtVRVH
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFR59RmhDxR
day in the afternoon.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYQPnGGv5e
I searched for Zoey, but1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dC9xdNbLX
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXyUE1qZDC
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc1O2IxlSS
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoZtWYPnUA
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuQy4FrISA
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmxUTl9ABJ
"Who is it?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U2Tmwa4N9
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ABt1kfXuQ
"Seriously?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdutN9pObP
"You think I'm kidding?" I turned to look at him. "Or are you now jealous that Zoey is hanging out with someone who isn't you?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhhxU25tek
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99wuSmznRF
I rolled my eyes and 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qA4vYXGNB
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco21BHGSyH
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAyBjCRIEJ
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv3oEiYRhk
She was sipping her cup 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV9PwJyw0i
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsZl3htsoI
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nc4VgxNDD
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbuG3rHk8L
"Ya."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8Mya6LlUb
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqRDBGuXbo
Zoey's smile made me 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0EPFW5RiZ
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2rjJ5ZuNv
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iCmUAmt69
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gsPIWwCgY
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFScviVxHyL
I felt a threat coming 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStmZaBGJdH
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2DQfL3xCi
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWk5G1xEiH
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW0sDBrVuu
going on in there.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRoyGNQnV2
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJN8FtOyQl
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURyTcpQ4uo
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSesuJQPHJ3
Just as G-Dragon came 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfb3ubiIl9
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwd66v6DIF
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1ll5fCn6p
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioBcJe0thn
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFWZoOS0dB
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0JqLVPiSo
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RMyK0LCJI
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa23mp1To2
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBb9icpZhM
I didn't answer him as I1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0ZhU6eesV
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkeMKS46YC
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGkATc9YqG
managed to reach the café without getting hit.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwQYplsaM4
When I got to the café, a1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuDD4BQhEV
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1muXAChCb
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRDJeYRtyJ
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KId6wEfpn
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwgveN49iw
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z1vPDIHZS
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8cgmOcs1S
"Don't you dare try to 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxKmTxBdLm
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71j9KlSZiA
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2AlhMGXTk
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaJ4Y336Dd
"Christine told you where I was?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHFwoekWgX
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5i048F9HO
I heard the bell of the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnznrQ0NEn
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypqQcYKOuL
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQT8jEvN7P
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVczrqPsxE8
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJXPhmMNYo
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb5sTstZZM
"Stop taking all this 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePFbeyjacw
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxMonyofqW
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIsL7MwFxC
The smile on Zoey's face1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7Ww8POCdb
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TS8VDyJPD
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNC1Ybaw8m
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpazJtg0jNq
ourselves.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AQ6n0XlLu
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlejr1SbLLz
"You're right," I said 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpw9r1Egmz
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgZbJXbJKr
attracting so much attention sometimes.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIz29M8cvV
The others had started 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN3IWFbBzD
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPSzkuRLbq
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcchJ8JZh8
about who he was.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfGpqkNW5H
After we left the café, 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv4kxgJzWO
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZcz3FDqmb
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBlveJwUMR
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8m1JQdQ9e
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMqh9HzHCs
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTAowuB8dw
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT61DJYac4x
Zoey and I went in 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGzeNYpNd4
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwtyYTMvft
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdBH4LPDlL
We were all back in the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xOn0EFmIL
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWEwWL7E46
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhFbqOf30Z
We gathered ourselves in1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2cwT7PB2C
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllx6GvbZkM
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQBKdgoGrD
hands on my hips.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhHWAYnShX
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLZXaQlCKl
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS6nifpqZ9
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXrxhTTr2E
"Fine, I tell you," said1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9qkaTeVAy
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Emx9evd0y
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4ZDNOgZOh
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcPb0sRqje
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfZaHsWCP5
"No, I don't mind," said1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFItKBF4Nn
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKM3UJTIgk
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7h6pnLeTH
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1oKt3EeTs
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0euO17fvM
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe50O7oMLJ
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ05S1mrPIZ
"As much as that sounds 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKFeNRXCe5
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2XJzlsZTK
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mWF6sHlGz
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI8Sm4d4Am
