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 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EA3DMWI6G
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6t5beF8eg
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohrTBFgZ8d
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAc9pkn5Pe
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Cx52cwaM

Last night, Zoey moved 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKMFBK1fb7
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFTDY5y9G0
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVFA7WLKfc
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA5LVfHNKq
talk to her either.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcof4WqjUZ4

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOvjgccJKE

It so happened that 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs4grmUnPb
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfymgym6Fua
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88ddvkPn31
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWqu9YsyNk
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wkY5EMf7M
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArdT7f1jNi

Now, I was sitting 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDIWCxHIhL
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlINiEB0duD
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgkjP2vwee
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LItKEkzg8
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt4DewbyLY

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uoIts5InO

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGjICSDS3r

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpaw6oDWHh

"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?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBECiGwiF5

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTbP8L6Sqm

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnhAte3Lv5

"Lee!" I whined, putting1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHPGVUguAf
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5qT1d0W6L
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnj9nH5cSn

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFyTPXO28c

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ93eYLbvB

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjrhxEbcwM

"Why? I want to stay here."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCooa1rLj3

"I need to go and shop 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW70OD9Avj
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrYVyOIJEA
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRx1wErFFz

"But watching YouTube 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3ndW0DizQ
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnqups7Fqg
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3koLZQY7V

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomUlVBoqcX

"I think Lee is right, 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R5jFZc16u
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyLhBH7sVD
out on Sundays like you do back home."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjUQRn3J4A

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrS9mtS1DY

"I know you're a fan of 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ466aLkHMBY
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGtLoGMQxQ
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yXZQ7vtbo

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuEIv997mA

"Well, that's what 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73qatUTVZb
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0dwh1zihl
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4PHLx87h2

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbtLvfYWJf

"That's what we are 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3HsGJKDVU
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSatuyarve
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLenceEQVgQ
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4eHlo86rG

Daniel's right. I had to1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1LpUtfMRr
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y7jwcaKfW
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspXa71Zy7K
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSTaT8jruF

Unlike the others, Lee 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66v0OKUNjl
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAkfwd0w66
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIs8DqJlN8
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHscW9lObQJ
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGCDZE34Ee
and Zoey together.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC7nTrYBkm

I really wanted to tell 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRMaoGJJV9
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKijYjg16t
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E87huSgFl
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN9LB8wCgD
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq8c89lqIR
When was I ever going to change?1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J43LsFya6

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9YIZZKa0Z

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4treJ4czqw

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfA0bHgWji

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DbQTdDydN

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR7D6va5CK

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU08OEwtjNg
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51R7fLUURQ
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfafr1XFZ5b
my room to get my shoes.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0OYafbcRG

After I wore my white 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5dOK35BMb
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyu1A6UK0Q
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cj4dVUNbc
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELvhF7AlRc
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qkmgJTzXo
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrhKjAcS2H

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ115C37WZPb

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpSAMraILO

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHPBPEDzYc

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGI5FZzxbw

"We can go, now," I told her.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbEQxPpo8v

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4knafyqwlW

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVThEzliUd3

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIMtJWElr5

I smiled back at him. 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kmcAcsxZz
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dgHkhVz1L
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeK0h41cD6
guards in the other SUV.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xQMx3ILts

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOWtkPbrLS

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUs1AH1XRY

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5Vbjbpab1

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaAK1PeEgQ

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYArK4sF6bz

"To the mall," Lee answered.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLN74fngqK

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9Pim5Qtp9

"What's wrong with the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlpRgMyzDG
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29x7tasWG5
best plans just come out of the blue."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0f6fqJqa0i

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1XzS4cWNU

"And waste the day away? No way."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbWLH5FJYL

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l9VvsRBN1

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSYiXimNvw

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Nl2cZa8v

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOXptJHE60

"No. Zoey might have 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82KQXOtPlj
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBC525PBGB
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdxF1JdzZp
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7sjrN0eLz

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEbNchbl5Z

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXLGb950mi

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvWsyL7Jrw

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEuS3ffPZh

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz2ylfEoNU

"I don't know what to do1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ702L3NbXJe
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyDU0cu438
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsEOtrbpwQ
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCdeO8c5na
somehow."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7xCXy7Mkm

