Sunday was quiet and 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAx6ldkRSKFB
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHELf1Dn2oQ
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1104Please respect copyright.PENANARKtK8KXLL6
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1NkyBY1bHd
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAOalVv6t7bP
Last night, Zoey moved 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAwTsAhLUm3t
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1104Please respect copyright.PENANARZ5urKuWUQ
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3pNwk4cZTJ
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjRwYJtyKiW
talk to her either.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcklREV2kal
And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAfvW9PvtrYO
It so happened that 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAoJAT7bsjEs
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAMePTzYU4XP
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGLdXmQgCBg
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6j3kx4AfBq
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAwKT6yvAFxw
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAMHArWwQJOe
Now, I was sitting 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAuul9YQUuuj
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAiXq3XGfzFW
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1104Please respect copyright.PENANAY3Xgpvv2BH
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAgLsylEuORO
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGDTW6tVjNL
I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAvCMrhoPhPx
"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAi0eXesGy7X
"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAlIyXMWCjI9
"You heard me," said Lee looking down on me, with an annoying look on her face. "Are you going to sit here the whole day?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjS0xZn9rDK
"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAwtNHPfC0qV
"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8AM5KwQbQV
"Lee!" I whined, putting1104Please respect copyright.PENANAeYIQoPdvDH
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAsBxnDOprdb
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAytczWqYM9P
"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUcbLjF8idV
"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8kLoHywTWW
"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAPis9fJT7JW
"Why? I want to stay here."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA4RQAjdQmzW
"I need to go and shop 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEPXrJ68c59
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1104Please respect copyright.PENANATE0pBHul81
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAMDYUoJj3kY
"But watching YouTube 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyUsPUN3Rnt
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1104Please respect copyright.PENANACdYSThzp6W
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAaOXmSr90eV
Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAzhwi0iw6h4
"I think Lee is right, 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAR2qT2zF4XR
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjqyRpn4ZeD
out on Sundays like you do back home."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcnGSRlywhO
"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGmHl8GuQVl
"I know you're a fan of 1104Please respect copyright.PENANASTf85JzI7s
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUKb6tS8yCE
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAbr7bbQ6L18
"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA59CwCqgC9C
"Well, that's what 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAF3ZRJdBjEe
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAddUOa2n2XF
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAhP1APnQCfB
"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA85xL0PdOUT
"That's what we are 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA7RSbjdfNIg
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAomxCydnZwq
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1104Please respect copyright.PENANAs9IumXQe45
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAKWcBqZcXxt
Daniel's right. I had to1104Please respect copyright.PENANAAoPyLCPVJv
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEkshlZuzBs
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA2Xea83yXHy
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1104Please respect copyright.PENANAwd8iLKsOLx
Unlike the others, Lee 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA15v49NMhIx
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAPoyJZsqVUN
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJhjo3uWhaf
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmhXXUWKzF7
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUcC4CV2G0N
and Zoey together.1104Please respect copyright.PENANARAOj112hGP
I really wanted to tell 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAsRqmLi1cmP
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAYc7pSOsGT8
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1104Please respect copyright.PENANA4ayPqL49ro
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1104Please respect copyright.PENANArpC5hLaCYV
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAautzsPz32b
When was I ever going to change?1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUTaUnNXqz3
"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAijRfUHeHOO
"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8vrUViaZxy
"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA7MIvP28lnG
"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcv1Daq188p
"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAbaBINMYVQn
Lee, Mike and Daniel 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6q5AI7O1oR
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAn4Ik2hm8tj
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1104Please respect copyright.PENANAzNBfaZYwjp
my room to get my shoes.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAsxIkfP2YTJ
After I wore my white 1104Please respect copyright.PENANANfNocPCV0U
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3bvOf757eH
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAzfR3lMeRwK
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAdWE52H22go
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1104Please respect copyright.PENANAinUka9QO1p
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1104Please respect copyright.PENANATk1KHSNRN3
"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6DwfVKis79
"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAQY92t3OAyZ
I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6Y4s4sYXYG
I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAijrzQPyATL
"We can go, now," I told her.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAZHRAw7auJ6
"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWJgJ2j1nij
"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAzZgyuyBONe
"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVoUnPeoRHe
I smiled back at him. 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAK3Nc22P6Xt
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAvRlqppgBLb
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVdJG5IUuFW
guards in the other SUV.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAtgU5cASH1d
"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAOU02SgWDsZ
"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1104Please respect copyright.PENANADNffOifCl6
"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAo8Xxiilfuz
The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1hxTjErifT
"So, where are we going?" I asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAwhA9jIe50q
"To the mall," Lee answered.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ3Sz3fbrl
"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWqx5akgr3N
"What's wrong with the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnKZ4gcZRYF
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWrdRnYQ8gL
best plans just come out of the blue."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAPhsFdzG7iI
"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyKtXvp2CUm
"And waste the day away? No way."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGmVwwe7M2c
"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA0GdmtxLwAI
"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmVDzPFie2n
"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAFt7GYcf5L1
"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1ks0pIIaFO
"No. Zoey might have 1104Please respect copyright.PENANASuB1qqEHYn
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAZUcPApKf8X
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAaY1C3oSEYC
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAdHkT9tRnMf
"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAG8J6F3ANdi
"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAdRtdFLOIbz
"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmOQgGSanBd
"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAx5LdXgoiLC
Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkwxI6hZ2sH
"I don't know what to do1104Please respect copyright.PENANAXYzEcddZ8o
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1104Please respect copyright.PENANArN9Cog6fvJ
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1104Please respect copyright.PENANAip7J8HM28D
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEuYijKvIuh
somehow."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAtJj05zd9ad
"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1104Please respect copyright.PENANALE2fNpjbxB
