Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 21: At The Mall

Sunday was quiet and 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6ldkRSKFB
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHELf1Dn2oQ
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKtK8KXLL6
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NkyBY1bHd
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOalVv6t7bP

Last night, Zoey moved 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTsAhLUm3t
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ5urKuWUQ
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pNwk4cZTJ
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRwYJtyKiW
talk to her either.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcklREV2kal

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvW9PvtrYO

It so happened that 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJAT7bsjEs
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMePTzYU4XP
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLdXmQgCBg
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j3kx4AfBq
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKT6yvAFxw
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHArWwQJOe

Now, I was sitting 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuul9YQUuuj
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXq3XGfzFW
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Xgpvv2BH
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLsylEuORO
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDTW6tVjNL

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCMrhoPhPx

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0eXesGy7X

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIyXMWCjI9

"You heard me," said Lee looking down on me, with an annoying look on her face. "Are you going to sit here the whole day?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS0xZn9rDK

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtNHPfC0qV

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AM5KwQbQV

"Lee!" I whined, putting1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYIQoPdvDH
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBxnDOprdb
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytczWqYM9P

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcbLjF8idV

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kLoHywTWW

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPis9fJT7JW

"Why? I want to stay here."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RQAjdQmzW

"I need to go and shop 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPXrJ68c59
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE0pBHul81
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDYUoJj3kY

"But watching YouTube 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUsPUN3Rnt
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdYSThzp6W
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOXmSr90eV

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhwi0iw6h4

"I think Lee is right, 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2qT2zF4XR
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqyRpn4ZeD
out on Sundays like you do back home."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnGSRlywhO

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmHl8GuQVl

"I know you're a fan of 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTf85JzI7s
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKb6tS8yCE
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr7bbQ6L18

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59CwCqgC9C

"Well, that's what 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3ZRJdBjEe
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddUOa2n2XF
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP1APnQCfB

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85xL0PdOUT

"That's what we are 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RSbjdfNIg
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomxCydnZwq
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9IumXQe45
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWcBqZcXxt

Daniel's right. I had to1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoPyLCPVJv
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkshlZuzBs
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xea83yXHy
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd8iLKsOLx

Unlike the others, Lee 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15v49NMhIx
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoyJZsqVUN
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhjo3uWhaf
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhXXUWKzF7
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcC4CV2G0N
and Zoey together.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAOj112hGP

I really wanted to tell 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRqmLi1cmP
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc7pSOsGT8
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ayPqL49ro
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpC5hLaCYV
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡautzsPz32b
When was I ever going to change?1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTaUnNXqz3

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijRfUHeHOO

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vrUViaZxy

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MIvP28lnG

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv1Daq188p

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaBINMYVQn

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q5AI7O1oR
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Ik2hm8tj
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNBfaZYwjp
my room to get my shoes.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxIkfP2YTJ

After I wore my white 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfNocPCV0U
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bvOf757eH
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfR3lMeRwK
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWE52H22go
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinUka9QO1p
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk1KHSNRN3

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DwfVKis79

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY92t3OAyZ

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y4s4sYXYG

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijrzQPyATL

"We can go, now," I told her.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHRAw7auJ6

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJgJ2j1nij

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZgyuyBONe

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoUnPeoRHe

I smiled back at him. 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Nc22P6Xt
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRlqppgBLb
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdJG5IUuFW
guards in the other SUV.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgU5cASH1d

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU02SgWDsZ

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNffOifCl6

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8Xxiilfuz

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hxTjErifT

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhA9jIe50q

"To the mall," Lee answered.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ3Sz3fbrl

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqx5akgr3N

"What's wrong with the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKZ4gcZRYF
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrdRnYQ8gL
best plans just come out of the blue."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhsFdzG7iI

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKtXvp2CUm

"And waste the day away? No way."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmVwwe7M2c

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GdmtxLwAI

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVDzPFie2n

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt7GYcf5L1

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ks0pIIaFO

"No. Zoey might have 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuB1qqEHYn
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUcPApKf8X
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY1C3oSEYC
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHkT9tRnMf

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8J6F3ANdi

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRtdFLOIbz

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOQgGSanBd

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5LdXgoiLC

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwxI6hZ2sH

"I don't know what to do1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYzEcddZ8o
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN9Cog6fvJ
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip7J8HM28D
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuYijKvIuh
somehow."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJj05zd9ad

