Have you ever been awake961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1dzDm5vbj
for so long in your bed with no thought or sign of sleep and your heart961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl86RYpGolh
isn't at peace because you're afraid of what's going to happen as the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kuwjqiVEm
day goes on?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSujilfKwZ
That's how I felt right at this moment.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dqZHYI22m
I tossed in my bed, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ2XxC9y1N
turning to the side and looking towards the curtain. There was still no 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMgQY4US6r
sign of the sun coming up and I was getting frustrated. I wished the sun961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwrYOtnq9d
could come up so that I could meet my end already.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88I8YdHTQj
I quickly sat up and went for my phone on the drawer close to my bed. I checked the time. It was only 4 AM.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxaznO8LZe
I fell back on my bed, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOPqgu6ryk
the back of my head hitting the pillows real hard. I clenched my teeth 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZZVyEghVg
in irritation. Sunrise felt like forever and I was already tired of 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72UX5zedtU
sleeping. This had been the third time that I had to wake up and only 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQVsHpKBVw
realise that I had only slept for a few minutes. I wish I could sleep 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyJ9DDtWrV
till sunrise, but waking up three times meant I was too bothered in my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFqtT9tEuP
mind even to dream.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLNa96A3uB
I turned to my other side where my stuffed panda lay beside me and I cuddled it in my arms.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rNY4C8tQM
How I wish I could fall 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6837wbPbry
asleep. I admired Zoey whom I could hear snoring slightly in her sleep. I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEtBWnow1m
stared up at the dark ceiling trying to picture things in my mind but I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UBisZfSCF
couldn't. Even my imagination wasn't working.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf11guvUbu
I sighed as I looked at the panda. I couldn't stop thinking of what I was going to do today, especially with G-Dragon and Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32ge7Enrc1
I knew I now had to face961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazU1BaM57B
the music. And even though we had quite a hectic day yesterday, Zoey 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L1mRjabKj
hadn't given up on me about what happened with G-Dragon and me. And even961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEdIF3d746
though she was tired when we got back, she still hadn't stopped 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIji6ytRFO
bothering me until she finally gave up and went straight to bed.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHzlFCRVZa
I knew her persistence 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcyf8agHLB
was far from over and I had to prepare myself for more of it today. I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZXvWvvSgN
know Zoey must be very worried about me, but I was more worried about 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLG1o44IWd
her if I had to tell her the truth.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5obgMWN3ec
I know sometimes we 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMnSeR4AEU
people lie to prevent the others we love and care about from getting 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHro419Alcc
hurt. But there will come a point in time when you can't keep it to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeOboivuCn
yourself any longer because the guilt will eat you up inside. Sadly, I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ab7H9d7AK
had now reached that point.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAgbimM5jY
I sighed again as I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO3Wc3pTci
turned again to the other side, taking the panda in my arms with me. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0xOGaZvWJ
What wrong did I ever do to be in the position I was in right now?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiCe3PuGBn
If it came to G-Dragon, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIdq6Wd4OX
he was going to be one person who will be difficult to talk to. I know I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1R2Rds7sI
betrayed his trust, and trying to convince him was going to be a whole 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2tLS8SEVP
lot harder.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAyaw9fbEe
How was I going to tell 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yeTE6FeeZ
him that yes, Daesung and I did kiss, but all of that happened due to a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79LQWBQ4UD
completely different story? I know how bad he must be feeling and if I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZoMvdVPxq
was in his shoes, I probably wouldn't believe anything I would say 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXXlFexlRk
either.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ45DWwHFS
I kicked out the bed 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4KY3rc7df
covers and got up from the bed. And taking Mr Panda with me and my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KGTrDKzTW
phone, I slipped my feet into my bed slippers and walked out of the room961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rOcENVfRQ
in my purple pyjamas.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66bpsgBCfu
I went straight for the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouh6xfr1zn
dark, empty lounge and I turned on the lights. I went to sit on the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW73Sl44EGi
comfortable couch and with my feet up and folded with Mr Panda in my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJNbbPnsBT
arms, I unlocked my phone and went straight to my contacts and called my961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWX3FXfT20
mum.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmW9a4Q5Sz
Hopefully, I was calling961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ps05Wzzn8
her at the right time. I wasn't really sure what time it would be back 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWRHzqaPGl
home in the U.S. I was too bothered to even try and figure out all this 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp4widk9fP
time zones nonsense. I just had to talk to someone. And why not my mum?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiCOp4oQ0c
I put the phone to my ear hoping she would pick up. I just hope she wasn't busy at work or something.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpqIc6Ftal
She finally picked up the phone on the fourth ring.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyIV3KO6F0
"Hello, Sam?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsIQlx7nak
"Hi, mum."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPJDicIUMD
"Sam, how are you, dear?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eN8Jb2Sjv
"I'm good. How are you? Are you at work?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVODkZKT4TF
"Yes, I am, sweetie. I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6bolUtuvs
am just looking at photos online on the computer. A friend of mine just 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lIBiLKTza
told me you guys went out bowling with BigBang."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYcK50GsiS
"Ah.." I scratched my head. "We did, mum. And we had fun."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7G3dhWK5y
"Ya, I can see you guys 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd5YG3p0Jd
smiling and laughing on the photos." I could hear clicking in the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfck1MdJxsY
background and that confirmed that she was tapping away on the mouse of 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsTi7ObtL3
her computer as she looked at the pictures.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPblHCp1sP
"So, was it more like a competition?" she asked. "It's says here that you guys won."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09OxcLy3t3
"It was mum. We won," I said with a smile. "You should have seen what happened. It was awesome."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgbcaatPes
"I'll check out the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWDh7CwtPy
videos later on and see everything for myself, dear," I could hear my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVdx3gI2C6
mum clicking quickly on the mouse. "Now tell me. What's bothering you? 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIZpX4CYzw
Why aren't you asleep?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQcVoBwFQV
I raised an eyebrow. "You know what time it is here?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuSZZeFCho
"I'm your mother, Sam. Of course I know what time it is."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUXDHr3wV0
I could imagine my mum 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZTIdr2pj6
with a stern look on her face as she said that. If we weren't talking on961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ809Fs8HF
the phone and I was standing in front of her, she probably would have 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rknxvil3w
her arms folded.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GqIfsHpvy
"I know its way too early in the morning for you to be awake right now," she continued. "What's up?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbDhaTvLT8
"I feel my whole life has been nothing but a lie, mum," I said as I tugged at Mr Panda's ears.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BlDFbA8cy
"Your name is Samantha Glasson and you're a famous pop star. That my child, is not a lie."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkcHLCDqTg
"Mum, you know what I mean when I say that."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukHojuksxL
She sighed. "What did you lie about this time?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj22fceeiJ
"I've lied way too much in my life, but this time, I think I'm in a really big mess that I can't seem to get out of."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAaERuoCTa
"Tell me. I've all the time to listen."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZmevICuDh
"I've been lying to Zoey961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7rXol7p51
and everyone else about G-Dragon and I, and I don't now how to tell 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYjBc6LKy5
them, especially Zoey since she likes G-Dragon so much. It would crush 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ajjb4GyKN
her if she finds out G-Dragon likes me and not her."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO1c7T8Cd1
"I thought you girls weren't supposed to date any one of those guys."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8eDGm8ZOG
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Wow. Collins really does tell you everything, does he?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXegttyHlCz
"Whatever he tells you, we as parents have to know too. I hope Zoey's mum isn't going to freak when she finds out."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdnADmnXSx
"Trust me, mum, Collins 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeosMjps3eH
has no clue with what's going on in our private circle and I suggest 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cYVDeAXNB
that you shouldn't say a word either."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8iA2RcLCg
"Is that a threat?" I imagined my mum's eyebrow raised.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcwWsCcEVf
"You know I can never 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwyjzQNd8L
threaten you, mum. It's just for now until we come back home. It's a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU8465Fp3W
matter of life and death. I've no choice."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiAG2PjCjL
"I know. But why does Zoey like him?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAZnlPECXs
"Knowing Zoey, you must know by now the kind of guy she would fall for, mum."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65Kjs6uxxG
"True. But how come she likes him but he likes you? Don't tell me you also like him too."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu1N31Hc3E
"Well....." I hesitated, trying to figure out what to say next.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nUBmQ2nMF
"Samantha Glasson," my mum's voice sounded stern now. "Tell me the truth."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmwvUMtEVJ
I sighed. "I also like him, mum."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxpuBxpjKV
There was silence at the other end. Until....961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmzUYcNzyy
"WHAT!"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4mdCmLl9f
"Mum, calm down. It's not what you think."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3sbUPIoOX
"Then what is it? The 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP7gPqxM3g
way I'm seeing it, you also like him and you feel guilty because you 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwynZJnUWdT
feel like you're betraying your best friend."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvEt9f88uk
"It was like that at 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDfw1uGmGH
first. I really do like G-Dragon but I'm learning to like him as a close961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yZcHwpQZG
friend because I know how Zoey likes him and because of Collins' 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVFa6IZLho
'golden rule'." I put "golden rule" in quotation marks with my remaining961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70VZ0xcbX0
fingers.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHwW6QYFro
"What do you mean it was like that at first?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY4kJovPR0
"I like G-Dragon, but he isn't the only one."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5Hj5cnIi4
"Don't tell me you like someone else from the same group too."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskVCch0v32
I closed my eyes as I winced. "Yes, mum."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdbM4nBpRA
She didn't say a word. I wondered what she was thinking right now.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1uitayOBn
"You're really in one hell of a mess, dear."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRzJYlBiwR
"And that's not the worst part."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE1BYVHs1L
I told her what happened961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFJqyDmL8X
the day Zoey went missing, making sure I didn't mention the stranger in961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9STYgdOIPO
the suit. I talked about what G-Dragon and I had talked about in the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW2K9QiWIy
park and what we agreed upon. Then I told her what happened with Daesung961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eT7yubZgz
and the kiss.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hJVyqAhL6
"You kissed?" my mum sounded surprised.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvZZgnCUnB
"Ssh, and listen."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXqPJKyzG3
I told her that G-Dragon and Zoey saw us but they didn't witness the kiss. And I told her what happened afterwards.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv7yue3kKi
"You're in a real mess, Sam. You now have two people to tell the truth to."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTOu6k01VS
"If it's not Zoey and G-Dragon, then it's the entire group."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzjaemAYh6
"I know. But you can't lie forever now, can you?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE0KVoM5QA
I thought of what she said. "You're right. We all deserve to know the truth someday."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9tUWxLlje
"Are you scared?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbrUd1mxHS
"I am. Maybe that's why I can't fall asleep." I hugged Mr Panda close to me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4AmHonrfb
"It's okay to be scared, sweetie. And it's good that you decided to come out clean."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6ckfQS5aY