I started to tap my foot1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3ICoOWKpw
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYG1GYRJUU
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqmlr0Olg8
truth.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8i0x1KQH5
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm33O3OrdTl
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFwlBoEOul
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaautPjgCt
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2uDivwIvF
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzxpWURDe0
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW7REQRUXJ
"Okay, okay, eish," said1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSwpKDOUyj
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUroAPuWOZo
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDk19MJvcv
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwSJxLYpBT
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2RHZSN2rJ
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntHqQxrUOf
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVySCIiCKc
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMWbg9b7F3
Zoey was quiet and I still felt that she wasn't telling us the whole truth. I decided to play along and not say a word.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkyKVgUBH7
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA0h8QB0N3
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbWPxaUQKN
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEkg70zrrB
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYAhGOIacz
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYWuySfMr7
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq1lmRfyIc
"Are you sure?" Daniel 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8qFkzLUnk
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsF3cXSkOm
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdKUtLB0ME
haters or even us."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0VB9Yc1T4
Daniel was right. Zoey 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC5pgXsTKx
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9qCgVpnWj
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3xoVON4Gy
telling the truth.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFeYB9DLf1
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4N4M9FWnH
"A very nice guy that 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp1fFfwqZ0
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGLZa6RaJY
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUpxTQ8LvW
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVhDVqsUTQ
I didn't want to 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc8o6VlxDm
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr8FxzVqBN
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BUeHreQKx
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfQYVdFp7f
"And not dead," said 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwDtGFfytw
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVOlkQ3oM3
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ecrr6s3XT
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8sBiY3eQW
"And you better get 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PwFGWeFKx
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLch22JvBZQ
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3egXSQsSis
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjjCDDKCwj
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDAY6to26S
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnPOvBx3Th
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR2ygrXqkN
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9pWCHDBpz
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3bs7S4UnI
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinijqxU0ds
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9I5vpprmX
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmHGsMl3J2
One by one the BigBang 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XFFN8RFYs
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpVSkK2Uok
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2ot56qZtO
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YJoVwEbxn
When I went in my room, I1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gkif59058
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVnDPq5D9e
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2JC0MCC13
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtvz6pQzGE
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9eqkx5R6e
"About what?" I turned to look at her.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD29ocQzOpN
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHywUSPXESf
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1E4oqFAkU
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNWTwtGwjF
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3jdVxhHBq
"Did you see the man's face?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV0Fk4ozuM
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5UKS7wvnJ
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTet1syKCJ
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVsBeYrXCQ
"I bet he is good 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcD3YeVMtU
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSXLxKq1De
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9DlXfsloy
told her to?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmS3DKCZBe
"Well, I believe her on that part. I'm just wondering how he managed to convince her to come with him. Maybe he threatened her?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C9dY9cwzY
Christine's jaw dropped. "Don't say that. I know there is no any other logical explanation, but I think that's way too far."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0522NLiFM
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteMI4xx8TR
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWngFYPlCg7
"That we have to find out."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgadKNgylmu
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gueUGNxt8
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGwEBHkQve
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVoKw5rIO6
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzIT4iWL1M
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng7zI2Tp3O
Oh my. Had he told her 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mdQT6WZko
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbr2dZ1Bbt
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9BY4yz8Er
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPq89ZYl3O
"What did you talk about?" I asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS1qOU8rZG
"He was just pissed that1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QV25aFBXP
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57bk1BAHUF
that might have upset me or something."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuvsfUXZIU
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu9T4CYSWM
"But he didn't."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpkgQ8owCf
"I see why Sam asked," 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs1CVlfdu4
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9525jvxiMT
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGRrYu0Zon
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfMNtceaV7
And I hope it will never1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSzFeu7GGn
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ94Y3VlOM
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYoTlHveOg
was yet to come at any moment.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFpAEhFhsu
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLMTATtD0e
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5PbTsNdWv
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiOybbm8HH
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwOVFbPH8B
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu0UKyabXz
Christine, Zoey and I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0aHBhp7UC
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyiS4Z02XM
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YCbtRtusa
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5esFFgaov
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QEX58gPKN