"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1104Please respect copyright.PENANACk4NbOyyoS
"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1104Please respect copyright.PENANALmPGzHlRGC
I folded my arms as I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAZU3lWDaduU
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyaSu6skAbJ
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAOJS0cziNsP
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUAQvCTW5qO
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1104Please respect copyright.PENANABV7uTzWIMn
We soon reached the mall1104Please respect copyright.PENANAi33aLtIHOr
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAQaqET30bbP
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAKh2kYpbWXv
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmhoXBBxVx7
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1104Please respect copyright.PENANABlsShtZtvH
the bodyguards were around.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyRlBSvYWcw
Lee and I first went 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA5PZZi9Gtux
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1104Please respect copyright.PENANASnYc1F6p64
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1104Please respect copyright.PENANAelKb49LGuK
a while. I was having fun.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9pXcJbyjf7
And when it came to the fans, some were brave enough to go past the guards and come take photos with me and take autographs.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWAkdnEEbmf
Lee and I soon came out 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAdCJXuXki6g
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAXYkTcWy0rI
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3Lk6y2PBHT
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHZQImKhFhJ
our bags because we bought way too much.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA37z3sVyMew
When we walked out of 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA0TG4KhFtuT
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAuGuvSIvFQh
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAASOmtHjVvR
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjQUsm1lDLz
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkGLWxnMxob
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAO1V6SQ2pPt
I couldn't answer Lee. I1104Please respect copyright.PENANAPlTR7TtN8I
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAZWMd5Hy504
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1104Please respect copyright.PENANALmK8voQQIl
"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1104Please respect copyright.PENANADyTgwYyLjC
"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAu9a2Vpxhot
"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAZSepyrgR5Z
"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEcU4u4sJJK
"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAxUYsv29HkL
"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHATg8GeEhg
"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3kFbvKPKwv
"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAinibjy6Ccp
I looked at each and 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA2h3wVPZrf5
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAtcHaxWeBTV
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAXOMmO7QaXC
"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAw2ju6e8yXZ
"What?" Lee looked 1104Please respect copyright.PENANANdoPONB4lW
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAzj6ddNefRJ
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1104Please respect copyright.PENANADrk76floIZ
panda."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAbkrdkr73va
"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjv4FuW7k2f
"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAvjElgzwqbE
"Derrick's brother sent 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAvoHlSwNSzY
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmHe4GCnKNb
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyzWxgJw95H
bear."1104Please respect copyright.PENANANc3ub3Fk5w
"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEAnwKX4umo
"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA7DBJIGyUrg
"I don't get it though."1104Please respect copyright.PENANASLAbvHrmsU
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAdSiNLDbBQJ
so concerned about that small teddy?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA4P0fjv9RKC
"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAOqbAjGSwpc
***1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJehOc958Jv
Zoey's P.O.V1104Please respect copyright.PENANAefzwZ3ZCIY
"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1104Please respect copyright.PENANABVoZTfCwxU
"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8M3ec2mVMF
"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAde6NgMGXOQ
"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAfGjx9HpkDv
"How am I treating her unfairly?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAxYoSPNRuEc
"You moved out of the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHACOLWE0KS
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA0cie8IezJm
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3rlroafm9d
of alien or something."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEnTPHFTsuW
I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHxguIW6lLe
In a quick flash, a 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAs22o0iBmHz
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANANseaBj47Tv
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAiYX7F27paf
"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAovbSblI78N
"Do you want more of 1104Please respect copyright.PENANACUhKADIvOu
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1z7UJwUWDv
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAFBbKuvqG6N
"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1104Please respect copyright.PENANADlfXZd5Abk
"You got that right." 1104Please respect copyright.PENANATfaL9mLjEa
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1104Please respect copyright.PENANAccAaGluZp2
ignore her like you're doing forever."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEV4179Lkh6
"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAQOJVZ8cZTE
"You know that sooner or later you will need her. And besides, she is always going to be around whether you like it or not."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAOSUKxLdYNV
"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAiK138zMapQ
Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAafRbVu19bz
"It's normal for someone1104Please respect copyright.PENANAbEmVM4Kj5R
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEWfi53raXN
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8TYPHNwffo
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1104Please respect copyright.PENANAH2w6G2HXnd
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjTyWiHJPG7
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6kMMuqBB0O
I always hated such kind1104Please respect copyright.PENANA64Yq7XQkOL
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1104Please respect copyright.PENANAhpjy6g26xm
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1104Please respect copyright.PENANAtDw8eHUrrI
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3p7gHVLUEp
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1104Please respect copyright.PENANADguoS7OWA6
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAs1jDeERIrl
nothing.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAy0SQ7A13Gh
I've never told anyone 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAFSmbT2Wp4P
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6GOXIFTiuj
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6COi5CCh7k
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAqLoHQReTa6
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAlwVVNA9QR7
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA48KofbMNQu
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAA01DbMqOKF
I am Yin and she is 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGBDQTKnMLv
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANACPUB2UzR3g
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAubHsi2KgPH
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1104Please respect copyright.PENANAc6G7itp0Wr
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1104Please respect copyright.PENANANmzJWel3GF
And now when I needed 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA0wexIhWX1g
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcG2nSpaqMT
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1104Please respect copyright.PENANAzoalHqpRrR
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAIA0C1QiWxv
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAArrNFw6Er2
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAOoca1B1mxt
It all begun when I went1104Please respect copyright.PENANAtGrEcxEeDn
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAc84qa96RxQ
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWUn17S5UHc
this mess.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjtBtB2uDYi
We were having so much 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmbXCfdtGxa
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1104Please respect copyright.PENANALoZDnNn25l
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAtVhZN2DWfo
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1104Please respect copyright.PENANARvzkshEfId
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA4UsuSugCwp
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1104Please respect copyright.PENANALUFe8KnTxl
