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.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDLCJ9gDzg
I had never been this 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yONdJN2dT
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92KDMHTas8
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9LaGPJtOE
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvKcPa2Z5Q
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSYiVqumtw
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdEoqgFzfn
"Sam!"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3WENNMg73
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAE3lW0Lat
Zoey came out of the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwbBGG2Pv8
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymwmRhPOEW
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKulaH6VLj
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqqIm1l9mR
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmwLOMBfB9
"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."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqxc9kVAzc
"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.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gwZUjcVbj
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DPZxSFHuK
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCAdRWO2Y2
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqevd7nns3
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv0hGDYTxV
I ignored her and said, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXugfeUBHN
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLgrF8U7TB
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkcADBbvQC
"What time is it?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r8G4VbIR5
"10:35."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RUHZwCMOS
"Wow, time really passes by."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9ALYvGLco
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqToac4aqB
"Let me go get my phone."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnp2QEEaZO
Zoey rushed back to the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRcwfAB4wj
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiunSuieRZ
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9M7JI2BE6
that was Zoey.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NzS3yrtO3
I soon received a 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLDqOo8HsA
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ns0s3hXth
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbtrdlpM4i
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGfc96qsTh
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c0UjO7wKt
"I'm coming."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KmsY25eQU
I started heading 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ufKsiN9dT
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3RXUFiTyR
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o9puv0get
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZB5ZiF0G6
number. A number coming from another country.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4G20lRtB5
"Oh, who is this?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6Og1M66nM
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSIL7DZzgM
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8X6tGsCwg
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqaTmziZXj
"Come on, we're already late."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWgvCgICPY
We went into the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAODXEj1w5
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gdv9EAnoS
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyHw1WQiJ2
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfLXwGdixM
When we got to YG, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8a7UPjVln
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzVlWAl52w
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObCE7lFMpL
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTA1F7VWpY
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbZ2hzYcxW
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIY4rfSV2O
Zoey held her earlobes 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhaTKWafeS
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLzv5k69O1
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa2LnEyeex
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIF4k7u6c9
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lSQ21vbe2
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDa04M9o6S
"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.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvXXtvzQzx
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQVV0NVaRJ
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9IjC2CaSJ
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXnREQlgpL
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu61kpOhXgX
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmP31uP5Fx
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehPcliy4eB
"Then let's do so," said958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX1QNFPigG
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNwW9xd4TN
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xXqr2cT2j
I had completely forgot 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTkYh4mu0i
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihUEQN1Vl0
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkSNVPPfxA
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvzeuwTdh1
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd8kWFHjlo
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXgYh4Ro2x
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEFCS7gJ2P
In the live room, there 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ3vs8V0Dz
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8zVdhmxh9
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5gwQCVJmc
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdvDwRQzVv
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHrBYMVHMm
I looked at the others 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlKy1DkoDx
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTNWmIzCoN
producer started to play the tune for the song.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKLUgvQHgX
G-Dragon started to sing958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5SXrt2vD6
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vGQ9f2k1g
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8e1GFixKd
to let them sing the first verse together.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT3Z7VyHSY
Collins, the music 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qvqSSqNUT
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQwllF5t57
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCG5NDlkLk
Christine then sang the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWJUi0b7cw
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVA0C1647F
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhe9lurMcL
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RQu61Mja1
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfZ03naW4Y
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jt5CtOaCJ
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."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaeEVPxJcJ
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOvsa4bhsH
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx5WRWgSUH
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1TC4PFrci
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QczAXGq3Q
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNN8LFMbTe
"You may," said Collins,958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVqG3SuoFJ
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnVzZonNeq
You have to work on the backup vocals."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5agLY3tcNZ
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEczMOSQ9z3
If I hadn't known 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09U3fYbAlg
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNUZd6oSpJ
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhsA1o9kYM
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvveh9WWNO
hollow inside.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fa4q5aCzL
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03niJUPDH3
We continued recording 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKUJLJFxaI
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuWVr5OqYc
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspTXYD290R
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rM3Js1DQv
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEtLHuKz4j
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RnEnAOSiX
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSFKqbBhMU
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlbWYO2xj1
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgJ5lVIcys
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpiWBZ1Kbd
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6tzg0qP5y
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1PkNcvU5y
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6qGQMq15L
"But be back within an hour."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQfR38lqw7