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE2fNpjbxB

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk4NbOyyoS

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmPGzHlRGC

I folded my arms as I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU3lWDaduU
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaSu6skAbJ
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJS0cziNsP
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAQvCTW5qO
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV7uTzWIMn

We soon reached the mall1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi33aLtIHOr
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaqET30bbP
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh2kYpbWXv
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhoXBBxVx7
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlsShtZtvH
the bodyguards were around.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRlBSvYWcw

Lee and I first went 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PZZi9Gtux
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnYc1F6p64
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelKb49LGuK
a while. I was having fun.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pXcJbyjf7

And when it came to the fans, some were brave enough to go past the guards and come take photos with me and take autographs.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAkdnEEbmf

Lee and I soon came out 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCJXuXki6g
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYkTcWy0rI
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lk6y2PBHT
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZQImKhFhJ
our bags because we bought way too much.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37z3sVyMew

When we walked out of 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TG4KhFtuT
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGuvSIvFQh
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASOmtHjVvR
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQUsm1lDLz
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGLWxnMxob

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1V6SQ2pPt

I couldn't answer Lee. I1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlTR7TtN8I
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWMd5Hy504
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmK8voQQIl

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyTgwYyLjC

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9a2Vpxhot

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSepyrgR5Z

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcU4u4sJJK

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUYsv29HkL

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHATg8GeEhg

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kFbvKPKwv

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinibjy6Ccp

I looked at each and 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h3wVPZrf5
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcHaxWeBTV
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOMmO7QaXC

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2ju6e8yXZ

"What?" Lee looked 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdoPONB4lW
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj6ddNefRJ
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrk76floIZ
panda."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkrdkr73va

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv4FuW7k2f

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjElgzwqbE

"Derrick's brother sent 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoHlSwNSzY
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHe4GCnKNb
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzWxgJw95H
bear."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc3ub3Fk5w

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAnwKX4umo

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DBJIGyUrg

"I don't get it though."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLAbvHrmsU
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSiNLDbBQJ
so concerned about that small teddy?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4P0fjv9RKC

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqbAjGSwpc

***1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJehOc958Jv

Zoey's P.O.V1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefzwZ3ZCIY

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVoZTfCwxU

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M3ec2mVMF

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde6NgMGXOQ

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGjx9HpkDv

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYoSPNRuEc

"You moved out of the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHACOLWE0KS
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cie8IezJm
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rlroafm9d
of alien or something."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnTPHFTsuW

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxguIW6lLe

In a quick flash, a 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs22o0iBmHz
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNseaBj47Tv
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYX7F27paf

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovbSblI78N

"Do you want more of 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUhKADIvOu
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z7UJwUWDv
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBbKuvqG6N

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlfXZd5Abk

"You got that right." 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfaL9mLjEa
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccAaGluZp2
ignore her like you're doing forever."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV4179Lkh6

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOJVZ8cZTE

"You know that sooner or later you will need her. And besides, she is always going to be around whether you like it or not."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSUKxLdYNV

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK138zMapQ

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafRbVu19bz

"It's normal for someone1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEmVM4Kj5R
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWfi53raXN
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TYPHNwffo
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2w6G2HXnd
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTyWiHJPG7
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kMMuqBB0O

I always hated such kind1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64Yq7XQkOL
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpjy6g26xm
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDw8eHUrrI
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p7gHVLUEp
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDguoS7OWA6
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1jDeERIrl
nothing.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0SQ7A13Gh

I've never told anyone 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSmbT2Wp4P
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GOXIFTiuj
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6COi5CCh7k
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLoHQReTa6
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwVVNA9QR7
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48KofbMNQu
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA01DbMqOKF

I am Yin and she is 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBDQTKnMLv
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPUB2UzR3g
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubHsi2KgPH
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6G7itp0Wr
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmzJWel3GF

And now when I needed 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wexIhWX1g
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG2nSpaqMT
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoalHqpRrR
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA0C1QiWxv
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArrNFw6Er2
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoca1B1mxt

It all begun when I went1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGrEcxEeDn
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc84qa96RxQ
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUn17S5UHc
this mess.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtBtB2uDYi

We were having so much 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbXCfdtGxa
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoZDnNn25l
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVhZN2DWfo
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvzkshEfId
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UsuSugCwp
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUFe8KnTxl
things did go wrong.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIvMrDd6Ze