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5J8M0aAhr

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGoNnUjS2f

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbGKrwB1jt

I folded my arms as I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AyLrj3XLz
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqKNVVxGb2
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7yDksjsR4
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTsq2hvKAl
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm9PWRJA3R

We soon reached the mall1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudxQguwLqv
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpSwII6BPo
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPtsuLhqtN
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJo03y2ota
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7hLDBbyiL
the bodyguards were around.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpDnHJp3rf

Lee and I first went 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oiIe66pIk
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTcdhblBWD
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFgITPsemo
a while. I was having fun.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKchucFoeJl

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.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5on2k4RcJ

Lee and I soon came out 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM1VVhaqX2
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRXKgXtfGx
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViCHrmPIUx
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT25eGjI78R
our bags because we bought way too much.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYrArXuSj0

When we walked out of 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe4iLioz5G
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vxMrJA4jp
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OqZtDy7iP
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpCXLLd2OS
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWCC7ReLTz

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS4TjgoecF

I couldn't answer Lee. I1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPOWFUrYvJ
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPLiH4zeGE
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1f72r7rRh

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgeFhhG5yf

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNpCBf3BBU

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVMj9HjDgA

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5dMHWxuFr

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC7McGDta4

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQObIB1lBtu

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLO6sP0iiK

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7mOAoOneN

I looked at each and 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBBfMlwWC6
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdY7EI582M
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6Sxjx0XDA

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7fU8cj7HT

"What?" Lee looked 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbIElOqbGq
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBl9R3QdME
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvoq9ZHTo0
panda."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXIcdLGLPd

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYONNDUiMEC

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyVz8vr3Gf

"Derrick's brother sent 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPsPzN76JM
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIBGz2QmvF
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aXUPkcSwP
bear."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFWuQD7S3S

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2lvhsQvVz

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa3uoMatKV

"I don't get it though."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJ3OVQm4Wp
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW1tG4R5vt
so concerned about that small teddy?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZeKxWxjTi

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhHJt5tgQY

***1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjDYULv1Ae

Zoey's P.O.V1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8rKKH7nrg

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21wkPYExHb

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSeQq6q8Qv

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouD2yoO4KH

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn7OSzLJ5X

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93p5uS6EO2

"You moved out of the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiIMkGolpf
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RvUBJ9bxG
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHG0WLwVey
of alien or something."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2fo43REl7

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fsuwov7tU

In a quick flash, a 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjReWtVoAJ
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymmGu3VIGE
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyULK5xIdW

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO0xnUtrqX

"Do you want more of 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTi8yrDCJa
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DZ6Ks4wXz
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAGMVTrTKR

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvHAuy4AJE

"You got that right." 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWITdiDBdX
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCx0F013cL
ignore her like you're doing forever."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QmNklFmXE

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwBu7YP1Vm

"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."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcan9B9wp0

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhSQk9WE8y

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQApNZynDk7

"It's normal for someone1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ylxBp34kI
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P5gCS2taG
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdZDrnxzLp
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKmgaRFl8x
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yfxn18LWX
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtbwnVrN8v

I always hated such kind1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpazIDP1jYi
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0g22heth0
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46IUCUDHaD
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfI9SJLcDp
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21yQZJbRla
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbrW71XDNL
nothing.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJExS4YAbq

I've never told anyone 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcJf8HgVth
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnKZz5FDMw
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LH9izjj4S
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCSL0q5XkW
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0Qnr4fbPu
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFbEo31wRV
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvRtz9YyFb

I am Yin and she is 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIWzc7V6vU
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMSZ02DiCl
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRWnX0gR99
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbReBOY9Ak
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa3dcVTnrm

And now when I needed 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavTufc7uwq
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyTYoXjcB4
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiiuTL6Iie
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXurgIl0GU
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4YAeQbiCR
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnv4PwwTGuy

It all begun when I went1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ587D7DWzZ1
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmCYstjo0p
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR7q6a14AW
this mess.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWaXI2KwGi

We were having so much 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh8gFGK5km
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCJYdtwCGa
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETusQJl5Ut
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGvgZWg7Xb
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT23OvN9Dez
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQPnvRFwBa
things did go wrong.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4IlnHVdAq