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94kZFNd9KD
"Fine, an hour and a half."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOtBiDuICK
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DKAXaU7aX
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBhZpJHJsT
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wsZ8F8hTx
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJycMMniiV4
"That, my friend," said 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSuf2UOHZa
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T1uPSnXP5
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSn05PNV6t
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJCfrFvrzr
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HDFDdqSGO
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51fxnYfEtu
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWm2WH3ksl
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCGDwOyjkw
"Whenever you want us to958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77MOybQjbQ
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM237uXCdp
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13CqNCi3Fa
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1mZxuqL4W
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15MYTH00Gm
"Huh," I thought of all 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbS6kVPoOW
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRWdfSxbXJ
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A7nLmk5cU
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowvpjKhL9W
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZQwLIjFr2
"Come on, Sam," said 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe53q62hYPE
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkp5FWqz0l
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLGK4LmYJ6
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprYiqO2wHI
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NcBD9jfHw
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCErOAdXhQ
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg1JON5xAB
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnai5ZCect6
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo33iyTPHH
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpsYSEpYCp
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyRCCxlScK
"They aren't here," I said.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQVnMyKfJa
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rOP9QYefv
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlp42RQI4l
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70DI5rnotG
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTaDsRxRyo
I nodded my head and we 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q18AEF7ox
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMns9SOFk4k
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4MMZF0oXe
We were in the lobby and958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkZnrWCsjg
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQDASNctAE
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR63nCSUNe
morning.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfbqDR5gEW
I first sent Zoey a text958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRp8xewjbw
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX9Gr5wU1x
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKLvV7qVKQ
"Hey, what are you looking at?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOwq0psdN1
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qyym9QHLU
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb83N5ZatB
"Okay, shall we go?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r03GkuTj1
"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.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fiZ7aqJRR
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyoop32xky
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKVhXlIrru
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC7c5E6IOv
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc2L3Yps0M
Instead of using any one958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWI9ZdYGZC
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ866RaCMieg
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMVDACEf3T
attention, especially from the customers.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YAR0DRd11
I had to admit, the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxpvlVmUUa
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EtNo1pYAL
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfJbyJh1ya
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIllI2ZQz1
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j6JckTw27
A smartly dressed 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeth4XoK8BR
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMujV2pezE
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghWlscQjS1
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFfzdcgaUy
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVcCxKgV1l
We were escorted to a 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbBuwixEtJ
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpERARJFQOt
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAe98Nu5tD
TOP pulled a chair for 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPsLz9Ddwh
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL2O4ZzneX
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMpqyPoEUB
beside her.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFQvUuM8lB
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrFXvbF5PS
"Tell me about it," said Christine.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0omB0F5ye
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQidgXb8eJ
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MqcKXOAhM
"So, let's order," said Daesung.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmFUmZEV4T
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyS08eroKL
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH0fgNSjX1
As we were having our 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpAcVHNmbX
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRV0CyZXsr
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Qy04I0Lx
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHOiuT8fBX
having fun wherever they were.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yJyLSAkdM
While I was having my 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4vmKdfcDB
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyepxFt9ADr
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIaAQqRZDN
unknown number had sent me a message again.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4laC7MdAOD
I tapped on the message 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBlIgrjtYJ
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok3CkTanzY
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLHUShEK5X
the next message was more surprising.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GROhBFQGt
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsatMLLSco
Anything about what was 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcg9AGH4bV
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ1xdBw4Zi
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfjNAV2wX9
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndWDyjlg2H
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggvqW038On
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkA7J1PApu
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uux57c7Ob
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5ftIGKJiw
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoK8L9DRO8
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbus0ud1Uy
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW07fSzRmo4
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwmU7zXh6n
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfjHraAa79
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTr5QcK53W
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJpCAJjv0L
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkakCi7uyF
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkZ5JUrL7b
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYf8R7etRj
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvecCESyxaq
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj6CqwuuWs
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeKAVcqWXP
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnwm8wq5KJ
"Can we please stop 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU5MqIHHeT
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj9T76rAEy
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSsee4s2po
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt8fBrZuXK
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wNmIMMd71
"No, let me," said 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NH4zgdK1m
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbt507BIR88
allow her to say what she wanted to say.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIffTrzXiA
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.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5Gs0ZwKlq
"Because, Collins gave 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9WFtf0Xng
