Have you ever been awake968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD5EBglG6l
for so long in your bed with no thought or sign of sleep and your heart968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQwEw6NgkF
isn't at peace because you're afraid of what's going to happen as the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwfdIkga57
day goes on?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7uzlkQaEE
That's how I felt right at this moment.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9oxD47QtJ
I tossed in my bed, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGDCoj6FNe
turning to the side and looking towards the curtain. There was still no 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf7OGcKV8H
sign of the sun coming up and I was getting frustrated. I wished the sun968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTwjCVvHJJ
could come up so that I could meet my end already.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZugANHDOx
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.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gekF6v0lz
I fell back on my bed, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPePyVMIUZw
the back of my head hitting the pillows real hard. I clenched my teeth 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIyahr5VVF
in irritation. Sunrise felt like forever and I was already tired of 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJKUoyCqfO
sleeping. This had been the third time that I had to wake up and only 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28YyFQRfH4
realise that I had only slept for a few minutes. I wish I could sleep 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQIkGaK497
till sunrise, but waking up three times meant I was too bothered in my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvhGwjYnNQ
mind even to dream.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfrqHDEPK1
I turned to my other side where my stuffed panda lay beside me and I cuddled it in my arms.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsh9EtKArd
How I wish I could fall 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tfHY7mTqJ
asleep. I admired Zoey whom I could hear snoring slightly in her sleep. I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkRwLCbEx3
stared up at the dark ceiling trying to picture things in my mind but I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDMx5zSSJl
couldn't. Even my imagination wasn't working.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizFSBLEno9
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.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u14YV1oNr
I knew I now had to face968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4ehU1q64Q
the music. And even though we had quite a hectic day yesterday, Zoey 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIZFFgB8DQ
hadn't given up on me about what happened with G-Dragon and me. And even968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCUzPrIEob
though she was tired when we got back, she still hadn't stopped 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QLwzzKy1Q
bothering me until she finally gave up and went straight to bed.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkGstUfqLX
I knew her persistence 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA501OFEapP
was far from over and I had to prepare myself for more of it today. I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr295VDyoE
know Zoey must be very worried about me, but I was more worried about 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VVeHFyrKs
her if I had to tell her the truth.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJY5SWOEyt
I know sometimes we 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtWhREZH9x
people lie to prevent the others we love and care about from getting 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJJ68qHS8R
hurt. But there will come a point in time when you can't keep it to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxY6jEZ5nH
yourself any longer because the guilt will eat you up inside. Sadly, I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYSj159A8S
had now reached that point.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwUiZIZjtd
I sighed again as I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbxiJY7O7A
turned again to the other side, taking the panda in my arms with me. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaqdXK3Ew4
What wrong did I ever do to be in the position I was in right now?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTwledun7R
If it came to G-Dragon, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8XzEysLCe
he was going to be one person who will be difficult to talk to. I know I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeB2x3BzOg
betrayed his trust, and trying to convince him was going to be a whole 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbaCiAW6OO
lot harder.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmlNsVEQMn
How was I going to tell 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SDQsIfSNE
him that yes, Daesung and I did kiss, but all of that happened due to a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PfKfFJWmi
completely different story? I know how bad he must be feeling and if I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbCroZ1n82
was in his shoes, I probably wouldn't believe anything I would say 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdx2A7MJCi
either.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRGwqMetuy
I kicked out the bed 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VwS3wcVmo
covers and got up from the bed. And taking Mr Panda with me and my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEl4BnmMPu
phone, I slipped my feet into my bed slippers and walked out of the room968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM0Pvqcjbu
in my purple pyjamas.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8xvhDNMrq
I went straight for the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikX3z4WpyV
dark, empty lounge and I turned on the lights. I went to sit on the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziuR5HfPf3
comfortable couch and with my feet up and folded with Mr Panda in my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdujKaRq7GG
arms, I unlocked my phone and went straight to my contacts and called my968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW1Nuscyzw
mum.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO13V2YhWXw
Hopefully, I was calling968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLidhvPqSs
her at the right time. I wasn't really sure what time it would be back 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO3d1fUwIp
home in the U.S. I was too bothered to even try and figure out all this 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKnKo3HhMC
time zones nonsense. I just had to talk to someone. And why not my mum?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzkOq92vy8
I put the phone to my ear hoping she would pick up. I just hope she wasn't busy at work or something.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVLJWLNxhU
She finally picked up the phone on the fourth ring.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDChspZZbTr
"Hello, Sam?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0Ylmrsk8s
"Hi, mum."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWeYqpAIXo
"Sam, how are you, dear?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrttTTeEwCY
"I'm good. How are you? Are you at work?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh45IEXLUs
"Yes, I am, sweetie. I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYZa100cPb
am just looking at photos online on the computer. A friend of mine just 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcB0QDxKRp
told me you guys went out bowling with BigBang."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7VZcZcJQI
"Ah.." I scratched my head. "We did, mum. And we had fun."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4H5c7mfFK
"Ya, I can see you guys 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodXFi1zmKb
smiling and laughing on the photos." I could hear clicking in the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFYVcMGXSa
background and that confirmed that she was tapping away on the mouse of 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q4RQIlKPP
her computer as she looked at the pictures.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUIPC7TAZO
"So, was it more like a competition?" she asked. "It's says here that you guys won."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5CDWdJuk4
"It was mum. We won," I said with a smile. "You should have seen what happened. It was awesome."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqNQue6Tkb
"I'll check out the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJV7LEalGl
videos later on and see everything for myself, dear," I could hear my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrfKCMgqPq
mum clicking quickly on the mouse. "Now tell me. What's bothering you? 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i5c7WN1gN
Why aren't you asleep?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaycJM3Sv2Y
I raised an eyebrow. "You know what time it is here?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp6SniJwkw
"I'm your mother, Sam. Of course I know what time it is."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AqiYRXAcJ
I could imagine my mum 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKCspAJact
with a stern look on her face as she said that. If we weren't talking on968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtWajO8Otn
the phone and I was standing in front of her, she probably would have 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwpxbWBK8L
her arms folded.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHQNcVduTc
"I know its way too early in the morning for you to be awake right now," she continued. "What's up?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZkLcFsD9Q
"I feel my whole life has been nothing but a lie, mum," I said as I tugged at Mr Panda's ears.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1xod3yoYk
"Your name is Samantha Glasson and you're a famous pop star. That my child, is not a lie."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hya2y01ro
"Mum, you know what I mean when I say that."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ296FY4FDU6
She sighed. "What did you lie about this time?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsITvMZz8Re
"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."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLET515K1Q
"Tell me. I've all the time to listen."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uBDYIUIWL
"I've been lying to Zoey968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaHMDmvMS6
and everyone else about G-Dragon and I, and I don't now how to tell 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJDhz6SFCi
them, especially Zoey since she likes G-Dragon so much. It would crush 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFBoUWP3CP
her if she finds out G-Dragon likes me and not her."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VZznjHdSt
"I thought you girls weren't supposed to date any one of those guys."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2ZTanMlW4
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Wow. Collins really does tell you everything, does he?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsUdIpdeFo
"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."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xCExHiIsV
"Trust me, mum, Collins 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOMmSqma0a
has no clue with what's going on in our private circle and I suggest 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCvNa1hB3X
that you shouldn't say a word either."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf7nYDnWLv
"Is that a threat?" I imagined my mum's eyebrow raised.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VQ72t95lR
"You know I can never 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHwHggtNlz
threaten you, mum. It's just for now until we come back home. It's a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM0Y59p6DQ
matter of life and death. I've no choice."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2eVdhVNBe
"I know. But why does Zoey like him?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH2cm18tmj
"Knowing Zoey, you must know by now the kind of guy she would fall for, mum."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpaBO1maTC
"True. But how come she likes him but he likes you? Don't tell me you also like him too."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaYEApj8Xj
"Well....." I hesitated, trying to figure out what to say next.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf7jb8GWrw
"Samantha Glasson," my mum's voice sounded stern now. "Tell me the truth."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvKBiZbmJ5
I sighed. "I also like him, mum."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uNsEVMh3V
There was silence at the other end. Until....968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqUrtG7GAm
"WHAT!"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOB14Wp1S7
"Mum, calm down. It's not what you think."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfw2l0ri1w
"Then what is it? The 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKydPHeO49B
way I'm seeing it, you also like him and you feel guilty because you 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjHmfzfmkZ
feel like you're betraying your best friend."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELAlyjVlkj
"It was like that at 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDvywXMtbJ
first. I really do like G-Dragon but I'm learning to like him as a close968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqqh5pxTLD
friend because I know how Zoey likes him and because of Collins' 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm3moFPn4t
'golden rule'." I put "golden rule" in quotation marks with my remaining968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbidVUOPEF
fingers.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdVINDPCWb
"What do you mean it was like that at first?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4P0MBvYqZ
"I like G-Dragon, but he isn't the only one."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu6vVBDcuA
"Don't tell me you like someone else from the same group too."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8KCOLyUZB
I closed my eyes as I winced. "Yes, mum."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGl9cGomec
She didn't say a word. I wondered what she was thinking right now.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqVeyn0zbB
"You're really in one hell of a mess, dear."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMCCZvpiCj
"And that's not the worst part."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97wRk2pWaP
I told her what happened968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLRJ3C7lkR
the day Zoey went missing, making sure I didn't mention the stranger in968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv8m7hpzBZ
the suit. I talked about what G-Dragon and I had talked about in the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdS4HEjnJy
park and what we agreed upon. Then I told her what happened with Daesung968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK4jrHq1Pa
and the kiss.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDGhShO186
"You kissed?" my mum sounded surprised.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNetwljMhjE
"Ssh, and listen."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUshpjOxnMq
I told her that G-Dragon and Zoey saw us but they didn't witness the kiss. And I told her what happened afterwards.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21DPc1JrNS
"You're in a real mess, Sam. You now have two people to tell the truth to."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe2vavwbYi
"If it's not Zoey and G-Dragon, then it's the entire group."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1UWSRQBok
"I know. But you can't lie forever now, can you?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hk6jwHdlW
I thought of what she said. "You're right. We all deserve to know the truth someday."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrXkKJdr3Q
"Are you scared?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFdTqbf0fr
"I am. Maybe that's why I can't fall asleep." I hugged Mr Panda close to me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkXQ7yJWhA
"It's okay to be scared, sweetie. And it's good that you decided to come out clean."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNKvmrT5ha
