Zoey's P.O.V1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhXHAu3k8W
Waking up this Monday 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM72bGVSzb
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EJOCLccYY
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2A1dRQ2jl
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijd45jTA8N
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IUyMnoyCe
myself to be.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH2699PYEc
I couldn't stop 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zi1EKTu8S
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mb780Z5PJ
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujUNmX6Kyt
feel that something was wrong.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFKL3mKMxl
Could they have known 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YQpSESIcI
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJWZXIAa1r
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJSDRRh49G
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv9qVhLxAF
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNgs649MnX
just had our usual conversation.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTHOT9xzAV
I brushed off all those 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ4lzyXWvk
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR8mehCkxu
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyunqNekbfX
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1f9nutMMA
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pbl23PD57
But now that she wasn't 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIAwCdrh9a
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFUoOnCqi8
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEyZs2999h
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBmMbPreGF
woken up early before the alarm rang.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0XhuBwLEo
I sat up on my bed and 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCjgbmVzHR
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNfLVOIqud
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdCtpXFXNl
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk9fENTJmi
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wkumHxUAy
After seeing her with 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPeVL7JxFR
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLKYeSg2Os
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFkhdoxIRp
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBThyy73hl1
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYleZCQ3Ts2
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ5fJZlTIU
day. That left me devastated.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevmBdkAI96
I couldn't stop looking 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0eCTjsBpo
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7cBDcoERC
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYFZE98iFp
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtltDbNStua
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ky0aBTLnk
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnIXP4VlEC
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMPUX5Fnxp
That sent me boiling to a1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpsJcBXLMX
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN1hdH4r7U
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv93bfZY9l
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqGUreQXri
Christine had told me to1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXPcpHQrkO
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMTf7PCSTO
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8NLsc2fHT
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflAlqoMjF5
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHqiOU8zrN
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffi3gng1UZ
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaLrI56Lit
And now, I had to face 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl8a3mseRT
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYM9WkOJkl
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcSUxMSDcq
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqcCWgbm68
was still so upset.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxsBRkUmXQ
I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdbX4pJxEE
After I was done, I 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q0kgtoQaX
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffJl8fpvyX
others at the dining table for breakfast.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvGVwBWBLt
I found them already 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuGc3utfAo
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2spguvD2V3
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZFpIdbbiZ
I felt a little awkward 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAc5boU0Mg
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH2G70KJZ3
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePm45YN4G9
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0zfmpa6VC
that also felt weird.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhRg1sPpRt
I know that she and I 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OItyFvojB
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqswNNg7iVb
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdSAc7q1cu
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP56jneq8UH
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQvwOnenpQ
like something was wrong.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaovPLT35n
I poured myself a cup of1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja6VoCt7vq
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8bp7321Ui
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97GVtXeQyD
"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJmACi1jDq
My heart almost skipped a1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMnB8VPUlq
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzpHrmgwZm
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNPi5DzY35
too far. I was over here! Hello!1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEKFlOPLRp
"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFxG6Rg1Pg
"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT0CVLyjuH
"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRELqPvlZZ
"I have no doubt about it."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbTJIDNyFB
"But I don't see why you1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUhbBDqSEW
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f4o99ofsk
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaP6KVfM4O
"One thing about fans is1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1hQynAumY
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLkcVUNFQu
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RXtR1pG5u
"I know," said Lee. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdfwHDWZ31
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y5ITlBcN9
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBSd2v3EMR
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYNzjtEttd
"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93q7jj1108
"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5XUB4jzeo
"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgZ5wfOTzg
"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWmcmEqzKb
"Aye, aye," said Daniel.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzRyWfDPBK
"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZKOAOgEUN
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYgMTE0Ykm
"You're just too quiet, that's all."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79lE1qTS2V
"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89xs1OwZaZ
I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj5PZOFyPJ
"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1fcbgMv6Y
I stuck my tongue out at1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH84WnSpJm
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypnWxLPEXm
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOtF65floW
still wasn't looking in my direction.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE52ACkEwW2