things did go wrong.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJIvMrDd6Ze
As we were watching the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGQKUuRWmhB
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHf8kf0ncPj
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyLX0J3TlK3
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAAlLK7bZfjq
When I looked at him, he1104Please respect copyright.PENANA874MlopR2F
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyiOzIMoiIT
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAPdYpvzmYXQ
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAQrvFifEfUb
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGMY99aLEBy
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAhCDXvnSrzT
After the show when 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAddiCFAmB0n
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1104Please respect copyright.PENANACXSMsI3kJp
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAk3Y4tJu9eF
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAPABiyct0ZQ
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnB8W7ahkIi
take a few minutes.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJySzhT71nu
I didn't find anything 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAYllI4DIpfi
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWp3ehcyyzu
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUxvh9pH2CX
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA66ko1d32w6
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAToUh8T34Re
too much.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA5PwZWCbYbD
Jehan led the way out 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAO4FviZHXVl
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAzccEUQFbSH
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkE56AGAoER
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmRCGHO4Xh7
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAKQA2JbXQjp
that I felt a little safe.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAidgoKd9cOp
The two of us soon found1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyHhOuw0w5A
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAC6Qiqh5Bba
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANARBeTVbZpAc
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1104Please respect copyright.PENANArbvXgFdO1Q
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA2gAeSLK5et
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1104Please respect copyright.PENANAy1qYWPit2Q
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnuW5oEj7SL
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1104Please respect copyright.PENANAaXS0uwCJii
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAMYNIeOYz9o
menacing.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAiwjk2pCcP3
He gave me something for1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHHsWDJhoI0
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1104Please respect copyright.PENANADLgEypfYED
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGJOfnF03l3
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA0pUs6F3xue
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAeEn2sBFqJZ
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ7DXye6O8
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyj3EHfEYD3
Whatever he sent me that1104Please respect copyright.PENANAAxRU4xeoSZ
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAwWVe8aVLaK
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAK4SfQiSdrL
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6L2ftxu5CR
happened yesterday.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEf3Oc8BBKH
I had never been in this1104Please respect copyright.PENANAt0A8ghmlXK
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1104Please respect copyright.PENANA0CXaE5HMAX
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1104Please respect copyright.PENANAbBn0PTvVBI
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA5DPgVhKOzF
crying out loud. I had to do something.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUiR35a35o6
My phone rang bringing 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA2UVYdaehSV
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAstXiGv3Tt0
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUVcA4ZHgqx
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAew3nTIZq1D
"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnk1GS5bvRT
"I...uh, ya, I will," I said as I picked up the phone and answered the call. I could already feel myself starting to sweat.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnGmnGP61NP
"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAsAdcT3BsCC
"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAlaY7dmOOoD
I would have told him to1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1DGxhthJ9w
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyAvbsILmlG
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJPn2YPz1jR
"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAs6GCaA1Wvf
"Looks like you aren't 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAzyKArlpG2n
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWyfyKnQvK0
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9SfYfwfv9j
"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAaU07XFNOWS
"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAzF15rkUkIi
"Just get to the point, 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0XfeTHpbF
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAXECfag6H63
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGMKJim5ytB
"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAN1yU84Utm8
"Today? Are you serious?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAfhNMyLo0th
"You know that I am. We meet today."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAShA6fh23to
"But where?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANASCEJZ4dyHK
"At the mall."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6V1piShL9H
For a moment I almost 1104Please respect copyright.PENANACngPxXxOU3
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkr3W2BZIzu
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAxAmzNiToYp
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAZOUAVmJjIx
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjPQ2RHVvvq
"What's so funny?" Jehan1104Please respect copyright.PENANApG2gqbFHaf
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1NfVaRPETa
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1104Please respect copyright.PENANALpISl9wPn3
myself.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAKjWdDb9u8A
"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAX2GxqbtNJO
"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcMAW6Wk7V7
If he thought saying 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ3roVrY8f
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1104Please respect copyright.PENANAxNvVeJYc3k
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAt2ReTLosbx
"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1104Please respect copyright.PENANANT9BDxsZex
"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8GTbfccWaN
"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAe9cXgX5t4I
"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAKhSLX0IGON
"Ya, sure."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAiPGubiJObd
Jehan didn't say 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6LEYboGnbM
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9qnC2kLQrE
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjQJTOUuGlH
Typical.1104Please respect copyright.PENANACHO53CZKRP
"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6qBSs3khOk
"Oh, it was Seungri," I lied. "He wanted to see if I was free right now so that the two of us could hang out."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA7gXK0fAqcR
"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAQAnIOlyc9I
"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAQnnVCfhKUU
"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAzGqN2eCIi0
"Why? You think I would?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAOKxTg7NnoW
"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1104Please respect copyright.PENANASSWVGCcM9q
"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAG34ObFbzxC
"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyMo1VPMrgU
"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVoEETMesR3
"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGuK6y8SfnU
"That one. Where is it?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAXRGJHGjmW9
"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAvVT8QH83GV
"I just want to ask if it's still around. That's all. I hadn't seen it ever since we went bowling that other day."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1ePoMQiZKq
Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnkCbOIt84a
"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcQI89kxGoB
"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1104Please respect copyright.PENANArqohgFXITM
"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAxcYtPZVH04
Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAXMnP68Pc4n
I quietly went over to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGD83Is6jQP
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9BkPDGMxEf
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1104Please respect copyright.PENANAg4EXmtgAqP
soon.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA7hYIsQiaE3
I came to the drawer 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9jezZqu9oR
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1104Please respect copyright.PENANACOPx4eC15k
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1104Please respect copyright.PENANATk3BFqu7Yh