"I don't want people getting hurt because of me." I could now feel tears coming up in my eyes.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bgQVI8ucf
"We all get hurt at some968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP7SJgDtv9
point in our lives, sweetie. That's why there is a time for everything.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs07pltUj6i
Just wait and see. After the storm, everything will be back to the way 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lxeOUY2nZ
it was and everyone will forget about it. Besides, no one can stay mad 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS3lUIQudS
at you forever, Sam. Not even me."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajylWmCVHo
I smiled as a tear ran down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcTGxY75HF
"Thanks, mum." I sniffed.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUPQn7anlZ
"Don't cry, okay? You're968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CEDKBxPNi
a brave girl. Now, do me a favour and get a few minutes of sleep. You 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofhOiO9Gpa
will need all the rest you can get."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwgx2MdzfI
"Yes, mum. I will."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9bCA6Ngxi
"Bye, Sam. Tell me what happens, okay?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuNWPrYgcg
"Okay. Bye."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTFf4PBOg4
I hang up and I quickly 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JgmMKW5Wz
got up from the couch with Mr Panda and went back in the room, straight 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqJT8F8ZQ0
into the bed covers. I fell asleep in an instant with Mr Panda in my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0rS5oKeuP
arms.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv132njxKwl
It must have been some 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIjjWKFGlq
time around 7:40 when I finally woke up. The sun rays shone brightly 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7ZXU9eRlP
into the room that I had to shield my eyes with my hand from the light.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gSaU54on9
"Wakey! Wakey!" Zoey came over and sat next to me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSe3MJEEE2
"Mmmm." I murmered as I turned around and covered my head with a blanket. "Leave me alone."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pz2ZziDUK
"You've to get up, Sam. We have a big day ahead of us."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6fke1SaoU
"Isn't it a Sunday today?" I asked as I removed the blanket from my head.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P4IUj72Rf
"Sadly, it isn't, my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGglnEOIKl
dear kitty," said Zoey as she placed her hand on my head. "Looks like 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSomBPMnv1
you weren't the only one praying for it to be a Sunday."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM2khkKxwd
"Okay." I muttered as I sat up on my bed and rubbed away the sleep in my eyes.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbdfUp008U
"You know you have a lot of explaining to do, right?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhV83NQwo2
I yawned, then sighed. "I know. You don't have to tell me."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdSN4WGOUC
"So, start talking right now."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ulN4JytX9
I looked at Zoey with wide eyes. "You want to talk now?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQKtMM2iGL
"Ya. I'm still really worried about you."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBORD7hlqrd
Looks like I had no choice. This was it. Time to tell the truth.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEv8PXWDwq
"What I'm about to tell you, is going to crush you completely, Zoey."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT7jZWps5r
Zoey turned to look at me with a serious look on her face. "What are you saying, Sam? Is it that serious?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIkvPG7U4J
"It really is, and I feel bad that I have to tell you."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V207pWdMf
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.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD7yWMEuIq
"Just tell me, Sam. Even if it's going to hurt."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5IFJR9uL7
I closed my eyes bracing myself for impact. My heart was pounding so hard.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkMLBiNMGF
"It's about G-Dragon and I," I said. "I'm sorry to say this but...."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKle6DbmG5E
"You like him, don't you?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiACAZbSnNK
I opened my eyes in shock. That wasn't supposed to happen. And what made Zoey say all that?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSiv3n8v5R
"I..uh...no, that's not it."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8L7nnj8Mz
Zoey laughed. "Don't worry, Sam. I know how much you also like him. I'm not mad."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aUJphmtv1
"Zoey, that wasn't what I...."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesdH4Z3VD5
"Expected from me?" Zoey968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWX1Y5AUr7
grinned as she flipped her hair to the side. "I know, you're surprised.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnT7R00r7i
I like him, you like him, the whole world likes him."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzmAUAFirW
"Zoey, I..." Zoey placed her index finger on my lips to keep me from talking further.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv1RYPO86a
"I know you feel guilty 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmYeWZDFM3
that you like him because I do too. Don't worry about it, because I know968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hMcAQTjIS
that you wouldn't try to steal him away from me."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEeBAXwGMQ
I gulped. What was I going to tell her now? How was I going to her that G-Dragon liked me and not her?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexZj3atBHJ
"Aren't you worried that G-Dragon might just like someone else and not you?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkjpgQYxis
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."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7dS6aYUI9
I wanted to slap my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UdawUXzEu
forehead in frustration but I gave Zoey a weird look instead. I couldn't968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUJUtDzjn5
blame her when you were blindly in love. But I had to stop this before 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVRWZ2h88u
it gets out of hand.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKpZlDoN7u
"Zoey, listen to me," I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4cicDmWSw
said as I looked at her in the eye. "I admit that I like G-Dragon, but 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vp1ZoGtTH
not in the way you think. You on the other hand, need to know that...."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzlIFfEwFJ
I paused. That was odd. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTfdUuPpkA
The words were spilling out of my mouth just fine. What's happened now? I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kOReDo0bM
felt someone had just cast a spell on me and now I was tongue tied.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEIGRIMsRU
Zoey looked at me, irritated that I had stopped talking. "What do I need to know?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxmCLHsSKC
What was wrong with me? I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThq7BTUnC6
had so much confidence when I was talking just now and I still do. But 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpDu9SODL1
now, I couldn't say anything. I opened my mouth to speak, but still 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrfCXpF63o
nothing came out. Zoey shook her head.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPLVRmcV6f
"You're weird, Sam," 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaRhfDAiTu
Zoey stood up from my bed and went straight for the bathroom. "When you 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKItDdQnpt
finally have the courage to tell me what you wanted to say, I'll be 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hxnm5MfsE
waiting."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOgsvcwES0
Zoey closed the door and968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYqmSx8PfV
I heard the shower tap turn on. Oh no! I blew it this time and that 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0sd33SaBT
just proves that telling her the truth was going to be a whole lot 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqibHSbbtmZ
harder than I thought.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS7WQ5W7Xg
At least Zoey knew that I once liked G-Dragon, that's if she really took what I said seriously.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6Paj3cMWU
This was all so messed up and I felt like I was going nuts.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGl3gIi1Nv
I stood up from my bed 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4w6jOtbFY
and started to pace up and down, thinking. What happened to me a few 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFrJAaFqKS
minutes ago? Why couldn't I tell Zoey the truth? Well, half of it, which968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbI5MmJGKw
is the most important part.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSL4A4hSvL
"It's not your portion to say anything to Zoey. And you know it."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw84FwT4sVe
Whatever my conscious 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyxRs66PpQ
was saying inside my head was true. G-Dragon did say that he will end 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vnXFFEMVS
things with Zoey and tell her the truth. Was that why I was tongue tied 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnJRFYnftU
and I couldn't say anything? I had no any other reason as to why.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT3sKABSoa
If that was the case, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16q4TTx5Lz
then G-Dragon better do it fast. The earlier it was, the better. Before 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlorOQ8IFtj
Zoey really gets too much involved with him or else she would be 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP3ajOLKtp
shattered completely.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5MW6fSnx2
While I was trying to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgwZ3LNvWD
figure out what to do next, my phone rang and I went on the bed to reach968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKBSC6ttFw
out for my phone that laid on top of the drawer next to the lamp.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGbm0PrEWv
When I checked the caller ID, I raised an eyebrow. An unknown number. I wonder who it was?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkTkNSmvwK
I answered the call. "Hello?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXIRhXrIOB
"Bonjour, mademoiselle," came a deep husky voice from the phone. The man had a French accent.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM8uXtMUsX
I held my breath. That 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpSTWSkGJj
sent a chill down my spine. Who was this? Dang it! I'm supposed to be 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfaOhOOvfq
asking that question, not thinking it.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpV9zoJbje
I cleared my throat. "Hello? May I know who this is?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnifbtUhjk0
The man chuckled. "Who I am isn't important. What matters is that we talk."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51nAaJBGWn
"Talk? Talk about what?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4thuPMyJd1
"Did you check the photo I sent you?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFv3AqiwGD
"Photo? What...?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMaZuFnPYD
I paused when I realised the photo he was talking about. I had completely forgot about it.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnhC1v9EwU
"Oh!" I slapped my forehead. "I never downloaded it to see what it was." I raised an eyebrow. "What's the photo about?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoTOvz1GOV
"If you haven't seen it,968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFkU1MK7xf
then it's best you see it for yourself. I can't tell you over the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWmPjCuSps
phone. When you see it call me or text, will you, sweetheart?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1bVrcB8rL
Sweetheart? What was this guy playing at? What was the photo all about?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE18agwoqP5
"Are you trying to blackmail me with the photo?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9ec9PGUlZ
"I wouldn't call it blackmail. But everything would be more interesting if you're involved."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSieI2pxSBm
"If I'm involved? What do you mean?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECynbSAoaz
I could soon hear the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1muHqzPkjo
person hanging up and I growled. I looked at my phone like I wanted to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzdYR1eCVc
break it. What was going on today? First, I had G-Dragon and Zoey to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltXAM2WXXN
handle and now, I had this stranger calling me and making things worse.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi9cwg1osT
I looked back at my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoErKKUhOf
phone and started to go straight to my messages. I checked the message I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFs7gpSsKN
had received from the unknown man and I realised that I still hadn't 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTExT2bihKv
downloaded the picture. I switched on my mobile data and started to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8TywLWR5k
download the photo.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uHzaTX9YG
"Sam! Zoey!" Lee came all of the sudden into the room. She almost scared me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5GU0pVfey
"Goodness, Lee!" I held my chest as my heart beat fast. "There is a thing called knocking, you know?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVxqeVwRl8
"I know, I thought you guys were still asleep."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC46Hy2f9U
"No matter," I said. "We're all awake as you can see."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXMCHTlZOs
"Okay. Get ready, we have to leave for the studio."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77d5fMZ8Vl
I nodded and Lee left. I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUc91znKUv
went back to looking at my phone. I frowned. The internet was so slow 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWoU8oQGUh
today. The photo hadn't finished downloading yet.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mcmxNx3kM
"I'm done," said Zoey as she came out of the bathroom in her towel. "You go get ready."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm868ZCs3E
"I just want to see something first," I said as I pointed at my phone.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXuKZPETSG
Zoey walked up to me, took my phone and threw it on her bed.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqe4AJIvS5
"Zoey!"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQvfov9Dh9
"Not a word, Sam. You're968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpSlxzHx9a
always the one telling me to get ready and be punctual, but you don't 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm59G5FEKQ
want anyone telling you anything. Just go take a shower. I wonder what's968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdV8pog9OR
up with you today."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpWUitR9Nn
If only she knew. So 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAwqwFkomM
many things were running in my mind that I couldn't seem to focus on one968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1wfP2BLzT
thing because something else would just pop up all of the sudden.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQoFM3K1jY
I went to the bathroom 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Q6wiMW6l
