Zoey's P.O.V:847Please respect copyright.PENANAquoBN8IEPZ
I was still in the dance847Please respect copyright.PENANALaTbwPWDfk
studio with my back on the floor and my face facing the ceiling. I took847Please respect copyright.PENANAGtjAns4S3n
a deep breath and let it out, trying to relax myself. But I couldn't. I847Please respect copyright.PENANAvBl4lH4rOd
wondered how I got to this point with everything crumbling down to 847Please respect copyright.PENANAt0X6FWccWI
pieces.847Please respect copyright.PENANANd8vp6FZfj
G-Dragon had left me 847Please respect copyright.PENANAm7Cmqy0sg3
alone to think after our talk. As much as it hurt talking to him, it 847Please respect copyright.PENANA8bi0zQlUiY
wasn't as intense as the one he and Sam shared when they argued down the847Please respect copyright.PENANAx6dyb1rKTx
hall earlier. I knew GD was trying to go calm and easy on me, which he 847Please respect copyright.PENANAA7Q1mXe9X2
did. But I was still hurting as hell.847Please respect copyright.PENANAorPZ1uBGZg
It was now over between 847Please respect copyright.PENANAMVsoEPsY2m
us. I knew I had it coming because I wasn't going to stay here in Korea 847Please respect copyright.PENANAxqqYyxCXB2
for long. But I never knew it was all because G-Dragon really liked Sam.847Please respect copyright.PENANAxMBlT632zA
That felt like a blow to my face.847Please respect copyright.PENANAsGN0GNCNXs
I was hurting, I was 847Please respect copyright.PENANADxZUsYwcIZ
pissed and angry. I should have known better that G-Dragon never had 847Please respect copyright.PENANAL5NOH8sWCX
eyes for me in the first place, but for Sam. Who I bet felt guilty and 847Please respect copyright.PENANAENqHryCXGS
tried to tell me the truth earlier on this morning, but I never took her847Please respect copyright.PENANA0SQgwZTgCD
seriously. Come to think of it, I never do take her seriously. But she 847Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6A3CLIA6o
couldn't come to tell me that G-Dragon liked her because she knew 847Please respect copyright.PENANAJnP5NASyBC
G-Dragon was supposed to tell me himself. No wonder she kept quiet. 847Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ7VjOhuZb
Looks like her conscious took the better of her and told her not to.847Please respect copyright.PENANA5P6L1XujSU
I was glad that all of 847Please respect copyright.PENANAK7g1J6VNQu
this was bought to light, but now, all of our group members know. And as847Please respect copyright.PENANAjCXvAIqtsG
for Daesung, I always knew he had eyes for Sam but the two of them 847Please respect copyright.PENANA9uren6QDns
accepted that they could never be together. That was pretty brave of 847Please respect copyright.PENANAkflnQqMSbK
them if you ask me. I wish I could be a little more like Sam on learning847Please respect copyright.PENANAoVNPIgY3i8
how to let go.847Please respect copyright.PENANAFvkn4BbSnR
I sighed. But I couldn't847Please respect copyright.PENANAHTEr9j1rEC
let go of G-Dragon. He had something that other guys I have dated or 847Please respect copyright.PENANAzqweU8TrPJ
met in my life never had that drew me close to him. But looks like he 847Please respect copyright.PENANAVQixmisNye
wasn't mine to keep, nor Sam's.847Please respect copyright.PENANAt60xkKoxIj
I don't know what to 847Please respect copyright.PENANA94CB0OZgOo
think now that I know he had always liked Sam from the very beginning. I847Please respect copyright.PENANARRUZ1369dL
was angry at the both of them from keeping all of this from me, but I 847Please respect copyright.PENANACkJtOWLTXM
was also pretty mad at myself for playing the fool.847Please respect copyright.PENANAz8o52HTkRr
What hurt me the most 847Please respect copyright.PENANAjj4ubvMWpw
was the kiss G-Dragon and I shared in Paris. Everything felt so real 847Please respect copyright.PENANAHApJZcIHM5