Soon after breakfast, we1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyJhHmXtti
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO573qqj4y
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YaY0eIC7I
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo1brxwp3j
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF1z7LSZWo
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktId43uk9W
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5syUXCnSn
she would.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySQdg0OVzu
We arrived at YG and we 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLYE0cSdjB
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMjxSnFdwW
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSIoM9U02a
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl3FnD8nkD
When everyone was 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8HAFoMgya
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorPxC4yec5
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvF8B8ojpu
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnHS1oQOd9
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJBVbXaemi
He not responding to me 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AHniNbqu0
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjRUDZ4MZ3
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaWDJfAAYm
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1JHzjpj5R
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyxWARAXpJ
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D1I6s9u9K
looked away instead.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8MnT7ARoG
We went straight to 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnAKDtM71i
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRYfRJKfaZ
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKSIuZ53R9
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFblSelTSF1
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpjzVcF4eh
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcIRF4bpIs
During pratice, I 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRsRsmLT1S
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQdVGrl3P8
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQqoJHkGS7
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUWoTM9Su7
G-Dragon wasn't the only1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N0YC8oeY1
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVnF734ojh
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDI69Bbuq2
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbxApu6HJR
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBAbqlvWsU
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBk9s6hzdN
As her best friend, I 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxlhnoNHmr
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kYC2yE0iz
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR8EafU8wu
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Iy3nVXCxJ
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi7ov9atVx
She is also smart, 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOPKeklimQ
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gh2Sl9jQ6
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuwwk5tEHE
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgGcDM7jOm
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1VBwD5O73
Sam has a lot of good 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2aQDTHszu
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLSF0uZz1J
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb5zhzNhcm
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN0DJG24JK
want to hurt anyone around her.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUsEJjoywe
Realising this made me 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBB1KbGNad
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZoYNacRRl
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaCiMWOOQW
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxeC9M8fwh
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfyrXsZffA
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi1n3jX4ou
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDYJnW95ox
realise it till now.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajyCd619EU
"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb01JYHu1X
"Zoey, you aren't 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpAbN8Y9Pv
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X2jJFVfRj
second time you have made the same mistake."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS4AfHdR6P
"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeujE5nVw3
"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ez06Ce7w5
It was lunch the time we1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStPm01UKFZ
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue0zzAYuwH
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9NJaoZsZV
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8UcpHbjxF
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdmeU9VncN
they were all laughing.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm172xvWB7T
"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi3GwEmUPt
"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1kaGYaIdp
"Still not talking to Sam?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTONH4FQ5SW
"Nope."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZx1RcCzx3
TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXuPO8y86J
"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDfo9SfMNQ
"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aHNElJIkH
"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVJDrUKmXe
"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLBbFv5pLm
"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnCrEkjRdq
"I know. But you aren't 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqupeLza3xx
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4yqmiIOP3
You would be chit chatting like you always do."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIG0wCxqyj
"What if I just want to be alone for today?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiXf1VTjpG
"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zoYQru2DO
I frowned. "Why?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFN0iKTbeD
"Because you look miserable."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWJKRBCAYU
I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh0tJ6dSgA
"Miserable!"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72PS55yAYp
"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSRuKf3ZI1
I thought for a moment 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTE9gQgzdQ
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dXQdLTCAW
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPvvZWsU4V
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtG139cZXK
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr25NgzXBdh
Seeing all this in front1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmSpIt8Cot
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8ZbDUN95l
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27cbCJ5yb2
Until TOP came to talk to me.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp607i6iMfn
"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oEYiHkS5Z
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIpj3IkJS1
"I don't know," I said 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllSmb3ce75
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy6SkL15lh
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyvX5lXr6m
I told TOP what happened in the morning and how it felt weird that Sam didn't say a word to me nor even looked at me.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl4AxHjOFD
"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9efOy0weS
"Then why don't you talk to her?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPhKpumjbj
"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy02fIjVtg7
"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIwSfye4S7
"I know."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQkMJr7tzK
"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVRrtUERe5
"I'll think about it."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW72E96f3nq