As we were watching the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl5CGGmCVq
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQHDLQmyqi
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutrrSkN7sn
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvVdro3vPj

When I looked at him, he1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGfRkFacwP
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgAeb01Key
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkKndZbdmL
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3QotZTTyh
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLQt57KuCh
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Kvv3hUJd

After the show when 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMOXMSJ29J
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJMsuvVgRN
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyrQAjExbJ
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTmmG631aY
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgscLigynwf
take a few minutes.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRSGAr6yz7

I didn't find anything 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6oploY3QJ
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYjUZDrg4f
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqe9Nt1niZ
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHabFqZZaeB
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtorPpw7Q5
too much.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcfhz0Yjxa

Jehan led the way out 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMkNapLcJK
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xg193mSC9
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1sRHSyReU
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA30Nlr1XZN
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpPr1KemHK
that I felt a little safe.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5qr8896Yl

The two of us soon found1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJZeU50fxz
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsEgJTw67d
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxVe7OGCVv
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosMAPAMtFE
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9TjisdWDT
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTvIH8VPXX
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6zNxiswAE
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBS49Ao8Wm
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqWI2czKSt
menacing.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6oUNgxle6

He gave me something for1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Tzv0MQiJ
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJMhxVV52Q
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvfFtaFBMc
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4GnCRFJ02
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyb766QYrV
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64AdGQqt58
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWJCP6IZwZ

Whatever he sent me that1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVGGVP6OsZ
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzWAZ3oQy7
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV7zez7ouv
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaF16eQUe5
happened yesterday.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjZFwDKgMx

I had never been in this1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLahq1FMZGq
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJFs22AIvE
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02BNgRZc4m
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7fmQd9DKR
crying out loud. I had to do something.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrDfd2dfje

My phone rang bringing 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0TvO89A2Z
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VYZflqEoU
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HuAaIYRH7
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpF1Oke5rL

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sf3PBJx61

"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.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4tct55pyA

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmhz2htf9H

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyxidVGUCg

I would have told him to1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TqwZxr993
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqvSEUzLOI
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhch5fRfM2t

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf7u9IW6jX

"Looks like you aren't 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvnd3oI1bu
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhldt0OMIMR
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6NwwCrpnY

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyxE3y6Cob

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOreN4gMNvG

"Just get to the point, 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oWCZVbyAb
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZNomE7w51
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhXVad2O2a

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ddaKEhYgE

"Today? Are you serious?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyT27R4CzF

"You know that I am. We meet today."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSP7YAgGHT

"But where?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd7CExDoKy

"At the mall."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZhgspXBcR

For a moment I almost 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SUn6FnGu0
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxXxhd9WYI
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYOmoSzRHl
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff0rOFNcHV
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYgBmSXF8u

"What's so funny?" Jehan1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQAhayfEfs
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCeBoJX72q
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfRlBnGTji
myself.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2fXH5Z4RK

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk4Vpm8Jjq

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9fHl0YiKD

If he thought saying 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkSpdBVqcA
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWPrqJZh5n
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkRPTOMPrt

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vI5RnRamM

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcWfMVX9t5

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjOMZUJU0V

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX4jM13SZy

"Ya, sure."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq4Ht31abY

Jehan didn't say 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lc8X8ioLR
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVpXzouZct
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzOHXDbKl4
Typical.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtqm5Z2iK3

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJVDo2uqGZ

"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."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2i7n1fbG1

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqXUad6DBW

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoYtrTOZ3R

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yFXWP9ZjV

"Why? You think I would?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dLGhCelbh

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QNelGRGMP

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HO5LQPC6x

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMgzlhvH7n

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGS5GtO0pI

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQliUVnFIq

"That one. Where is it?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzmmrFA7O6

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHEJpya1Zx

"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."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjs0UL5Dxc

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IhCDGwAQx

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq709ygEuYw

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nSWC5oL5E

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIXQiEGMXN

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U1r4sZ3KK

I quietly went over to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgZ2VGUfKc
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtgmOVNiSU
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ1dkuq0UM
soon.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdjWi8S0d6

I came to the drawer 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8jGjySrzy
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgRjAosBBG
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScGaiZiU5T