and locked the door behind me. Before I could undress and get into the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJXJYadpjl
shower, I went over to the mirror above the sink and looked at my own 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkv1BxUJZg
reflection.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJSoeKQgB3
I looked like I hadn't 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnEWgXi09Y
had sleep in days with all the dark circles underneath my eyes. I was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15htIHVXTv
deeply troubled, that's for sure. My problems just got increased by one 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeUM9BsdaQ
if not by two.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWGjeiCm4R
G-Dragon and Zoey were 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEv00eEQaL
my main problem to tackle today. And all of the sudden, an unknown 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2F6mW5UZe
stranger calls and tells me about the photo which I had no idea or clue 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB5cH4xsYs
about. And why he sent it to me was the most confusing part. If he 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICWx6S9Ww6
wasn't blackmailing me, then what was this charade about?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6G5eH19qq
After I took a quick 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8YRamwF7h
shower, I quickly went back in the room and I went straight for my phone968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc7NqHFOiv
on Zoey's bed. Zoey had already dressed up and she went past me into 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYe1kIsGks
the bathroom to get her makeup done.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfs2HQFwKH
I unlocked my phone. I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5eocX35aU
was pretty anxious about the photo that even my hands were shaking. The 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpYFGZivZs
photo must be done downloading by now.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrRcrMNO57
Just as I unlocked the phone, it vibrated. Someone was calling me. Oh no! What now?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HYDbJMCST
Seungri was calling. What could he probably want to talk to me about this early in the morning?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhruHeRzKJ
"Hello, Seungri?" I answered.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFr3ERKj4p
"Morning, my panda," said Seungri.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82XiIduG9g
"Morning. How was your night?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqypT3M2Ug5
"My night was perfect, since I dreamt of you."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5ithUtQ02
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.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnxA76WJ7k
"Oh, wow," I said, trying to act a little surprised. I hope he bought it.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxRrzXF7RE
"I've a little something I want to give you when you get to YG."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4pzU5h3ST
I smiled a little. At 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhhuYrAYf9
least out of all that was going on, Seungri managed to make me smile, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT8UVgfehw
which was quiet peculiar because he didn't say anything funny. I was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbevO9RPrC8
already imagining another huge stuffed panda waiting for me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOWfRiSgA1
"Can't wait," I said with a little laugh. "See you."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIYbuunwdk
"You too."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6isCb2u6KJ
He cut the line and I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT4I6gpnVF
threw my phone on the bed. I decided to dress up first and have my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOpm3eeq3q
breakfast, before Zoey came back in the room and start to pressurise me 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KZqLB202C
again. I had already pissed her enough this morning.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOpyFiwaTy
After I dressed up and 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6jGDrttUb
Zoey had left for breakfast, I went in the bathroom to get my hair done 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpfmcG0upx
and applied a bit of makeup to hide my dark circles. When I was done, I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurDm2AtXhr
went back in the room and without a thought of making my bed, which I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACQBbwmFRY
always did, I wore my black pumps, grabbed my phone and went out of the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP25yC90w6
room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kKVZJIIiu
Just as I got into the lounge, I made a bee line to the dining table. Everyone was at the table eating their breakfast.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb60PGGiACo
"Someone isn't themselves this morning," said Collins as he watched me approach the dining table.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfp82Szeuw
I knew he was talking about how late I was today. I was usually the earliest to be at the dining table.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1tjjU38eB
"Sorry," I said as sat down next to Lee. "I was pretty bummed up, that's why."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14LbijXTgy
"No pressure, just eat up, we have a lot of work to do today."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5K9eRSNIb
There was a variety of breakfast options today and I decided to take some cereal, which I haven't had in a while.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhar7KENDVc
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.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOsFCNkD7d
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.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzxoWc0Ndq
I looked at everyone at the table and when they didn't say a word, I shrugged my shoulders.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUxW8ilxbr
"What?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSmimgdznI
Mike who sat opposite me cleared his throat. "You're eating cereal."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFlnYppIwq
I frowned. "So?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdcbvA7l97
"But there is bacon and eggs with toast," said Daniel.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6AzkC1NJw
I was still confused. "So?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ759TiNHD2
"You usually don't eat cereal when there is bacon, eggs and toast," said Collins.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPMIC1Qj3C
"And cereal is kind of like my thing," said Daniel.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh3DNgKmaa
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?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbquO1ew4xJ
"I don't see the harm in968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UUAvHjiP2
eating cereal. I have oatmeal whenever I feel like it and that's still 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZtMpOlK6m
cereal," I said. "I just wanted something different for a change. Is 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc2apdNsFB
that wrong?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar2IKfLgqm
Everyone else looked at each other and then they looked back at me, shaking their heads.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1N8HBSGXN
"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."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxQKCA2yJ4
"I can see that," said 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSvKLBOhKb
Zoey as she drank from her cup of coffee. I knew she was making fun of 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz1lPvCJ0R
me but I decided not to say anything.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwgc6AcURH
When we were done with 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1JyDfoSG5
breakfast, we headed downstairs in the lobby and the black SUV was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJwOaqvkBY
waiting for us as usual. When we got in, I made sure to take the back 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaDMwW5lTs
seat with my brothers next to the window so that I would avoid people 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOYsKpXERM
looking at my phone.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlr1qxvOvj
When everyone in the car968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZzKEaLdBj
was engrossed in some conversation that I had no interest in joining in968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gYco7lRth
or listening to, I decided to check my phone. The photo was done 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN77mjguZXl
downloading and what I saw made my mouth drop and my eyes pop.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNjQ5ApAvO
"What's wrong, Sam?" Mike who sat next to me asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD16tVOQVAp
I quickly pressed the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbjKTefzcb
power button on the side of the phone and blacked the screen. Mike was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd9Wi0IDDx
already leaning onto my side to see what was on my phone.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZStraHrcG
"Nothing, just some scary video," I said.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRRTsQyLhs
"May I see?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQocMRZl5t
"No. You won't be sleeping for the next two days."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX7qbwhs1j
"I've watched horror movies before. I can handle a little scare."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uq87CeV6h
"No can do, bro," I said as I put my phone into my purse that I had decided to carry with me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRcMyqinTs
Mike leaned back and folded his arms. "Whatever."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6aKcNGeuf
I wish I could tell him 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n16TLE6HH
and everyone else what was going on. But at the moment, I felt like 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjBEJob0zA
keeping everything to myself, not after what I had seen.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlr6g5undO
Now that I had seen the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X1xERlQz9
photo, I had to meet up with the stranger and talk about all this. But 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmJ6qQ5WMb
where to meet the person and when was going to be a hustle. It was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvHH34D3l5
pretty obvious that I had to meet him alone.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sTVZfp0qW
Speaking of which, I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuwjua8nGf
still had to convince G-Dragon about telling Zoey the truth. Now how was968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjghrLoFn9
I going to do that given the little time I had in my hands? We had a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SaPGZCTsi
music video to prepare for and we had to start working on the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZFhCfm2Pj
choreography today. This was hectic. And I knew that if I was pushed 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn4vWSPC7g
further onto the edge, I would burst.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VcYpJffXx
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.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1EwEneCWS
My heart skipped a beat.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJAMiKu5nq
I swallowed. This was it. G-Dragon was probably with the others waiting968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w3l3yUKyz
for us inside. For a moment, I didn't want to go in. But I had no 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmUzjeE4lk
choice.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Sx8qBbmV7
As soon as I stepped out968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0xhoXnm3G
of the vehicle, I took a deep breath as I looked at the entrance. I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJwuXRvpXt
felt like I was about to walk into hell and that frightened me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bgm9btlSd
"Are you okay, Sam?" Christine asked as she came to stand in front of me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGF7iJiC1x
"I'm fine," I said. "I just realised that I haven't really thought of any ideas for the music video."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUqHpgXOrz
"You're aren't the only 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCRxBSnBMH
one," Christine said with a smile. "Let's just hope our minds will get 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Ow5QHNtR
to work on that when we get in there."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPSVsNQs1z
I managed to put up a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6i2Ect7k1
smile, but I knew my mind wasn't going to be on full throttle today. How968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yP6lxT7QX
I wish this wasn't happening to me right now.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDbiR1rW0w
As I came into the lobby968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Cny5wXO80
with Christine, we found Collins talking to the receptionist. The rest 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMk6O7j2cH
were heading towards the elevator and we joined them.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr3Vf1UngW
"You will be going up to the dance studio," Collins said as he turned to us. "The others are waiting for you there."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2DyVFRJ1I
"Okay," the others responded. I for one felt really jumpy at the moment.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyBGuACDgD
We all got in the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEUbLhoB01
elevator and Mike was busy talking about some dance moves he had come up968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HqitrUZwu
with and I wasn't really paying attention though I did get one or two 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyw3wZjaFA
things.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZLVVSJgko
We got to the dance 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2jINmgwoe
studio while Lee and Collins decided to go upstairs to meet with Yang 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGaIVs6fKt
Hyun-suk. We checked a few dance studios before we finally found them.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl9QgwF2qW
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted so enthusiastically as we came in the room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW70M14g2vT
I was too lost in 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJk2W7TwyI
thought to even reply to the other's greetings until Seungri came up to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sC6fmaiFq
me and hugged me. That brought me right back down to earth.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fQNAEuh4m
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Seungri asked, still hugging me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ4pg7webw
"I'm fine," I said, as I pulled myself away.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSpTgBmfFc
"If I know you well, you look pretty occupied in that head of yours," said TOP as he walked up to us.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYCLuwVw4w
"Tell me about it," said968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuq2W0ezGx
Zoey as she was now on the floor with Daesung standing right beside her968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31hPjq71hy
and she was removing her shoes. "She's been weird all morning."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7Ckv98ud0
"How weird?" Taeyang asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwrzojyktN
"Too weird," said Daniel.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIvBfGRic7
"Cut me some slack, guys," I said. I looked at Taeyang. "They are just saying nonsense."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ9c5ebGuW
"Says the person who was so late to wake up today," said Zoey.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0jtwW1WfE
"And ate sweet cereal for breakfast instead of bacon, eggs and toast," said Christine.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMWyLuvSX0
"And refused to give me her phone to check out what she was watching," said Mike.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DHf0d03bH