"I don't want people getting hurt because of me." I could now feel tears coming up in my eyes.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZUkXzqmgU
"We all get hurt at some961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYHtN528NS
point in our lives, sweetie. That's why there is a time for everything.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmMSGlj3QN
Just wait and see. After the storm, everything will be back to the way 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIMoiqdSAm
it was and everyone will forget about it. Besides, no one can stay mad 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8InoYeMxS6
at you forever, Sam. Not even me."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEJIE9sU0i
I smiled as a tear ran down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBaBAUHAqe
"Thanks, mum." I sniffed.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T5XyMJgsL
"Don't cry, okay? You're961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA7ZDSyJ4K
a brave girl. Now, do me a favour and get a few minutes of sleep. You 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrJGZ7iGZr
will need all the rest you can get."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1kfHagM73
"Yes, mum. I will."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIjvamUqHK
"Bye, Sam. Tell me what happens, okay?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ic5IIiroF
"Okay. Bye."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3h3EXGEGS
I hang up and I quickly 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVe9mmKLRK
got up from the couch with Mr Panda and went back in the room, straight 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByMvLNEZeU
into the bed covers. I fell asleep in an instant with Mr Panda in my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5VPX1jBJz
arms.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdNYyPB9xK
It must have been some 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJIDj0mWdi
time around 7:40 when I finally woke up. The sun rays shone brightly 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkZNosjlsN
into the room that I had to shield my eyes with my hand from the light.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazP3rzn8pa
"Wakey! Wakey!" Zoey came over and sat next to me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW7O9cUJsm
"Mmmm." I murmered as I turned around and covered my head with a blanket. "Leave me alone."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyAMY1XoTF
"You've to get up, Sam. We have a big day ahead of us."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Px8qllJ6q
"Isn't it a Sunday today?" I asked as I removed the blanket from my head.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqnJpFlcCC
"Sadly, it isn't, my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN8XczOm5F
dear kitty," said Zoey as she placed her hand on my head. "Looks like 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmPQap9bFB
you weren't the only one praying for it to be a Sunday."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXheHxc0gb
"Okay." I muttered as I sat up on my bed and rubbed away the sleep in my eyes.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4lgdMu8iR
"You know you have a lot of explaining to do, right?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEZrO6jxju
I yawned, then sighed. "I know. You don't have to tell me."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TZszjabvp
"So, start talking right now."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bIwHa4ut5
I looked at Zoey with wide eyes. "You want to talk now?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBazmfwkts
"Ya. I'm still really worried about you."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlW0jwxKGk
Looks like I had no choice. This was it. Time to tell the truth.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIFyomXdrM
"What I'm about to tell you, is going to crush you completely, Zoey."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2f1qz67zt
Zoey turned to look at me with a serious look on her face. "What are you saying, Sam? Is it that serious?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPN9Qy8dNK
"It really is, and I feel bad that I have to tell you."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi9aT2yDBD
I hesitated as I looked down at my hands and played with my fingers. Zoey put her hand over mine and I looked at her.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkq7aHkdbN
"Just tell me, Sam. Even if it's going to hurt."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZUngRdPkJ
I closed my eyes bracing myself for impact. My heart was pounding so hard.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ik02nEg5L
"It's about G-Dragon and I," I said. "I'm sorry to say this but...."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjs61jTqWH
"You like him, don't you?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli5eVrvkU8
I opened my eyes in shock. That wasn't supposed to happen. And what made Zoey say all that?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzcHTtgLOn
"I..uh...no, that's not it."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuUYKBdGyi
Zoey laughed. "Don't worry, Sam. I know how much you also like him. I'm not mad."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchIIdzBs7G
"Zoey, that wasn't what I...."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFuePIiZQf
"Expected from me?" Zoey961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l57tI6Cga
grinned as she flipped her hair to the side. "I know, you're surprised.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvtYhk9xxr
I like him, you like him, the whole world likes him."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBFNqoC360
"Zoey, I..." Zoey placed her index finger on my lips to keep me from talking further.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbqVOwk0bm
"I know you feel guilty 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7XksPWhkp
that you like him because I do too. Don't worry about it, because I know961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71m7fOd18O
that you wouldn't try to steal him away from me."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7k479KOZ0
I gulped. What was I going to tell her now? How was I going to her that G-Dragon liked me and not her?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh2tao4ujF
"Aren't you worried that G-Dragon might just like someone else and not you?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DeNnLp4Qn
Zoey shrugged as she was deep in thought. "I haven't thought of it that way. I know that he only has eyes for me."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uRFbH6L1q
I wanted to slap my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDVumauwrg
forehead in frustration but I gave Zoey a weird look instead. I couldn't961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuqXoXsTbj
blame her when you were blindly in love. But I had to stop this before 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpV4LUvNmU
it gets out of hand.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3Dm3aUbbN
"Zoey, listen to me," I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrJH2kDhTb
said as I looked at her in the eye. "I admit that I like G-Dragon, but 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGv3nAAyag
not in the way you think. You on the other hand, need to know that...."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz4U16A46T
I paused. That was odd. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uYq7JRekx
The words were spilling out of my mouth just fine. What's happened now? I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkIi1cvPTa
felt someone had just cast a spell on me and now I was tongue tied.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb2toiDaGR
Zoey looked at me, irritated that I had stopped talking. "What do I need to know?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRZ7z7ouV7
What was wrong with me? I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcY7w5qwXE
had so much confidence when I was talking just now and I still do. But 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwzRC5JiTi
now, I couldn't say anything. I opened my mouth to speak, but still 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3r3j2DMck
nothing came out. Zoey shook her head.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf9856NkHT
"You're weird, Sam," 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89CzLdNU1E
Zoey stood up from my bed and went straight for the bathroom. "When you 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wFFK1uDKv
finally have the courage to tell me what you wanted to say, I'll be 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vnpxloSxJ
waiting."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkceGMdsn4
Zoey closed the door and961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8NF7Fk1sC
I heard the shower tap turn on. Oh no! I blew it this time and that 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KZVn9fZ9f
just proves that telling her the truth was going to be a whole lot 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQwuqmhG08
harder than I thought.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsj07AWP1V
At least Zoey knew that I once liked G-Dragon, that's if she really took what I said seriously.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uLSiUWLE6
This was all so messed up and I felt like I was going nuts.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqByhq3E1sF
I stood up from my bed 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHiPkpgYkc
and started to pace up and down, thinking. What happened to me a few 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrv7wpI07n
minutes ago? Why couldn't I tell Zoey the truth? Well, half of it, which961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCC3iBn07y
is the most important part.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo3sDywR1t
"It's not your portion to say anything to Zoey. And you know it."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiai3MGG2a
Whatever my conscious 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmNmFqU8Tw
was saying inside my head was true. G-Dragon did say that he will end 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisNbVtrDdn
things with Zoey and tell her the truth. Was that why I was tongue tied 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyWFzI2kvK
and I couldn't say anything? I had no any other reason as to why.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50WdkBRvat
If that was the case, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK6RhpQIa1
then G-Dragon better do it fast. The earlier it was, the better. Before 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ230DXz6Zj8
Zoey really gets too much involved with him or else she would be 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnRor1xxCJ
shattered completely.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU3VgdXFtB
While I was trying to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9z9MffyP3
figure out what to do next, my phone rang and I went on the bed to reach961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0TXrLyFcw
out for my phone that laid on top of the drawer next to the lamp.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQQFRTwD0x
When I checked the caller ID, I raised an eyebrow. An unknown number. I wonder who it was?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0lamw2W0i
I answered the call. "Hello?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMSXiQ7q0U
"Bonjour, mademoiselle," came a deep husky voice from the phone. The man had a French accent.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA09Ri3Zvp
I held my breath. That 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i6rSUiVck
sent a chill down my spine. Who was this? Dang it! I'm supposed to be 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq6PQNQMMm
asking that question, not thinking it.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TZ8WIAUwm
I cleared my throat. "Hello? May I know who this is?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDxNrJJVia
The man chuckled. "Who I am isn't important. What matters is that we talk."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1LXNf7v1Q
"Talk? Talk about what?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsjmNKjkH0
"Did you check the photo I sent you?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA7mEQ93V9
"Photo? What...?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i0ky5q06z
I paused when I realised the photo he was talking about. I had completely forgot about it.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZWaaDRaSk
"Oh!" I slapped my forehead. "I never downloaded it to see what it was." I raised an eyebrow. "What's the photo about?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBxGx5tYY6
"If you haven't seen it,961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQRdVGaead
then it's best you see it for yourself. I can't tell you over the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RE2jIEL23
phone. When you see it call me or text, will you, sweetheart?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTfJ8vx8S8
Sweetheart? What was this guy playing at? What was the photo all about?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyyDFk7Uan
"Are you trying to blackmail me with the photo?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYuJj7jnzY
"I wouldn't call it blackmail. But everything would be more interesting if you're involved."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXEPRXafPY
"If I'm involved? What do you mean?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIpPE2jCML
I could soon hear the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVmcisz6V6
person hanging up and I growled. I looked at my phone like I wanted to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSOj2Hp6qj
break it. What was going on today? First, I had G-Dragon and Zoey to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuReV5pLna
handle and now, I had this stranger calling me and making things worse.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OCYLogz0I
I looked back at my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6aIy2MJ4K
phone and started to go straight to my messages. I checked the message I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz5Oe871DQ
had received from the unknown man and I realised that I still hadn't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbTfU8XMOu
downloaded the picture. I switched on my mobile data and started to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYR8WDUkdo
download the photo.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkElOje5RZs
"Sam! Zoey!" Lee came all of the sudden into the room. She almost scared me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMpixG0cA3
"Goodness, Lee!" I held my chest as my heart beat fast. "There is a thing called knocking, you know?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEtAiv0Kei
"I know, I thought you guys were still asleep."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTPC2tgaWD
"No matter," I said. "We're all awake as you can see."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ku3HEj3Tm
"Okay. Get ready, we have to leave for the studio."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPWKDZcli9
I nodded and Lee left. I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdr36Cmjwh
went back to looking at my phone. I frowned. The internet was so slow 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagto5667qL
today. The photo hadn't finished downloading yet.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUgCMfKM4s
"I'm done," said Zoey as she came out of the bathroom in her towel. "You go get ready."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg1AlBPbJE
"I just want to see something first," I said as I pointed at my phone.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinE1fc1Zft
Zoey walked up to me, took my phone and threw it on her bed.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWAaHGuY2K
"Zoey!"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4csw1k09pw
"Not a word, Sam. You're961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGEEc19Gt7
always the one telling me to get ready and be punctual, but you don't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHKp6Mj6jY
want anyone telling you anything. Just go take a shower. I wonder what's961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dtl7SyrRU
up with you today."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aDjDGhIJq
If only she knew. So 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuM5XsHfLk
many things were running in my mind that I couldn't seem to focus on one961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUelqBbZcW
thing because something else would just pop up all of the sudden.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO24VqDLISG