"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLEzJvIyou
Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipoVByCGyL
"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFb0UKupiT
"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdtlmpmXSB
The three of us went out1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD1mBi2imz
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwN2X6Z3US
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUlryUoSta
As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKZgGlU4ba
"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oNnL3AWH9
"Chill, you just ordered1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMcpuBFz8t
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP5RJ7Z2hZ
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgZbZAlu7v
"But I'm so hungry."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSilU0oH54
"Trust me, you aren't 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYZrE9hrAA
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhN28V2grC
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4N9dXvIDk
have."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xwQ7arn7E
"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEMCcKvdj2
"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6OhO5oseP
"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBsfK5O16H
"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd9C13ciyL
"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNV1KlmDKB
I didn't say anything as1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YSmUpG0X3
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYCcAUvYSI
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowK914JBLQ
calling.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo6CoaEThS
"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJU0OObkjN
"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxv8507GGA
"Okay, well you better answer that call."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1g4PZr8GZ
I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3P5MD4D7P
"Hello," I answered.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqdOoVkkbR
"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxCvyDiBry
"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN7caNeoKT
"We have to meet today, ASAP."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS1n8f6SZM
"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9owPPclnt
"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eOtRMCYSp
I knew Jehan was going 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOwpuSSFug
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E1Hw3zGf4
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3CRMEH9R9
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmGzX7C5Of
was upstairs in the dance studio.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbrwmszJac
"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlreFxHyfx
"I'm coming to YG to get it."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi44JfhwLlC
"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebDwnIL725
"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiBnQaiMCl
"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvuOwZdkbd
He cut the call and I 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYRCTj6BSO
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNkd4iqzPT
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf6PNNy91r
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkehVtWGy50
him they would start to ask questions.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbyrbjxMrO
"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML0ZrMka1p
I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrQ36hYgsk
"What?" I asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrViiv3l03
"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2ZYnr8mu8
"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw3P5MJsFM
"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD6P6aEH79
"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwdKgTzQNw
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoLhSj2tIO
"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8Lg3bqPXZ
"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjxktBkr0a
Dang it! I was cornered 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr6KmsQoDg
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91e2pOq2rl
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg39VAEmde
light no matter how much you try to hide it.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX7S4urRa8
"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z59ZGdrVi
I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iNybY5k0O
"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRTca8r6Cl
We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPPI16hHaK
I told them everything 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjXej2XRgk
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLVh4GO0Xv
said a word until I finished the whole story.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HQabyCT5W
"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAm7Ud92g1
"Just you two," I answered.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr0oRAXWRK
"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBjgIukPeZ
"Surprising, right?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnctTrvmedO
"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx63hOmwtQU
"We should involve the police," said TOP.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfJxjleMWt
"No! We can't!"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2EpziZfYJ
"Why?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdtim7YhC9
"You know word goes out 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1Gr6gsPKz
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OZ21GWeAf
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIlTbhV3vq
"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSBfNvoRek
"He assured me that this1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlox5X45W5
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMybWyqp3t5
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbPDmxBCyv
"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KZMOKwltv
The three of us turned 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o98PGe3JJ
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlhFou5WOS
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTwB2Rrzkq
"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgVHuWLbke
"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1obojA9vP
"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VLCUdTymX
"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKRpPVc4ku
"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiTRhcTPac
"Random stuff involving a1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMtBOsNSlV
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBFF64xNuK
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGDJXxXkeo
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHDSsl8LMw
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMHJoQg8xh
I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zlvuYOLI4
"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkwtfhSFfy
"Okay, I won't."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyimQHbHgic
"Sit down."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSybcFpayj
Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2pIDi93nZ
"I got myself into trouble," I started.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HeBYDS47F
"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl098LxqX5n
"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnMfx8TMnK
Christine's face soon 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN004eKytLM
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMHCgFJwNj
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLOsZAEn5E
"What!"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUqDzIcO6v
TOP quickly covered up 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHSCn6mH05
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHZaKBgBT8
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbhVQmDK3b
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OWIVbTEOP
"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTjvm6DuUV