back then, but now, it was like a faded memory. When G-Dragon told me 847Please respect copyright.PENANAwXSKVkeYmw
earlier that he had always liked Sam, I had asked him what our kiss in 847Please respect copyright.PENANAdGOGNEhMzR
Paris meant to him. He told me he did all that just to distract himself 847Please respect copyright.PENANA610iHORgXL
because Sam had pissed him off earlier. I know the two had argued a 847Please respect copyright.PENANA6sVOiGFiI1
couple of times before, but I never knew it was that serious to the 847Please respect copyright.PENANAmxUpfY08zz
extent that he had to use me as a distraction just to get his mind off 847Please respect copyright.PENANAPfvkTcX7N6
her. For some reason, I felt so used.847Please respect copyright.PENANAA6lVDLbg9j
He did say he was sorry 847Please respect copyright.PENANABQn8FeNVr9
and that he didn't want to hurt me. I couldn't stay mad at him. For some847Please respect copyright.PENANA513heguyLW
reason, I just couldn't. But I was mad at Sam though. She should have 847Please respect copyright.PENANAwfiizCRZ8L
told me what was going on. We were best friends for crying out loud.847Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZU1zHKCy9
She had a lot of 847Please respect copyright.PENANAB0NAM1BCJe
explaining to do. That's if I get to cool down first. I still had a lot 847Please respect copyright.PENANAnrtL9J1xk9
of things pending in my mind and I had to be really careful with what I 847Please respect copyright.PENANA5VcEI1UY0B
was going to say to her.847Please respect copyright.PENANAjOvLE1qJqX
As I got up from the 847Please respect copyright.PENANA2FNmEqNcOX
floor, the door to the studio flew open and Christine came in with what 847Please respect copyright.PENANAlTzKFqRVfm
looked like a lunch takeout in a plastic bag. I could tell by the look 847Please respect copyright.PENANARaLZUGBYIR
on her face that she was trying to figure out what words to say to me so847Please respect copyright.PENANAfJPMtiIB7N
that I couldn't get mad any further.847Please respect copyright.PENANAcZjduGfF1r
"Hey, Zoey," said Christine as she closed the door behind her. "I brought you your lunch."847Please respect copyright.PENANAOnGZ6Z9dVf
I managed to put up a smile. "Thanks, Christine."847Please respect copyright.PENANA8rERUszQCS
She walked up to me. "So, did you guys talk?"847Please respect copyright.PENANATQ4Iccc6Iy
"Ya." I nodded my head. "We did."847Please respect copyright.PENANAVVuXyXKcM1
"We saw G-Dragon earlier," said Christine. "The others are talking to him, so I came here to check up on you."847Please respect copyright.PENANA0R24W7C6MM
"Thanks. I'm okay, but I just realised that I'm pretty hungry."847Please respect copyright.PENANAUyWg5n5glV
"Here." Christine gave me my lunch and I sat down on the floor to eat. She sat also down, facing me.847Please respect copyright.PENANATl8Mm9M6f2
"So, how are things?" Christine asked.847Please respect copyright.PENANAwkz4nKx0Ve
"I don't know whether to say things are good or bad," I said as I bit a slice of pizza.847Please respect copyright.PENANAyBzGm1AUGw
"Looking at you, it's pretty bad. G-Dragon said it's over between the two of you."847Please respect copyright.PENANAHILl4Cv1KN
"Ya, it is. I was so stupid to think that we would last."847Please respect copyright.PENANAQOe5cpaxLE
"Come on, Zoey. I think 847Please respect copyright.PENANAmUdSlgTt6w
it was pretty obvious. I mean, we weren't going to stay here for long. 847Please respect copyright.PENANAXKMra5AAyk
And you know what Collins told us last time."847Please respect copyright.PENANANMQa4wXIdb
"I know. But I never knew it would be because of Sam." I bit another piece of pizza in my mouth.847Please respect copyright.PENANAOajQYZ0jkp
Christine winced. "Sorry847Please respect copyright.PENANArbTWJ29pFV
to break it to you, Zoey, but it was quite clear from the day we got 847Please respect copyright.PENANAt8qDCshyUg