I went to the bathroom 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWqA8XyxsR
and locked the door behind me. Before I could undress and get into the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppEHNa5xtu
shower, I went over to the mirror above the sink and looked at my own 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW2zmspYbj
reflection.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWetVYRW7W
I looked like I hadn't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3PArw8Z5V
had sleep in days with all the dark circles underneath my eyes. I was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzP0cF3yza
deeply troubled, that's for sure. My problems just got increased by one 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K6VYctdAN
if not by two.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarMVOsgA0N
G-Dragon and Zoey were 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD8F6BB6yN
my main problem to tackle today. And all of the sudden, an unknown 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph1wkiNFPU
stranger calls and tells me about the photo which I had no idea or clue 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xJQOJ0rEw
about. And why he sent it to me was the most confusing part. If he 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00QLmHcV0H
wasn't blackmailing me, then what was this charade about?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMkP0NcCDv
After I took a quick 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNhTvGMv1B
shower, I quickly went back in the room and I went straight for my phone961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjUyFRi4QK
on Zoey's bed. Zoey had already dressed up and she went past me into 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g3RmRfZrV
the bathroom to get her makeup done.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qXN4UcXoa
I unlocked my phone. I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfGKyHVnZu
was pretty anxious about the photo that even my hands were shaking. The 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iM6wx2Dwj
photo must be done downloading by now.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMekVdWqZgE
Just as I unlocked the phone, it vibrated. Someone was calling me. Oh no! What now?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuVlb86f4m
Seungri was calling. What could he probably want to talk to me about this early in the morning?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnOCrCkP2u
"Hello, Seungri?" I answered.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhWg0fPU4c
"Morning, my panda," said Seungri.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgXLo9dFLL
"Morning. How was your night?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooHwkCHXvb
"My night was perfect, since I dreamt of you."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWHpt6Bqxg
If I was myself, I would have blushed by those words. But now, I was as confused as ever and I didn't know what to say next.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLTt2ms2EL
"Oh, wow," I said, trying to act a little surprised. I hope he bought it.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEQfbm7rA4
"I've a little something I want to give you when you get to YG."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci6TjrX8s6
I smiled a little. At 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrcgYnB33k
least out of all that was going on, Seungri managed to make me smile, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66o3lpdBsj
which was quiet peculiar because he didn't say anything funny. I was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DLUkdAkbC
already imagining another huge stuffed panda waiting for me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKPXOl2CWw
"Can't wait," I said with a little laugh. "See you."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQSFCtNg6b
"You too."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiny3Hge5iJ
He cut the line and I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kHR4I6ne5
threw my phone on the bed. I decided to dress up first and have my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xq2W51Hva
breakfast, before Zoey came back in the room and start to pressurise me 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsDdCAA4fP
again. I had already pissed her enough this morning.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NOe2aHe2o
After I dressed up and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkSw5lEDBc
Zoey had left for breakfast, I went in the bathroom to get my hair done 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbBA5Y7vEJ
and applied a bit of makeup to hide my dark circles. When I was done, I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLfg2wBLRB
went back in the room and without a thought of making my bed, which I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6SRzWtySE
always did, I wore my black pumps, grabbed my phone and went out of the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNDsIb9c0n
room.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxQVkTAXwK
Just as I got into the lounge, I made a bee line to the dining table. Everyone was at the table eating their breakfast.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNwnFZVHr5
"Someone isn't themselves this morning," said Collins as he watched me approach the dining table.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Ue4g0Dit
I knew he was talking about how late I was today. I was usually the earliest to be at the dining table.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfsLCVu9T4
"Sorry," I said as sat down next to Lee. "I was pretty bummed up, that's why."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXycoZ0SNB
"No pressure, just eat up, we have a lot of work to do today."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG4zrfZP78
There was a variety of breakfast options today and I decided to take some cereal, which I haven't had in a while.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBBbUQ8mSX
As I got the box of cereal and poured the contents in the bowl in front of me, I couldn't help feel all eyes were on me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTxYSgQygv
I looked up and just as I had guessed it, all eyes were definitely on me. What had I done now? I put the box of cereal down.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPZrWzKNyB
I looked at everyone at the table and when they didn't say a word, I shrugged my shoulders.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjCM28rEBD
"What?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW4BMyl4y6
Mike who sat opposite me cleared his throat. "You're eating cereal."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiuyhhIb1Y
I frowned. "So?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQvFjNYiDW
"But there is bacon and eggs with toast," said Daniel.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4uVoxLolM
I was still confused. "So?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpTWgUm1Ge
"You usually don't eat cereal when there is bacon, eggs and toast," said Collins.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqrNh2JMIN
"And cereal is kind of like my thing," said Daniel.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aoK9YKYcA
I don't know if I just hit my head or I had now landed in Crazy Town. What was wrong with just having cereal for a change?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApFc1kPwCp
"I don't see the harm in961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmT9bqWGTJ
eating cereal. I have oatmeal whenever I feel like it and that's still 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFiHcDcrqb
cereal," I said. "I just wanted something different for a change. Is 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9f0C6bZac
that wrong?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowRcqTts7R
Everyone else looked at each other and then they looked back at me, shaking their heads.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfssF16qHG
"Thank you," I said as I got a jug of milk and poured into the bowl. "I haven't had sweet cereal in a while and I miss it."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2gFk00IZn
"I can see that," said 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW01oQN1Gz
Zoey as she drank from her cup of coffee. I knew she was making fun of 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnXFTXTTTx
me but I decided not to say anything.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ig1g1ReWm
When we were done with 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7hz2xvKxQ
breakfast, we headed downstairs in the lobby and the black SUV was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO7QFDeXsc
waiting for us as usual. When we got in, I made sure to take the back 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAWahSpiSV
seat with my brothers next to the window so that I would avoid people 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOg1hIT32h
looking at my phone.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7PlcfD8Ii
When everyone in the car961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0fHFz6MYm
was engrossed in some conversation that I had no interest in joining in961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMbvipxYuu
or listening to, I decided to check my phone. The photo was done 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHp3IBysem
downloading and what I saw made my mouth drop and my eyes pop.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3CPVDYn8T
"What's wrong, Sam?" Mike who sat next to me asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmADCzLP75k
I quickly pressed the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuy5LoJMEl
power button on the side of the phone and blacked the screen. Mike was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlErWQbNXJ
already leaning onto my side to see what was on my phone.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6xXuG3Eiz
"Nothing, just some scary video," I said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbostRwfIyb
"May I see?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ph04Wa42w
"No. You won't be sleeping for the next two days."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYMBlpnfjz
"I've watched horror movies before. I can handle a little scare."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ478zYDh5ic
"No can do, bro," I said as I put my phone into my purse that I had decided to carry with me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQZrT86OiA
Mike leaned back and folded his arms. "Whatever."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIj1BZxm89
I wish I could tell him 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEjlOvuWz9
and everyone else what was going on. But at the moment, I felt like 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDH4Cw1ZEk
keeping everything to myself, not after what I had seen.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk4g1NDT3s
Now that I had seen the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqMLZeFqMv
photo, I had to meet up with the stranger and talk about all this. But 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfpcpJYNwM
where to meet the person and when was going to be a hustle. It was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxBOzrJcFG
pretty obvious that I had to meet him alone.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NDSDSeOqg
Speaking of which, I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T7j3sE5FQ
still had to convince G-Dragon about telling Zoey the truth. Now how was961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfvhgSPC7y
I going to do that given the little time I had in my hands? We had a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX0E0aVEx1
music video to prepare for and we had to start working on the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwdmy2tKsC
choreography today. This was hectic. And I knew that if I was pushed 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7kd2Ljh2N
further onto the edge, I would burst.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov0i92JiGk
Time seemed so short, given that I was thinking of ways to do things today. The next thing I knew, we had finally arrived at YG.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVvgPhJt0O
My heart skipped a beat.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRbaBmtBDd
I swallowed. This was it. G-Dragon was probably with the others waiting961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkilyggT18
for us inside. For a moment, I didn't want to go in. But I had no 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EwqGGuX9n
choice.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sIoWALO7E
As soon as I stepped out961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbQqoIdXhR
of the vehicle, I took a deep breath as I looked at the entrance. I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsrk7erTbh
felt like I was about to walk into hell and that frightened me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lfSZ3oO1I
"Are you okay, Sam?" Christine asked as she came to stand in front of me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZsbqH9Sxf
"I'm fine," I said. "I just realised that I haven't really thought of any ideas for the music video."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW96PxRP0CA
"You're aren't the only 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSPhAMy3fQ
one," Christine said with a smile. "Let's just hope our minds will get 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu32mOy5Dv
to work on that when we get in there."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseyrYkVpKQ
I managed to put up a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6mggN6ftg
smile, but I knew my mind wasn't going to be on full throttle today. How961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54jGftitw1
I wish this wasn't happening to me right now.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lzFbyCavV
As I came into the lobby961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB2uU4a6LY
with Christine, we found Collins talking to the receptionist. The rest 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0vWU8JWih
were heading towards the elevator and we joined them.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO3uvvGTMy
"You will be going up to the dance studio," Collins said as he turned to us. "The others are waiting for you there."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrZYTZMbq9
"Okay," the others responded. I for one felt really jumpy at the moment.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE36HTtgINf
We all got in the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OhJZgMhYk
elevator and Mike was busy talking about some dance moves he had come up961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24Vkn49oon
with and I wasn't really paying attention though I did get one or two 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSupUF67Qze
things.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeja1HUbwSe
We got to the dance 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEp56RBJ0x
studio while Lee and Collins decided to go upstairs to meet with Yang 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObmiRlcL59
Hyun-suk. We checked a few dance studios before we finally found them.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbubk6IMJPy
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted so enthusiastically as we came in the room.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQhuomqQEX
I was too lost in 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMKiDSUFiJ
thought to even reply to the other's greetings until Seungri came up to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zfq6zyCcO
me and hugged me. That brought me right back down to earth.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw2sGg3W45
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Seungri asked, still hugging me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1AvikoOSq
"I'm fine," I said, as I pulled myself away.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPq8yWnCRS
"If I know you well, you look pretty occupied in that head of yours," said TOP as he walked up to us.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePRbdmRuKF
"Tell me about it," said961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrb3vVYoqX
Zoey as she was now on the floor with Daesung standing right beside her961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5kZaCNBpJ
and she was removing her shoes. "She's been weird all morning."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqnz0RYzLd
"How weird?" Taeyang asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWMsnWH9RT
"Too weird," said Daniel.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ESmyVRsta
"Cut me some slack, guys," I said. I looked at Taeyang. "They are just saying nonsense."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR760HZZyYH
"Says the person who was so late to wake up today," said Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOgGLfZNER
"And ate sweet cereal for breakfast instead of bacon, eggs and toast," said Christine.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfckBKBWmIO
"And refused to give me her phone to check out what she was watching," said Mike.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR1H2a0zMX
I shrugged. "So? And Mike, seriously? Just over a phone?" I shook my head at my brother.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aZSuaAzQ4
"It's not like you, Sam," said Daniel. "That's all we are trying to say."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIe10ji1T4
I rubbed my forehead. "Look, guys, I'm just a little bummed out because of yesterday. Is that so wrong?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP58OYakFB
"No, I think something is bothering you," said Zoey, still on the floor.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPsfuqRGSA
"I'm fine. Trust me. My mind is pretty tired."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5LxxVwD4y
"Come on, guys, let's not stress her out because of this," said Daesung. "If she says she is tired, then she is."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmtnp9JzGh
Zoey slapped Daesung's leg with her hand and Daesung looked down at her. "Don't try to defend her."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAQoiziOw5
"I'm not."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwpEUKSbRC
Zoey snickered at him and I knew why. She still remembered the little incident yesterday with Daesung and me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw1ejNjWFQ
"Where is G-Dragon?" Daniel asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfFrzEvVl1
I looked around the room and I noticed that GD was the only group member who wasn't here.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecEEa2EkpC
"He went to get the choreographer," TOP answered.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6paKGI7EQ
"Now, Sam, about your little problem...." said Mike, turning to face me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDz1rgylcm
"Not now, Mike," I said as I folded my arms. "You can attack me later, just not now."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQxUb9WERX
"Not to worry, my little kitty," said Seungri who stood right behind me. "Maybe this will cheer you up."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlEKDEG7Uw
Before I could turn 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv77Oxd06s3
around to ask what he meant, I felt something settle at the top of my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmpd9qtNjX
head. My hand reached up for whatever it was.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoMctO4zX7
"A lovely crown for the lovely queen of k-pop," said Seungri.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cuD5oKLvN
I took the crown from 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGV85t9rMr
the top of my head to look at it. It looked more like a tiara but it was961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2O5mtDJSg
big enough to be called a crown. It was silver and studded around with 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5VrVyLdLT
what looked like real diamonds. Perched in the middle surrounded by 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HtcKsHSRk
diamonds was a sapphire stone in an oval shape.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5mybZ4LAo
"Wait, are these real diamonds?" I asked as I turned to look at Seungri with a surprised look on my face.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo28oFDDQw
"It is," said Seungri 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnhek5Ae1C
with a huge smile on his face. "And I know how much you value sapphire 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ49dp1ISGD
stones because it's your birth stone."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DwSstC7Zt
"Aww! Thank you so much,961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFqNjkWLpX
Seungri!" I gave him a hug and I couldn't stop smiling. Somehow, I knew961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExrBpMPEKg
he was going to brighten up my day today.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D6rQttbi0
"So pretty, let me see," said Christine, as she came and took the crown from my hand. "Wow!"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFIqVfKKeI
"I want to wear it," 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdvKfFBbyb
said Zoey as she got up from the floor and rushed to look at the crown. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOoMaD6u6K
Christine put the crown on Zoey's head.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnptBB10YX
"Don't I look like a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhcvIWZ4yc
true queen?" Zoey asked as she looked at her reflection through the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9RnNDfS8h
studio mirrors that lined up the walls of the room.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UjVxOMHZ9
"You look like that evil witch in those fairy tale fantasy movies," said Mike.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7vbofY9Of
"Haha, very funny," Zoey said as she turned to look at Mike.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfQsadclAm
"When did you even have the time to get it done, Seungri?" I asked, still a little surprised.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPphwAcVRuR
"I have my way of doing things just to impress you," said Seungri with a corky smile.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx2fR6KhOg
"Thank you. You don't know how much you just made me smile."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjwwGHRLYz
"It can clearly show on your face." Seungri softly pinched my cheek and I blushed.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsUYyvD6fB
"I should get my own crown," said Christine who also wore the crown and was looking at herself in the mirror.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t2epevtIA
"May her royal majesty 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoraRiYrw7N
get her crown back?" Taeyang asked as he came behind Christine and took 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4hG1neeg4
the crown from her head. He came up to me and put the crown on my head.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwDNq2J9c0
"Oh, hail the queen!" Taeyang chanted and I broke into a laugh, playfully hitting him on the shoulder.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcRLfXmPwq
"Stop it, will you? You're making me blush," I said, trying to cover my laugh with my hand.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMHYZMbsoa
"You look just like a real queen, Sam," said TOP.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelJjHNku51
"Thanks." I was still blushing like crazy.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMRl3jz0mq
"Let me take a photo," said Daesung, pulling out his phone.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77lKU6gVzu
"Ya. The whole world should see the queen of k-pop," said Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7HlPL1cq4
"Are you really calling me that?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynoSoR5Ee0
"We did win last night, didn't we?" Zoey asked. "Of course I'm calling you that."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEPMLCdycx
I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't really taking it that seriously. It was nothing but a game."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLny8fDH8XW
"A game we won. Cheer up. We are all kings and queens with you."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEaT65lIUE
I looked on at Zoey trying to smile as best as I could, but somehow I couldn't.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6ZBiitd7v
She couldn't tell the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CLj84Chp8
look on my face because she didn't even ask. Daesung went ahead and took961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePfxbNXqVv
pictures of me, and then we huddled together as a group to take a group961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bjc1uipAx
photo with me in the middle.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNldSjGCeW
"Hey, what's going on here?" G-Dragon asked as he came in the room.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2WdaUea51
"Taking photos with the queen," said Daniel.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKYwPdarXq
"The queen?" G-Dragon looked confused until he saw the crown on top of my head. "Oh..."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLyyyLZbSA
"It's pretty, isn't it?" Zoey asked. "You should also get me one."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF65qARndHk
"I can make a gold one if you want," said G-Dragon.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfC9XEgIVq
Zoey smiled. "Even better."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpkiroE2l7
G-Dragon turned to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAiWsRvE8P
Taeyang. "The choreographer is going to be here any moment now. So I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1IfWmrjAO
suggest we bring out your ideas if you have any. We can start without 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcdPPxH3py
him and he will find us."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BrfWLWGgu
"Mike told me over the phone earlier that he had some brand ideas," said Taeyang.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRVaXdiQDj
"Ya, I do," said Mike. "You guys just watch. I have the song in my phone so I'll play it from there."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ872gJu3oPA
We all stood on one side961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2k3bvIrKa
of the room while Mike took off his jacket and got his phone to search 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYOFMX0L9S
for the track. He gave Daniel to hold the phone and when he positioned 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzx0AFrVcN
himself in the middle of the room and turned to look at us.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pmIApyffS
"So, I was thinking, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lnfDurlYX
since G-Dragon and Zoey start the first verse, they should open up the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpqmD4t1Dt
dance floor. So, I need someone to act as Zoey so that I could show you 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiuVr2EXZX
guys."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YHiJSIqFm
Christine came forward 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBvz1v9Whi
and Mike gave her a few instructions on what to do. She nodded her head 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KOg6CCmyx
and Mike told Daniel to press the play button on cue.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzYZUWjNlZ
With Christine and Mike 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LzV65rLPi
each facing opposite directions with their backs touching, the music 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLIubyriPc
started to play. Still not looking at each other, the two started the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7FxLBtvgJ
dance with each of them taking a step forward, breaking the contact 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A77Q79lw0
between them and then like a powerful force pulling them, they dragged 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3AZL1RmLe
themselves back and they again their backs touched.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnFTD4gvLV
With a bit of skilful 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HErPGMqnP
footwork, they turned to face each other and with their hands, they drew961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLHgSsh6eY
closer and then skidded away from each other with their hands in the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyAVXembT1
air.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzyTkQqBCP
"Then you guys will come in through the middle then make a formation in front."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRgIA19UAA
"That's pretty awesome," said Taeyang.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzuc83qSxX
"Very smart," said G-Dragon.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCgNmrHKNx
"Let's practise that," said Zoey taking G-Dragon's hand and taking him in the middle of the dance floor.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpv7BRKXqf
"I'll take you through the moves," said Mike as he faced them.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGW5zUh3uB
"Your brother is a total genius, isn't he?" TOP asked as he stood next to me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52CiWsSHRQ
"Ya, he is," I said with a smile.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczkG2xrL55
The door soon opened and961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBmvvpPrjz
the person who I guessed was our choreographer walked in. We stopped 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eq7udCEnm
what we were doing and bowed as he came further in the room.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEL5T8lhIn
"So, I see you guys are already getting started," said the choreographer.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9UIFdtr3c
"Yes, we are," said Seungri.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiAS4UkCmu
"Okay, let me see what you have done so far."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2xIAFVV3k
Mike and Christine 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo72MMPJzmF
stepped forward and the music playing on Mikes phone, they did the dance961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7AqAyu5mA
routine. After their hands broke apart, Mike explained how the rest of 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuv2cHrob8
us will come in the scene.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsSY4vJA7R
"Mmmm," the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXXEkIKPiW
choreographer looked on at Mike as he tapped his chin. For a moment I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatPizPYVqs
thought he was going to say something bad, but he didn't.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEDL8MnFUm
"I like it," said the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL1fOxNE6x
choreographer. "So far, the starting part is brilliant. I wouldn't have 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9PrDbiKq1
thought of anything better. Now let's see if Zoey and G-Dragon could 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpCEJon5HG
quickly work on their moves then we will come to the part when everyone 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDgBV8CnVh
comes in."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH19aVWory
Zoey and G-Dragon took 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjWc0olIWo
to the center and with Mike telling and showing them what to do, they 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAukWv8y6J
did so accordingly. After a few tries, they got the hang of it and they 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs2nCREtiF
were perfect.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsUMkOwlL1
"Excellent," said the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C4Foo5YbR
choreographer as he stood in front of us. "Now, when they break apart, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VPRoM9p4g
that's when the rest of you guys come in through the space in between 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6LhOlUDUN
them like a doorway. We will come in a straight line and then make a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBUkW0gfq6
formation in front of them."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq360mjuQ1z
We did as the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zKzAATE3h
choreographer said and the next hour, we were practising our hearts out 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzUN0D91yF
for the music video. We made a few mistakes here and there, but we got 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5zPGwt3J4
the hang of it.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwUz3Pe0Hg
A few minutes later, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9HnEHTL4e
most of us were splayed on the floor after the choreographer announced 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2kMOP7f4l
that we can take a break with some of us with our backs on the floor and961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MNShs85Ax
staring at the ceiling. Others were seated.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q0kBHgl05
"This is why I hate dancing," said TOP, laying opposite me staring at the ceiling.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L7BtXKl1r
I laughed, also staring 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAdCKtIH6Z
at the ceiling. "I love dancing. It just makes you forget about all your961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa159xKChbC