I looked at her bed and 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUUEXgLoX7
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Snjbf0HB
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCYSs89Qtc

"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."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYiwSH1xkv

I heard the tap in the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkRWm6oCTT
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD675cWpSps
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzFhLEguo7
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXp86RSTYL
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwgLX2TozK

***1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAs4lHyMoR

Sam's P.O.V1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zUNaBAmRs

"Do you really think 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6x6QxNHOs
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvsqKj7iN8
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj8nXlQtdx

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzOZB460a3

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4fmdfxd7d

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdIcHuNSFW

"I hope it's not drugs."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0LZyID428

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaN08fuMfV

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5pDPalFpO

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYlolENdKy

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfttkzjv8yB

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO8PkTKsNM

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uPO85glKL

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAre4z1sKO

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U82mpvbyy

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZtglrqO5e

"Zoey."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7erml0y0JQ

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZupX4xHYu
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCimMFl8Dx3
they couldn't because of our little fight."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ9KCrbHNw

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjhXcIs0y8
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMlSZQs6wV
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzIjrs923n

I raised an eyebrow at 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1WqyYqAbp
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufgzP93vNI
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcguT5fep73

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0HejRDjax
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZKyN8yQzF
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcibRPwczX
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob9xiuAnZN

"About what?" Lee asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH441EWuuf

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85p7QZxlPN

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC4GavxQrB

"But today might be the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNCsdwvWlD
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1571TivUz
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8urp0OZLut

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFML38I79tE

My heart rate quickened 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmiiPC5e6s
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNVmXEBcnp
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kVgc4RS06

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YhEvakEJA

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwSAgTjLHx

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4GPUgZYJM

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OnYhqiNuT

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW6XCryg2l

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwSRXXUWud

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4SKptdkbZ

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPOc5VxCtB

"Alright, thanks, 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sxBXj39V9
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9nxupR3Vx
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjO1aofGpP0
Seungri."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWLcaIHpxr

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaKebSLGdX

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWW1QVjUj4

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vmf2RFGdo

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb5XxNMs9U

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs62Ky68nO

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT2DtuvbQH

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROpIfrlpTz

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sAHFZS6im

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyH8eC43w2

"Yes, I am." I could 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaFMa8wCvt
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat3lmvb8dy
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzzj92u2cj
perhaps?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUJEHRLtc4

I rolled my eyes and as 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjqB3SsqXn
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXL9jLN34u
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFLedugTUp
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQAs0xnRiX

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb95gVhTONd

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qQaQUcoPL

I bit my lower lip and 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMIOHOOmqQ
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CROgQpRT1
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQO8SfsJG5

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOjPVEgx7j

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXceTq7HBE

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlD4zLSn3O

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiAZMBOtYy

"Bye."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3HALlx5mm

"Bye, my little kitty."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUr6XT71Cz

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vUnIW5gAi

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTkHitNR3j

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HBJVqraa9

"Nope. And he isn't 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUAnB9zfhj
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TnbA2MtkO
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiLWhvUfPQ

"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."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc9aEjHyNn

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGdo8176ev

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilY8SPzobp

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVcfcjjPZq

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlZLQdCE6h

"Tell me about it." I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY5mCzFqO8
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ieQWFD4z4
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdQItyCtqg

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikyBfWpU5S

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnXpIkwdHx

After we were done with 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunjYAfbBVo
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMSX4xcyWC
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwmZVkVuAs

As soon as we walked out1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylrkYsBG7w
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbZatlYMLc
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBGG2shydC
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkA5lVk2dM
looking black suit stepped out.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqg1dRPcI8

Time seemed to have 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4ruNfKzdp
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKllrgrCqx
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TuzZs1xuM
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIwFhprJOr
something familiar about him.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfLrtATLUg

Just as I was about to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKWZXHTJL9
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcqYszJiSX
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7LfwaU3tx

I almost tripped and 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlntflWjyTY
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfxyPoSwQ1
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor7mfuEgkC
me from falling.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRVglwozuv

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAc6G6RX2K

I didn't say a word as I1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3KzSe7Zn7
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQVB1I5Eaf
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvHkmF7rGe