I looked at her bed and 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAZmj1IcbqW8
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAw3WOXHQlkU
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAoeB1Ge17nA
"There you are," I said softly as I took the teddy. "I think it's now time for you to leave once and for all."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAw21ycngCZv
I heard the tap in the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAaTY7xqKhJd
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUb0U39qzCM
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEbeHfAdH1j
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAfEDOfHLqMm
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA2VLk1lbfFT
***1104Please respect copyright.PENANAqlVytERtsN
Sam's P.O.V1104Please respect copyright.PENANAQqEnMSLcoa
"Do you really think 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHKxXWoU0bO
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAFOV5JmOO4Y
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAasf3ZazNuo
"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkwgFMakS1X
"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9MXcDZXRIb
"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAlCazZNsXdA
"I hope it's not drugs."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1qInNJYjo
"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkRiYUHsdwq
"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1104Please respect copyright.PENANASLM8lfyeKh
"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1104Please respect copyright.PENANABnRxYgvFie
"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8LtbBEzgs5
"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3o01NPleRN
"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAf3rqYtgW2L
"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA62mDv9uNdW
"She did a pretty good job on that one."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVaYwkOOwPB
"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAwDOyyNqgrV
"Zoey."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAchFOHrmR99
"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWT6CbETb0c
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1104Please respect copyright.PENANANcIkKsYoFA
they couldn't because of our little fight."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAYAb087lYMM
"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAIKZAbybZzy
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmlDYffVivn
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z2Pd00pwt
I raised an eyebrow at 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA0y3CkLvOGV
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAx3sjeu5Ddx
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA60fx9aCZ1Q
"Shoot!" I said loudly 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVWW017FxIq
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAPUrTM7fp85
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAK4QlX8nej5
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWlnLkgqsnM
"About what?" Lee asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA90nH1flDhn
"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAD5NeHcRjtm
"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA2dI2uBQhdS
"But today might be the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAacBRHzyeVq
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAP0jxVSdqN0
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAP6fX5el0m4
"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1104Please respect copyright.PENANASB9dujpVxC
My heart rate quickened 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAZRZRg0prar
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1104Please respect copyright.PENANASzZsiVLXM3
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1104Please respect copyright.PENANAKpWT929o9S
"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1104Please respect copyright.PENANACcMWV2iWdI
"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAfIjACPQq3X
"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAxXcQwWCzJl
"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ8RDNk7SD
"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJglc6g9ZeH
Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA5tS3fbX3hk
"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnhPdCBxhSv
There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9CZm0kAGZX
"Alright, thanks, 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAOAGjCqgi3t
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAFsg1xuCDE2
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1104Please respect copyright.PENANArcCTJ70cpA
Seungri."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6rxXhsvAcG
I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAupyPgql1Bm
"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAfgwYNfwhHE
"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANALmtE0aW4Pi
"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA4X4m44IKTB
I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAikFw7Bdv7O
"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANARMwi2mz9z4
"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcY8L0Ue3zy
"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAlgcHbVfXE0
"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1we3VpzlZG
"Yes, I am." I could 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAi8d3h2XtTr
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAhTLWyy37sN
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVoWlsfNr13
perhaps?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkV91xZdPS5
I rolled my eyes and as 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAgU1Yq1fDx2
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jjjlqvk2e
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8GrdICIyEn
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAssIwx0Gk22
"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAfiu3waOnTg
"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAlx9Yt7Yeym
I bit my lower lip and 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAibPLWtD1Ju
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAROvdpcx9nh
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAzGGeivURDz
"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjHtERB970t
"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAXCpefVHeeI
"I'm at the mall with Lee."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAaJZOQ7gzCJ
"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEmHf3hCcJ0
"Bye."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJJjBsdUBnF
"Bye, my little kitty."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyIt22ESykj
"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAvbuZRW8lct
"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA0JZ1GlmreE
"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA935rYUn3Bi
"Nope. And he isn't 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAIxHgI47nXU
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUOFxXD9kI3
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAllg8WmKQMP
"Oh." Lee took her smoothie and sucked on the straw. "Umm, what are we going to do now? We have to know where Zoey is."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAly70Ojn56i
"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUBStM8YPCr
"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAL0hdSabHIS
I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAefaQPBECrd
Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAPCtIFfk2Oc
"Tell me about it." I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAPIoWk8Ibmi
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEtG6iUL04w
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGUDJVfX5RU
"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1104Please respect copyright.PENANABXXe2hzeeM
I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAS7tpdjz5wG
After we were done with 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAxxnjLLWJzj
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAdyztAK3SIg
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVtTSnHaiw6
As soon as we walked out1104Please respect copyright.PENANAwkmyKS98uP
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1104Please respect copyright.PENANA5gWyoAkmgM
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6E32Tp5xxm
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA5SCeXSK0sy
looking black suit stepped out.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHM8nqFtYLG
Time seemed to have 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA09xf9nFzZO
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1104Please respect copyright.PENANArJekr8wUJk
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8X49jodpe0
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA4wHVyza6dX
something familiar about him.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAQkICHe5nV9
Just as I was about to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAgfvfMfNchw
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAtDKNbWNphu
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkNKGSA01L9
I almost tripped and 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAydGFM3GSnf
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1104Please respect copyright.PENANAIqXttDLHlH
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAILUA7u3WzQ
me from falling.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAAMArgkiNte
"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAojoAmI7YBg
I didn't say a word as I1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1SozxbGuHB
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAQe2nnK1Luu
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAdHiKQzoJEa
"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAwBd8iWsT3S