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmmH0rmyex
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO31rY3IypE
Never."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhN2VP0W57
There was silence on the958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyVF8HNySq
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH9QL8CQad
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7rj8AOsev
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryg4IHrN7j
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ088lwn82Qo
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUy41s2FcF
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc3OS7RwGn
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yQqYxoubs
"It's serious to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOudnexFHJ5
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDuVaN1KQg
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8QvwALje9
babies."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ICsRHvFur
That was odd coming out 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh0iNrp2x4
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58vkyHYGsl
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgtNaIgfGk
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCEinYGBKv
laps.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xK71Cy63A
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDT0LqPspg
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hNXBhhHNM
I really did. Something 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtWlDmKNXs
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VtkXtVmmg
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtRwITkHaJ
"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.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEM76bPXSv
I quickly closed the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R187Kog6A
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vFItq4jPj
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVfkGOnWOu
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡormTYZ1lGX
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5roWALDDi
I shook my head and I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iY6fG9jQU
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUADgr3qhOR
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6nw2RrKk4
supposed to care. But I did.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl67Lthl36x
I looked at myself and I958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntdNfRiKq9
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgmqQHfZqE
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKuabYGtUp
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G6MhAb90n
things and focus on what's really important.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmod0zdiDGd
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.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWOioPrqWS
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RNqC4llVx
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUrsmQEzB9
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy23CQA39i
I gulped. What had these958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b6Tk0JQfX
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHyDil3g35
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXTG52iowE
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItSpHj0WhV
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXOxf2a7TC
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxioSAqke4I
"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.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKQ8P5yuU2
While Christine was one 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoQcHhiIaw
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nl18OknKh
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4IRp2CNRr
worse.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4mF0wWMYr
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5fBAOjhpa
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHIoEZ6zRJ
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VfRxP7Ejh
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u9IGzYkx8
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPhmFyzfVU
I blushed. "Mike!"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJNdtlIju0
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRgZpGW2se
"I've tried kissing 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj3IU4kiNx
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pqp6RxgNL
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkMfITf5bz
"Uhh, if I were you, I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpylDDiV0u
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3b03T5lio
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivSl1sEj5Z
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1r2SU4II3
regretting it."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbzvXhwuNN
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0l8V46YV7
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTBoLHqHCw
"Fine, I'll listen to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VutJvx6mj
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaKEte4EbU
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvJD0yIfHi
blushed.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oyjcve3F3
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0lMJktQlZ
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.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxvXdRH1gF
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1n9lxvOXS
We got to YG just in 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMEbA9gTpY
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2fOoP8I1G
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwSMwNMfEk
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhwP7F4sYJ
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPJtLh0OQE
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzET5ae9Y0C
I couldn't help but feel958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqRN2Ty4ma
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj81Ll8BFzv
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEjt53U4v2
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBHqwzF1BW
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dtrtbLajn
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUGq7xDNDK
I felt something inside 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOQuv9vxXV
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOjJmXA88U
couldn't believe what I was hearing.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhzb5gBE48
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs7IPXalkK
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCVypkCvQR
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg2GXgpqsq
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaR50LlMvE
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwURkFE7a2C
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyU0o2Yk0b
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9cyZ0etHc
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWkbqKPJPR
"Then?" TOP asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZe9r9e0SS
"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."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQnSk2H7FK
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLWxcUMHXO
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFmLj91wu0
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKednbEQlg
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKBu9CQPvZ
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x5cNKjuUY
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkcfJe0qdv
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxspFarrZE
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71noFUZLeW
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkxVUo975q
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNLT4hMsvo
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamKSr9rhqp
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05UvcJU9Lf
I couldn't help but 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVlUnxaprV
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU25zUv8dy3
not telling us what was really going on?958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7aApmLYr5
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2ERF1YlpP
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonknWeTxl2
"We've to look for her," said TOP.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhDUmvxXqL
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd92bbMLOix
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0Sz0XviqR
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmkRRZAwuQ
"Did someone say my name?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg0ECEvTES
I cringed. He was one 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypZ1IJlmH1
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4oaD8iH9e
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaOZX4w3gJ
the music producer.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5YEf7h80w
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPScOLL4SK
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrkKcNPFTE
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTX3pGZTOF