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2ZCCIry8A

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW690LEY7L3

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9MqDycOlK

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstnrCMICVE

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4mMnwnEnH

Narrator's P.O.V1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5xUFhDmPt

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVb708BzcM

"Hey guys, am here," 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FoiKg31Bt
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc46xOzD3fi
look downcast as though someone's just died."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY7V5X4Q9R

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfsMuyHrYt

"This is getting real 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e6SfJqcWY
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rTfdARLl6
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTmLKO57H4
her or with anyone of you."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozzS7zu8Wn

"No, I think now is the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilDUmdEOim
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oMgnJgXIJ
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqD1Am2V86

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ito5qMpzc

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZTsyuJKXT

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1hvYv4wqj

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWHnw6x88t

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ge7SM3rv5

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPKVQT7LBJ

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyK0lVUmQN

The others rolled their 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9qYeWCVrC
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjwODRGW2R
around and now wasn't the time for it.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD2VxPEMe9

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXtyY2YPQX

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCmC61Z5ti

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwuOBvtbfR

"Well, maybe," said 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kfXwj38RR
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJQ3UqsONy
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKCgdtqHmw
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5ztkhmxAX

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aV3cdrp0s

"When I saw Daesung and 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg9NNkRT1H
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRCIEiBPHh
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8knFfHA4r

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMi54qNA9q

G-Dragon didn't answer 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CUnA3Xcez
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mdQPAuFY0
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefLjHMaDll

"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."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeokEPL80U

"What do you mean?" 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsEgagewHc
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIZskxYELK
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2baVfRbuwH

"She was just doing that1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh28anvNXgd
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPEhs0ZgUQ
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBFwXP6bPb
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87OMBgItie
be together."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4iaJ82LkV

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluRw0e2TNM

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSL7mfZvOG

All the four BigBang 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmOrjsYW7c
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSEriWOVxH
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO2Ft6H7Vq
heard him come in.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ddFL7QF9

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeojmzt7jNM

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOKIrbqy8f

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpozAPRoKB

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P1rCJSaO1

"I'm not going to stay 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmByP55Xyct
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXugxkND2R
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zL9VX4Wqj

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ33wMXPyE

"No, I don't."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X8WHQy3eg

Before G-Dragon could 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf6B311HRj
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq6mOluTnK
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXK9jSPnSO

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCILIegh33r

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGaibIfLrp

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhyniGnL20

G-Dragon folded his arms1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoanDhbm7zT
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBfyVGQj7F
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAsHCagjgP
stared at the ceiling.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWf3wUvuRB

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreGHRZChq8

Daesung came into the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD874nXn6o9
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidx4jsT8z7
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbtzfo3csG

"Look, I know you're 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEBLvZWpFX
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VCP4Q3X53
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uxEHIyuMj
never told me anything either."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoSaSQMU5C

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4LhvqoFrO

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqgMMG6o4c

"Why?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBw9vBVxtZ

"She just felt like it 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusakFtxLFM
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQVPLaFKhH
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw7YQbRo4T
long distance relationships will ever work out."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBialB9O9n

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5U8J4URLNL

"Because I know I'll 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j88kKRoE2
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D9Nppj1c2
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A8GRLbhQ8
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi8oBuQdL1
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf4tSl9a79
want to hurt anyone either.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvc55Ji63v

"Maybe that's why she 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET8v9lg2KO
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8cV9OAhsG
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3xlFScPJC
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28mYkfwulG

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp0ide6bk3

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvZn0MI0HJ

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcSdmYjCpk

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKUl3SNzaj

"I know."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh3h1XIbEN

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUXuAeWr02

"I'll think about it."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcV0rsWz0a

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgrhoQapG6
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eX0AmQ14I
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouRlpIDeuv
the mall."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt1GTSd32y

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIuRydNsut

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFEuEQtFZ5

"Ya," said Seungri, 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW78fUjWwmQ
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxh6zWJIL0
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6YdEPZ6IR

"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."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd6HQvWFX9

"There is no time to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFGZ8Rg8FL
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd49TXEIJIU
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstG91Hh0uh

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCNJib6Vmw

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZuxFn6qK3

"We're your best 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaYFmiO9nL
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVbMGkJ8hb
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtCJlDBGKo

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsoH6AOQNY

Zoey's P.O.V1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBq6bXc71z

I came out of the black 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJJ0YVHqCK
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ToqKtmYix
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo5dyWXV0M
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIrxO2OkbB
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNkd2CH1Xk
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLN7MGRH7k
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlLLYqaEFC
by my fans.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMtixfi7Vp

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9GbGak0C6

"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjyEzMK2pT

"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjkz7mWlOC

"Okay."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc24KDEbsO

"Did you bring what I asked for?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7X6tmZJTB

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxN73btYTn

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBedH5ss8RT

"Well, I'm glad you 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg75CV4Oo6Z

from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViSAgRf0wY
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUcuUaQZZ7

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXshi0VYtPc

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG5BhbcjaT
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAf7ZNDmIR
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fXbsE17Lo

When I went into the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEGYtc5RNH
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWQwlUoFH2
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxj5b1OGQ6

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAjm0rKLNh

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopx2HEflud

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLZvH9mJjx

I shivered. Despite his 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ykeGoGF3
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaQ3kXvTMo
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFDSfkr1Cj
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND3YXQcsgI
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MxFdXAxJ4

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIVypEddoj

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z77WNFzAq

"Why do you need to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpENfg9zBXO
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacQC8f9SNS
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8ErHdB1yr

"Well, I need to know 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pDv3cvOY5
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAQxC2hyaf
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt5uFsyWWR

"And tell me, why should1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoRaReWXxA
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGC8TZ2J3w
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9an4v8xnZ
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMXUNkoXzL
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR5FgizBIz

"I...eh..." I looked him1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB9mhf9TaN
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjwHPfQQ3B
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dx1UINY8I
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU6PFSQwLV
the kind who would send such a thing."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8PXnm8gmL

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOVf8BX6HU
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhi2d8Jam4
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt88KEg6WYl

"I don't know." I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrFy0M5cAA
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Sj9mY1nM
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh15q6a9Koz
up to?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BGucZ8AY0

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1ZRpIauMS

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGVmLZMVIp

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DqtXCs1vL

"What's the matter with that?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18yzwGudg3

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhYrgTt3I7

"Don't test my patience,1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTJI8YnByc
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnR88tiHZI
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYIuKJIaXJ
think you deserve to you know."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK8QSbt4Uv

"Well, yes, I do."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAb3U5WS7V

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeznbjgaQn

***1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KUuCWTSEj

Sam's P.O.V1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomsICfzIHb

I could see Zoey from 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZLdgJTxxq
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnX0EfMudZ
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSYPALO4qi
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV7o3wv2Tz
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDn1URpcXE

I was entirely grateful 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CQrYOq6IG
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8BjSRQHNd
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BmRzrOQSc
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uv8g9MXOa
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QYvMiBjlC
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQYILKt7lk
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWDfUCmfN1

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m1WZP7N0m

"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.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkhSnohmtS

"But how did you know 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb1CXGsf4N
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8G9etOtn2
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCpmB3edF3

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT42fCDha2

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qDaQZEaOH

"Well, ya," I said as I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw18Nu7O8pr
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzepfUlPub5
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe8RdPDZGa
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqam0mi2vK

Lee turned to the window1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWtze2U2no
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXAjIrmWlk
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi01T5t3BmY

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59QlQRZ0vB

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2cVFbvgxY

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVYaJscaTI

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSogxbiD8P

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz19zufk8QW

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lxChx5kHa

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6DVEWqebU

We made sure to keep a 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW9Qznx2Gz
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIrYZrTYNw
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeWSW8mNTW
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFilIzrg28w
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaX2I7rlN4

They went down the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTin8wPEB6t
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WR6Q377xp
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk82cxl40zi
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZhdhPtjDN

They were led by a 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihNqTuezR9
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnsw7uiW6h
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZiS2l3SiW
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6KgpaX6fh
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwMUh36GpP
restaurant.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz4eMTWUmw

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ2De8aM3X

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRhs5ksc6E

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIURGZckQcD

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIEq4A3pVc

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH67TkTlYek

"Me neither. But what to1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nyu82Ymwm
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KwSgWvfVP
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLUmukTUWV

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oY3OwAvsH

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RvzJLtEsu

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UY9Xnkj5w

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0bFrM86XX

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLarosEmau

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczJo9U0CiY

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVP9ZIsgzx

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6uNoIvdDX

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxeqveSB4A

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVIwgucg0J

"Don't worry. Seungri 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvqGI35aIp
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wxiDHoLSj
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrZ9YB07y8
and she will know something fishy is going on."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkg5lcqipI

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk2qqEClMh

"I hope so too."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ctQ8SOI75

Zoey's P.O.V1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAslZuPbdeF

I looked at the menu and1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdH145t3Ph
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViSxdJkx2C
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTDAM9avXM
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDzG0Pp712
looked up at me.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeKU3WEcUu

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgB0Ib53Ug

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvwNnqtZhv

"Why?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMo9aA54vk

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0IVCQ1xxm

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWh0fT8nnh

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T0l2AzL8B

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4bVtKIuQv

"What?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjPLykC5WQ

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj3kTajfnL

"I'll try not to next 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn3ntw4N5x
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1larGqlE9
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfkwW70Fwl

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YpUodpDsM

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8mq2oddIr

"Not tell anyone."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoci7IUSOS

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GbdVjjn8N

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v6Khzeluq

"I smuggle diamonds."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CDLryNqeR

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kXLjA76Rx

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHr0jtNzeH

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf4q4OBxxB

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURDTUHcyW7

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9aeSW92DW

The waiter came with our1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwqhWATwuW
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjX5or9R6S
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52DMfYUEuj

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnxE8dJXrN

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKloKvbjKz5

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKjHBHMGTb

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTGb9AOQ0w

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbcXw8Ebkf

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrwZY5MuqW

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC2f1pk99c

"Is that why you're so rich?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDB9T7f9ER

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0rV3mv5HO

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyTOlEm1Sj

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCW7evXLuO

I gulped. He was giving 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvV15S3bKM
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcaE1PI5Si

I was waiting by the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPbnCDNwJU
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncyn9UER4r
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoNqEdgT2n
car? What was he doing here?1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOHgcQqnvK

Seungri came out of the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7EtB9y0Oj
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUP6LbOJja
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpsShHfsuj
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnGUEARVHf
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwpMRG2L6C
what I was expecting.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5DADOKxqr

I trembled. What am I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvSYcbmpIX
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtgl9YQ37W
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSvDJ9ALAI
give Mr Teddy away.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgAoxKuG0N

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMsysJGeRG

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vdonNbgIa

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxlMQ6hku7

"I, no....I," I didn't 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid3nLWOtiQ
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2q5GNXgiA
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsufzuwd9Qr

"I was only expecting 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNE9aAPS07
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeINkpO3TDq
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuvEQVzTLk
seeing the two of them together.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tdXlDoijB

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcRX1S2rDa

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfD0ZGhHQE

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYATAobPdJP

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmr8aTbngd

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsklN9etHRr

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfgjhtYITJ

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqBqdbk1MS

"Come with me," I said 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwilTTGNqS
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJulrZqbziO
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzU1ONEnJ0
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFurcrw12G7

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcEVoGws8G

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsAju6NwZR

"Hi, guys. You're 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyNGGfyoHb
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDZNSMDoOf
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76abPqcoay

"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AWdrbyzNv

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNBlooD8xA

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.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7CxYnTfv2

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4hDjexzM9

The five BigBang members all nodded their heads.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKqdImdkij

"Well, if you look into 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAVWsPU8bg
that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxkRBovJdk
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqfEY6hnn9

look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLT1dNLkH8
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11vhnulkHj
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkG8Rk6Ifg

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2fPaNwsqB

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpMgshGnFY

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtCJGjBDwJ

"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."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj1Bkpe55p

"We were also wondering 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOsEsGZH4n
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi8EB62jo1
them, but decided that I would rather not."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM786ahb1V5

"Why?" Daesung asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRigdLzVmd

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnE3nM40Pk
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL9KmYDCX5
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroMqkXThjb
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdPQ1YXoGs

"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.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfna6tulayq

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXqIaZvIYF
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCQPmblpN3
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFdLrJdHWw

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4NLRjUQXl

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8l8a4N9xv

Everyone turned to look 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpGRRhgCv3
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvRpCvxI8K
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfIPpDAPBp
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfr9cHN3pf

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEBvQLDWZe

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTE8zTfyKI

"Here you're now 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0gFZqnmI7
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGekmCvIFJ
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0Ag8MVzrE

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pxWnFbvQB

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0avFP91otC
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRbjO1KNUs
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqizxs2SeNl
something, quick.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsOSOn4AgO

"Okay, fine, we will 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21Klk44tPj
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bL49WdeOJ
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBRnb5KZbI

Yes. Finally. I thought 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmPUUdYmqC
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoEw5IU2eW
everything was going to be delayed.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VOqHhwIcQ

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZDC5QboCN

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNoz3RoxhZ

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDcIPR7hVL

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJbnsUg7fc

As much as I wanted to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eIGItusPK
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt69JcFOPIq
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLnBQM5ExW

***1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzWF7Pr0tn

Zoey's P.O.V1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrmnszsD1b

As much as I tried to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM45WjZ9rVf
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkuGA95GC7
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHD8EMK8QZ
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oWEtTJQ3m
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RhfhjZHVv

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xQ1uwUIZr

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRXMdsx66P

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsqjnghyDJ

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsuNCKWbcE

"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.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT0Uhv0R3W

"What do you want me to 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVNkhsMiPQ
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCROI264Us
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fyy4Ccqx3
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLFzg9pU23

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj5jihZkFh

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ9FoDGrna

Jehan shook his head and1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡragnbGOF0A
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHBF7Xh9yp
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMnBqtGkFW
annoying."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcWZlabCMr

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQrnkURTEd

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEnZdktsfb

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1gH9YOAM6

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnjALNatb1

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZx7rd8ifd

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhHeCvbhvk

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCCaceGQZI

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh1kTXmhs6

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI1YmagN4s

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhutZwtYZH

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeowasiJp6o

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ4d23IpFx

"Yes, for real."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxqyGZmCs7

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6S4SFctja

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtHZZozzEC
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA18qWPq0YN
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iFRpFJpfs

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUw2l1cXQ3

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY7HH02tUy

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d7TPSJi8j

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliQga3pe6k

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.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWG9iehIww

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzlBVj5GVf

"Zoey, hey!"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSuT5wtWXf

Seungri? I quickly 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjMz9GIf8h
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm4VvU0gMY
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsytZRkn21d
here?1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrezrbbPGz

They came over to our 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xj0L6yDyo
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHGOWrsCji
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmIHBT6MN7
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx2vPZwzkf
to do now?1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYe8eoWtwR

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QufUSeL81

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYbMaeZ18o

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4IqdplbYP

"Jehan."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcNOLsi65p

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XuoTKWLr1

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dbEPqIoFe

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ek1raFNpD

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiBGEL73yD

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0deFFTwLp

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEVHSYPyX5

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWHXF0D0tr

I almost spit out the 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaDyJ21OMG
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvzVrosUeI
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1WMHZtdH7
to water.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgbXYxH4K5

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXignV4YPSW

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQShWeVC8X

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOVY3P5Lmq

Jehan looked at me and I1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiKRPD81G7
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu5NM0h7Fa
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNnB7i8KNE

"May I ask what you're 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLsijwsb3V
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbUFHt1JdX
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi7kDj4dDE

"Oh, we just came here 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlkT2PnkJj
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBQ6TnHsgZ
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLQVSx97cD

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP23ZGaTPl

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkGxK5PvwZ

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh4Z3NxQpX

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSS3D4pV4r

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfazD64Fnh

"Yes, we will," said 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPsCNR1Mpe
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZc3kqjgud
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zeK5BPKIX

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy6LbCtDnv

"You too," said Seungri.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDWQC8iuwH

Jehan gave a small smile1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcelcuz9Qwg
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3rtyxH4MS
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT4nvcAE1u
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hnFpp3RSV

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAkzvmBI7I

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I6YfugUq3

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Sw6gmDz0

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj47liFVlmG

I wondered how I was 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H0LAW7dd5
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpK4XyUvCr
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVyoiuOtvW
head until I give the teddy bear away.1134Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH68ydJrgI4

This was just great!