"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8LvlJCGuEl
"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1104Please respect copyright.PENANADSZyXuRAyP
"May I please know what's going on with you?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1nOJMpXXFP
"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJr9SpoSWbh
***1104Please respect copyright.PENANALPUBo1PmBR
Narrator's P.O.V1104Please respect copyright.PENANAV7zXUc007B
Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAXX38unPQbR
"Hey guys, am here," 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVzO9MGYu1z
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAMnvJOBtfD2
look downcast as though someone's just died."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyLsSvoGknE
"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAaqHVsddJ8J
"This is getting real 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWxrUQlXPjz
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA962h2IrNHz
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAy5HbdXlAw6
her or with anyone of you."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAgbtxo8zZpf
"No, I think now is the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANABA3V2YKfzg
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1104Please respect copyright.PENANASYczjgQgSs
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6D2APoISrG
"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAIUSe3UaPnA
"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAdKMdju045u
"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1104Please respect copyright.PENANALcFOwwjEoT
"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAx9Gxo8Aotl
"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAd6S9StjAaD
"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAs2yTdQ4Vso
"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3REKeqxV47
The others rolled their 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVw8ZD6JAZU
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAII4gt8tivb
around and now wasn't the time for it.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1vX1I4GEAk
"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHxsRpbUUfd
"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAaeYYnQY3x4
G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnYc945cx7D
"Well, maybe," said 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAXjMYsh4nSV
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1104Please respect copyright.PENANAXdkjlGix6N
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8Og6YGDbPV
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAaWHu7YSZTH
"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAQGV1xYfFTT
"When I saw Daesung and 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEPG34p42oV
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1104Please respect copyright.PENANArSiiI1rb6U
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1104Please respect copyright.PENANALx1p55fp8g
"And you still are," said Taeyang.1104Please respect copyright.PENANApZVYyKOFRH
G-Dragon didn't answer 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA2hbXoW8Hg6
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAMF2XUxjbKd
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkufsGWSFhM
"Oh, I get it now," said Seungri, as he looked up at the ceiling. "But I see no reason why Sam could be in the wrong here."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcjZTcg30my
"What do you mean?" 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAfrP65bZ4xm
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1104Please respect copyright.PENANALwYmUjpHls
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAT0cNP8ieiw
"She was just doing that1104Please respect copyright.PENANAlaBP7E8wkG
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAU9FZ4k6J9h
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA00TarxbKfu
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkcfNKvVq5K
be together."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAfBDhOR3s11
"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1104Please respect copyright.PENANADzi2jmI1wI
"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA2XisWeegxK
All the four BigBang 1104Please respect copyright.PENANApbl8hvlY1W
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGnjf8n1oql
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAQXdXO8c6nR
heard him come in.1104Please respect copyright.PENANASFSyRVOoxD
"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjw3q0A3Y8T
"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWyvMcmi5Mr
"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVdnNwuT20e
"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6fCuNJipf3
"I'm not going to stay 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAz425hN2yh2
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAzGpzjtGzfq
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAqfOWf7kib2
"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJJVMj590st
"No, I don't."1104Please respect copyright.PENANALqmx1m0C0W
Before G-Dragon could 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAaXsRoInKMf
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1104Please respect copyright.PENANALQ6cdIlwCF
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8bjRYUcJIA
"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAK5mPjaRNhl
"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1104Please respect copyright.PENANABL99cwSN1Y
"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAbvXi2fWJqz
G-Dragon folded his arms1104Please respect copyright.PENANAClKdI81n30
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1vnZiw2DYf
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAsra9Ux1PV4
stared at the ceiling.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVHA0mLF6Q8
"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA2tVi4KH46G
Daesung came into the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAvilad8QRL9
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWf6pvKN3pV
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAaggxmCsg40
"Look, I know you're 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyuxHQSzwiX
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1104Please respect copyright.PENANARivk0vwoVl
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA41cKNWeOvA
never told me anything either."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmO6HsFqYPc
"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAoFlWkh9Hah
"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1104Please respect copyright.PENANARJQ8ITSPzs
"Why?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAebioX932Jj
"She just felt like it 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAvASG6UypoX
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1104Please respect copyright.PENANARPcmDJfRKh
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1104Please respect copyright.PENANAYex9TRWqwl
long distance relationships will ever work out."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3OTToqfpKJ
"Then, why did you kiss her?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1MY089CWX9
"Because I know I'll 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUWG10u0keL
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcoFFtb61M5
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAf5BgdvccjV
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA2Caa9JaKwz
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAFoBe0zN4dU
want to hurt anyone either.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAI2s8AAmswl
"Maybe that's why she 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAhTQfBv0K1H
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1104Please respect copyright.PENANApeHek8sO1W
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1104Please respect copyright.PENANAIWsZx5PB2p
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1f9IPYIFGT
"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAMVaeQQQnAD
"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUrcNOHsIiG
"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAdTtXRlsXfE
"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1104Please respect copyright.PENANADOkUo0YKXT
"I know."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJk1Rw0I3Ip
"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAC7wrhhEXq2
"I'll think about it."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcAgZYAIUUX
"No, no, no!" Seungri 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcIuNC8aorH
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1104Please respect copyright.PENANAoWs8Sb8INu
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAxGDYK96bsa
the mall."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAniNchG5TCv
Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAhF8z5yb4iE
"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA7Yhkd4cAYN
"Ya," said Seungri, 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAbB6rLC9eNV
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHUhSkTaJ11
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAh6paD4Xacq
"No way! I'm not going to the mall," said G-Dragon. "What am I going to say? I need more time to think about it."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAxXpr331odJ
"There is no time to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAsQQr390o3w
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAb6RhXiyU5m
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVTOuoNzPRP
"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAxiVmM6Iw0Q
"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnwrmwlQvEN
"We're your best 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjTo9KhmUdl
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1104Please respect copyright.PENANACQfo1HHPlb