"Looks like you aren't 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK901ZyLm0x
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4z03AmZLh
away from us and heading towards the console.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWLyvK93lA
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw0R5JO3Wp
I looked at the others 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqYQ8ABuqd
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0xOUkNOfI
something or else we would be toast.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8d4pqEOAW
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqN9aeziqm
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLKuG67xMG
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPjVrQhDGq
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEGl8J0V26
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY51chaXUud
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf4gPJEsTg
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TGPAK107s
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gx8pH7UoO
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zWwVqd3nc
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrecZ4SokDS
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.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpUV90GjH1
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWFZZ9ImWg
Mike and Daniel almost 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab8GMCxyCn
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZhKRrXLo3
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOasUrM3VgU
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqZkemaCi0
"That's fine," said Taeyang.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQLuPD9Egh
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKbeR1M1h6
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla8nZUyMQx
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDBsW0m1zW
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf9aIx64O6
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp7sPpqckI
Christine was doing the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEhMC6FXrL
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXt3uBWqZ5
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPlOvjnMD4
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Q8LLyrLS
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYJKgtAlDl
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzmKwx3fMt
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXZR8jXDaX
I wanted to ask where, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf5OLrHcz8
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFsGPdXE78
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5AYBWaML6
music producer soon left.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KG9yx0AES
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGBlBxSv4o
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwFpjL5RuG
"Ya, we should," I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHSO478Uxc
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHosInnSBok
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wWerSc4hY
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAdWi99Wk7
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbexxP8WjUa
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4FexpzRV2
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWvTP0tUnN
As soon as we left the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOuBRpwqXu
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4yaqiaXYF
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsivujoAlwV
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgeMxNFCLx
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi5jQo2Fzn
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9WMiyBc4G
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e0wGki1pj
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXUzsDxCZc
G-Dragon drove away and 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SFVKuiyLi
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAfx7Ehypr
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6XFxRQcem
"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.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNd4A7mjMO
"What?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE5aPWQGma
"Did you two argue?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNHu9txSEo
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkuhdIp8TL
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ieh2YdlIw
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnrGlBLJLw
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJik4EW1emu
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5IOrUL4wm
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUogbuR4oc0
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwAzAAdiPg
With quick strides, I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqc0McyfvG
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaITyK3guq
could look at him directly in his face.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKqnd8Y3Nm
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm5IVAHQxg
"I want you to tell me the truth."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYxLRC2QNF
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7eEpZvceV
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJRkd1Zkcl
G-Dragon chuckled and 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKgzKC8I4s
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOOMcwTFFf
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm7n8mCZaX
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ614RpJUbBD
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy4lA2JQFp
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHW2z9hnmw
"And how do you know?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8j0vcLJ4A
"I'm her best friend. 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC7p5D32eM
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw88IrQTtqu
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsiS9Kqf7T
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7lyEU2450
"Zoey can't end her 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KwyVRV3Mw
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh2xscLZDz
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q4nVqBTgi
you did something."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI2Q49YTDN
"Me?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyNjCGoj6K
"Da! Yes, you!"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu99klSWZau
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMlgbAPtsB
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy4IjxDjLi
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbFBVNTVhs
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2W6sYPm9J
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVaLLUHTnb
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUIY5imEIS
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl1S23ls7t
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q7SU5fwKv
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnCrfYiKgY
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVwyIiy3By
"Ya. Sure."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LRulwCZlp
"Now, will you please 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsdSe1jRO4
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQj2V5u6b2
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPJHoqJddL
interview."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTh4Glwo07
I didn't say anything, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcmOWb4NRA
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcxmTVLuXp
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IWqS7R88k
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkGlSBfgb8
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXEXVsYJvL
but nothing.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMArM1FV1pA
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.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSVEmy2Jbc
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbsbFr2ePW
"I'm not," I said as I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P4C3tpiU1
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlWj9cwFB3
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxoQr21h9y
G-Dragon sat down beside958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEK6iZ1VzE
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNAU5Zdenr
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRhMwWkJg2
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaSodhLSbf
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAVg9zTWnt
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHq9pTHPaY
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7oTm1q2ia
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAHG2GPlXI
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJcwj5y3jC
"You love nature, don't you?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfglroetbo
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpt6o7ADKT
At that moment, I was so958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6AHEntHAZ
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpwGaDeA50
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd22aid7gI1