here that G-Dragon had eyes for her this whole time."847Please respect copyright.PENANAOkXcOWOnIw
I stopped chewing on my pizza and looked up at Christine.847Please respect copyright.PENANAjtC30VrjTK
"What? You knew about this and you never told me?"847Please respect copyright.PENANALFOQgOEIvX
Christine shrugged her 847Please respect copyright.PENANA535ksIJ9W3
shoulders. "You're the one with the eyes for these things, not me. 847Please respect copyright.PENANApNVhTuEmA3
Sadly, you got too attached to G-Dragon that you couldn't even realise 847Please respect copyright.PENANAJ827Jwm09A
it yourself."847Please respect copyright.PENANAxgPdAPhLzs
I chewed slowly as I 847Please respect copyright.PENANAMn7T6gP8Ge
thought of what she said. "I guess you're right. Is that the reason why 847Please respect copyright.PENANAlCGJfCkj8T
you said G-Dragon and Sam would have made a perfect couple during that 847Please respect copyright.PENANAoqz9b0fhlN
interview?"847Please respect copyright.PENANASnCkBLnovm
"Well, ya. I thought by saying that, you would open your eyes for once. But that didn't work."847Please respect copyright.PENANALElJ7J0iW4
"Ya. And Daniel said the same thing too and I got mad at him for it. I still wish you could have told me though."847Please respect copyright.PENANAKuAonUL8Yk
"So you could burst into an uproar and tear everyone's heads out? No way." She shook her head.847Please respect copyright.PENANApWvHi4r5T5
"Look at me, Christine. I might be hurt but I'm still composed."847Please respect copyright.PENANAWDVKj5QtTn
"And what if Sam shows up? Wouldn't you be in an uproar then?"847Please respect copyright.PENANAGnm4lRFN1M
I had no words. Maybe 847Please respect copyright.PENANAHQu8JPnVaw
Christine was right. I don't know what I would do if Sam were to come 847Please respect copyright.PENANAzPAiuqyNQc
into the room. As much as I was pissed at G-Dragon, I was pretty furious847Please respect copyright.PENANAps2cCH1q39
at Sam.847Please respect copyright.PENANAFmhF9J0lOX
"No, I wouldn't," I said, ignoring Christine.847Please respect copyright.PENANASmUqllxWjO
"Yes, you would. A lot 847Please respect copyright.PENANAUZstf2ZGrl
of us know you too well, Zoey. And you're probably wondering what 847Please respect copyright.PENANAnf4affSGAY
G-Dragon saw in Sam that he couldn't see in you."847Please respect copyright.PENANA6JjmrM0XsN
I got irritated now, 847Please respect copyright.PENANAsqn9u9qMWT
knowing that Christine was right. "So what? That's not going to put me 847Please respect copyright.PENANA7EBX3OOdKH
into a fit of a tantrum when I see her."847Please respect copyright.PENANAOxH5XXetzm
"It would, Zoey. And as 847Please respect copyright.PENANA4sQZJID6qD
much as it's normal to think that way because you're hurt and pretty 847Please respect copyright.PENANAZgeTwXdRFr
much jealous, you also have to look at things through Sam's point of 847Please respect copyright.PENANATd2RhR2e6N
view."847Please respect copyright.PENANAffxm5G78v0
"Hey! I'm not jealous."847Please respect copyright.PENANAb8093NVu9G
Christine rolled her 847Please respect copyright.PENANANsKnK5z7UM
eyes at me. "Whatever. But promise me you won't shout in Sam's face when847Please respect copyright.PENANAQP5MCEqxUa
you see her. I bet she feels really bad about this and I know she 847Please respect copyright.PENANAeTppVrTjTP
couldn't tell you because she didn't want you to get hurt."847Please respect copyright.PENANAPCMXPMBO6y
"Why are you saying that? Did she tell you that she already knew that G-Dragon liked her?"847Please respect copyright.PENANAOgCEmZp5Iq
"No. But knowing her 847Please respect copyright.PENANAflWY1nBNWR
character, she would do exactly that. You're her best friend and I know 847Please respect copyright.PENANAKD66PfR4yR
she would do nothing to hurt you. It must be pretty bad for her too."847Please respect copyright.PENANAwbRhqVTlab