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAQLlEvHmURx
"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAtL5RiahZG1

Zoey's P.O.V1104Please respect copyright.PENANANMX5tW0x1L
I came out of the black 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA0gijxEdetq
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAx5uvAL6ojC
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmBdWM1Fq8N
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAsd9cfYiiAl
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAPC5hYE74eN
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAFg2Ty2q4t9
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAf2pNp0kh6h
by my fans.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAlUs4kJoJKc
I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEzhkdjgXEW
"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1104Please respect copyright.PENANApxwMt1ok1q
"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANADw8EnrVrfi
"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAuMZYmyl1x3
"Okay."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAtMPQ5ZE8pe
"Did you bring what I asked for?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnGrTKm7jJd
I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1104Please respect copyright.PENANASafO5RJXDL
"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1104Please respect copyright.PENANABYA9JgFnFl
"Well, I'm glad you 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAlxC7DuDXTi
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAf1gygDi31C
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAu2iA8f5HKY
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGGEvMdxSGz
lot smarter than you think."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAXl0wU7JCuW
"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA5a7db1Fb8T
"Mr Grumpy is such a 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAPEngLKWB0H
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1104Please respect copyright.PENANATypHZ0Tt5q
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAIy2r5P4obV
When I went into the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAhNh1SaFJwW
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1104Please respect copyright.PENANANt6aYR12il
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA54azZE91wh
I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVYJ2r26uDT
"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAzbgyQTPBBh
"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1104Please respect copyright.PENANANLNNEDjRvL
I shivered. Despite his 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHBqGYkbECM
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1olwNz2OZs
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmzEOsznSMC
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAKrcRFQhOMZ
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyfloOWTB34
"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAScvu2MhTT6
"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUA1d3GT9vD
"Why do you need to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmwsrqTzbH9
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1104Please respect copyright.PENANARJG35BsaV7
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAoqVGXn4zA8
"Well, I need to know 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAxjppHHRmVf
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAbZnRwk3hTy
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAMa8Xief5iG
"And tell me, why should1104Please respect copyright.PENANAm2MpKCPvZm
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGqT541Cwk3
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7hUjFFjSA
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnT29gZylJI
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAvm54l56DZm
"I...eh..." I looked him1104Please respect copyright.PENANA5sm5Z4Thni
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1104Please respect copyright.PENANACpZgwbobPv
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAqfXlXJHIn4
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnoWD8u1VpZ
the kind who would send such a thing."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnx6wxCSDuB
"Oh, really?" Jehan 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAV61lDW5raA
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHwuSj3IlVH
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVEpDv2xAev
"I don't know." I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAfBtpi1xiqq
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAIosjvvMYn4
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1104Please respect copyright.PENANARdV4sY2ib3
up to?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAv4eLYJlXef
Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1104Please respect copyright.PENANANkopKkTFLJ
"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA7l5z45lXMI
"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkjDagaUiUL
"What's the matter with that?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANALSpzIbFqaT
"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA2d4Fb3hbpU
"Don't test my patience,1104Please respect copyright.PENANAw4XrTUaGko
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAlTqnY5JwrR
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEnYToCqXXK
think you deserve to you know."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2FndJ7ISB
"Well, yes, I do."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAns2d1zMnFH
Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUUysGrQ60d
***1104Please respect copyright.PENANAzmXiGbGupi
Sam's P.O.V1104Please respect copyright.PENANA7ydVQ3WR5K
I could see Zoey from 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAaANBnejwok
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAoBN4KTWBdE
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1104Please respect copyright.PENANAoIUMKiU9gx
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAvts3GNJz0u
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAsYb3W2MC2R
I was entirely grateful 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkgwA9hmaPK
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJPYqb8YGCS
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAludzICU8iZ
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1Svr6wCu5L
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAtNxrVLnNg8
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAFinAglK2bb
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1104Please respect copyright.PENANArmTtUL28wW
"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAsCdHOfPyji
"Believe me, he is," I said as I looked at a nice beige top on a hanger and then took a brief glance out the window.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAPP3kzz2vO5
"But how did you know 1104Please respect copyright.PENANArbgKkA2iNm
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjLU9ocmJCv
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1104Please respect copyright.PENANARhSwzoIrSr
"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1104Please respect copyright.PENANACBLuZUOAdN
Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEZ81XumXtm
"Well, ya," I said as I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcb9IEenOhw
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWmPKsQ774e
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAlXZv9bl2Nt
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAlCGix0rYnC
Lee turned to the window1104Please respect copyright.PENANA62tcEuMWQ4
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8WDGTgnclS
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAMapihDrUqW
"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcsYstGu8AI
"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAci2Y7z0wOZ
"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAlQpYrWqHhJ
"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWOw650T8Po
"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA26oP2K41jL
Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAqSZz7LL27e
"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAN3yao2hzK5
We made sure to keep a 1104Please respect copyright.PENANANMUOvW1YJv
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA99XBBBSYv4
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWBFgFLuAgX
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcBUK2k2KYV
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA4sak04zxgx
They went down the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANALIiRIXucBu
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAk5iHNdPis3
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAeycGrCqkwy
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAIZY0BSCWAn
They were led by a 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUwHlcA3O4R
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAOcpg1r9eP1
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAfgfImgjaGN
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3aTDzeEQZb
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcbHqGyXk1h
restaurant.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAxqVzbvOxsx
"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAURFWjiQkbq
"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9DD1zTkXlX
"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAt5bkevDo3o
"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAw8dXHuXnQf
"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAagEXrwpNUE
"Me neither. But what to1104Please respect copyright.PENANAb3xXSm3U32
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1104Please respect copyright.PENANADwfooosY82
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmUEwPPcdhY
I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcwZb1Zagls