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpwI8lbZDJ
even the noise around me seemed non existent.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHZxkpuGRN
Then I felt something 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTIGY6jJfA
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawlZPN5twq
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ5t77r8je
was staring at me.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUyXWGXj6p
"What?" I asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9fKgoomfU
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl20eAR8y0
I blushed all of the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqvKvGEcws
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71QIH0CN7Q
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xltdH7Cmr
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXM71psczz
I would have said yes to958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe0YBr24DZ
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66fq2RKPDg
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw1jLIGgu0
were never meant to be.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fqy7olxL6
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJyvAGUhTY
"Why?" He asked softly.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmbgh7Pj3g
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCkibAwdvt
"What do you mean?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0fqkojinj
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIEsntwiC4
"So?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFlgPCdpTJ
"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."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5tn9IvUBo
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MNkBlPVMd
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LETlWS40n
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VYcy3w4GO
"I know."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVftv1uWK0
"Then why are you doing this?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq79iQD09ok
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj95vZkD09Y
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsrrfHSJde
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHlMNjvkau
"You should find another958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZQHw4a1uM
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiEYpHWW67
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDtBTNUgdX
will never forgive myself."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvD4nAnrrV
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93fTkbeTYH
I wanted to smile but I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU24NAhcce
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznQ4l3wMbB
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLRQMLZ0he
like we had beef with each other.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9R8lBzKbh
Just as I was about to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPleCdxAuh
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1rsbvrkNm
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XE7t5xjuO
from his pocket and answered it.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqqD6LgPNv
"Hello? Christine?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kciQU0lf8
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQTq65N2QQ
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT2x8viBjT
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPXzk9W4j2
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWp1lsMyEg
"Where is she?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7TCcv3OSN
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtV8rv4zNF
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpqzwvtys7
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGkUhm6qi2
"Who is she with?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJMwsD5UVQ
"We're about to find out. Let's go."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0wEmJeN8H
G-Dragon got up from the958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAON97KXuGj
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2PtC6SKfU
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmJyJXgkcM
When we got in his car, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTe5W0mjfl
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkrGFNVmle
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zsnVR7MUB
looked across towards the café.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53JMJQ5H7v
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8fLjj0Lp7
Through the huge window,958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHJiofcD1F
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiwuRAGnsO
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z27QohsMV
day in the afternoon.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpC3vhFSLq
I searched for Zoey, but958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ718txEsS5D
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QYlTYZgHz
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrhkhq13gv
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANkpdh6iW3
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9vqPeKbCv
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90i9ifphrO
"Who is it?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjzKxqxlhV
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN0WcMlgBw
"Seriously?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gbhzGs1zj
"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?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4AT4Ok1ga
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgmF9yBglx
I rolled my eyes and 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqG1MSCd0M
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwzh86tWQ7
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPgDqx4tnN
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN7LmQoUDZ
She was sipping her cup 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuRUwCEcnm
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuojj7Z213
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmftWEc1H1
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckfQ0gHrCH
"Ya."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC6IhouKCM
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl70RaTwFiP
Zoey's smile made me 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1vRHfE1Iz
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7Tu7eIr48
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAXIzAnTDQ
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxgze9xlbk
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcBbaw8QRP
I felt a threat coming 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YcKllU3gc
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjK27uJ5fY
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjhxkxIZ5j
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzestdg6Cz
going on in there.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMy6iLmlfD
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHq5WGmbGM
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfKmnzMpZD
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cjx0Zizcx
Just as G-Dragon came 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t7Ls3JNVX
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3qkyxqlPP
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOleKxxQEo
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80OV4YZ8Mt
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm3Xn3dIv5
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sb6mFMr0j
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbpCIveaKU
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2vr80JmB5
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVi4sgvARP
I didn't answer him as I958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkQXhvrNqH
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PvXK5i5lu
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcqg7ddwue
managed to reach the café without getting hit.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhiTLNDGGf
When I got to the café, a958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1aGS5iSLK
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z1lXSXnsW
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw5Alc66tf
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ361jEJIocU
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DTSDSZTYY
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSFGL0FyDS
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3uNxINbXk
"Don't you dare try to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtCcl1fezq
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYekHOECuT
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4sZdUxqIJ
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ4oWQ9kRK
"Christine told you where I was?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYws3EeLd2
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhxZoimyMo
I heard the bell of the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ352ZqAmN41
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55zTfL1s5r
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8NUoYlA0D
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8jCyNUbe2