I shrugged. "So? And Mike, seriously? Just over a phone?" I shook my head at my brother.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9rHPm2N7Z
"It's not like you, Sam," said Daniel. "That's all we are trying to say."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitHXaD10Op
I rubbed my forehead. "Look, guys, I'm just a little bummed out because of yesterday. Is that so wrong?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIbNda0kp3
"No, I think something is bothering you," said Zoey, still on the floor.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGqId4y2z8
"I'm fine. Trust me. My mind is pretty tired."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhXE5oAfXG
"Come on, guys, let's not stress her out because of this," said Daesung. "If she says she is tired, then she is."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgTD1qtGgj
Zoey slapped Daesung's leg with her hand and Daesung looked down at her. "Don't try to defend her."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMLhZW8zbl
"I'm not."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOH3wj0zfN
Zoey snickered at him and I knew why. She still remembered the little incident yesterday with Daesung and me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRTnWSgvLO
"Where is G-Dragon?" Daniel asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfKhnaHUO6
I looked around the room and I noticed that GD was the only group member who wasn't here.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyBl6wOBuQ
"He went to get the choreographer," TOP answered.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaoydVMQsD
"Now, Sam, about your little problem...." said Mike, turning to face me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnpJ586Q2z
"Not now, Mike," I said as I folded my arms. "You can attack me later, just not now."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlghESs9vG0
"Not to worry, my little kitty," said Seungri who stood right behind me. "Maybe this will cheer you up."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs0lrBhPy7
Before I could turn 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2sEX5Epw2
around to ask what he meant, I felt something settle at the top of my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeEbJgukLO
head. My hand reached up for whatever it was.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1fRDQXILr
"A lovely crown for the lovely queen of k-pop," said Seungri.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7Qyoe3wtK
I took the crown from 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4UBRsWv48
the top of my head to look at it. It looked more like a tiara but it was968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVgF9c1a3P
big enough to be called a crown. It was silver and studded around with 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BvktYA5ub
what looked like real diamonds. Perched in the middle surrounded by 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44CsUGR6f1
diamonds was a sapphire stone in an oval shape.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkOvIBxa4k
"Wait, are these real diamonds?" I asked as I turned to look at Seungri with a surprised look on my face.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0R48cmUtT
"It is," said Seungri 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgoGFFCXQe
with a huge smile on his face. "And I know how much you value sapphire 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPk5SmqEQg
stones because it's your birth stone."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPCA3W9NWM
"Aww! Thank you so much,968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmHlG3RJUF
Seungri!" I gave him a hug and I couldn't stop smiling. Somehow, I knew968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqCNVbVY12
he was going to brighten up my day today.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX7fhxUgdZ
"So pretty, let me see," said Christine, as she came and took the crown from my hand. "Wow!"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ1jO9hvGX
"I want to wear it," 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5iWbO7XSj
said Zoey as she got up from the floor and rushed to look at the crown. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKjZl5EwA1
Christine put the crown on Zoey's head.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8bHxfsWT1
"Don't I look like a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmfbslsuEF
true queen?" Zoey asked as she looked at her reflection through the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMDOWUHQUm
studio mirrors that lined up the walls of the room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnE1hlXSwL
"You look like that evil witch in those fairy tale fantasy movies," said Mike.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuu7JHRytc
"Haha, very funny," Zoey said as she turned to look at Mike.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z2xVUcJCk
"When did you even have the time to get it done, Seungri?" I asked, still a little surprised.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyl3rHludB
"I have my way of doing things just to impress you," said Seungri with a corky smile.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyPFwDw37h
"Thank you. You don't know how much you just made me smile."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImCsoOf7J7
"It can clearly show on your face." Seungri softly pinched my cheek and I blushed.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx3C3KzLVl
"I should get my own crown," said Christine who also wore the crown and was looking at herself in the mirror.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEnSAjaDyj
"May her royal majesty 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnDcCbanrs
get her crown back?" Taeyang asked as he came behind Christine and took 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicNYDMwLhV
the crown from her head. He came up to me and put the crown on my head.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiLzoEKOv3
"Oh, hail the queen!" Taeyang chanted and I broke into a laugh, playfully hitting him on the shoulder.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bLZCtSeEd
"Stop it, will you? You're making me blush," I said, trying to cover my laugh with my hand.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVmB364lYW
"You look just like a real queen, Sam," said TOP.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fldRWHHfs
"Thanks." I was still blushing like crazy.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXrqyoBDxq
"Let me take a photo," said Daesung, pulling out his phone.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFmJAdOUKC
"Ya. The whole world should see the queen of k-pop," said Zoey.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeOLckiksP
"Are you really calling me that?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooE9nWTiH2
"We did win last night, didn't we?" Zoey asked. "Of course I'm calling you that."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SmPhaHz5B
I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't really taking it that seriously. It was nothing but a game."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxjUc1XQfg
"A game we won. Cheer up. We are all kings and queens with you."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV5jQSaWki
I looked on at Zoey trying to smile as best as I could, but somehow I couldn't.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkXReXFnMp
She couldn't tell the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEGPltQDAX
look on my face because she didn't even ask. Daesung went ahead and took968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTWyxEBcyH
pictures of me, and then we huddled together as a group to take a group968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegRxuyf8nf
photo with me in the middle.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObbHaT71dr
"Hey, what's going on here?" G-Dragon asked as he came in the room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jj7O464Kt
"Taking photos with the queen," said Daniel.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH39LBfwagU
"The queen?" G-Dragon looked confused until he saw the crown on top of my head. "Oh..."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWstBm6nREq
"It's pretty, isn't it?" Zoey asked. "You should also get me one."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCUNK5eQgy
"I can make a gold one if you want," said G-Dragon.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTmWjD56S5
Zoey smiled. "Even better."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrTUTmyZhs
G-Dragon turned to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUpo72N73W
Taeyang. "The choreographer is going to be here any moment now. So I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVeISowyYr
suggest we bring out your ideas if you have any. We can start without 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikZgD76DEc
him and he will find us."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTjzvQTkbI
"Mike told me over the phone earlier that he had some brand ideas," said Taeyang.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOznCRwo8C
"Ya, I do," said Mike. "You guys just watch. I have the song in my phone so I'll play it from there."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBtirzAZJF
We all stood on one side968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fqbfku3OL
of the room while Mike took off his jacket and got his phone to search 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweMU0o4AIV
for the track. He gave Daniel to hold the phone and when he positioned 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsy7Brqplk
himself in the middle of the room and turned to look at us.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgEw5cIKMS
"So, I was thinking, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C7PbXf4fG
since G-Dragon and Zoey start the first verse, they should open up the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpI0qtaAkY
dance floor. So, I need someone to act as Zoey so that I could show you 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknLmHmTUig
guys."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAF5YqDK1o
Christine came forward 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxQLvT9LaL
and Mike gave her a few instructions on what to do. She nodded her head 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LW6GgTkR3
and Mike told Daniel to press the play button on cue.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcUh5aj167
With Christine and Mike 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsFsdDLNTi
each facing opposite directions with their backs touching, the music 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMRJMmmhfd
started to play. Still not looking at each other, the two started the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHfNAvnRdF
dance with each of them taking a step forward, breaking the contact 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfjrkOhT4L
between them and then like a powerful force pulling them, they dragged 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl16yhCgncG
themselves back and they again their backs touched.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfRvQURP36
With a bit of skilful 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnR838cJLL
footwork, they turned to face each other and with their hands, they drew968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0ja2ddKeC
closer and then skidded away from each other with their hands in the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRrVV4vBK4
air.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFhskwamwV
"Then you guys will come in through the middle then make a formation in front."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IFQGyAnsA
"That's pretty awesome," said Taeyang.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9hXJZh9j4
"Very smart," said G-Dragon.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvXshbWySd
"Let's practise that," said Zoey taking G-Dragon's hand and taking him in the middle of the dance floor.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV3i1Jnoe4
"I'll take you through the moves," said Mike as he faced them.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGFcQ853Js
"Your brother is a total genius, isn't he?" TOP asked as he stood next to me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJwOpFkxrV
"Ya, he is," I said with a smile.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90GXc7WiQs
The door soon opened and968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtcPDreRRv
the person who I guessed was our choreographer walked in. We stopped 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsdunDOc29
what we were doing and bowed as he came further in the room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfANTpDA4ZE
"So, I see you guys are already getting started," said the choreographer.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7EI8TyWMH
"Yes, we are," said Seungri.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4xWJZvjZz
"Okay, let me see what you have done so far."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHLr23DGUV
Mike and Christine 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizxdXYsr4Q
stepped forward and the music playing on Mikes phone, they did the dance968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RIAlPm457
routine. After their hands broke apart, Mike explained how the rest of 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosBT1fdAQk
us will come in the scene.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRySkUrgo0U
"Mmmm," the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gb1tAqNmV
choreographer looked on at Mike as he tapped his chin. For a moment I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49I9NDtVFv
thought he was going to say something bad, but he didn't.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k4wkEJGaQ
"I like it," said the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9WAMjYFnz
choreographer. "So far, the starting part is brilliant. I wouldn't have 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLKjcHYzes
thought of anything better. Now let's see if Zoey and G-Dragon could 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67bGRjH0s6
quickly work on their moves then we will come to the part when everyone 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZoevBGgZZ
comes in."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSRTRA4SOI
Zoey and G-Dragon took 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rcVb4TrHG
to the center and with Mike telling and showing them what to do, they 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjz3QZp3Pt
did so accordingly. After a few tries, they got the hang of it and they 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9mR9W177v
were perfect.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9NceaRM4C
"Excellent," said the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbbYciee9q
choreographer as he stood in front of us. "Now, when they break apart, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk2Z9Wxp34
that's when the rest of you guys come in through the space in between 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9shtGpm2H
them like a doorway. We will come in a straight line and then make a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJEMQpjn1I
formation in front of them."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dOmaOFO79
We did as the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm2wmlB00I
choreographer said and the next hour, we were practising our hearts out 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHOIIjZ8EW
for the music video. We made a few mistakes here and there, but we got 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFOvEYTDiw
the hang of it.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ054darLzv9
A few minutes later, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b4bhKI7lA
most of us were splayed on the floor after the choreographer announced 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQDvj2WOH0
that we can take a break with some of us with our backs on the floor and968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7Zsk7aF5f
staring at the ceiling. Others were seated.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNaXiqtAO9
"This is why I hate dancing," said TOP, laying opposite me staring at the ceiling.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUnhalSLzI
I laughed, also staring 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSo4KscVNh
at the ceiling. "I love dancing. It just makes you forget about all your968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQNYaZgmyj
problems for a while. It's kind of like sleeping."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHds9ofCieC