"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAoqEVGtps9J
"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAE1CT2gJ0AO
My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAz1nODJ1z6O
"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAO8aAFHBW31
Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5Dosy40Xh
"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA7ds6SJ163c
"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1104Please respect copyright.PENANASFjh9V5Lqf
"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAK1CBIdOhWU
"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAqOSzdymhgC
"Don't worry. Seungri 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4D2BrOc9M
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAuplMIEqUmK
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA626OrYgTW0
and she will know something fishy is going on."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAwQOT7X11JL
"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAshOvBldo4O
"I hope so too."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEExP4YBTqJ
***1104Please respect copyright.PENANAKCMPsdJ0C8
Zoey's P.O.V1104Please respect copyright.PENANA5eNjtHFmAf
I looked at the menu and1104Please respect copyright.PENANAclK18lV1ya
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGl4UGT1g1y
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1104Please respect copyright.PENANALGMOzEwm39
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZvL8ukv11
looked up at me.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAAJP54ukWfx
"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAtje4jtTxPn
"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEoHyDqPLPg
"Why?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkqEjuknIq8
I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA87JepFs3ro
"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAV9TWVZquS5
"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAp43RT0frQg
I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAFKOVVQ3kca
"What?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAoQCYpcpWD5
"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1104Please respect copyright.PENANANNphFteNzy
"I'll try not to next 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9uPLT1dszm
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1104Please respect copyright.PENANAzpKHc8de1b
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEtvW1HJaFv
"Now, are you going to tell me?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAaq31saJbfc
"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAOkINpVDTrg
"Not tell anyone."1104Please respect copyright.PENANArL37bs9IK4
Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA0y3W0DEDJ8
"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAYhUxaEc5SW
"I smuggle diamonds."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjrN0UlfnSz
My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAbmq7ttnJC0
"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAK2cyBJKuee
"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAv2m84NKMwi
"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAaKeIXeVaMJ
"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA74p6lFWgyx
The waiter came with our1104Please respect copyright.PENANASgBAiUcV6r
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAYo1QmJrkda
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1104Please respect copyright.PENANANUvp4RCR4c
"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAIpkOLFB7gk
"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyve8jJNPC2
"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3miT0FdmEh
"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAMPXbSCW33c
"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnYxYgUSFzJ
"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGTf2GJKHSY
"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWHU4JQMkZq
"Is that why you're so rich?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVvAVr91Bdl
"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJvVwBPSqBD
"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA0ESt0LmnyC
Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAFPeV9ToQEZ
I gulped. He was giving 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAspOfSpnn3D
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1104Please respect copyright.PENANAgcsDDhJeZq
manage to get out of this lunch, alive.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAh0vtm3xvb5
***1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWacaS1zp7k
Sam's P.O.V1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkHo36f27oc
I was waiting by the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8PSuboIYKg
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAfb03kUe6Xa
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1104Please respect copyright.PENANABMZBlQHy2D
car? What was he doing here?1104Please respect copyright.PENANAl1o5wtMGFr
Seungri came out of the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1R9gdkRP3C
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1104Please respect copyright.PENANADKbd4eCKul
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAUcjLywB0V9
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1104Please respect copyright.PENANAPKY85LRDpX
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAO4nirf4VyC
what I was expecting.1104Please respect copyright.PENANASpj615fSMv
I trembled. What am I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6QRRx3Yxir
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3xDxnYz35o
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANArUDWWgFHBS
give Mr Teddy away.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAT089fKQAlY
"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAfxwkJlJZjL
"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnoYnV9RBTQ
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAhANMOrsClj
"I, no....I," I didn't 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAhspfiSRRje
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6ngKcSSWqf
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJzy1PvuW0g
"I was only expecting 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9pyFp6DJwG
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA5HHyynJAwM
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAFAyz3RU8JJ
seeing the two of them together.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAevbyxmWxW1
"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1104Please respect copyright.PENANATswnxLYMyI
"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAj2ZfUAN1RN
"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1104Please respect copyright.PENANANZgm70eNSo
"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA7jbN2UwPA0
"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3JMrZoq7aQ
"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9JOhCRmsQX
"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAfw5zkeJGgx
"Come with me," I said 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAKZFSnRbI9i
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEgzZ1kFrXC
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAgqqpmrxi18
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA4TyGMGBRec
When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAiBZpTjUQmu
"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9veZbcAHwe
"Hi, guys. You're 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJOGKRwLtCI
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAuT8JBXVPG6
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAdyLNcYwtQt
"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkUJdnDUtSI
"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAg6hSv80wES
I could feel Lee's eyes on me and I could tell she was scared of telling them the truth. So, I had to do the talking.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcCbXajxTQa
"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAsq39EQrS6V
The five BigBang members all nodded their heads.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1sSNW9XJ2f
"Well, if you look into 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA2Useh8Rx1x
that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAsJQ00uKVzV
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9ytuEcYgG
The five all turned to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAxh8aepcQWR
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEcDZtMjTmr
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAF6YnSd7Phb
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAP3PG21d80U
"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAW8xCHLH0oN
Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGt4MifbGlX
"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANA0NGeNAsGbF
"Yes, I do," said G-Dragon looking through the glass window. "We met him at the fashion show. I'm surprised why he is here."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAlipZ7hO5P8
"We were also wondering 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJbyROlX0CB
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9HxekZ7Aq2
them, but decided that I would rather not."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3ziLGoKzOM
"Why?" Daesung asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANApgbWADyFr2
"Well, Zoey seems to be 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAlLQJiMHfhc
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA4U5xWUp1o3
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1eZlADLqOy
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3UtcUt2GRN
"Aww, so sweet of you to think I could solve that out for you, my little kitty," said Seungri with a smile on his face.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAs0WpeQUUQm
"Huh? Wait a minute," 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAjmfRD0KwHK