"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR5QeOoA4m
"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI5fYWTqnV
"Of course I'm mad!" 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ02c1qMVsb
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeYSJz7MQC
but this by far is the worst one of them all."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR5WCB8O5o
"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUkLgdQeUZ
"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHlmFP2IjN
"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPSvVlghnD
"Ya, I remember. What about him?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6wfWUmmvF
"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6As9nnNBpV
"WHAT!"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49DAkzSOlI
"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRPmUUgbeP
"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOAUjNjBs4
"And the one I met at the café," I said.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjWtClTVTz
"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUy1CxFz3F
"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQIa0X7V8D
"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoqMlt22sN
"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE3m5wRRJ9
"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAjKPuF9hJ
"Ya," I said. "I planned1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAxQcDeVUz
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzWuljdwA7
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl2ynSxOYg
"So you're the one who 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfglvkzI06L
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy3VQg7YPk
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPVViNKMhs
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArPQh783NX
out with Seungri."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIv09XPdfL
"I lied."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfCOwKt7lI
Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI4fudewYZ
"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1skauzUh6f
"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvoDHiltQo
"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvBY2QEMcm
"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbk1H0fxoP
"I know. Now he wants the teddy bear back today. And I don't know what to do. He wanted to come here and get the teddy himself."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkhepj7V7M
"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMJMMsQrq4
"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD0aXob3m7
"Now where is she going to meet him now? She has to take that teddy bear away or else it could land us into more trouble."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83zfVKGRm2
"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZMifeq5Dl
"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1eU3CCpRP
"But where?" I asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofNC1iNibG
"Tell him you will meet at the café. The one you had met him in last time. TOP and I will take you there," said Seungri.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH0bMnI5SB
"I'm also coming with you," said Christine. "And don't refuse." She pointed her finger at me when I opened my mouth to object.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnNxjAP6i2
"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKdYlJAPiI
"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwRE3Y1lEi
I took my phone out and 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc1iJWOOLH
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyVRdR70GC
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iwOqjjbJT
"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5xYvwLHYk
"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdQNkAjpRj
Seungri had ordered ten 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TcuEk2QIh
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKdRsePEyZ
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h6BE4z6WC
favourite.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB3gomKVKt
We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMTLZifXZl
"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllpPGd4AgS
"I'll be ready for 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0alFnsEQ8
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK1HfsFwu4
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnvOd622xW
"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAHnODrFXP
"And G-Dragon," TOP added.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2MiOPeIpW
"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUk9nsJKrm
"Well, someone has to," said Christine.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORv3lN1b1O
"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx2MWKWPYo
"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2qtiWAZYP
We found ourselves back 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZmKiokSO6
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FtqNVoQhm
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkolDfRSVJ3
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dkzrmFNfJ
paranoid?1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mvr4k0iGw
Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8jMvpGN0Q
"What?" I asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBjchCeNJq
"You were frowning," Christine answered.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrLrQRrs4z
"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c54ddX5El
"Says the person who 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2USz5mVI2h
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWMugA7UPF
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2xnQ3SPnI
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYxxhgIbGM
Soon after lunch, we 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Kv7anhIJk
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpRN0IKDaI
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oFU2loXBK
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzMWtUgXPQ
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZyOPEhira
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOLezZd5hy
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPdXLyN1bq
At some point in the 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8HhPhbsDe
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbjbq5Ylgj
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFMENi0Zj6
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5JVsUnWzu
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKC6929AXlp
back to practising until we could pratice no more.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41eOabSh64
It was five and the sun 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc4aieJqPm
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdxPjZ4uHu
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT91kG8SQCF
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QivVeIoMM
side of me. We were all pretty tired.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsxnnGrq46
The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb0TuiUcCn
While I was resting and 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSubCZNmD0B
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mvGNyGkK9
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nsojb2JdQ
look on my face.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAhpUh313C
"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEOk1KVSpx
"Go? Go where?" I asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFNCtN8Qc8
Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV1LVIdid5
"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXLYOoOFTw
"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WFNiGP0sy
It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblsYkeN3yz
"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSirl33VQ8I
"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hrchXFpEG
"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7pXJcn8fT
"I want to follow too," said Daniel.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxLv86tRYi
"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft2wx8vc9l
I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dPKm7PMM9