As we were watching the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQKUuRWmhB
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf8kf0ncPj
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLX0J3TlK3
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlLK7bZfjq

When I looked at him, he1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ874MlopR2F
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiOzIMoiIT
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdYpvzmYXQ
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrvFifEfUb
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMY99aLEBy
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCDXvnSrzT

After the show when 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddiCFAmB0n
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXSMsI3kJp
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Y4tJu9eF
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPABiyct0ZQ
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB8W7ahkIi
take a few minutes.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJySzhT71nu

I didn't find anything 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYllI4DIpfi
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp3ehcyyzu
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxvh9pH2CX
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ko1d32w6
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToUh8T34Re
too much.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PwZWCbYbD

Jehan led the way out 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4FviZHXVl
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzccEUQFbSH
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE56AGAoER
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRCGHO4Xh7
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQA2JbXQjp
that I felt a little safe.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidgoKd9cOp

The two of us soon found1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHhOuw0w5A
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6Qiqh5Bba
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBeTVbZpAc
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbvXgFdO1Q
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gAeSLK5et
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1qYWPit2Q
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuW5oEj7SL
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXS0uwCJii
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYNIeOYz9o
menacing.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwjk2pCcP3

He gave me something for1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHsWDJhoI0
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLgEypfYED
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJOfnF03l3
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pUs6F3xue
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEn2sBFqJZ
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ7DXye6O8
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj3EHfEYD3

Whatever he sent me that1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxRU4xeoSZ
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWVe8aVLaK
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4SfQiSdrL
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L2ftxu5CR
happened yesterday.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf3Oc8BBKH

I had never been in this1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0A8ghmlXK
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CXaE5HMAX
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBn0PTvVBI
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DPgVhKOzF
crying out loud. I had to do something.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiR35a35o6

My phone rang bringing 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UVYdaehSV
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstXiGv3Tt0
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVcA4ZHgqx
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew3nTIZq1D

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk1GS5bvRT

"I...uh, ya, I will," I said as I picked up the phone and answered the call. I could already feel myself starting to sweat.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGmnGP61NP

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAdcT3BsCC

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaY7dmOOoD

I would have told him to1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DGxhthJ9w
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAvbsILmlG
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPn2YPz1jR

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6GCaA1Wvf

"Looks like you aren't 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyKArlpG2n
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyfyKnQvK0
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SfYfwfv9j

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU07XFNOWS

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF15rkUkIi

"Just get to the point, 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0XfeTHpbF
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXECfag6H63
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMKJim5ytB

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1yU84Utm8

"Today? Are you serious?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhNMyLo0th

"You know that I am. We meet today."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShA6fh23to

"But where?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCEJZ4dyHK

"At the mall."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V1piShL9H

For a moment I almost 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCngPxXxOU3
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr3W2BZIzu
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAmzNiToYp
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOUAVmJjIx
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPQ2RHVvvq

"What's so funny?" Jehan1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG2gqbFHaf
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NfVaRPETa
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpISl9wPn3
myself.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjWdDb9u8A

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2GxqbtNJO

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMAW6Wk7V7

If he thought saying 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ3roVrY8f
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNvVeJYc3k
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2ReTLosbx

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT9BDxsZex

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GTbfccWaN

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9cXgX5t4I

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhSLX0IGON

"Ya, sure."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPGubiJObd

Jehan didn't say 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LEYboGnbM
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qnC2kLQrE
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQJTOUuGlH
Typical.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHO53CZKRP

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qBSs3khOk

"Oh, it was Seungri," I lied. "He wanted to see if I was free right now so that the two of us could hang out."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gXK0fAqcR

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAnIOlyc9I

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnnVCfhKUU

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGqN2eCIi0

"Why? You think I would?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKxTg7NnoW

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSWVGCcM9q

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG34ObFbzxC

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMo1VPMrgU

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoEETMesR3

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuK6y8SfnU

"That one. Where is it?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRGJHGjmW9

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVT8QH83GV

"I just want to ask if it's still around. That's all. I hadn't seen it ever since we went bowling that other day."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ePoMQiZKq

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkCbOIt84a

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQI89kxGoB

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqohgFXITM

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcYtPZVH04

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMnP68Pc4n

I quietly went over to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD83Is6jQP
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BkPDGMxEf
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4EXmtgAqP
soon.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hYIsQiaE3