"I know, but, I can't believe that G-Dragon fell for her and not me."847Please respect copyright.PENANASZ4kIdZw4O
"Here we go," said 847Please respect copyright.PENANARqXWLsWbF6
Christine, throwing her hands in the air. "You really think all this is 847Please respect copyright.PENANAcP39ULLYNM
about you? That all the nice guys are supposed to fall for you wherever 847Please respect copyright.PENANAv8rBGrG2K1
you go?"847Please respect copyright.PENANAEVd11oEmYB
"No. It's just...."847Please respect copyright.PENANATCuaA5TdSE
"Don't say another word, Zoey. It's clear to see that you aren't concerned about Sam at all."847Please respect copyright.PENANAXGydnee6VW
That hurt. And a lot too. "That's not true. Sam is my best friend. Yes, I'm mad because she didn't tell me what was going on."847Please respect copyright.PENANAALXZOfcIsJ
"Then you as her best 847Please respect copyright.PENANArvtKdHulON
friend should understand why she did that. You heard her down that hall 847Please respect copyright.PENANAX5tu9ZuHjO
when she argued with G-Dragon about telling you the truth. It's because 847Please respect copyright.PENANAN8Rc1slvMC
she didn't want to see you hurt. She never does and she never will."847Please respect copyright.PENANAlSICnXYt32
I looked down on the 847Please respect copyright.PENANAEyNBGV7MLe
floor feeling a little guilty. I know Sam and her character, and she was847Please respect copyright.PENANA7OIZgYQ6Zf
one who wouldn't like to hurt anyone. But I still couldn't help but 847Please respect copyright.PENANAVLDCae4T9K
feel mad.847Please respect copyright.PENANAmN1IWcOaeB
"Okay, okay. It's just that, this has never really happened to me before."847Please respect copyright.PENANAtb2XpD2juL
"That's because you 847Please respect copyright.PENANAr2gAQSCVLL
always think guys would fall for you all the time no matter what. It's 847Please respect copyright.PENANAUvwSH2Hpdx
been like that since high school. You were the one whom all the boys 847Please respect copyright.PENANAaYVDIH7rGK
admired and Sam was one who you never thought could ever make any guy 847Please respect copyright.PENANAZzSE8eZ4kf
fall for her, especially G-Dragon."847Please respect copyright.PENANAcegZYmjXYX
"Mmmm. Maybe. It's not my fault that I attract so many guys."847Please respect copyright.PENANAnV7TT4wRks
"Well, I hope what's happened will help you realise that not everything is all about you."847Please respect copyright.PENANAp89TRfF18t
I sighed. I had now lost my appetite after what she had said.847Please respect copyright.PENANA7QS158EDl6
"I hope Sam is alright," said Christine. "Have you seen her?"847Please respect copyright.PENANAlVJJkuUwEG
"No, I thought she was with you guys," I said.847Please respect copyright.PENANA92VZqEzxAD
"She never came downstairs with us."847Please respect copyright.PENANA4shwidE0aW
"She must be around here somewhere. She will show up when it's time for practise."847Please respect copyright.PENANAnAOkWqud0Q
"I hope so. Anyway we will be starting soon. Now remember. Don't get mad, okay?"847Please respect copyright.PENANAPWZ6pDNPfM
"I'll try. I'm not promising anything."847Please respect copyright.PENANAch3LSnEltE
The door flew open all 847Please respect copyright.PENANA2XbYBUE15z
of the sudden and thinking it was Sam, the guys came in the room. I felt847Please respect copyright.PENANAgtyIJ4jJCs
a little relieved. But I looked away when G-Dragon came in. I still 847Please respect copyright.PENANA3mnvxVtxOA
wasn't ready to look at him yet.847Please respect copyright.PENANAh74kvoRWop
"Ummm, has anyone seen Sam?" Daniel asked, after looking around the room.847Please respect copyright.PENANA3Y9lr2stcE
"No, we haven't," said Christine getting up from the floor.847Please respect copyright.PENANAPz9C0j0phL
"She must be around here somewhere," said Taeyang.847Please respect copyright.PENANAACImcs2uxV