problems for a while. It's kind of like sleeping."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfi6mDLAPm
"Ya, true," said Christine who also had her back on the floor and laid a few feet away from me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiJfxuxkgn
Speaking of problems, I completely forgot about that French guy.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZMhYQqyXY
I quickly scrambled up 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohREtmKeFi
from the floor passing Mike and Taeyang who were seated on the floor and961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l5JOAHnFM
still talking about the dance moves. I went to the corner of the room 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhml0R5PtR
where we had piled up our shoes and phones and my crown. I got my purse 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFLN6nn46W
and removed my phone.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DNQqfjgfH
I sent a message to the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfgealpXJ2
stranger telling him that I had already seen the photo. Thinking that he961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCZvc1kuiS
would reply later on, he repiled in an instant. That was fast. I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNImAFGmEA8
imagined he had been waiting for me to either call or text.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFc1CvinKf
"Good. We should meet."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwUH20bC4G
Was this guy serious right now? I was really busy and meeting him didn't sound like a good idea. I texted back.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMT1pIh48q
"I can't see you today. I'm kind of busy."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacrDwuFe97
"But this is a very important issue, Sam."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DZ42tHqXa
Great. He was calling me by name now? How I wished I knew his.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf5PcIoIyD
I texted, "what happens if I don't meet with you today?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFjihcBZZh
"You're one smart 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzKcj3VeB7
girl. I don't have to explain because you know what will happen when the961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYbTNBeoxM
whole world sees this. It's today or never. And never comes with 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR554EvDNVV
consequences."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovEPAdPKcR
I growled. This guy had put me in a tight corner and I couldn't refuse.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki6sYhh5MZ
"Fine. I'll tell you when to meet when I'm done."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBtqbWrwkB
"That's my girl."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODirf38122
I wanted to throw up. I bet this guy was way older than me and him calling me his girl made me nauseous.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6A3tx2kI1
As I tucked my phone 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkvTPT1dw7
back into my purse, I looked up and everyone was still resting. Luckily 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEM0rSy40n
their eyes weren't on me. I went to lay back down with TOP when I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE40bxWIK0G
realised that Mike and Taeyang weren't the only ones engrossed in their 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzIxRM56fs
own conversation. G-Dragon and Zoey were too.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5c7qLRATy
I looked at them and unlike the others, they were whispering. I wondered what they were talking about in secret.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW6tOhVkOe
When they both turned to961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx6CP4Heem
look at me, they quickly looked away again. My face turned pale. Oh, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DLK3uYz7H
no. Were they talking about me? Their look sent me weird vibes and I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3bxB7Ufck
couldn't help but feel that they were.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvXhGldYFQ
I laid back down 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XHzuqPm5E
pretending that all was alright. I stared up the ceiling as I thought. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWy25F07J5
Could it be that Zoey was telling G-Dragon about the conversation the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEfQRAfLaW
two of us had in our room this morning?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vHENHX1OE
Yikes! If she did, then I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkXwsK9jjs
had just made a bigger mess for myself, again. If I'm right, (hoping 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28DLuX9tUU
that I'm wrong) G-Dragon wouldn't like this at all. We agreed that he 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdK8autpRe
would tell Zoey everything. And just a few hours ago, I had almost told 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcdyWqAloi
her the whole truth. So much for trying to be honest.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZvCHY3JkQ
Still in my own thoughts, the door to the studio opened. Collins, Lee and Yang Hyun-suk came in.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycrODr4wkH
"I see you guys are bummed out," said Collins with a smirk on his face as he looked at each of us.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Dycz3gYba
"Ya, we are," said Seungri, his back also on the floor.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrTPMFBMcR
"Okay, guys, sit up, we have something to tell you," said Yang Hyun-suk.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmxVvGTESf
Most of us who were on lying on the floor sat up and looked on intently at our managers and Lee.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHtolOIVv5
"We came up with where we will be shooting the music video," said Yang Hyun-suk.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TyBaF58Ra
"Where?" Christine and Daesung asked at the same time.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROhb4bAYtz
"Caribbean Bay," answered Collins.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfpoDNaiEz
"Caribbean Bay?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7FW4lp7o0
"It's not the only place we would be shooting the video," said Lee, tilting her head at me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmXNyhXKPa
"But it would be more likely that we would shoot it at Caribbean Bay?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7A8zYqWZ2
"That's right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Do you think it's a bad idea?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8bMIqClVo
"No. It sounds great."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs22lT4nHJ1
"Well, the song is based on fun," said Zoey. "And we did have fun there."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ20QNUdT32
"Well, not for some of us who ended up playing cop," I said, replaying in my mind what a hectic time I had that day.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwTxdZtms9
"Haha, that was fun," said Daniel, staring off into space with a smile.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs7CnJHOsM
"So, you finish up the choreography today and then we can start shooting the video on Monday."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UgY6mhICc
"But can't we meet tomorrow?" I asked. "You know, to perfect the dance and all?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7mafsaxXw
"I don't think people will like to meet on a Sunday," said Collins.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAw27Lzgo4
"True," said Taeyang.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGbkDSW5eJ
"Okay," I said, feeling a961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyKcaUzmrs
little disappointed. That meant we had to finish up and perfect the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDLpAccGfo
dance routine today. And I don't know what time we will be done.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWhwtY0Rf6
"Okay, we'll leave you guys," said Yang Hyun-suk.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnFXf5xr2C
After the three had 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8On7MLbKV
left, we went back to what we were doing, waiting for the choreographer 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCyKCInNLA
to show up because he was coming in with some backup dancers.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCVUR3o5vt
While we waited, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVTnT6llnN
G-Dragon came over to me, his head hovered over my sight as I still laid961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5utXK2MzBF
down on the floor. I looked up at this face and couldn't make up the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkyS6eMzyu
expression on his face.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMvDSuAmBb
"Sam, we need to talk," he said, as he looked down on me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1udhe8xCsx
He sounded serious and I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrH861LDZ2
couldn't say no. I tried not to show that I was scared but I could feel961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjBvOvahl7
my body tremble. All I did was nod my head.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsEQj83kVf
"Let's talk outside," he said and he went ahead of me out of the room.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ecRoqEGks
I got up from the floor 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshuhud0aXg
and I realised that everyone was looking at me now, obviously wondering 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wmg5eJmuC
what was going on. I ignored them and none of them asked anything as I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpRcdmC7dc
stood up from the floor and walked out of the room.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4wQgheYKm
I found G-Dragon three 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkStK2Zzfb
doors down the hall, obviously trying to avoid anyone from listening to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatM4e5kMPU
our conversation. I quickly walked up to him with his back facing me. I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduDuOF4Ql8
stopped a few feet away from him taking extra precaution not to be too 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsPyg8fS4Q
close.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44SribL1oi
"I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kmpFX4Zji
G-Dragon turned to look at me and I could see he was upset. It was good that I wasn't that close to him in the first place.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiZcdo9fEB
"It's about Zoey," he said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrjQijQQSk
I gulped. "Zoey must have told you what happened this morning, didn't she?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqtM2pK7am
"She did," he said as he nodded his head. "What's up with you lately? Didn't we agree that I would tell her everything?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSExIdLryj
"Sorry, I just.... I couldn't keep lying anymore."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrk4BzsJTB
"Really? That's all you can say?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbutaVSIrnS
"Well, it's the truth. And besides, I never told her that you liked me, because I couldn't bring myself to."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS4ksBxjmy
"But you almost had."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStNg8walwQ
"Yet I couldn't."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUK9xJbQrL
"Zoey is right. You're 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5P55xyYEb
been acting really weird today. Weird enough to tell her the truth when 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtzjtNTUhK
you know I was supposed to do it."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvREfmr6o0T
"Well, you were taking too much time and I couldn't help myself seeing the way how angry you were yesterday and now."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT95zlQDnL
"And so telling the truth would help solve my anger issue? Or are you jealous of Zoey because she is happy with me?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjfSBchwMG
I paused before I could say, "what?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGwPOLykGM
"You heard me loud and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtfs9tNWQA
clear, Sam. As though kissing Daesung wasn't enough, you're now trying 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6foG3DXwAj
to take matters into your own hands."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFkAbkMxo8
Oh no. He knew Daesung and I kissed. I wonder how he found out because I didn't tell anyone about it. Not even Zoey.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6idXyGRHnM
"Wait, that's not true," I said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyYVcluSgP
"Which one? You kissing Daesung or taking matters into your hands?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtKYR8EkX9
I now realised that I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nc8uP4690
was stuck. This time I couldn't tell if he was sure that I had kissed 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcpZFT3NJA
Daesung or he was trying to test me to see what I would say to prove his961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiZX3Lbej5
assumption right. But there was no point in hiding now. The truth was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2oS2wiQEP
bound to come up sooner rather than later.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf25V3xPt0V
"Aren't you going to answer? Which one of the two?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTfzDDbhXU
I sighed. "You're being ridiculous, GD."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP4JdHM3JM
"But I'm not and you know it." He took a step closer. "Now answer the question. Which one?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8yLz9xKqC
"If you want to hear it, then fine. I did kiss Daesung but it's not what you think."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkQFbJFYEP
G-Dragon took a step 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aODXErMTJ
back. "I knew it. You tell me you want nothing to do with me and then 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeGBN36zEC
you kiss my best friend who is like a brother to me!"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqo0wbDXxS
"You wanted the truth, didn't you? You got one! But backstabbing you wasn't what happened."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL6rtRnn6T
"Then what did happen?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNwBl4HOxo
"All of this is nothing 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtqKYI9Hcp
but a misunderstanding. I never went back on my word. Things just 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucQ8wpGSzM
happened that I myself couldn't control."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxuPFKouLi
"Don't lie to me, Sam."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5rXccZmQA
"You know what, I'm 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK5mVZ6rEQ
trying my best here to try and tell you the truth but you're acting like961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDPpSxt3Iw
a deaf person blocking my words out. I knew from the very beginning 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzJegVn971
that I could never be with you nor with Daesung and I have accepted it. I961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm7s3QrS2V
talked about that with him yesterday. That's why he kissed me."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQtXIinkpo
G-Dragon shook his head. "So you're saying that he kissed you and not that you kissed him?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCruPWRtyt
"Yes. But I know you 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwqLIjawHc
won't believe me. Unlike you, at least Daesung realised and accepted it 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z4KURP3Bs
for himself that he and I could never be together."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Jh6OmgnR
I looked at G-Dragon and I knew I hit the spot. I just hope that what I said would make him understand.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2WXuz2hwI
"The sooner you accept all this, the better it would be for all of us," I said.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOE1LdvrEt
I turned around to head 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgoQQ0GAGu
back for the studio. As I walked away, I realised that I wasn't upset or961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiz7rqC3xX