"Ya, true," said Christine who also had her back on the floor and laid a few feet away from me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXKOkIpyPX
Speaking of problems, I completely forgot about that French guy.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwMKIfj0id
I quickly scrambled up 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNsnclLBs2
from the floor passing Mike and Taeyang who were seated on the floor and968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlSUoyNC8Y
still talking about the dance moves. I went to the corner of the room 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA3Bn3HWso
where we had piled up our shoes and phones and my crown. I got my purse 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBPsJnoVy4
and removed my phone.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPbHXhJUfG
I sent a message to the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkzulEj913
stranger telling him that I had already seen the photo. Thinking that he968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvt0RxL56d
would reply later on, he repiled in an instant. That was fast. I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctYOJswhI5
imagined he had been waiting for me to either call or text.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ6YXptWke
"Good. We should meet."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1P1oBU9vj
Was this guy serious right now? I was really busy and meeting him didn't sound like a good idea. I texted back.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aHdInvljg
"I can't see you today. I'm kind of busy."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJtKnP19UJ
"But this is a very important issue, Sam."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurrXmrS18H
Great. He was calling me by name now? How I wished I knew his.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyS66Gegi4
I texted, "what happens if I don't meet with you today?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBwElyKiNF
"You're one smart 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7azmW9Xj4U
girl. I don't have to explain because you know what will happen when the968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3THEKEoGzx
whole world sees this. It's today or never. And never comes with 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx19eMldfC
consequences."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bezB4I3s7
I growled. This guy had put me in a tight corner and I couldn't refuse.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzD1y2X8aV
"Fine. I'll tell you when to meet when I'm done."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cueArRyQZ
"That's my girl."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm6LuO9jlP
I wanted to throw up. I bet this guy was way older than me and him calling me his girl made me nauseous.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6iM7DQrkp
As I tucked my phone 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRTf7sv7qM
back into my purse, I looked up and everyone was still resting. Luckily 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYpAdKTkdE
their eyes weren't on me. I went to lay back down with TOP when I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYLEi3Hkrl
realised that Mike and Taeyang weren't the only ones engrossed in their 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VeYDC4bZO
own conversation. G-Dragon and Zoey were too.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XYyjpulO0
I looked at them and unlike the others, they were whispering. I wondered what they were talking about in secret.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNAWNnlUqR
When they both turned to968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8tv5qbqvc
look at me, they quickly looked away again. My face turned pale. Oh, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynNXL4tDqP
no. Were they talking about me? Their look sent me weird vibes and I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SH8sbcfU4
couldn't help but feel that they were.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUOtEh36kl
I laid back down 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7x706JvWs
pretending that all was alright. I stared up the ceiling as I thought. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyZAe5SfcL
Could it be that Zoey was telling G-Dragon about the conversation the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGp59k0plt
two of us had in our room this morning?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9sqCAVEfk
Yikes! If she did, then I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF1BMeLj7Q
had just made a bigger mess for myself, again. If I'm right, (hoping 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHqf7Pcvrk
that I'm wrong) G-Dragon wouldn't like this at all. We agreed that he 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLMTjJUmFH
would tell Zoey everything. And just a few hours ago, I had almost told 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZwyMZKhgs
her the whole truth. So much for trying to be honest.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHWSwrxtTN
Still in my own thoughts, the door to the studio opened. Collins, Lee and Yang Hyun-suk came in.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrSIiHX8cz
"I see you guys are bummed out," said Collins with a smirk on his face as he looked at each of us.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrWltzqfSH
"Ya, we are," said Seungri, his back also on the floor.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyCyXk8IWv
"Okay, guys, sit up, we have something to tell you," said Yang Hyun-suk.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCUoXYBCq9
Most of us who were on lying on the floor sat up and looked on intently at our managers and Lee.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpgeV26WOY
"We came up with where we will be shooting the music video," said Yang Hyun-suk.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkqd4smhO0
"Where?" Christine and Daesung asked at the same time.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Pfshbj2Y
"Caribbean Bay," answered Collins.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV91TjVXBC
"Caribbean Bay?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyhR30eyLg
"It's not the only place we would be shooting the video," said Lee, tilting her head at me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBhOh3TQCH
"But it would be more likely that we would shoot it at Caribbean Bay?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDVHEga8B3
"That's right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Do you think it's a bad idea?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKhpmvROGL
"No. It sounds great."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa6KwPlLdf
"Well, the song is based on fun," said Zoey. "And we did have fun there."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHHvKjDyYh
"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.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4shKMDFpa
"Haha, that was fun," said Daniel, staring off into space with a smile.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03p14LwFa6
"So, you finish up the choreography today and then we can start shooting the video on Monday."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc0s1kRlai
"But can't we meet tomorrow?" I asked. "You know, to perfect the dance and all?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA4AeR8HOo
"I don't think people will like to meet on a Sunday," said Collins.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtlESZtnQp
"True," said Taeyang.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReFEd0gBnU
"Okay," I said, feeling a968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IbrQOTa5O
little disappointed. That meant we had to finish up and perfect the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTTMx0zXIi
dance routine today. And I don't know what time we will be done.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoLGCxABAV
"Okay, we'll leave you guys," said Yang Hyun-suk.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFm9Va464Z
After the three had 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn02TwLbpk6
left, we went back to what we were doing, waiting for the choreographer 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKihDReMWf
to show up because he was coming in with some backup dancers.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpe9olcN3t
While we waited, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy0UWwAqA0
G-Dragon came over to me, his head hovered over my sight as I still laid968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIgtYFat6Z
down on the floor. I looked up at this face and couldn't make up the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGKKu9U3UB
expression on his face.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJZsBoo6en
"Sam, we need to talk," he said, as he looked down on me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldJ4TapX9V
He sounded serious and I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuhzCOmN0z
couldn't say no. I tried not to show that I was scared but I could feel968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SgYtsN6cV
my body tremble. All I did was nod my head.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ1k2mqVYH
"Let's talk outside," he said and he went ahead of me out of the room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUGPaUlr3R
I got up from the floor 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJpilAy7Rp
and I realised that everyone was looking at me now, obviously wondering 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BQwom7m5O
what was going on. I ignored them and none of them asked anything as I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DI7YJ2gNY
stood up from the floor and walked out of the room.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WPBsUoQ9j
I found G-Dragon three 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxbEGlLgWq
doors down the hall, obviously trying to avoid anyone from listening to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3klGuL3os7
our conversation. I quickly walked up to him with his back facing me. I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz5CS17jeT
stopped a few feet away from him taking extra precaution not to be too 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqGLwyNNve
close.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEEY7oTwHX
"I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymEgk6hEHn
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.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen13gDoHU7
"It's about Zoey," he said.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTOzIgtbFN
I gulped. "Zoey must have told you what happened this morning, didn't she?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXEsOnaZmz
"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?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsfVOZ4fFb
"Sorry, I just.... I couldn't keep lying anymore."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rwJpd86fS
"Really? That's all you can say?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmLi5WPoRp
"Well, it's the truth. And besides, I never told her that you liked me, because I couldn't bring myself to."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvPxoNCyV4
"But you almost had."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmMVDrvCYz
"Yet I couldn't."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9hefhmJR6
"Zoey is right. You're 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtFVOXLInU
been acting really weird today. Weird enough to tell her the truth when 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EAD2riq77
you know I was supposed to do it."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgagUEdFPJ
"Well, you were taking too much time and I couldn't help myself seeing the way how angry you were yesterday and now."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X1iI0dzMJ
"And so telling the truth would help solve my anger issue? Or are you jealous of Zoey because she is happy with me?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91mheYQRAv
I paused before I could say, "what?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BncsYkk9I
"You heard me loud and 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SbSPd7w2m
clear, Sam. As though kissing Daesung wasn't enough, you're now trying 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxI5iI0g4g
to take matters into your own hands."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCgHXWgG25
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.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmimex720En
"Wait, that's not true," I said.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFjcVtHy2H
"Which one? You kissing Daesung or taking matters into your hands?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJzfp3iOs7
I now realised that I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2VlrYW6GT
was stuck. This time I couldn't tell if he was sure that I had kissed 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK2oiL6drO
Daesung or he was trying to test me to see what I would say to prove his968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmnnTJ2HCK
assumption right. But there was no point in hiding now. The truth was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2f9Cwa1FX
bound to come up sooner rather than later.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOokZnk5v6a
"Aren't you going to answer? Which one of the two?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJmnP6c20f
I sighed. "You're being ridiculous, GD."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEElbuOlHwD
"But I'm not and you know it." He took a step closer. "Now answer the question. Which one?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg2s5mAylw
"If you want to hear it, then fine. I did kiss Daesung but it's not what you think."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkyq1b7wsz
G-Dragon took a step 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcho2O6VQ5
back. "I knew it. You tell me you want nothing to do with me and then 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9rZF7ZJbl
you kiss my best friend who is like a brother to me!"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc7CGsrRwb
"You wanted the truth, didn't you? You got one! But backstabbing you wasn't what happened."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCgSngrt8V
"Then what did happen?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIqAI1HRim
"All of this is nothing 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaKzUz1tgZ
but a misunderstanding. I never went back on my word. Things just 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AtdbUHjCb
happened that I myself couldn't control."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU24ZASlDD
"Don't lie to me, Sam."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMEVGmNwSl
"You know what, I'm 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcFg8Pj3U4
trying my best here to try and tell you the truth but you're acting like968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e9YL5dSdR
a deaf person blocking my words out. I knew from the very beginning 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNw72qvuyP
that I could never be with you nor with Daesung and I have accepted it. I968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxw6tHfbm3
talked about that with him yesterday. That's why he kissed me."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ugLd1tPuw
G-Dragon shook his head. "So you're saying that he kissed you and not that you kissed him?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JFco2xDTe
"Yes. But I know you 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEJmjKKire
won't believe me. Unlike you, at least Daesung realised and accepted it 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLO3chipV4
for himself that he and I could never be together."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCDr3B3Kmp
I looked at G-Dragon and I knew I hit the spot. I just hope that what I said would make him understand.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZVtUPadeN
"The sooner you accept all this, the better it would be for all of us," I said.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSW03xJZRp
I turned around to head 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcwm0ghr5g
back for the studio. As I walked away, I realised that I wasn't upset or968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4SnqmEiX0
angry. I was frustrated and my problems were far from over.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3i1tNdIdR
When I came back in the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNBj8FoeSb