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL6iAPYqLm
"Yes, he is," said Lee 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaymyy4q7lR
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlESvrjlh2
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21c1gOYsVm
well."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcdtbiDbVr
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXviMUYHyXD
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX5dghLZue
"As I was saying," said Lee. "We were in the lobby when we received a package from the receptionist. Said it was for you guys."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXK4yG0dLG
"Us?" I asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08LlnUWHRQ
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDzLUq1uB5
Christine and I rushed 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92H0HdR18l
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UPSvFupgV
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqmmpoj397
hand.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNqFE9JKkX
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvioytn8grP
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOLfZjNHez
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnkc4fAq4E
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI13Ffu4btt
The package was wrapped in a brown wrapper and on top of it was a white envelope. It was directed to us just as Lee said.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr54OvZXEG5
I took the letter and 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEuk4H95gW
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnYF2lpP42
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WfPxWt865
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfrhk29BS7
"That's it?" Mike asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxryeTVBhG
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9t2br3N9F
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPHt01DPeB
"All that the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepdVZJxXNy
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kcN8UjXPd
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKEbaPJXF8
My eyes went wide and my1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63OQ0dKLm3
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTSmaVdR2Y
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzizXzsr7wl
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZjBI1QKwy
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucOx6kgKYy
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAXWpilWa1
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8TU3dtseV
We did know him all right. The man who had been with Zoey. But who really was this guy? And this package? What could be in it?1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YG7NaQ5uB
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdj0PRCBCZ
Christine threw Daniel 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj4a3zssfN
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDntyEQ1gml
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTcEBq02eR
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITfing1Rj7
person you barely even knew.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hdaNamMB1
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY37KUxWjC
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAATovxLMC
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E1OX4eRLE
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqKQeZ9Cc4
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiDgQyz21u
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrMNIIvmFU
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln9nucHa5g
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZvw8Jny3a
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOHAzY6Etc
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH8GeyuDpt
"Okay, but take your 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUyvDP5WVX
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo11hwItYVN
last prayers before I leave this earth."1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTFRINTEjk
I rolled my eyes but I 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW35PkibJ8c
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtlScebHga
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUZb7NR40L
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEBxccIzXJ
The other three couldn't1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19S6OAs4Ia
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UT4HSMJ8p
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg8X5NezbM
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qgOlok9FK
nothing happened.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CWvmP5Lxv
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh6p4bl1bx
"What is it?" Christine asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpPK5M8ytb
I looked up at the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gOEDvRSKO
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYjy8UR6EI
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlNiPo31Hh
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUasuPImlH
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bsvSLWPSD
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N1l4BJKUh
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTEZ4sEyw9
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK0R6Gu8pT
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMDsDS60Tn
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaThhyX1HH
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJunKPQPuc
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXjdVd05Te
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqXBrbDq4Z
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPfCJH4C3C
It was then that Zoey 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrm90YBl3s
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbEoCV0HBd
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UL6zmK1Yd
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVECPEC4Gs
stranger who she was with today that sent it.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8eSKncvwV
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCXUgsRhn3
"Zoey will tell you all about it," I said. "I believe this is yours." I gave the teddy bear to Zoey who held it in her hand.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywN61e92ne
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOkRQJOP01
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7cSD1a26k
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmcNsaw9Xj
This time, they laughed 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsb2iziqDI
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXH4J8UoSd
had feared for our lives and it was for no good reason. I saw the 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡro4HJgV4Dc
reason to laugh along as well. Who knows what the future might hold? You1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqM65nS5yR
could die at any given day. We were just glad to be alive and laughing.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQIH7QaORB
"Stop it, guys," said Zoey with a frown. "This isn't funny." Lee just shook her head in disbelief.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAnXq3taqV
"You brought this on yourself, not us," said Mike.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryQiFYhpkU
"What's with all the laughing?" Collins asked as he came into the lounge.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyO4GcedV4
Zoey held up the bear 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsFWG9zjev
for Collins to see. It was such a funny site given that Zoey looked like1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8hUJw3Vxo
she was about to cry and she held the bear's little arm in between her 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBCz7M0vMi
fingers that it was dangling in midair. That sent us into another wave 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8b2iKs795
of laughter. This time, Mike and Christine were on the floor and Daniel 1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c6LT0dYhR
fell right beside me on the couch. I laughed so hard my stomach ached.1009Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWOOpzZCSW
And surprisingly, Collins laughed too.