angry. I was frustrated and my problems were far from over.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlrphpslIq
When I came back in the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FX7v8qjUR
studio, all eyes were on me as soon as I walked in. I could tell on 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xi5buSQhJ
their faces that they had heard the entire conversation.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOxdGqq9x2
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHLRMcvEuQ
I didn't want to beat around the brush. "No. I'm not."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDsDp9ZfHr
I came in further into the room and sat down on the floor, not looking at the others.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavtBiKiT3h
"You and G-Dragon were arguing," said Zoey as she came to sit down beside me. "Would like to talk about it?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRKHfFCPil
I looked at Zoey. "I'm certainly not the one to tell you what's going on."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez8aFT50dL
I went back to looking at the floor. My chin rested on my knees and I hugged myself, lost in thought.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs17XsfDLu
I heard the door open 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMoet6lDie
behind me and I knew G-Dragon had come into the room. At the corner of 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFdH5SJqtA
my eye, I could see Zoey turn towards the door.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoHJvS8T9H
"Care to explain to us what's going on?" Mike asked G-Dragon. "You two argued and we could hear you guys down the hall."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOPt1kH9vm
"It's nothing," I heard G-Dragon say.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDUcHTo1uL
"It's nothing? Looking at both of your faces, something did happen," said TOP.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx56RyQ6SA
"Look guys," I said as 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtFxbe2F1k
quickly stood up from the floor and turned to face them. "Tell me if I'm961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7oTJuLdDP
wrong, but you guys heard the entire conversation, right?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc5wIMjjyy
No one said anything and they had guilty looks on their faces. That settled it.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByXUXj0DAY
"I'm sorry you had to hear all that," I said as I scratched my head. "We shouldn't have been so loud."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD03Syj6Hwr
"Why didn't you two tell us all this before?" Seungri asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMpZ9ZN1Te
I didn't say anything 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQgGOAUO3N
and neither did G-Dragon. We looked at each other and then at the others961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoJjlIwjNS
who were waiting for either of us to say something.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfQ8ck1Pcg
Before anyone could 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISfFxyzWuL
break the silence, the door to the studio opened and the choreographer 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIVmaUDhER
came in with some backup dancers and pretending like nothing happened, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmGXUqrAPb
we went back to practising.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaP1ejLH9e
I don't know how I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W2T5HCPGs
managed to go through the entire dance session without making a mistake.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTJsbXTkaB
Not after what happened some minutes ago. Now that everyone knows 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcMuGTuHCP
what's been going on between G-Dragon and I, it was supposed to affect 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hYp9Gm710
me in some way but it didn't. I felt bad, but right now I had to keep my961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfb2KXZlTO
head in the real world and not mess things up.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wfl8FXDI1
It was lunch time and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tWMrlA5c0
again we took a break. We were almost done with the dance routine but I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB669U5x4rK
was so tired, I wondered if I would be able to meet up with the unknown 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnerLwuacIn
stranger.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8T2zSK0M9
Now that we were on a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSlFknBKBM
break, no one said anything to each other even after the choreographer 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wISMiQYFQ
left with the backup dancers. As much as I would have loved to say 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOP2IVAVtE
something to the others concerning the argument, I couldn't. It was just961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqHogDPxEO
too awkward for me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1TbGRM961
Zoey cleared her throat first. "Mmmm, so are we going to talk about this or are we going to have lunch?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHYWqWRrCU
I looked at Zoey. "You and G-Dragon have a lot to talk about." I then turned to face G-Dragon.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Z5rMJSKq
"Sam's right, Zoey," said G-Dragon.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP753O0tvC
Zoey looked a little downcast as though she knew to expect the worst.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5SHRKGLZG
"Well, you guys can talk if you want," said Seungri, "but I'm hungry."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK94QYqkfK
"Ya, me too," said Daniel.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ6SmkKcyn
"We can order a pizza," said Christine.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXkr5ZxMCp
"Good idea," said Taeyang.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mOZGMTKUE
As though they couldn't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xy7y5ZEiE
stay in the room any longer, the others walked out, leaving Zoey, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnpNmAnwqP
G-Dragon and I in the room. I couldn't blame them. There was too much 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmLfitmSU3
tension going on and I couldn't help to think it was entirely my fault.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KUAs8FC7k
A few seconds later, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOo15r5smv
when I knew that the others had gone, I also left the room with my purse961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezHMH9PSU5
and crown without saying a word. Zoey and G-Dragon had a lot of talking961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwqkU3SuaN
to do and I would come back for that later. And while the others had 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QvrdPQO4w
plans for lunch, I had other plans of my own.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM1c1fIwUG
As I walked down the empty hall, I called Lee and she picked up immediately.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms1HHtJhGF
"Hey, Sam, why are you calling?" Lee asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAIaTsF0uX
"A lot has happened 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCpI5uytKL
today that I need to tell you, Lee," I said, keeping my voice down in 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68rGGzO2QB
case there were any people snooping around.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZWzGdvvMM
"What? What's happened?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqewvnIfJF
"Everyone now knows the truth about G-Dragon and I. They heard us arguing."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45obpnNh4m
I could hear Lee gasp and I pictured her ready to drop and faint. "For real? Oh, gosh, this is bad."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbZMdhMXIP
"That's not the worst 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3bk4gjylX
part," I said as I found myself at the end of the hall going down a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3eEx8Ikkg
flight of stairs. "A weird guy called me today and I need to meet him."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbyPH4fEJV
"Huh? What for? Who is this guy?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYwYbOBPmY
"Like I said, he is 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JyTfRzD3S
weird. Something bad came up and if I don't meet him soon, a lot of us 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE09CUqzp7
are going to be toast especially with the press."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImKHosWid9
"Is he blackmailing you or something?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZReRkVdqmN
"I'm not sure if I can 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWLmzeRzEb
call it that. But if I'm affected too, then it kind of looks that way. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSkXEemwZa
Do me a favour and meet me at the back of the building."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cuxDcy6mr
Lee paused. "Why? You aren't going to meet him, are you?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKICNpkw5n
"I've no choice and I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R5THMvLJl
would better do it now because we are going to be here for a while until961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNQ7V2ZGk3
we are done with the dance routine. Bring me a pair of sunglasses, a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8pHjTRKv2
cap and a scarf."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrl5Mnu6hQ
"What will you need that for?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlleJs2m57
"Trust me," I said as stopped on the stairs. I wasn't too sure which floor I was on at the moment.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BrlnElBP1
"Okay, fine. I'll see where I can get those."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCrbQCb07P
"Thanks, Lee. Don't tell anyone."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86KgR5JPiW
I cut the call and this 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4sc7CKEJu
time, I ran down the stairs with a new found energy. I was tired from 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv6jrHi75T
all the dancing but I had some reasonable ounce of energy left in me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuIckqEend
I reached the bottom of 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNYayagllh
the steps. I had reached the ground floor. There was a passage behind 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeWAE1VR2v
the stairs which lead to a door. The back door, I presume. And in front 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb0HvDPS9Y
of me was a short passage which lead to the lobby. I could hear a few 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7hazDnoqg
voices that I could recognise.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09OMdMojIK
I went over to look, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJQ0nQIH09
making sure I had my back against the wall. I took a peek and I saw The 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxgMO7Ikgh
Toxins and BigBang in the lobby heading out. They were going out for 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUdSsKdkTx
lunch instead of ordering it from here. Before I could turn around and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKz5hROdYx
head for the back door, I ended up hearing their conversation.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0JS3oMePz
"I wish Sam could have told me what was going on," said Christine.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtcAHly8V6
"How could we have known?" Daesung asked. "Sam and I just talked about it yesterday, but she never mentioned G-Dragon."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYvMGIVXJl
"I'm just surprised that961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8hPU4U3ZH
you kissed my sister," said Mike. For some reason, I was surprised that961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaCQ3R1HJo
he wasn't upset like I thought he would.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQDn1lme0b
"Well, whatever she did that for," said Taeyang, "she will tell us eventually."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwa3DhLMPG
"Should we go back for her and see if she would come with us for lunch?" TOP asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRNk6h9l2P
"No, I bet she wants to be alone for a while," said Seungri.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2f7xs0VXa
"I think so too," said 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ3VnqhzK9
Daniel. "But just in case, we would order her and the others a takeout. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSN9JjHh8w
Sometimes Sam would starve herself without even realising it."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl91FUrMz4
The next thing I knew, their voices became distant. I peeked again and I saw that they had already walked out of the lobby.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjcRQohrEk
I was expecting them to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTQQZbCNGD
be mad and all, but they didn't seem like they were. Maybe they were 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3fY94qr8f
just hiding it and they would throw all of their anger on me later on. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI2nttwLjm
Who knows?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2dtF86ii3
Throwing that thought 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFU1VlSKoo
out of my head, I quickly went back down the hall, heading for the back 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3k8HhUPHT
door. I hope it wasn't locked. I swung the door and it opened. Lucky me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0gCvM4IKw
Now I had to wait for Lee to show up.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiHYxo13fk
There were still more 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT1ACxnVcn
vehicles parked at the back of the building. Some of which were delivery961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOslDIfZfq
trucks. I waited for Lee on the slab with my back leaning against the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsReI02d27
wall. I could hear the sound of the vehicle's engine coming from the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWaNGtayuL
front and I knew the others were leaving until I heard the noise fade 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8FnbDVfoG
away.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAHfvOVggB
In what seemed like 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI3SDg6h4i
forever, Lee appeared around the corner of the building with her 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRot2Q1htd4
handbag. When she spotted me, she quickened her steps.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpxAxFWjnx
"It's about time," I said with my arms folded.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b4LcW9Kvv
"Don't act all grumpy on me," said Lee. "So as to let you know, finding what you wanted wasn't all that easy."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt9piNCWHw
"Okay, thanks," I said as Lee gave me her bag and I gave her my crown and purse to hold. "Hold this."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKjn1GUhCm
"Oh, wow!" Lee marvelled as she looked at my crown. "Who gave this to you?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujqKouPLMe
"Seungri," I answered as I rummaged through the bag to get the items out.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3FMDPjGr4
"This is so pretty. These diamonds look so real."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz2nSPpuDs
"They are," I said as I put the blue baseball cap on.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41LtduFHEh
"So sweet of him to do this," said Lee. She looked at me. "Are they all still inside?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQarqJAi1u
"They have gone out for 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzVqhd8Nnd
lunch. But Zoey and G-Dragon are talking in the studio. Hopefully things961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJPBjZJ2uz
will work out okay. Though I highly doubt it will."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JpyhdovzM
"Things are really bad, huh?" Lee asked with a sad expression on her face.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoownaeIqR
"Ya. And they are about 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5DTIB7C6U
to get a whole lot worse. Wish me luck." I put on the sunglasses and the961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpiklphGGY
light scarf around my neck. Lee gave me back my purse.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIiBZ18BHc
"Okay. Tell me how everything goes," said Lee. "Want me to escort you out of the gate?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlmWbTsvYf
"Ya, that will be a good961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhTYtXD1VL
idea," I said. "Leaving me alone would be dangerous and who knows what 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmQl2VSPvg
the guards might think when they see me."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3NtjlzA6U
Lee and I started to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpTGoPLtC8
walk and we turned around the corner finding ourselves back at the front961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9GfkBSdPY
parking lot. As we were heading towards the gate, Lee started some 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTlUsjxbzQ
random conversation and I played along making sure not to look 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXan47DDHey
suspicious in front of the guards who didn't seem to be paying much 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgGRpJjcP7
attention. I made sure that they didn't notice my face.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzSY5oJ2k3
When I finally managed 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwJHfXz7Ek
to get out of the gate, Lee wished me luck. I nodded my head and walked 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0sTNmfKhg
away from the YG gate and down the street.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DxVJucZ1p
I had to admit, I was so961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3rOKoLbiS
scared. For one reason, I had no idea where I was going since I hadn't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWuoPN7wmW
fully known the place and this was the first time I had to walk around 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U19pimbnp
in the streets by myself. Going around alone was too dangerous for me 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThgL4kscMz
and I was crazy to think I would manage on my own.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsrAOQHP3U
After walking a few 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kXTZJpaGf
blocks away from YG, I reached the crosswords and I stopped at the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrH2sqHObh
traffic walking sign. I looked around and so far, no one had recognised 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZV9IoYd5f
me under my little disguise. When the robot indicated 'walk' I crossed 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5krczbXk5b
the road with a few people and got to the other side of the street.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEENlnXjEux
As I walked, passing a shoe shop, I took my phone out from my purse and called the unknown man.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xObDTvPch
"Ah, you finally called," said the stranger who had answered after the first ring. "I've been waiting."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE8rHkuk48
"Ya, I figured," I said, looking around hoping that no one noticed me but the cap hid my face961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWAd4Zcb90
pretty well. "I've no idea where to meet you and I'm not so familiar with the place."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9PrN8I1rh
"Not to worry, dear. I already see you. Nice disguise by the way. I can hardly tell it is you under that baseball cap."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblx7AtAvhF
I froze as I soon looked961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMd58wLoDW
left and right and across the street hoping to see him. But I couldn't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwiMqYZsDA
spot out any French native among the midst of Koreans. Feeling a little 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E2h0uQuJk
out of place, I figured I might just be the odd one around here too.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSFyYh8PLK
I heard him laugh 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVOrSoheyE
through the phone and I could tell he was making fun of me. "Not to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ50SPMLzmM
worry, Sam. Be careful or you might just blow your cover."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwulfCj2vQP
I gritted my teeth. "Just show yourself. Where are you?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0XfBsOUiO
"I'm right here."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr20HYe64x7
"Right where?" I looked around and still nothing. People walked past me and I got frustrated. "Don't try play games with-"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61mxC1hbV2
My sentence was cut 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRjcrFsoPt
short when down the road, a fancy black shiny Bugatti parked at the edge961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC5sGpFoSO
of the concrete slab right in front of me. I looked on with my mouth 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w9MBGpzMW
agape. I have always admired fancy cars but this was one hell of a ride.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SqoPY9Buo
A smartly dressed 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN4LhzDUzv
looking chauffeur came out of the driver's seat and came to my side. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HPNdksOec
With his white gloved hand, he opened the door to the passenger's seat.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gU9ZkZhtr
"You may go in, mademoiselle," said the driver in deep French accent, as he bowed.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQUD56vXXd
At first I was dumbfounded and I didn't know whether to run and head back to YG, or just go in and get this over with.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO8BZRPgqa
A few heads turned my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhySbjIuJTM
way and I could only imagine what people must think of a Bugatti and a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBiKo5YZo5
smartly dressed chauffeur waiting for me to go in. Strange, I suppose 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wUikpclt6
and a little suspicious too.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsotn8S60g5
I managed to awake from 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dONgXQttG
my slumber and got in the car before people fully start to look at me 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jPKBhDfLs
and figure out who I was. As I got in, a nice car smell wafted in the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iblV1a4UT
air and into my nostrils. The chauffeur closed the door and went to the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuMsfcaoE5
driver's seat.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCub8d0xK2T
"Samantha Glasson, nice to finally meet you at last," came a deep voice.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3LxxYg88O
With my eyes, I looked 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kJ9xvPXNJ
at the person sitting right beside me in the passenger's seat. For a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHpFhxSyc1
moment, I was scared. But when I looked at the man fully, my face fell.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovPctSKv2j
He looked to be in the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy17Uvul2ge
same age group as me but maybe two years older. I guessed in my head 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBckq659HqK
that he must be 24 or 25. He had gorgeous blue eyes like the colour of 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHe2AvusAe
the sea and brown short curly hair. His dashing lips were lifted up into961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3fnhu8VIk
a smile and under that navy blue suit of his, I could tell he was one 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdVqqfEC7Y
who had one heck of a body.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGJkLMUDEB
I hadn't said a word and961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn0ZR6ViSf
the car started to drive down the road when the young man offered his 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRrjeDhE8p
open hand. I stared at it and noticed a shiny gold Rolex on his left 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBcoBOjSb9
wrist. Who was this guy?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfvIlkCN6P
"Aren't we going to shake hands?" he asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuruMbkZ7cf
I opened my mouth but 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqccMobUSDC
then closed it again knowing that it was pointless to argue. I took his 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo7V3cfLCG
hand and shook it, scared that I might receive a shocking zap from the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1zn9mLA5j
contact.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIsit3N5zk
"And you must be the guy I was talking to over the phone?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9klV471oz0
"Yes, a pleasure to meet961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLmYHicXRv
your acquaintance." He lightly pressed his lips on the back of my palm 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwjm5D6PFc
and I blushed as I slowly withdrew my hand.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnkmOrD8g9
"I'm sorry we had to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvGmWhAroI
meet under such awkward circumstances," he said as he leaned back in the961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVey4MvW0r
fancy leathered seats. "But I needed to talk to you, and fast."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3tmnrsGnY
I looked at him and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBN6WtVE2s
realised that all his was just too surreal. This wasn't what I was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wftXQptyt
expecting. I was expecting a man much older than me and rafia looking. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvGnTIPiHN
This guy right beside me looked like one of those handsome Greek gods we961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx6Od1zYcq
hear about in mythical tales.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJkuEWki0t
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked with the corner of his lips raised up to a smile.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0ch5YAiIK
"I...uh." Yikes! I was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5lYtVfKXS
caught looking at him. I blushed and turned to face the window beside 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu3dcfGzIT
me. "Nothing. This wasn't what I was expecting."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20q7Ad52Sz
There was silence and I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcsvGyuTrT
didn't want to look at him. He was obviously looking at me and that made961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLN4NcP8Xz
me play around with my fingers because I was nervous. Then I realised 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTBrre5cRo
something.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdZ3LxKRDX
"You never told me your name," I said as I looked at him. Dang it! I wasn't supposed to look at him.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUZscGb0ZQ
"Oh, silly me. Where are my manners? I'm Derrick."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQVWNjvdi1
"That's a weird name, given that you're French."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsLTmy3Ebn
"I was born in the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBsjhqifpe
States and my parents preferred giving me this name even though they are961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgXrytPQTt
both French. I grew up in France almost my whole life and my parents 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4iQ1aofvp
are people who like to travel a lot for business. Building their 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTjnfDHrg7
business empire is what's so important to them."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nUUQqYwhV
"I can clearly see that," I said as I wondrously looked around in the car.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTvG60vorb
My expression might have amused him because he chuckled. I blushed as I pushed my glasses further up my nose and folded my arms.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21nEcA97IV
"This is going to be fun," he said to himself.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvrZJBEIBo
I changed the topic. "About the photo, why did you want to see me?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4QwQ5gLYq
"Can we talk about this over lunch?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM7YH9MeZY
"Lunch?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYuAv02TJL
"Yes, lunch."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIo1Lcecwp
A moment ago, I wasn't in the mood for lunch. But now that he mentioned it, I was starving.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOK4fb5HOK
"Lunch sounds good. But not in the open. I don't want to grab any attention."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0Hd7dzqhf
"Of course. I figured you would want that. Given that no one knows where you are anyway."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQn66QQuNY
I raised an eyebrow at 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6DE5PohEA
him. "You've been following me the whole time, haven't you? That's how 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pLV1QrtNZ
you have been able to find me on the street."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS6vmGktxF
He gave me that dashing 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SbVqfjTLC
smile of his. "Of course. I just had to. I knew sooner or later that we 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxDltqtsot
would meet. I had to come prepared."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulKHEpweL2
"That's sounds creepy if you ask me," I said as looked out the window. "So, where are we going?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94uSScA9yI
"My apartment. It's much safer there."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhdDYELxlJ
"You own an apartment?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWV7Bmon5j
"Like I said, my parents travel around for world and South Korea, is one of their favourite spots."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNkiJzjWUq
"So, it's their apartment then and not yours."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFa5MBlIfX
"They have their own apartment and I have mine."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEgYPd24yh
"Oh." I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVx0K2p4kh
"Here we are now," said Derrick as he looked out of the car window on his side and followed suit.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLv5MNiBA7
It was a huge apartment 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmifO57xFQB
building kind of like the ones famous people live in. The car took a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnsUQ7Qebr
turn and went down the road to an underground parking lot.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18OnYYbsPJ
After the car parked, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKj51uuiDL
the chauffeur quickly came out and opened the car door on Derrick's 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ggGIjTqVS
side. Derrick came out and I followed. Before I could step out of the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IjfCECVwi
car, Derrick held out his hand to help me out. I took his hand and I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjbDmCkK4W
came out of the car.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc41I91QYq
Derrick lead the way, 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz90BLf1ow
still holding my hand, to the elevator and the chauffeur stayed behind 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhkQvAfSOk
with the car as he watched us go. I couldn't help but feel that the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiprZ7CuxP
chauffeur had been smiling at us from the time we got out of the car.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphlTHgFIbO
Derrick pressed the elevator button and when they drew open, we stepped in at the same time.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvd5p4JSavR
When the door closed, I withdrew my hand from his. He pressed the button to his floor and I felt the elevator move.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDy8knFjf6
"So, about that photo, I need to know what's going on," I said as stared at the floor.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttlHeKhrcz
"What do you want to know?" Derrick asked. I could feel his eyes on me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVoNyy1jN5