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAe1PUrcZen2
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAakVJnaXSbM
"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAMi63xqEjaf
"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAKsrjQvYfYo
Everyone turned to look 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA37sRRUEfKN
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1104Please respect copyright.PENANApMTg3TNpWt
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAj8VIrp5EAp
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAk2h3LNBPe5
"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAdWmowmfnUf
Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1104Please respect copyright.PENANARJicwjJZJc
"Here you're now 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA36GUyZHswn
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA5rUKcqvl5L
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1104Please respect copyright.PENANApHLxrxcL7C
"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAIZlzcLLCKD
"I'll talk with G-Dragon1104Please respect copyright.PENANAYrMCrKzZY5
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA11iA7xSAfh
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAQQTiQPYFWn
something, quick.1104Please respect copyright.PENANABo2dI2ca2i
"Okay, fine, we will 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGYxzmKr9xI
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAInluOhh34y
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAYG1EBmqiiu
Yes. Finally. I thought 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAoWg2hmjwqF
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAKVsiZEinzY
everything was going to be delayed.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAnHWl9FVkVr
"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAYOUOQKgyiz
"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAM8yJqEknMm
Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1E1OkaFXIg
"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAb4CEVMgeGP
As much as I wanted to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHbMdkQakd2
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAZl3aDgF45i

As much as I tried to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAugFmwVqDn8
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1104Please respect copyright.PENANASTUGU3OHyf
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA98O8OkPcNJ
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGPPGLslFx5
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA4JUpAGQvHX
"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAbaPxG8bS03
"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAbjiUb5hekP
"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHaWGSgeFTx
"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAP9yFqCEziE
"Looks like you're getting all worked up for nothing, Zoey." Jehan got a napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAL5Or6KxdfH
"What do you want me to 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAXknqnD5APQ
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1104Please respect copyright.PENANABmhh13W9Px
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9iF7h561xL
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAqtp8RifiSo
"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAwKEIYJV63S
"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAgmMWzH8uod
Jehan shook his head and1104Please respect copyright.PENANAIKwR9cBMMw
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1104Please respect copyright.PENANA2kCxvrd35s
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1f3BtCljAU
annoying."1104Please respect copyright.PENANADBsNCrevU7
"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAoAjXCuU2DQ
"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANABvkcrbg9QD
"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3g3Lz2rZ5a
"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAoHKs2NhSQ9
"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6MaX8IrzzV
Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAo1QHMDL6ta
"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAvyWHebBeMI
Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAqaXnPhTIww
"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAeI7GPWUTRo
Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAPjDH53aHP5
"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAtRVNmfiTAh
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3UwNgoSKzX
"Yes, for real."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAm3vRDkVfpO
"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAtx5omdMJaZ
"Yes. Maybe we will meet1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyL8SIiHRkp
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1104Please respect copyright.PENANAKNO4o2lsqS
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1104Please respect copyright.PENANANJMYwBTlPY
"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAMj9vDbFFsx
"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGIom1fKrSl
"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAFA7jC7WgTr
"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9qtBDcLWBC
I took a deep breath. This was it. Once I give him the teddy, it will all be over and I can finally be in peace.1104Please respect copyright.PENANACwiHdpDcuL
Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAXTz0TDei35
"Zoey, hey!"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJQApiX7tha
Seungri? I quickly 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEQjk6WWptv
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9HwdmVZySj
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmijQ88NPAR
here?1104Please respect copyright.PENANAyxYwu7PXrW
They came over to our 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAkeLmC96cOQ
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAHhLlMguYxZ
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1104Please respect copyright.PENANAw5dhcaBhp3
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAd3fCOqSyxH
to do now?1104Please respect copyright.PENANAy0k62pkA8Z
"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAIMLYrXmWel
"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAM9n8AbGFMM
"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAGKvl8BmUiB
"Jehan."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8zCGBDaEvu
"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ui8fQnSOt
"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA1TKDc2UTDh
"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1104Please respect copyright.PENANAxqPOYNA3lA
"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAm5STqzpXf5
"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA8FaKqgxz4z
"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAAmR1Yw9pBo
"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA4RMwiuJgwR
I almost spit out the 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVzO7IMGRpG
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAoHuujJ48aV
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmPPcWcZYkK
to water.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAn6x9eJg53a
"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJxbct793Lo
"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1104Please respect copyright.PENANAxfIRjmjhkZ
"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAgWv4VhYkbU
Jehan looked at me and I1104Please respect copyright.PENANAsRYgqObYHb
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAK7ksVLJr1x
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAtDnyTAM0QP
"May I ask what you're 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAJVOBjqRMDb
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmJXiX3c35v
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAOtskpYZVUJ
"Oh, we just came here 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA9w7IF4COjf
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAprnu6yZFd3
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1104Please respect copyright.PENANA3muVCpwimk
"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1104Please respect copyright.PENANADNa1YwjGww
"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAOiRCNLd8kX
Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAIkJNL3xEX4
"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAA2yicVmFgU
"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAfk9N4xShZd
"Yes, we will," said 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAYhQboaZuft
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1104Please respect copyright.PENANAmiml9Wj3dt
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1104Please respect copyright.PENANA6sFLhillEC
"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAcQXUUEiHDY
"You too," said Seungri.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAWA3cCY9ep4
Jehan gave a small smile1104Please respect copyright.PENANAVIQ0zb3pAX
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA2VN5iQ8n3H
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1104Please respect copyright.PENANA7F168lJGij
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1104Please respect copyright.PENANAFXOGyFYbg8
"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1104Please respect copyright.PENANAMvFZRg1e7B
"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAC6oSskL4rM
"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAO3BcceFKEv
"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAX588dUHne7
I wondered how I was 1104Please respect copyright.PENANA05WygHEbSE
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAvQxO3cgaGe
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1104Please respect copyright.PENANAo0dgCcuQWq
head until I give the teddy bear away.1104Please respect copyright.PENANAEsLgyegijx
This was just great!