"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezLf6dksm5
"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8LmGdlI5z
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1rGROsk8o
"Why don't you want 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoi6RjpigU
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eqil8lY2Y
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdst5Al1mmG
not to follow."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ176Q1c7Fdz
I wanted to protest and 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XsJaqJyEC
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bVJoRaUWN
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC34x7oPXhU
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjL0q9lGNy
"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KGnPHQ828
Dang it!1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU8tWRND3I
"Okay, you'll find me back at the hotel. I'll tell Collins that you had to go out," said Sam to the others, giving them a smile.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDLQG4X0UT
"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNeA709eAg
"Thanks, that's nice of 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSycQOeC273
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9KJ9utFl7
the others. "Have fun you, guys."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfjyM4xtVB
Sam and Daesung left the1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpF049ioG2
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosw353sbXw
myself that the two also made a nice pair.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJIh0kOkcn
"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HjbEXavDC
"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGRAX7Ix1J
"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWlm60Ins9
Christine stood up from 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VpOM7blWP
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75jQGe7vbu
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5EEMlpZOW
I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ617UeiNL5S
"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr6YW2RizY
"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz05HZMuJA
"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L1UbxLo5K
Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw7MP1jkyE
I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPDVvB9fxL
"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG93qZ3e4n
"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ703DN6QrKK
TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bRBwHfF4R
"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8tyvbtMFC
"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WdHdCz212
"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnkcEat2Dk
"I know," said Christine.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllu5nyz5DC
"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g6D9BlGyX
"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vhxhFivdG
"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseKj1GdiQI
"So that she can judge me? No way."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMZNKfOsqQ
"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkrSJQVcnX
"Don't try to convince 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0qGr6SJ6Z
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Ww0eneUA
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAJTd7W0lz
like she could hit me with a hammer.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFT2kEppNy
"Okay, let's go," said TOP.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg3esdwuYr
I got up from the floor 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn0NRNExMQ
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqMs6164lo
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAFRZf3rQu
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTzv8DO0Gd
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVSFZ4QQZg
The cars soon left the 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsiC7vXgx4
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMK3aXgNR0
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDzMm8FAKy
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RPO1dQ0qc
"Can you you please stop1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZFdxg6fM5
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6k2cEJ6hy
the teddy and lose it in the car."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V9OUrr5Ec
"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsvlDkj882
"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yYteXJWR7
I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsfy1dzzbt
"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5D3rUpKpE
"I just want to get this over with."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY4ZujEsZ0
We were soon packed 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQqDhmQtfK
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfA8VSJbup
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq8lIoHZWb
turned to look at her.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVjhDEggyT
"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw0oYrEFhG
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oumGf6PS4
Seungri also turned to 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPxlAxpMJZ
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt0A37hVfK
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrDYQv4LEJ
chest and I wished Sam was here too.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16w2JPBL1V
I soon got out of the 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPg1Ic4Xqm
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpJKDxlNM6
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkVnyj5mZV
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSFcJBrVx6
Before I could find my 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wokw2XC8x
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zUOnldvsd
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AsoOzKEAt
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe1YBIOOmA
I quickly went in the 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenIDgRtprf
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCF30WycNq
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JT2QzyYWU
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqdRTIceRy
I slowly approached the 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccWJy5nbiu
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePiO5g5Gjn
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSJd2qFxFk
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvmjiHB7pB
hesitate to end my life right here.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZsXbmp9Ad
"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsINPe4tzz1
"I was practising today," I answered.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNxSMaEl0g
"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz53j1Q4cr
"Thanks," I frowned at 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPft9tP9XMu
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv7HSiuxdw
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhNUeCaRIG
Jehan smirked. "Certainly."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lnkZVwYgO
I quickly reached out 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgXoybIqF9
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjDIKI1mZe
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD541UDlDH
"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocUCcQy7yV
"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNedRbpnXK3
"What now?" I complained.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXJRA1q95N
"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJGuR84HZl
"What do you think? That1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ApAJwyVlS
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoZZ6atpEb
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2mmvX5caQ
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcCo4Wyc7i
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUNMDZmK6h
Jehan raised an eyebrow 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTPODWeOhR
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVKdW7ACEL
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gVio65A2e
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyezNqq0Mfa
"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU3DVxjndI
"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa5mUSDdfk
I went back to looking 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33ikPRI4ch
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGwO9iiIqj
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi63Xy9kjvF
surprise me that he carried that thing around.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ617GRjyp
Jehan slowly laid the 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9BSs8WSFB
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM8A8BPnO9
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXqXkFsLlB
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXbVhgIHIQ
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQvCQhq5OB
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDZiNwrEkW
the teddy bear.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNMvbM4HUM
Wait. I frowned. This 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJdRFJFdAn
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQMyHwcW3x
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxbwKdSL4D
diamonds!1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwigJgKDAe
I stared horrified at 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLHiVKrvMg
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZcc7hInHk
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1TDYQz49V
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVzfvJgnoF
I looked up at Jehan and1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxa4pedupF
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡechTyjVFCQ
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdLNJxVi5A
that, he was going to end up traumatised.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVt3DQ34ql
"Je-Jehan," I said 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQAjuSYBQp
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG729pJPfF2
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7TpkigW6X
there."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAtaWPcnQ3
Jean neither moved nor 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAY8fQibe0
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyKPm3Fxp2
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdU3kynmFj
But how could this be? 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xSbs3CA1f
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z3PCZUESj
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmfUGraol6
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCePz3lR0V
"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlCSQfqpLI
"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFnt1AxtSn
He banged his fists on 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd7tzAHQny
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bZivdV6OA
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrsufFg0NW
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX1pXo871W
"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBoxIygF5I
"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirBZVdUmeQ
"I don't know. I don't 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jVLZHXXo9
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwP4Qjil6F
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySUn8attlV
"How did the diamonds go missing?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbuZa4wPMJ
"How am I supposed to 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dh7uqRW2a
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKAD6aN5le
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOooOTWUeqj
"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZS1ECnLXT
"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sSkoDWRWP
Jehan rubbed his 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOBzulZtOT
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7tB9KRE5c
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCfHqdgwby
"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8KCdMA2pH
"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSNQT0W3Z7
"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkIVhBOyUq
"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmgz6Jnu3l
"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5TdXCFoux
"I don't know."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x5LdFpCN6
Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzfISOttkm
"Ummm," I looked down 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDZgrPMm2O
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVxvRPAXks
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxxAje9KNY
"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxgWme8caG
"I didn't have the teddy bear with me at the hotel the whole time," I said, looking at him fully in the eyes now.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR0gLeKrWl
"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDWV8iln4d
"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdEGaTZaDf
"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Wiowh9zUS
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8mbbVQqLd
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m2hA5i5Iq
"I don't think so. Lee 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmf2fnKTo2
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxzZVoRmzm
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUu4MWVGGz
"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS25rB8aZT
"You're right. But if she did find out about us and all this diamond business, she wouldn't keep that to herself. I know Lee."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCoINyCQ82
"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfdbAqqqhZ
"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaDl1NRd59
After I said that, Jehan1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQYGFsQAno
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD1dxasrtQ
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN7JvBVDps
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCOiJeW5z6
look on his face.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzZb4bYXuE
"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO89jTnsKT3
"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sPGx8Y5Ak
"I remember one of my 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1JvIwpEAH
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETeTlWLEDm
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuRpDm37cA
"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNugqCG6ebk
"Don't snap your fingers and be all happy about this," said Jehan, back to giving me that angry look. "I need that teddy, now!"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbD7LKQhfd
"Huh? I can't start 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS34yJN17j
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uG0Q2M8Go
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUPodAnvQi
that the bear is missing."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEp2nKBLXj
"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYfmeQeWLl
"What do you mean?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1yHoNJAxo
"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBoH1bjdut
"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpwj56Kc0K
"Now that, makes no 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBalZNqqfW
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXE2qTTVRB
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JpW9AZ72y
"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzOy7PAf5Z
"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oqqERycfa
"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhk6YqOxs7
"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrvznbCeZF
I completely forgot that1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdaoltkZDM
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9uhdYTqlc
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5whpzdOZtg
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyTOE3EWqR
"Okay. I'll see what I can do."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaKSqugrv1