studio, all eyes were on me as soon as I walked in. I could tell on 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yu891qCO6
their faces that they had heard the entire conversation.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtkqJ6nYM0
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdjgMUSOKW
I didn't want to beat around the brush. "No. I'm not."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUD49VwBTT
I came in further into the room and sat down on the floor, not looking at the others.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcz6TLhgDz
"You and G-Dragon were arguing," said Zoey as she came to sit down beside me. "Would like to talk about it?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHayk5u3FM
I looked at Zoey. "I'm certainly not the one to tell you what's going on."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzLCJs9MBd
I went back to looking at the floor. My chin rested on my knees and I hugged myself, lost in thought.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs7R3qeiLE
I heard the door open 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCezMj6FxRM
behind me and I knew G-Dragon had come into the room. At the corner of 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrbdOsPkKp
my eye, I could see Zoey turn towards the door.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBtMKRJd6q
"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."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhajynYLxYK
"It's nothing," I heard G-Dragon say.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5TftsxC2L
"It's nothing? Looking at both of your faces, something did happen," said TOP.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCYk6qWnjB
"Look guys," I said as 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg78c0b3cWq
quickly stood up from the floor and turned to face them. "Tell me if I'm968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUy0TRfWyp
wrong, but you guys heard the entire conversation, right?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DQ78sa46A
No one said anything and they had guilty looks on their faces. That settled it.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5GfPT2rh8
"I'm sorry you had to hear all that," I said as I scratched my head. "We shouldn't have been so loud."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PSvgqtfgk
"Why didn't you two tell us all this before?" Seungri asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpQJgLGOyn
I didn't say anything 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco0urKShGX
and neither did G-Dragon. We looked at each other and then at the others968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdePTQkliZ
who were waiting for either of us to say something.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZFoIaM7CC
Before anyone could 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiadG5jr5ig
break the silence, the door to the studio opened and the choreographer 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjo7LMTgdw
came in with some backup dancers and pretending like nothing happened, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96dfBOlEFx
we went back to practising.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEMMlMNawg
I don't know how I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAyjCVTupR
managed to go through the entire dance session without making a mistake.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4IK3m8QXZ
Not after what happened some minutes ago. Now that everyone knows 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYrXSrZp2P
what's been going on between G-Dragon and I, it was supposed to affect 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnng269KscU
me in some way but it didn't. I felt bad, but right now I had to keep my968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVGA3PoQUK
head in the real world and not mess things up.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORcKPnErI7
It was lunch time and 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd8jluneIm
again we took a break. We were almost done with the dance routine but I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsINa04C4B6
was so tired, I wondered if I would be able to meet up with the unknown 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1978JsQ9Gl
stranger.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GvCDGwDeE
Now that we were on a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV1S7wwGOx
break, no one said anything to each other even after the choreographer 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5jJg4LvRq
left with the backup dancers. As much as I would have loved to say 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVJIQZ95rr
something to the others concerning the argument, I couldn't. It was just968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn4owNGCuB
too awkward for me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloeB89FhG7
Zoey cleared her throat first. "Mmmm, so are we going to talk about this or are we going to have lunch?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3jcSdVUzi
I looked at Zoey. "You and G-Dragon have a lot to talk about." I then turned to face G-Dragon.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMFV24C1ms
"Sam's right, Zoey," said G-Dragon.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElq1uJAL0H
Zoey looked a little downcast as though she knew to expect the worst.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kTau9dwtr
"Well, you guys can talk if you want," said Seungri, "but I'm hungry."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymnvoCZ7Yn
"Ya, me too," said Daniel.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwDL8nQn1H
"We can order a pizza," said Christine.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqb5DYmzuK
"Good idea," said Taeyang.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFB7tvwIsp
As though they couldn't 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EyOOFnlHD
stay in the room any longer, the others walked out, leaving Zoey, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkCFobUzxl
G-Dragon and I in the room. I couldn't blame them. There was too much 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS8MFz8eWF
tension going on and I couldn't help to think it was entirely my fault.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfk7kQkdSj
A few seconds later, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CAxr8QDwO
when I knew that the others had gone, I also left the room with my purse968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxrkVgQAuE
and crown without saying a word. Zoey and G-Dragon had a lot of talking968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HWSYQdxaK
to do and I would come back for that later. And while the others had 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPpVzNAmWj
plans for lunch, I had other plans of my own.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8DRzwGhk7
As I walked down the empty hall, I called Lee and she picked up immediately.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnAOaORVPD
"Hey, Sam, why are you calling?" Lee asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGDlOOgJHk
"A lot has happened 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaY0xwX9PX
today that I need to tell you, Lee," I said, keeping my voice down in 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9r3KDFtow
case there were any people snooping around.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJYdUUNA5j
"What? What's happened?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk1Dc1go7y
"Everyone now knows the truth about G-Dragon and I. They heard us arguing."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoW3O7TOmv
I could hear Lee gasp and I pictured her ready to drop and faint. "For real? Oh, gosh, this is bad."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGXjJNIbgn
"That's not the worst 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzO6wNyaYh
part," I said as I found myself at the end of the hall going down a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uZj6VDSlf
flight of stairs. "A weird guy called me today and I need to meet him."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVXqrO1iDl
"Huh? What for? Who is this guy?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6vV2mDLM2
"Like I said, he is 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pt8V5GGp7
weird. Something bad came up and if I don't meet him soon, a lot of us 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCvt3q6SX1
are going to be toast especially with the press."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad3UfyiBNv
"Is he blackmailing you or something?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvcu2uKb25
"I'm not sure if I can 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNcbICfPwb
call it that. But if I'm affected too, then it kind of looks that way. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gDH0AVxpH
Do me a favour and meet me at the back of the building."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bBt7Zif5B
Lee paused. "Why? You aren't going to meet him, are you?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDEU3G9VuC
"I've no choice and I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwnH9tirSE
would better do it now because we are going to be here for a while until968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOiNNWanK1
we are done with the dance routine. Bring me a pair of sunglasses, a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcVSZvn1IZ
cap and a scarf."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fNCHnQ0Qr
"What will you need that for?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUdX3FmxuC
"Trust me," I said as stopped on the stairs. I wasn't too sure which floor I was on at the moment.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL6Op3RBxF
"Okay, fine. I'll see where I can get those."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzooU9VqV8
"Thanks, Lee. Don't tell anyone."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQcNl4swwc
I cut the call and this 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEAXI8BqOT
time, I ran down the stairs with a new found energy. I was tired from 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M8L8RrDF4
all the dancing but I had some reasonable ounce of energy left in me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PSC9cumOY
I reached the bottom of 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNfGZ0H0bC
the steps. I had reached the ground floor. There was a passage behind 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnryp44C8c
the stairs which lead to a door. The back door, I presume. And in front 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwY6ui5tLv
of me was a short passage which lead to the lobby. I could hear a few 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSmdvF2YbK
voices that I could recognise.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmkBFrzyv1
I went over to look, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmS5R6fdmn
making sure I had my back against the wall. I took a peek and I saw The 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qI7Da77zZ
Toxins and BigBang in the lobby heading out. They were going out for 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp7rfFQzcD
lunch instead of ordering it from here. Before I could turn around and 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp5h6pO59V
head for the back door, I ended up hearing their conversation.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxtTNfHGo5
"I wish Sam could have told me what was going on," said Christine.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60Uhq6zhby
"How could we have known?" Daesung asked. "Sam and I just talked about it yesterday, but she never mentioned G-Dragon."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj4umxERnP
"I'm just surprised that968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wvIUQgrp7
you kissed my sister," said Mike. For some reason, I was surprised that968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjkOeTDau1
he wasn't upset like I thought he would.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pps8bz5oW
"Well, whatever she did that for," said Taeyang, "she will tell us eventually."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUoZBmfK81
"Should we go back for her and see if she would come with us for lunch?" TOP asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47MzLJ7bKs
"No, I bet she wants to be alone for a while," said Seungri.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBDTxWdOhZ
"I think so too," said 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Zh2tCJZO
Daniel. "But just in case, we would order her and the others a takeout. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTgOzB4drE
Sometimes Sam would starve herself without even realising it."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA1UnqkvMX
The next thing I knew, their voices became distant. I peeked again and I saw that they had already walked out of the lobby.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAYvHEMUXd
I was expecting them to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rscHSibn0
be mad and all, but they didn't seem like they were. Maybe they were 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0wa6aR4bq
just hiding it and they would throw all of their anger on me later on. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlswNESiWF
Who knows?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3P69Ycf49
Throwing that thought 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8XTDQDcKT
out of my head, I quickly went back down the hall, heading for the back 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuA6fgZYhM
door. I hope it wasn't locked. I swung the door and it opened. Lucky me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Cj6jOg0p
Now I had to wait for Lee to show up.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOXavi46qv
There were still more 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJeda6dsgK
vehicles parked at the back of the building. Some of which were delivery968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLAaMiXXB7
trucks. I waited for Lee on the slab with my back leaning against the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbATmNycLhB
wall. I could hear the sound of the vehicle's engine coming from the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrUXzbbtmW
front and I knew the others were leaving until I heard the noise fade 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQC3yZ59Al
away.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4mcs2Cjrx
In what seemed like 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MoPslqvcw
forever, Lee appeared around the corner of the building with her 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv3iBlKAIH
handbag. When she spotted me, she quickened her steps.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WCMXeIqm1
"It's about time," I said with my arms folded.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk2DZ21YxY
"Don't act all grumpy on me," said Lee. "So as to let you know, finding what you wanted wasn't all that easy."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc89MifqWD
"Okay, thanks," I said as Lee gave me her bag and I gave her my crown and purse to hold. "Hold this."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwaDWMpqBl
"Oh, wow!" Lee marvelled as she looked at my crown. "Who gave this to you?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DqZ028DFB
"Seungri," I answered as I rummaged through the bag to get the items out.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINsaKTVM3G
"This is so pretty. These diamonds look so real."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHDw1XUL59
"They are," I said as I put the blue baseball cap on.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU9eWMJJjJ
"So sweet of him to do this," said Lee. She looked at me. "Are they all still inside?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPYOMph8BN
"They have gone out for 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPsi3FXd4L
lunch. But Zoey and G-Dragon are talking in the studio. Hopefully things968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwUnMVv7Pv
will work out okay. Though I highly doubt it will."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTv24tSzDc
"Things are really bad, huh?" Lee asked with a sad expression on her face.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeBUQo0b5C
"Ya. And they are about 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFf83s6vLb
to get a whole lot worse. Wish me luck." I put on the sunglasses and the968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86T7bMuF6K
light scarf around my neck. Lee gave me back my purse.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozhVFk1Gxk