I came to the drawer 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jezZqu9oR
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOPx4eC15k
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk3BFqu7Yh

I looked at her bed and 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmj1IcbqW8
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3WOXHQlkU
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeB1Ge17nA

"There you are," I said softly as I took the teddy. "I think it's now time for you to leave once and for all."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw21ycngCZv

I heard the tap in the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTY7xqKhJd
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb0U39qzCM
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbeHfAdH1j
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEDOfHLqMm
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VLk1lbfFT

***1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlVytERtsN

Sam's P.O.V1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqEnMSLcoa

"Do you really think 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKxXWoU0bO
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOV5JmOO4Y
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasf3ZazNuo

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwgFMakS1X

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MXcDZXRIb

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCazZNsXdA

"I hope it's not drugs."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1qInNJYjo

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRiYUHsdwq

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLM8lfyeKh

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnRxYgvFie

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LtbBEzgs5

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o01NPleRN

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3rqYtgW2L

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62mDv9uNdW

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaYwkOOwPB

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDOyyNqgrV

"Zoey."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchFOHrmR99

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT6CbETb0c
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcIkKsYoFA
they couldn't because of our little fight."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAb087lYMM

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKZAbybZzy
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlDYffVivn
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z2Pd00pwt

I raised an eyebrow at 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y3CkLvOGV
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3sjeu5Ddx
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60fx9aCZ1Q

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWW017FxIq
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUrTM7fp85
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4QlX8nej5
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlnLkgqsnM

"About what?" Lee asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90nH1flDhn

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5NeHcRjtm

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dI2uBQhdS

"But today might be the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacBRHzyeVq
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0jxVSdqN0
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6fX5el0m4

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB9dujpVxC

My heart rate quickened 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRZRg0prar
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzZsiVLXM3
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpWT929o9S

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcMWV2iWdI

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIjACPQq3X

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXcQwWCzJl

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ8RDNk7SD

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJglc6g9ZeH

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tS3fbX3hk

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhPdCBxhSv

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CZm0kAGZX

"Alright, thanks, 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAGjCqgi3t
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsg1xuCDE2
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcCTJ70cpA
Seungri."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rxXhsvAcG

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupyPgql1Bm

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgwYNfwhHE

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmtE0aW4Pi

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X4m44IKTB

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikFw7Bdv7O

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMwi2mz9z4

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY8L0Ue3zy

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgcHbVfXE0

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1we3VpzlZG

"Yes, I am." I could 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8d3h2XtTr
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTLWyy37sN
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoWlsfNr13
perhaps?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV91xZdPS5

I rolled my eyes and as 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU1Yq1fDx2
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jjjlqvk2e
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GrdICIyEn
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssIwx0Gk22

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiu3waOnTg

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx9Yt7Yeym

I bit my lower lip and 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibPLWtD1Ju
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROvdpcx9nh
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGGeivURDz

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHtERB970t

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCpefVHeeI

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJZOQ7gzCJ

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmHf3hCcJ0

"Bye."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJjBsdUBnF

"Bye, my little kitty."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIt22ESykj

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbuZRW8lct

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JZ1GlmreE

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ935rYUn3Bi

"Nope. And he isn't 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxHgI47nXU
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOFxXD9kI3
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllg8WmKQMP

"Oh." Lee took her smoothie and sucked on the straw. "Umm, what are we going to do now? We have to know where Zoey is."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly70Ojn56i

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBStM8YPCr

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0hdSabHIS

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefaQPBECrd

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCtIFfk2Oc

"Tell me about it." I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIoWk8Ibmi
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtG6iUL04w
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUDJVfX5RU

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXXe2hzeeM

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7tpdjz5wG

After we were done with 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxnjLLWJzj
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyztAK3SIg
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtTSnHaiw6

As soon as we walked out1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkmyKS98uP
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gWyoAkmgM
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E32Tp5xxm
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SCeXSK0sy
looking black suit stepped out.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM8nqFtYLG

Time seemed to have 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09xf9nFzZO
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJekr8wUJk
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X49jodpe0
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wHVyza6dX
something familiar about him.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkICHe5nV9

Just as I was about to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfvfMfNchw
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDKNbWNphu
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNKGSA01L9

I almost tripped and 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydGFM3GSnf
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqXttDLHlH
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILUA7u3WzQ
me from falling.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMArgkiNte

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojoAmI7YBg

I didn't say a word as I1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SozxbGuHB
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe2nnK1Luu
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHiKQzoJEa

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBd8iWsT3S

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LvlJCGuEl

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSZyXuRAyP

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nOJMpXXFP

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr9SpoSWbh

Narrator's P.O.V1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7zXUc007B

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX38unPQbR

"Hey guys, am here," 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzO9MGYu1z
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnvJOBtfD2
look downcast as though someone's just died."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLsSvoGknE

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqHVsddJ8J

"This is getting real 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxrUQlXPjz
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ962h2IrNHz
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5HbdXlAw6
her or with anyone of you."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbtxo8zZpf

"No, I think now is the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA3V2YKfzg
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYczjgQgSs
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D2APoISrG

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUSe3UaPnA

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKMdju045u

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcFOwwjEoT

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9Gxo8Aotl

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6S9StjAaD

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2yTdQ4Vso

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3REKeqxV47

The others rolled their 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw8ZD6JAZU
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII4gt8tivb
around and now wasn't the time for it.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vX1I4GEAk

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxsRpbUUfd

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeYYnQY3x4

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYc945cx7D

"Well, maybe," said 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjMYsh4nSV
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdkjlGix6N
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Og6YGDbPV
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWHu7YSZTH

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGV1xYfFTT

"When I saw Daesung and 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPG34p42oV
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSiiI1rb6U
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx1p55fp8g

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZVYyKOFRH

G-Dragon didn't answer 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hbXoW8Hg6
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF2XUxjbKd
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkufsGWSFhM

"Oh, I get it now," said Seungri, as he looked up at the ceiling. "But I see no reason why Sam could be in the wrong here."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjZTcg30my

"What do you mean?" 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrP65bZ4xm
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwYmUjpHls
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0cNP8ieiw

"She was just doing that1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaBP7E8wkG
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9FZ4k6J9h
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00TarxbKfu
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcfNKvVq5K
be together."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBDhOR3s11

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzi2jmI1wI

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XisWeegxK

All the four BigBang 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbl8hvlY1W
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnjf8n1oql
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXdXO8c6nR
heard him come in.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFSyRVOoxD

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw3q0A3Y8T

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyvMcmi5Mr

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdnNwuT20e

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fCuNJipf3

"I'm not going to stay 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz425hN2yh2
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGpzjtGzfq
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfOWf7kib2

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJVMj590st

"No, I don't."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqmx1m0C0W

Before G-Dragon could 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXsRoInKMf
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ6cdIlwCF
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bjRYUcJIA

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5mPjaRNhl

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL99cwSN1Y

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvXi2fWJqz

G-Dragon folded his arms1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClKdI81n30
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vnZiw2DYf
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsra9Ux1PV4
stared at the ceiling.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHA0mLF6Q8

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tVi4KH46G

Daesung came into the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvilad8QRL9
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf6pvKN3pV
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaggxmCsg40

"Look, I know you're 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuxHQSzwiX
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRivk0vwoVl
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41cKNWeOvA
never told me anything either."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO6HsFqYPc

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFlWkh9Hah

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJQ8ITSPzs

"Why?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebioX932Jj

"She just felt like it 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvASG6UypoX
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPcmDJfRKh
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYex9TRWqwl
long distance relationships will ever work out."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OTToqfpKJ

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MY089CWX9

"Because I know I'll 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWG10u0keL
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoFFtb61M5
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5BgdvccjV
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Caa9JaKwz
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoBe0zN4dU
want to hurt anyone either.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2s8AAmswl

"Maybe that's why she 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTQfBv0K1H
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeHek8sO1W
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWsZx5PB2p
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f9IPYIFGT

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVaeQQQnAD

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrcNOHsIiG

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTtXRlsXfE

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOkUo0YKXT

"I know."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk1Rw0I3Ip

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7wrhhEXq2

"I'll think about it."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAgZYAIUUX

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIuNC8aorH
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWs8Sb8INu
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGDYK96bsa
the mall."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniNchG5TCv

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF8z5yb4iE

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yhkd4cAYN

"Ya," said Seungri, 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB6rLC9eNV
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUhSkTaJ11
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6paD4Xacq

"No way! I'm not going to the mall," said G-Dragon. "What am I going to say? I need more time to think about it."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXpr331odJ

"There is no time to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQQr390o3w
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6RhXiyU5m
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTOuoNzPRP

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiVmM6Iw0Q

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwrmwlQvEN

"We're your best 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTo9KhmUdl
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQfo1HHPlb
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLlEvHmURx

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL5RiahZG1

Zoey's P.O.V1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMX5tW0x1L

I came out of the black 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gijxEdetq
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5uvAL6ojC
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBdWM1Fq8N
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd9cfYiiAl
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC5hYE74eN
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg2Ty2q4t9
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2pNp0kh6h
by my fans.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUs4kJoJKc

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzhkdjgXEW

"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxwMt1ok1q

"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw8EnrVrfi

"Okay."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMPQ5ZE8pe

"Did you bring what I asked for?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGrTKm7jJd

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSafO5RJXDL

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYA9JgFnFl

"Well, I'm glad you 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxC7DuDXTi

from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2iA8f5HKY
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGEvMdxSGz

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a7db1Fb8T

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEngLKWB0H
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTypHZ0Tt5q
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy2r5P4obV

When I went into the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNh1SaFJwW
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt6aYR12il
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54azZE91wh

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYJ2r26uDT

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbgyQTPBBh

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLNNEDjRvL

I shivered. Despite his 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBqGYkbECM
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1olwNz2OZs
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzEOsznSMC
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrcRFQhOMZ
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfloOWTB34

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScvu2MhTT6

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA1d3GT9vD

"Why do you need to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwsrqTzbH9
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJG35BsaV7
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqVGXn4zA8

"Well, I need to know 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjppHHRmVf
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZnRwk3hTy
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa8Xief5iG

"And tell me, why should1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2MpKCPvZm
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqT541Cwk3
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7hUjFFjSA
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT29gZylJI
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm54l56DZm

"I...eh..." I looked him1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sm5Z4Thni
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpZgwbobPv
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfXlXJHIn4
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoWD8u1VpZ
the kind who would send such a thing."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx6wxCSDuB

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV61lDW5raA
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwuSj3IlVH
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEpDv2xAev

"I don't know." I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBtpi1xiqq
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIosjvvMYn4
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdV4sY2ib3
up to?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4eLYJlXef

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkopKkTFLJ

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l5z45lXMI

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjDagaUiUL

"What's the matter with that?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSpzIbFqaT

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d4Fb3hbpU

"Don't test my patience,1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4XrTUaGko
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTqnY5JwrR
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnYToCqXXK
think you deserve to you know."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2FndJ7ISB

"Well, yes, I do."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns2d1zMnFH

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUysGrQ60d

***1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmXiGbGupi

Sam's P.O.V1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ydVQ3WR5K

I could see Zoey from 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaANBnejwok
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBN4KTWBdE
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIUMKiU9gx
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvts3GNJz0u
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYb3W2MC2R

I was entirely grateful 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgwA9hmaPK
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPYqb8YGCS
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡludzICU8iZ
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Svr6wCu5L
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNxrVLnNg8
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFinAglK2bb
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmTtUL28wW

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCdHOfPyji

"Believe me, he is," I said as I looked at a nice beige top on a hanger and then took a brief glance out the window.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP3kzz2vO5

"But how did you know 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbgKkA2iNm
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLU9ocmJCv
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhSwzoIrSr

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBLuZUOAdN

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ81XumXtm

"Well, ya," I said as I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb9IEenOhw
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmPKsQ774e
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXZv9bl2Nt
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCGix0rYnC

Lee turned to the window1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62tcEuMWQ4
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WDGTgnclS
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMapihDrUqW

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsYstGu8AI

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci2Y7z0wOZ

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQpYrWqHhJ

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOw650T8Po

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26oP2K41jL

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSZz7LL27e

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3yao2hzK5

We made sure to keep a 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMUOvW1YJv
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99XBBBSYv4
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBFgFLuAgX
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBUK2k2KYV
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sak04zxgx

They went down the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIiRIXucBu
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5iHNdPis3
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeycGrCqkwy
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZY0BSCWAn

They were led by a 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwHlcA3O4R
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcpg1r9eP1
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgfImgjaGN
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aTDzeEQZb
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbHqGyXk1h
restaurant.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqVzbvOxsx

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURFWjiQkbq

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DD1zTkXlX

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5bkevDo3o

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8dXHuXnQf

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagEXrwpNUE

"Me neither. But what to1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3xXSm3U32
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwfooosY82
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUEwPPcdhY

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwZb1Zagls

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqEVGtps9J

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1CT2gJ0AO

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1nODJ1z6O

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8aAFHBW31

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Dosy40Xh

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ds6SJ163c

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFjh9V5Lqf

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1CBIdOhWU

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOSzdymhgC

"Don't worry. Seungri 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4D2BrOc9M
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuplMIEqUmK
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ626OrYgTW0
and she will know something fishy is going on."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQOT7X11JL

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshOvBldo4O

"I hope so too."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEExP4YBTqJ

Zoey's P.O.V1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eNjtHFmAf

I looked at the menu and1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclK18lV1ya
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl4UGT1g1y
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGMOzEwm39
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZvL8ukv11
looked up at me.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJP54ukWfx

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtje4jtTxPn

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoHyDqPLPg

"Why?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqEjuknIq8

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87JepFs3ro

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9TWVZquS5

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp43RT0frQg

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKOVVQ3kca

"What?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQCYpcpWD5

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNphFteNzy

"I'll try not to next 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uPLT1dszm
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpKHc8de1b
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtvW1HJaFv

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq31saJbfc

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkINpVDTrg

"Not tell anyone."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL37bs9IK4

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y3W0DEDJ8

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhUxaEc5SW

"I smuggle diamonds."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrN0UlfnSz

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmq7ttnJC0

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2cyBJKuee

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2m84NKMwi

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKeIXeVaMJ

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74p6lFWgyx

The waiter came with our1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgBAiUcV6r
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo1QmJrkda
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUvp4RCR4c

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpkOLFB7gk

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyve8jJNPC2

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3miT0FdmEh

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPXbSCW33c

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYxYgUSFzJ

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTf2GJKHSY

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHU4JQMkZq

"Is that why you're so rich?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvAVr91Bdl

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvVwBPSqBD

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ESt0LmnyC

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPeV9ToQEZ

I gulped. He was giving 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspOfSpnn3D
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcsDDhJeZq

I was waiting by the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PSuboIYKg
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb03kUe6Xa
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMZBlQHy2D
car? What was he doing here?1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1o5wtMGFr

Seungri came out of the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R9gdkRP3C
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKbd4eCKul
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcjLywB0V9
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKY85LRDpX
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4nirf4VyC
what I was expecting.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpj615fSMv

I trembled. What am I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QRRx3Yxir
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xDxnYz35o
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUDWWgFHBS
give Mr Teddy away.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT089fKQAlY

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxwkJlJZjL

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoYnV9RBTQ

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhANMOrsClj

"I, no....I," I didn't 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhspfiSRRje
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ngKcSSWqf
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzy1PvuW0g

"I was only expecting 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pyFp6DJwG
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HHyynJAwM
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAyz3RU8JJ
seeing the two of them together.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevbyxmWxW1

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTswnxLYMyI

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2ZfUAN1RN

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZgm70eNSo

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jbN2UwPA0

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JMrZoq7aQ

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JOhCRmsQX

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw5zkeJGgx

"Come with me," I said 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZFSnRbI9i
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgzZ1kFrXC
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqqpmrxi18
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TyGMGBRec

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBZpTjUQmu

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9veZbcAHwe

"Hi, guys. You're 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOGKRwLtCI
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT8JBXVPG6
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyLNcYwtQt

"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUJdnDUtSI

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6hSv80wES

I could feel Lee's eyes on me and I could tell she was scared of telling them the truth. So, I had to do the talking.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCbXajxTQa

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq39EQrS6V

look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcDZtMjTmr
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6YnSd7Phb
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3PG21d80U

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8xCHLH0oN

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt4MifbGlX

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NGeNAsGbF

"Yes, I do," said G-Dragon looking through the glass window. "We met him at the fashion show. I'm surprised why he is here."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlipZ7hO5P8

"We were also wondering 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbyROlX0CB
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HxekZ7Aq2
them, but decided that I would rather not."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ziLGoKzOM

"Why?" Daesung asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgbWADyFr2

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLQJiMHfhc
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U5xWUp1o3
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eZlADLqOy
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UtcUt2GRN

"Aww, so sweet of you to think I could solve that out for you, my little kitty," said Seungri with a smile on his face.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0WpeQUUQm

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmfRD0KwHK
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1PUrcZen2
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakVJnaXSbM

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi63xqEjaf

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsrjQvYfYo

Everyone turned to look 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37sRRUEfKN
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMTg3TNpWt
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8VIrp5EAp
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2h3LNBPe5

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWmowmfnUf

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJicwjJZJc

"Here you're now 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36GUyZHswn
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rUKcqvl5L
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHLxrxcL7C

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZlzcLLCKD

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrMCrKzZY5
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11iA7xSAfh
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQTiQPYFWn
something, quick.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo2dI2ca2i

"Okay, fine, we will 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYxzmKr9xI
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInluOhh34y
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG1EBmqiiu

Yes. Finally. I thought 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWg2hmjwqF
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVsiZEinzY
everything was going to be delayed.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHWl9FVkVr

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOUOQKgyiz

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8yJqEknMm

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E1OkaFXIg

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4CEVMgeGP

As much as I wanted to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbMdkQakd2
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl3aDgF45i
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iFH0rjzYs

***1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFujldYXG5P

Zoey's P.O.V1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlgnle5qN5

As much as I tried to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugFmwVqDn8
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTUGU3OHyf
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98O8OkPcNJ
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPPGLslFx5
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JUpAGQvHX

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaPxG8bS03

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjiUb5hekP

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaWGSgeFTx

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9yFqCEziE

"Looks like you're getting all worked up for nothing, Zoey." Jehan got a napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Or6KxdfH

"What do you want me to 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXknqnD5APQ
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmhh13W9Px
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iF7h561xL
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtp8RifiSo

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKEIYJV63S

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmMWzH8uod

Jehan shook his head and1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKwR9cBMMw
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kCxvrd35s
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f3BtCljAU
annoying."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBsNCrevU7

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAjXCuU2DQ

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvkcrbg9QD

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g3Lz2rZ5a

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHKs2NhSQ9

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MaX8IrzzV

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1QHMDL6ta

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyWHebBeMI

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaXnPhTIww

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI7GPWUTRo

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjDH53aHP5

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRVNmfiTAh

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UwNgoSKzX

"Yes, for real."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3vRDkVfpO

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx5omdMJaZ

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL8SIiHRkp
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNO4o2lsqS
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJMYwBTlPY

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj9vDbFFsx

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIom1fKrSl

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA7jC7WgTr

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qtBDcLWBC

I took a deep breath. This was it. Once I give him the teddy, it will all be over and I can finally be in peace.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwiHdpDcuL

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTz0TDei35

"Zoey, hey!"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQApiX7tha

Seungri? I quickly 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQjk6WWptv
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HwdmVZySj
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmijQ88NPAR
here?1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxYwu7PXrW

They came over to our 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeLmC96cOQ
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhLlMguYxZ
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5dhcaBhp3
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3fCOqSyxH
to do now?1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0k62pkA8Z

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMLYrXmWel

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9n8AbGFMM

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKvl8BmUiB

"Jehan."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zCGBDaEvu

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ui8fQnSOt

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TKDc2UTDh

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqPOYNA3lA

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5STqzpXf5

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FaKqgxz4z

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmR1Yw9pBo

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RMwiuJgwR

I almost spit out the 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzO7IMGRpG
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHuujJ48aV
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPPcWcZYkK
to water.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6x9eJg53a

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxbct793Lo

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfIRjmjhkZ

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWv4VhYkbU

Jehan looked at me and I1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRYgqObYHb
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7ksVLJr1x
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDnyTAM0QP

"May I ask what you're 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVOBjqRMDb
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJXiX3c35v
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtskpYZVUJ

"Oh, we just came here 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w7IF4COjf
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprnu6yZFd3
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3muVCpwimk

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNa1YwjGww

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiRCNLd8kX

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkJNL3xEX4

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2yicVmFgU

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk9N4xShZd

"Yes, we will," said 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhQboaZuft
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiml9Wj3dt
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sFLhillEC

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQXUUEiHDY

"You too," said Seungri.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA3cCY9ep4

Jehan gave a small smile1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIQ0zb3pAX
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VN5iQ8n3H
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F168lJGij
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXOGyFYbg8

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvFZRg1e7B

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6oSskL4rM

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3BcceFKEv

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX588dUHne7

I wondered how I was 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05WygHEbSE
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQxO3cgaGe
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0dgCcuQWq
head until I give the teddy bear away.1104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsLgyegijx

This was just great!