"Everything," I said as I looked at him. "But one thing I don't get is why you're involving me in all this."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMU9DQDhhg
"But don't you want to know what's going on?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp77CNFgZcs
"Well, ya, I do! You're 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4POWM54S8
the one who sent me the photo so I'm curious. Do you know what? It was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP243fRaDFi
best you didn't send it to me in the first place."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdpqTuinQe
"Why?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f9rWmu6kc
"Maybe then I wouldn't be here."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpKQnoS4vj
The elevator doors flew 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqBA03T8eY
open and in front of me was a lavishly looking hall. The white painted 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nwTLwV67z
hall and the bright lighting above made the hall look angelic that if 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ynU4QlQD4
you were to see it for yourself, you would think you had just stepped 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizzpsN5Pv6
into heaven.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVplQMeGgWQ
I stepped out of the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0y8WnskBV
elevator and beautiful paintings lined up the walls. I noticed that the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjeLLLrDi1
doors leading to other people's apartments were white doors with fancy 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkbq4KkIVF
looking gold plated handles. The floor of the hall was covered with a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcvHENZ4Nf
soft red carpet.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFAri6t9qa
"This place looks nice," I said as I walked down the hall.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1DPSfgcHr
"I know," said Derrick as he came up behind me. "My apartment is the door at the end of the hall."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jkaFHV5Yc
I looked down the hall 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfluoWTsZxp
and there stood two huge white doors. I walked up to it and just as I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrk8zmYryn
was about to turn and look at Derrick, the right door flew open and in 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzc8uNco0R
front of me stood a smartly dressed butler. It's like he knew I was 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDY4svpIar
coming.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtBHnaHh7C
"Welcome, mademoiselle," said the butler as he stepped aside and and with his hand, he gestured to come in.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf8YN3Pdfp
For a moment, I hesitated. Until I felt Derrick behind me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEsXl8oVtD
"Ladies first," said Derrick.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFVKAezGvf
I gulped and took a step into his apartment.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFnBwEe63f
"This place is very 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ioNeNMXvz
nice," I said when I looked around the foyer and I when turned round the961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ystXELdm4
corner, there was lavishly looking sitting room with creamed coloured 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5mlCuictZ
sofas with a glass coffee table and I huge smart screen TV pinned on the961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqawOBmkVmv
wall.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRa8ElXTl2
I looked to the other 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmATSrTf3ef
side and there was a fancy looking table with a beautuful chandelier 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1q7824wbS
above it. Beautiful artistic pictures filled the place and there were 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUZacbgc4g
beautiful flower vases with orchids.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs16e1sjJio
"I see you like 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmaD5ilxim
orchids," I said as I went over to the flower vase close to the sitting 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmYAg6A5Ju
area and looked at the orchids. They were fresh and lovely.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqRKdGBp04
"I know you like roses," said Derrick as he stared at me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg90g8qqyvj
"Almost everything that celebrities like and don't like are always found on the internet." I rolled my eyes at him.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PmfPZ0X35
"True, but I can tell what a woman likes and doesn't."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspgupK4guO
I gave him a smile that showed how impressed I was.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT45WyVpztl
"Lunch is ready, sir," said the butler. "Should I serve the food?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAtUQqvwpI
"Yes, please," sad Derrick.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiUtiWyM82
The butler bowed and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sovSAYF00
left for the kitchen. I continued to look around and I went over by the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3goWmPnSD
windows to look down at the city below. We were so high above the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAGYUj7JCn
ground.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVViKsyB4x
"Is it just me or are we on the last floor of this building?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGjeeaeOn0
"We are," said Derrick who came to join me by the window. "This place is lovely, isn't it?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSbLTbRLbM
"Ya, it surly is." I knew he meant Seoul.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19mJvyVdlb
"Food is ready, Master Derrick," came the butler behind us.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcjudZdCPz
"Shall we?" Derrick gestured his hand towards the dining table and I walked up to it with him following behind me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVoLp9VT5R
As we got to the dining 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVvDNeoiEZ
table, Derrick pushed back a chair for me and I took my seat, removing 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4OGg4DGmx
my glasses and cap putting the glasses in my purse. I said thank you and961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ8LougINH
he sat at the head of the table right next to mine.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnagOL6gbl
The butler had served 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW1EFSjrOY
our plates on the table and just by looking at the cutlery and napkins 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlJjIzcwen
laid and folded neatly I couldn't help but feel I was in some kind of 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d1uBRLQ7C
fancy fairytale. The table was set to perfection and the wine glasses 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbnI8qyryz
next to the plates were spotless.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdM2XNdMpe
Dishes of food were 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj6hifE2u9
lined in the middle of the table and my mouth couldn't help but water. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjIBmZzkRz
If I wasn't in such an elegant apartment, I would have just dug in and 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsD38vbwvT
started to eat. I was really hungry. But for now, I had to act like a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePbZCAkRfn
lady.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLXueEk53b
The butler helped to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDleTxHhHl3
serve the food and I didn't hesitate eating right there and then. I made961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6w4AfYf3J
sure not to eat too much and take my time.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwNC2jxbk2
"This was really good," I said, after I was done with my food.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv15DOww7r
"France's finest traditional dishes," said Derrick with a smile.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDJTOWn36k
"Now, about the issue at961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3eDY4Y4u3
hand," I said, wiping the corner of my mouth with a napkin as the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcZ2j3JIDd
butler came to take away my plate and also Derrick's.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ5J77pHL3
"Let's talk then," said Derrick.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz89ebTbHj
"First of all, I need to know why you sent it to me."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF5cvsdYDt
"Because as much as you don't want to get involved, it concerns you more than you can ever imagine."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVMwwdY5Ty
I shook my head as I got my purse and removed my phone. I went to the gallery and checked out the photo.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrweQr5LQTX
"How does this have to do with me?" I asked as I showed him the photo.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD0TDF1Mxj
The photo showed Zoey in961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSk6zdxlWC
a some place that looked like a garden or a park and in front of her 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkVngUZRQZ
stood a man I couldn't recognise. His face was hidden because his back 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2kcn87AQW
faced the camera and whoever had taken the photo, took it behind some 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16HmPC9sEt
bushes so it was hard to make out who he was. But there was something 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdchHokZfoB
completely odd about what I saw in the photo.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldhGbOWMo4
"I know this isn't 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAeTcQ7sEd
really supposed to concern me," I said as Derrick looked at the photo 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9rG55ZFkB
and then back at me. "Who was Zoey with?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvxyJEndns
"That's my brother," Derrick answered.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubOPpchSq2
Now that was a surprise. Derrick had a brother?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ093aiqTPO5
"Wait? Brother?" I raised an eyebrow.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKnfj4p80W
"Sadly, yes," said Derrick clearing his throat.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKrBW3m7Cz
I looked at the photo 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtO3ApLYvl
again. "So, you're saying that, this happened the time Zoey went to 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0U4IO0Kyd
Paris with G-Dragon and the others? And this person in the photo is your961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgmSdjNr4A
brother?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJBqRMMjdu
I still couldn't believe it when Derrick nodded his head at me.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpiIyICAeP
"You never told me you had a brother," I said, looking at Derrick.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fuz4IqH36
"We don't really get along," said Derrick.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNRCszKPls
"That figures," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Why?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpoxYaHprm
"We have been different from each other since we were kids. You can't even tell that he and I are brothers."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS70WY1mric
"So, what's do you think he wants with Zoey?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0yU4ekQtb
"I have no idea but I know it's something serious."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNqJyfpVoF
"So, you're just assuming all this or what?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUpkIRiPxd
"I know my brother very 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxEHsPqbhA
well. I know something is going on between the two of them. I had my 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRr6ugN1Xm
suspicions during the Chanel fashion show."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlrdAhuW62
I then remembered the 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCs2b26hvc
time Zoey came back to Korea the following day after the fashion show. 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxoh6ATYYr
She was acting all weird and the way she had hugged me surprised me a 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVxNh4xUzT
little. And so did the others. Were these guys really in trouble?961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWQ696B4sF
"Are my brothers and Christine involved in this too?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMz9LYNYgi
"I can't be too sure. You have to ask them."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrikqGOoKK
"But that's strange. If 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T8kJUgZwQ
it's something so serious as you put it, they would have told me. I 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaavjfFrSo
don't see the reason why they would hide."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQcZ4DyvAk
"If it's anything concerning my brother, I suggest you find out what's going on and fast. I don't like it."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUOXBmlapy
"But what if all this isn't that serious? In fact, what makes you think your brother is that dangerous enough to hurt us?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasntvrJH2U
Derrick leaned back on his chair as he looked at me and I waited for him to answer.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFliihbqrr
"My brother isn't one person to mess around with. He is one person who threatens when things don't go his way."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO1whzANR2
"You think he is threatening Zoey?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pjjvUlbN4
"He did visit Zoey in that café, didn't he?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWQUNa4V60
"Wait! That was him?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQayQx2NT1
"Yes. I was there."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6nu5mGWVa
"You were there too?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLy7hT87I7
"Yes. That's when I thought you should help me out with this."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv9h0wYjCS
"But what if I can't?" I folded my arms961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9wJv4hg0d
"Zoey is your best friend, isn't she?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VHmwd3XuH
"She is."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8nErYSD8O
"And wouldn't you like to help her out?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72JKrBo9pu
I was frustrated with the questions. "I would. But if she didn't tell me, then maybe it's not that serious."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67Ca804mlr
"And do you really think she would?"961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHHpG5vMz4
I thought about his 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwQh9sjBCg
question for a moment. He was right. Some people wouldn't tell the truth961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAkB97Ggpn
just to prevent the ones they love from getting hurt. Maybe that's what961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhisctvLsaI
Zoey did and I was too silly not to have realised it sooner.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy1bkCGvC8
"You're right," I said as I looked at my hands on my lap. She wasn't the only one who kept secrets.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqvM3eSAXV
"Have you tried talking to your brother about this?" I asked.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSkTJ80fPr
"No. He doesn't know that I'm onto him. And knowing how he is, he isn't going to tell me anything."961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmf6tkQojn
I tapped my fingers on the table and I took the glass of water that was next to me and I drank.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbQ9bmyGYc
I had to think of something fast and I was running out of time. I had to get back to the studio within thirty minutes.961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1xkfWrwD8
"Before I go, tell me 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1gTJHDZJT
all you know about what happened in Paris," I said as I looked at 961Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvjuCwV3fi
Derrick, giving him the eye. "And don't leave anything out."