"Okay. Tell me how everything goes," said Lee. "Want me to escort you out of the gate?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbrSfuEoux
"Ya, that will be a good968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCynmuYBLUW
idea," I said. "Leaving me alone would be dangerous and who knows what 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItHLvV41J6
the guards might think when they see me."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgG30nJYqe
Lee and I started to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d0tRccrWX
walk and we turned around the corner finding ourselves back at the front968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6lFUdbhwO
parking lot. As we were heading towards the gate, Lee started some 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuo7Y2Mtuj
random conversation and I played along making sure not to look 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYlcEOfXkV
suspicious in front of the guards who didn't seem to be paying much 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ivJHATw55
attention. I made sure that they didn't notice my face.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxYYNCM73S
When I finally managed 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpshNqwtVb7
to get out of the gate, Lee wished me luck. I nodded my head and walked 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9okkaZ2C1j
away from the YG gate and down the street.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hXXwXDMrQ
I had to admit, I was so968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5NmGdWHxX
scared. For one reason, I had no idea where I was going since I hadn't 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUqJwvADjk
fully known the place and this was the first time I had to walk around 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSvqU794Ku
in the streets by myself. Going around alone was too dangerous for me 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6JKTb7BkM
and I was crazy to think I would manage on my own.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQqJmc1dYc
After walking a few 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZgPijpvxN
blocks away from YG, I reached the crosswords and I stopped at the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R6iErPjWg
traffic walking sign. I looked around and so far, no one had recognised 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRcTKvh9xd
me under my little disguise. When the robot indicated 'walk' I crossed 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yXJyW7JWd
the road with a few people and got to the other side of the street.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6XVBHbzDK
As I walked, passing a shoe shop, I took my phone out from my purse and called the unknown man.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f0K4gck0a
"Ah, you finally called," said the stranger who had answered after the first ring. "I've been waiting."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO6qVY1HeP
"Ya, I figured," I said, looking around hoping that no one noticed me but the cap hid my face968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLnOgOY5oB
pretty well. "I've no idea where to meet you and I'm not so familiar with the place."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNogVeG6IWr
"Not to worry, dear. I already see you. Nice disguise by the way. I can hardly tell it is you under that baseball cap."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOpKKfU3h6
I froze as I soon looked968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe2rK0xx0F
left and right and across the street hoping to see him. But I couldn't 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfDfsgsPcZ
spot out any French native among the midst of Koreans. Feeling a little 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3piibaMBh
out of place, I figured I might just be the odd one around here too.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovnfQiEZLL
I heard him laugh 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPoGSz7KI4
through the phone and I could tell he was making fun of me. "Not to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB9wBXbuIr
worry, Sam. Be careful or you might just blow your cover."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaBVCaA7vW
I gritted my teeth. "Just show yourself. Where are you?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr3sU7r0Um
"I'm right here."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV62zNyios
"Right where?" I looked around and still nothing. People walked past me and I got frustrated. "Don't try play games with-"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXduKKLqLB
My sentence was cut 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8YEXF6Gsl
short when down the road, a fancy black shiny Bugatti parked at the edge968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9TLjbtRNG
of the concrete slab right in front of me. I looked on with my mouth 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01wVG2A5vE
agape. I have always admired fancy cars but this was one hell of a ride.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t3wR4xcVq
A smartly dressed 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINmvjvOf3M
looking chauffeur came out of the driver's seat and came to my side. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj7lcpIRqY
With his white gloved hand, he opened the door to the passenger's seat.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiLFQWfiY4
"You may go in, mademoiselle," said the driver in deep French accent, as he bowed.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3UKONK9lS
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.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNdS5lqpsB
A few heads turned my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hwMrCcVLv
way and I could only imagine what people must think of a Bugatti and a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G84Sm3yFq
smartly dressed chauffeur waiting for me to go in. Strange, I suppose 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vCGUlPTqv
and a little suspicious too.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6cDZZcsCh
I managed to awake from 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen5GDX2ppJ
my slumber and got in the car before people fully start to look at me 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3poKKaE5H
and figure out who I was. As I got in, a nice car smell wafted in the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2g1ZYwnlW
air and into my nostrils. The chauffeur closed the door and went to the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjcnDtGeI0
driver's seat.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Vr6JuBhp
"Samantha Glasson, nice to finally meet you at last," came a deep voice.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZjqJNCVGJ
With my eyes, I looked 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbHVjbAJKi
at the person sitting right beside me in the passenger's seat. For a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumaYxl91qU
moment, I was scared. But when I looked at the man fully, my face fell.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDjSNRGjWb
He looked to be in the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXEzJd0AS7
same age group as me but maybe two years older. I guessed in my head 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu24zqHblL
that he must be 24 or 25. He had gorgeous blue eyes like the colour of 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELJ303nbGl
the sea and brown short curly hair. His dashing lips were lifted up into968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PuZjEoobN
a smile and under that navy blue suit of his, I could tell he was one 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ8txWajwF
who had one heck of a body.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnrzk8IZBf
I hadn't said a word and968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGBl5Wq2Jk
the car started to drive down the road when the young man offered his 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPdbccaeya
open hand. I stared at it and noticed a shiny gold Rolex on his left 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCi4xutVUa
wrist. Who was this guy?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3h10vHICX
"Aren't we going to shake hands?" he asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaAb7zouqQ
I opened my mouth but 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbwFbCJMnu
then closed it again knowing that it was pointless to argue. I took his 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA3DAjZrGQ
hand and shook it, scared that I might receive a shocking zap from the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MzZFJaOXN
contact.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaPgAnnD2s
"And you must be the guy I was talking to over the phone?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbAmHTa3RL
"Yes, a pleasure to meet968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaAGuLFB9l
your acquaintance." He lightly pressed his lips on the back of my palm 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79Obt3L3Ar
and I blushed as I slowly withdrew my hand.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01CoHdursR
"I'm sorry we had to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAC2QiVrqH
meet under such awkward circumstances," he said as he leaned back in the968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW5DtxnwMI
fancy leathered seats. "But I needed to talk to you, and fast."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRkdeNqrx2
I looked at him and 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdantKcWdE
realised that all his was just too surreal. This wasn't what I was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9A1tzhcob
expecting. I was expecting a man much older than me and rafia looking. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4l8ELKk3x
This guy right beside me looked like one of those handsome Greek gods we968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdLxQG0xXu
hear about in mythical tales.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoaDEadNOw
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked with the corner of his lips raised up to a smile.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmDZparZOw
"I...uh." Yikes! I was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQKBPxmi0Y
caught looking at him. I blushed and turned to face the window beside 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfBNQrz7F3
me. "Nothing. This wasn't what I was expecting."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMeAiKZ9Cw
There was silence and I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHiNHSAR1T
didn't want to look at him. He was obviously looking at me and that made968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10PZ6ZGctk
me play around with my fingers because I was nervous. Then I realised 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZDVA2I6vB
something.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI7vFJSgG8
"You never told me your name," I said as I looked at him. Dang it! I wasn't supposed to look at him.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGcXmcobgT
"Oh, silly me. Where are my manners? I'm Derrick."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3VOrqvzV9
"That's a weird name, given that you're French."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e8oiaO0Kr
"I was born in the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZETOyQyUc
States and my parents preferred giving me this name even though they are968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVljswn4eBD
both French. I grew up in France almost my whole life and my parents 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmBD4dsm7O
are people who like to travel a lot for business. Building their 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlg0McUHkF
business empire is what's so important to them."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvtltkMSbh
"I can clearly see that," I said as I wondrously looked around in the car.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcQpfk6xlh
My expression might have amused him because he chuckled. I blushed as I pushed my glasses further up my nose and folded my arms.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77umHLk6F9
"This is going to be fun," he said to himself.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveUqYHZgXi
I changed the topic. "About the photo, why did you want to see me?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6P1B8RfS4
"Can we talk about this over lunch?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckM6EVkuND
"Lunch?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslJoXY1VCD
"Yes, lunch."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL5c23uywG
A moment ago, I wasn't in the mood for lunch. But now that he mentioned it, I was starving.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEIjFuKsDg
"Lunch sounds good. But not in the open. I don't want to grab any attention."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpQijDrVO9
"Of course. I figured you would want that. Given that no one knows where you are anyway."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOGTMtCXuq
I raised an eyebrow at 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvVaNAvCXD
him. "You've been following me the whole time, haven't you? That's how 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOajOMPiaQF
you have been able to find me on the street."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQXiPc6akh
He gave me that dashing 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGtFV5e8m7
smile of his. "Of course. I just had to. I knew sooner or later that we 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJq6XbZaFs
would meet. I had to come prepared."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn7Oxgn6ue
"That's sounds creepy if you ask me," I said as looked out the window. "So, where are we going?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwUQkx6u2e
"My apartment. It's much safer there."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH15NASVqz
"You own an apartment?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIpQADWNDg
"Like I said, my parents travel around for world and South Korea, is one of their favourite spots."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Gch88uFC
"So, it's their apartment then and not yours."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUVJ1JWfI9
"They have their own apartment and I have mine."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCjpsDqH4x
"Oh." I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKO2XGGpnu
"Here we are now," said Derrick as he looked out of the car window on his side and followed suit.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RbC6pxx1P
It was a huge apartment 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsURoYSXT6
building kind of like the ones famous people live in. The car took a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hhtfpUf3t
turn and went down the road to an underground parking lot.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5UpoQz2aF
After the car parked, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLkYvTHLEv
the chauffeur quickly came out and opened the car door on Derrick's 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZNRUXEuDf
side. Derrick came out and I followed. Before I could step out of the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nja93d85D
car, Derrick held out his hand to help me out. I took his hand and I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2NBlN1Dlf
came out of the car.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDfJ2WvgCD
Derrick lead the way, 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN4VrfpmEZ
still holding my hand, to the elevator and the chauffeur stayed behind 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZllGczGlh1
with the car as he watched us go. I couldn't help but feel that the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK0M26jkEl
chauffeur had been smiling at us from the time we got out of the car.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zFxA1lGkF
Derrick pressed the elevator button and when they drew open, we stepped in at the same time.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7YwvHrKZQ
When the door closed, I withdrew my hand from his. He pressed the button to his floor and I felt the elevator move.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBWKRySkvy
"So, about that photo, I need to know what's going on," I said as stared at the floor.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBZIXLDamq
"What do you want to know?" Derrick asked. I could feel his eyes on me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OcLhAlYQL