Jehan gave me a smile. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf3hotKgM1
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jdJYFl8w1
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFMXEg2zEW
I nodded my head and 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZmQSs22fw
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ERhOHuqas
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahuEbpnfz6
"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHc6evotqC
I sat there as I buried 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiVr1zCoKO
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGpaQ0Xukc
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60fgTUpulX
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUm0xAVXJV
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38CML8dl8p
drama that might just ruin my life?1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMyVkEMj5V
I hadn't noticed the bell of the café ringing because I felt a hand on my shoulder and when I looked up, there stood Christine.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z3mSRMGfJ
"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuo2eef67z
I could hear footsteps 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzLDdyrBzY
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SV3s9hPSe
when they saw the look on my face.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9JilEPU1Y
Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4jfzh3XzJ
"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfkB2yPIWM
"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXepRYrvcF7
"No," I answered. "He didn't."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EpmK9K9P0
"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB897UU2jv
"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9PObgPJva
Mike shook his head. "But who? We didn't know what that teddy bear had until now, so, it couldn't be anyone of us."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPmAHvliwH
"And what about Lee?" 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNaxsCHhLq
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKxUdt62hA
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEyaEF7x2i
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpkqR4l8wT
to."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqI2yF9LFw
"This is bad," I said, 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKK2B22EwI
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYKGfxCpSa
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgazuzhCXjW
"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ06EJyuko
"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBp3hmpb2b7
We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki3zIaQBAk
"Sam?" I wondered for a 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXltVjmeQX
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BPsTvFg2n
she have swapped it with the other one?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hXMgGrWkI
"Okay, wait," said TOP. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hVVTW4RaY
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWIEZe4USY
what's really going on in the first place?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ20fdtGXok
"I doubt it," I said 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYMRCDOzwg
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡII1kXmVjxx
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI81f4DqDg
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ51IfT5tu4
TOP and Seungri looked 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVTGyN4Kb0
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThWtsnwez2
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y1JIm3LGO
it away.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcaObwTUUG
"I highly doubt it too,"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4J6yU04ik
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3oF5tSdGL
she would have asked us about it."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0rbFO4qNT
"That's true," said 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnk1UYtdc4
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxCOQJR24s
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcWty92gVa
"And I checked out the 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIelawCTHW
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBW2474wIe
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLg0tvwxA7
"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItPxMn2yLb
"No, I highly doubt it,"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXJJoMElKK
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7Gm9OWpnX
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYcuU3Ph8R
said nothing about them entering a toy store."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xg690TASK
"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOvSzwUkNG
"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJJMzg9giz
"Collins?" Mike asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6OI1nYd2a
"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMuq6JL83q
"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGo5ebtAV4
"But who knows? Maybe he1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M71V3I1SM
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YCQzRh73y
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vF8U9UBEb
times."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwIXEY5oOl
"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsgNskHFg5
"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQoKqBjQWO
"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBS8mWcJGh
Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX38ws5xpR
"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQQjEJgeiM
"He was the one who went1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnIABQ8rfa
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazlUDo0Y0Y
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUCdxx7fU0
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrH0oXOm5d
elevator."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVg9FzcvlA
"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YsuAuKGer
"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTmQIosOAS
"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVQMs9UsH9
"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKlLiRafz9
"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYVDgN0d1t
"You're right," I said 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihrHuLZgYQ
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgs7tQjgco
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxw7m5GtVE
"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5fNULWbF8
We all walked out of the1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlgF4GS6XS
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1Gk4zdmfn
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsbfJ5wQOs
While I was in the car 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHMMXsNjs3
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUtCH5cuI1
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFPxCCLqs7
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOh7dpBEZh
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ27Zgv4Wl9
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc2DTPhrkm
If it isn't him, then 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ1ZUgX1WY
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTulmbHiTby
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwN72iT05H
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5jdMNjsCw
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnm6E1JZH3
What if I had the wrong 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpScEELClor
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7LgwuJOBK
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvYq38Z21C
place without any of us noticing in the first place?1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OmEFttZHv
I hope I could be able 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs1gHmF182
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjNczSMrBt
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that1027Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLtgTTkpS7
happen.