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKRqWoIz6P
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuBq1rxUGP
"Stop taking all this 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaSnRiqqPp
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqxZKmqv3B
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF7X8EUABu
The smile on Zoey's face958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IRpAuxnpD
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6rhidET7Q
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEUFTEMBRF
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g1H1kfhtE
ourselves.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFzKoPmguV
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQl0cnGPmc
"You're right," I said 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9flTcfktxU
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOipAAVwde
attracting so much attention sometimes.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Vb1gUHHm
The others had started 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06KuZDRoHR
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmZhrOchVi
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQPm5Ur8qJ
about who he was.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S3FabGW3N
After we left the café, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWAshWAFTI
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmTpuCeInY
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbbha7GMuH
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiSn3ZkoY3
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmXv5KIR1u
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHFgo1Zwpi
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecfXYYhpgF
Zoey and I went in 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqDnX574mf
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWGTzrOVqm
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx0AdVDONJ
We were all back in the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjWgmbvNId
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4NQJZ0HcL
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAkOa1AmPt
We gathered ourselves in958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV7HJSvMxd
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66iCWEccQK
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNw9kzQAqg
hands on my hips.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK3IU94usU
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T8bfU9BDa
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRCyiDhV5t
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1sl73KfFU
"Fine, I tell you," said958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHbppYksuO
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtWNyD4g55
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2iW6uDJkQ
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlUgfX4C2x
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9En9cS0ms
"No, I don't mind," said958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiiePdrGr4
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvwU54MF8Z
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnatDOwsSQ7
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OoTQxNC7g
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKmqi9qxW7
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09Kt122Iw3
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAEO2nBijU
"As much as that sounds 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NTHUWia8r
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJy8rbtFAq
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNclDRJoUeS
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEXQu66day
I started to tap my foot958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FgJWuB1J5
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZumbFc49H
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDVpmgaZm0
truth.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph9UsZp0z2
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8biPsMTSGB
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FLSU9h7Aq
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJpqD2HzSk
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEFeY3Z91P
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWiPtMOI4Q
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcLYQewiG6
"Okay, okay, eish," said958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkk4D5XI45
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkOVkyxNso
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VvbiJgU0Y
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivr1KMs4SY
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P2qobCyh0
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr33T5uwkGC
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtiMoboq3h
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4lEr19hUw
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.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqibD2dYhy
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDOxsJDuXz
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXYdUtGYxe
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCil7xcy4QU
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI2J4zevUn
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTVVISfrBa
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGDWLhNfUz
"Are you sure?" Daniel 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcU86GdoFj
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJLrOuyZFL
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeclIEfOe7J
haters or even us."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi4fl4AyVT
Daniel was right. Zoey 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZSikwpgmN
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt0NnPOa3U
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqqYSKAJN3
telling the truth.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrwayKavJZ
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP5oqzvlzY
"A very nice guy that 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyHVBbehvr
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklB9UtvMn0
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ln2FN3O3N
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznyhjbm6tr
I didn't want to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpo6wwSLnj1
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF12OIC32NJ
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQWz4PK5vn
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLd4ArkqQT
"And not dead," said 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXydcezPD7
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS0zL5JoEY
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUBNeoHhqQ
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mNFRZ9G8u
"And you better get 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDPjZonMW6
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy51vFfLzSS
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthlPjjKKdx
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3haNesufM
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzJpTVDvSx
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyAjXoB5pS
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V0XwCVVjD
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO9vtradpx
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd07KwaGeWd
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSfeYjnzzo
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe2BD47ckF
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2gho0kNGZ
One by one the BigBang 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCIXjmESNK
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmQJe9q66m
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLWaOZGy2r
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOA85yrgPr
When I went in my room, I958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX58dvXj3B
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrURpmg53JY
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6pJMeFVLG
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kWEwbk004
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2ZQ0ycsSQ
"About what?" I turned to look at her.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL0SuTRNWn
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr0KSdgpV6
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea94UAFy9a
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT57DTADaEX
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZM5SWO4QV
"Did you see the man's face?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd27nhZuIH
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OAZ01yE0c
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHLacwHvUO
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcCXUhd3aa
"I bet he is good 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdckX140D56
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDTmIjcg10
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDJbS4dCX7
told her to?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxJYfOKJPS
"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?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteUrfgeBaJ
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."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMRbyiw6GJ
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf5poqe3s3
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0uczCR3Nl
"That we have to find out."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ1s5xZxsD
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrEbT9y2CP
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd42cQQRFvV
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG2jGIlDlR
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFdPM85PuZ
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa5Z2Fi176
Oh my. Had he told her 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzGVOgf5Rp
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRTbYyWKG3
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkavcOq8fE
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jWsWiU49h
"What did you talk about?" I asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjdTeLitaJ
"He was just pissed that958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYdp1DrXnA
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qVqcRyWzo
that might have upset me or something."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSacqi049DJ
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr9X8yP0UQ
"But he didn't."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzr1pBU6lS
"I see why Sam asked," 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6WOomh7Tx
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1xaalKCg0
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaptPWecB4P
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11y2xYciR8
And I hope it will never958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC4vRbOOVU
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UcKTObtJf
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0gzJ7glZL
was yet to come at any moment.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYTLeQmjW9
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NAIfjyl9W
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyB82Pclbq
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ7bmHb5BR
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxYouE2xpH
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc2MeU3TEC
Christine, Zoey and I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJtQXIYXkt
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgsmhAg5t9
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeIbCVNM3f
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EojY3MZrO
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ejKpuGcHt
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0I9VASnO1
"Yes, he is," said Lee 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzvkIvsjFj
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkb5MTGwkH
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2E2sEvrkn
well."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL3RkGTOv7
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOZD3yppzD
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSaMv9EGHz
"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."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjgyNhYaoF
"Us?" I asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpqvgNCLsK
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu88Mof4Zdc
Christine and I rushed 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM86CPLeJPV
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdZcTUBtMu
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFqRhSUFGt
hand.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTUeXhc5JB
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFoRbi62fz
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vtT9O38p9
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQzGgKiEbp
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNM0nlJWCY
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.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxC5AZA6QZ
I took the letter and 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMBZ2RpTU2
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zOpWWYmoe
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaP8uP6d8X
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjYk8w1WxV
"That's it?" Mike asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVM6aJB5so
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUelTWqYh47
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2Q6pPraW4
"All that the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC3FMLMOCD
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzalfmXnl7q
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGApKTd5bZG
My eyes went wide and my958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1dO0tg2MM
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7tjmip3ld
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXTUfBwxlk
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8b5ca760b
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRQIbuwdHr
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuu4UsvC4s
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzE9Cv25a1
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?958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zCOi8d47X
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5bTsF6Nvh
Christine threw Daniel 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hexdPTKs9
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n7vZRlZjQ
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnm8ZYHXF6
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYzS5nZW1F
person you barely even knew.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldb2cOkNhJ
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVo1zq5ljH
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaWPYlL08H
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg0F5dixVP
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqkFtNnsGg
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrjNRxy3vL
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6rjecivYY
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrY5SPG9Ol
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEkzjucB6L
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3NUf90jVg
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7L5IRYdCx
"Okay, but take your 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWUmUWLDVB
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZV0GNExti
last prayers before I leave this earth."958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFykPAVvkr
I rolled my eyes but I 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRfelsvWm8
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJM5ZgmJfj
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyUqkjgkRd
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuazwfDixDD
The other three couldn't958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl24ZzPjuzQ
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUnilSh2jH
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O8WJZ6shm
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Qp8uPwOg
nothing happened.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmkbOqGJ5c
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC44t4NY3pv
"What is it?" Christine asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOW5W4aQmw
I looked up at the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPZD9OltuX
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjvncrIjm1
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubqHz9HeVR
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNho8fhMfEW
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e4ZiVr8xs
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bl1Hf9VEw
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK7F1QKVXF
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm6szZLbDa
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOxMTWq81H
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym1IlnNTZL
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojuh8tGGnz
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumk7YgSmBH
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gZCIboHTu
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJsz7ioETg
It was then that Zoey 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx76sk0cxB
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYFJ6djsHp
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnRMYY4S5v
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAE1DSEhRE
stranger who she was with today that sent it.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NRjSgHP4J
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstKOUQazUH
"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.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtVrc30a6A
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cNAL9b5vb
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FH4q7q0hB
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bpo2kmiOX
This time, they laughed 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvDPLFQ8tQ
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzb7tlxRVO
had feared for our lives and it was for no good reason. I saw the 958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyMIpO4mSo