"Everything," I said as I looked at him. "But one thing I don't get is why you're involving me in all this."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzIBpDLqvV
"But don't you want to know what's going on?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWmAM5ObQK
"Well, ya, I do! You're 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI41GDiqU9Q
the one who sent me the photo so I'm curious. Do you know what? It was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8yJT2qOmx
best you didn't send it to me in the first place."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbUeCeo94L
"Why?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUmUws37Zf
"Maybe then I wouldn't be here."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuVC42YTy9
The elevator doors flew 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfvrUoWAOj
open and in front of me was a lavishly looking hall. The white painted 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67KPdi9PMP
hall and the bright lighting above made the hall look angelic that if 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM5UIUM53F
you were to see it for yourself, you would think you had just stepped 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbLZmqL1we
into heaven.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDa9JLzT0h
I stepped out of the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ3ndnYoHA
elevator and beautiful paintings lined up the walls. I noticed that the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyaivWCp1V
doors leading to other people's apartments were white doors with fancy 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmWHW4suNo
looking gold plated handles. The floor of the hall was covered with a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKXAh89ewv
soft red carpet.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40Z3eyR191
"This place looks nice," I said as I walked down the hall.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVvUINwKAS
"I know," said Derrick as he came up behind me. "My apartment is the door at the end of the hall."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe8TqX3kWt
I looked down the hall 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllRQRTVCao
and there stood two huge white doors. I walked up to it and just as I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4hUoRYpml
was about to turn and look at Derrick, the right door flew open and in 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMMPqyTm1E
front of me stood a smartly dressed butler. It's like he knew I was 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZqwfTan0N
coming.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6UwuZFOUd
"Welcome, mademoiselle," said the butler as he stepped aside and and with his hand, he gestured to come in.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3dT6PDpow
For a moment, I hesitated. Until I felt Derrick behind me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb1uuofRYK
"Ladies first," said Derrick.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOaUT4OlnL
I gulped and took a step into his apartment.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ481qQFbIK
"This place is very 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWSQKWlnDJ
nice," I said when I looked around the foyer and I when turned round the968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIxAka7H5d
corner, there was lavishly looking sitting room with creamed coloured 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW9Pl4fk26
sofas with a glass coffee table and I huge smart screen TV pinned on the968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSWXQjm6bx
wall.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J6QQmeK3d
I looked to the other 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon294w58sT
side and there was a fancy looking table with a beautuful chandelier 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbA6X8Z9Vw
above it. Beautiful artistic pictures filled the place and there were 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlzKNjeCOF
beautiful flower vases with orchids.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8omSbiEsaa
"I see you like 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqYRVRlWor
orchids," I said as I went over to the flower vase close to the sitting 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjktKwwRac
area and looked at the orchids. They were fresh and lovely.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7LaDiaVf4
"I know you like roses," said Derrick as he stared at me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTZXk4t7Vv
"Almost everything that celebrities like and don't like are always found on the internet." I rolled my eyes at him.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOnvWqdKSq
"True, but I can tell what a woman likes and doesn't."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLUpVgrs75
I gave him a smile that showed how impressed I was.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbtCxyOjAZ
"Lunch is ready, sir," said the butler. "Should I serve the food?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO3b7LjPA0
"Yes, please," sad Derrick.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzFuBJfZ4F
The butler bowed and 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b7pN4EcJg
left for the kitchen. I continued to look around and I went over by the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqPn6XZYXN
windows to look down at the city below. We were so high above the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVsW1dTnXD
ground.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJc9nWOJFK
"Is it just me or are we on the last floor of this building?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcuNUZKtNp
"We are," said Derrick who came to join me by the window. "This place is lovely, isn't it?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSlbyFmkV6
"Ya, it surly is." I knew he meant Seoul.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG3pJWsJD8
"Food is ready, Master Derrick," came the butler behind us.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRxOlZj7tr
"Shall we?" Derrick gestured his hand towards the dining table and I walked up to it with him following behind me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybttWDWljo
As we got to the dining 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Of21qZmLT
table, Derrick pushed back a chair for me and I took my seat, removing 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7GJRIsCat
my glasses and cap putting the glasses in my purse. I said thank you and968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaqVWCAXtn
he sat at the head of the table right next to mine.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1qTdJeN7K
The butler had served 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg661nlhqKU
our plates on the table and just by looking at the cutlery and napkins 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIHybWb8Rs
laid and folded neatly I couldn't help but feel I was in some kind of 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnj78HmdKm
fancy fairytale. The table was set to perfection and the wine glasses 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr84Xko2za4
next to the plates were spotless.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPaeIjlmgx
Dishes of food were 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqbZHXrufL
lined in the middle of the table and my mouth couldn't help but water. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXa7a6WfP8
If I wasn't in such an elegant apartment, I would have just dug in and 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNRpJSkOoT
started to eat. I was really hungry. But for now, I had to act like a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARW5LZLxXK
lady.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7ivo4dIJk
The butler helped to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJv8Lq8kVr
serve the food and I didn't hesitate eating right there and then. I made968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn5fhIQZeY
sure not to eat too much and take my time.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFWX0tf8L5
"This was really good," I said, after I was done with my food.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGmpmHRs5O
"France's finest traditional dishes," said Derrick with a smile.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc60nKetkxh
"Now, about the issue at968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VDDbdNygl
hand," I said, wiping the corner of my mouth with a napkin as the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMptbDGJISL
butler came to take away my plate and also Derrick's.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzmBGPmvIj
"Let's talk then," said Derrick.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFYFOc2z1b
"First of all, I need to know why you sent it to me."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnp0OoEuq4
"Because as much as you don't want to get involved, it concerns you more than you can ever imagine."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoy4FmkcUc
I shook my head as I got my purse and removed my phone. I went to the gallery and checked out the photo.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVHcShecdX
"How does this have to do with me?" I asked as I showed him the photo.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeV3eZrizh
The photo showed Zoey in968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rr3Z0zG4J
a some place that looked like a garden or a park and in front of her 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZbQ2dyFGc
stood a man I couldn't recognise. His face was hidden because his back 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhMvNjBQFr
faced the camera and whoever had taken the photo, took it behind some 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZzjFcZcT4
bushes so it was hard to make out who he was. But there was something 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6xuHSNYQ2
completely odd about what I saw in the photo.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN7GAodKuT
"I know this isn't 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7Jh1sYUnf
really supposed to concern me," I said as Derrick looked at the photo 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVboB84Z6bF
and then back at me. "Who was Zoey with?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwuM7Ai0I2
"That's my brother," Derrick answered.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYiqUhfxIu
Now that was a surprise. Derrick had a brother?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJmmuV43sE
"Wait? Brother?" I raised an eyebrow.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl5434hdXE
"Sadly, yes," said Derrick clearing his throat.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9evuZJCeu
I looked at the photo 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROsQwN3F6a
again. "So, you're saying that, this happened the time Zoey went to 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx14eT3ZS8
Paris with G-Dragon and the others? And this person in the photo is your968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JaX0RFUMZ
brother?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gZy3XMO4A
I still couldn't believe it when Derrick nodded his head at me.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0iJROa5hU
"You never told me you had a brother," I said, looking at Derrick.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsJGyeCcfA
"We don't really get along," said Derrick.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPlEr8vDHE
"That figures," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Why?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfWlqxXVIE
"We have been different from each other since we were kids. You can't even tell that he and I are brothers."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08FZt5orN6
"So, what's do you think he wants with Zoey?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z5HAYJWeT
"I have no idea but I know it's something serious."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmB102Miz6
"So, you're just assuming all this or what?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo015rmoKS
"I know my brother very 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXyRelantF
well. I know something is going on between the two of them. I had my 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEZClFiUEV
suspicions during the Chanel fashion show."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zmb0gBSAz
I then remembered the 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQtFhSXAwd
time Zoey came back to Korea the following day after the fashion show. 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCkTt5dLfA
She was acting all weird and the way she had hugged me surprised me a 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanfRyVK5e8
little. And so did the others. Were these guys really in trouble?968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxFZ1eBoSR
"Are my brothers and Christine involved in this too?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GnK6wkxQp
"I can't be too sure. You have to ask them."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHJBq8AlRi
"But that's strange. If 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaYS20gfz4
it's something so serious as you put it, they would have told me. I 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznHHLHvQT0
don't see the reason why they would hide."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuA4l45XkO
"If it's anything concerning my brother, I suggest you find out what's going on and fast. I don't like it."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ISFsBr5C3
"But what if all this isn't that serious? In fact, what makes you think your brother is that dangerous enough to hurt us?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaKUP994GP
Derrick leaned back on his chair as he looked at me and I waited for him to answer.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xf2gpp81x
"My brother isn't one person to mess around with. He is one person who threatens when things don't go his way."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmq2jrQfIyp
"You think he is threatening Zoey?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolPnbACXWu
"He did visit Zoey in that café, didn't he?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpQ4vuV2nm
"Wait! That was him?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXBhhDJWsk
"Yes. I was there."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsC39BpwDS
"You were there too?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje6BrGRD7b
"Yes. That's when I thought you should help me out with this."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmwCT3V0pA
"But what if I can't?" I folded my arms968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBKbFZUPIe
"Zoey is your best friend, isn't she?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeh4LREc9d
"She is."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZxqFFrjcg
"And wouldn't you like to help her out?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UIOIeKz7M
I was frustrated with the questions. "I would. But if she didn't tell me, then maybe it's not that serious."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWNyoNJOwd
"And do you really think she would?"968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOiM7zSSjq
I thought about his 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj1UqXN4KJ
question for a moment. He was right. Some people wouldn't tell the truth968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUQXEcBF8d
just to prevent the ones they love from getting hurt. Maybe that's what968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIznzCaZKjM
Zoey did and I was too silly not to have realised it sooner.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sSyQ4eiVp
"You're right," I said as I looked at my hands on my lap. She wasn't the only one who kept secrets.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxdcE8MCpU
"Have you tried talking to your brother about this?" I asked.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEVAdxWVF6
"No. He doesn't know that I'm onto him. And knowing how he is, he isn't going to tell me anything."968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgcxnIzKbw
I tapped my fingers on the table and I took the glass of water that was next to me and I drank.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkpmR9pJWo
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.968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoccoCCQkJ9
"Before I go, tell me 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRV0aiEf0h
all you know about what happened in Paris," I said as I looked at 968Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX5w8WlYGm
Derrick, giving him the eye. "And don't leave anything out."