"I bet she hasn't eaten lunch yet," said Mike. "I think I should go and look for her."847Please respect copyright.PENANA1MpXL8Y03W
"Why not call her?" I asked. "I bet she carried her phone."847Please respect copyright.PENANAVqvh62BXB0
"Zoey," Christine looked at me with a frown on her face.847Please respect copyright.PENANAxUZKHVvEpH
"What?" I looked up at her as I shrugged my shoulders.847Please respect copyright.PENANA0dzrdTJWAt
"Arrgh!" she growled in frustration and looked away.847Please respect copyright.PENANAeAhII8Trkz
"Wow, girls, what's up?" Seungri asked with a surprised look on his face. "Don't tell me you two were arguing too?"847Please respect copyright.PENANAztvOX07MIX
"No, just trying to convince some people around here about doing the right thing," said Christine as she looked down at me.847Please respect copyright.PENANABut46u0arn
I could have stuck out my tongue at her, but I didn't. I kept my cool and I continued to eat my pizza.847Please respect copyright.PENANAoVv5zhYCcj
"Guys, we have a problem," said TOP.847Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1mdgF2IJM
We all turned to look at him and he was holding his phone in his hand. Had he been trying to call Sam?847Please respect copyright.PENANAxJDDSIWrHx
"What is it?" G-Dragon asked.847Please respect copyright.PENANA9KqmLLrgVE
"Sam isn't picking my call," TOP answered. "It's ringing but she isn't picking up."847Please respect copyright.PENANAGHUrSjK1rp
"Maybe she put her phone on silent," said Mike.847Please respect copyright.PENANAJFGfUbjsDB
"Meaning we have to look for her then," said Taeyang.847Please respect copyright.PENANAT4NH2zT0hj
"I'll look for her," said Daniel. "I bet she is at the recording studio."847Please respect copyright.PENANAQLMh3so3TT
"I'm coming with you," said Daesung.847Please respect copyright.PENANAaKZdmbYoCh
"Count me in," said Mike.847Please respect copyright.PENANA1pKWmD3rzq
Christine came beside me847Please respect copyright.PENANAHqCgLn7XvD
and gave me a nudge on my leg with her foot. I looked up at her and she847Please respect copyright.PENANAKrNIL8OftX
jerked her head towards the door. I knew she wanted me to go with them 847Please respect copyright.PENANAAtk9giNx65
to look for Sam. I didn't want to snap at her so I just had to comply.847Please respect copyright.PENANAyj13fiqiE9
"I'm also coming with you," I said as I stood up from the floor.847Please respect copyright.PENANARF2Um04mDH
"Why don't we all go?" Christine asked.847Please respect copyright.PENANADPfdmvn7Je
"Okay," said G-Dragon. "Let's just hope that the choreographer doesn't come here and find us missing."847Please respect copyright.PENANAvGJWgKN1I9
"Then someone should stay behind and explain what's going on," I said. "So, I'll stay."847Please respect copyright.PENANAYEt1Pu38US
"No, we are all going," said Christine as she held my arm. "If we're going to get in trouble together then we all will."847Please respect copyright.PENANAS7M5Zxi98m
I sighed as I rolled my eyes. "Fine."847Please respect copyright.PENANAlhdDIvbpbf
"Let's go up to the recording studio," said TOP. "I'll continue to call Sam and check if she is okay."847Please respect copyright.PENANAuW7ugfamDp
Daesung opened the door 847Please respect copyright.PENANAwHJDXLw37p
and went out of the room first and we all followed. I seriously wasn't 847Please respect copyright.PENANA0svuU4t0Vv
in the mood to go and start looking for Sam. If anything, I should be 847Please respect copyright.PENANAv9GEhoQTYg
given more time to think and try to calm down. But I couldn't help but 847Please respect copyright.PENANAMkwM1iSIr2
worry about her whereabouts too.847Please respect copyright.PENANAtwoffOolyt
We all went upstairs and847Please respect copyright.PENANAFoErGF7E43
checked every recording room. There was still no sign of her. And TOP 847Please respect copyright.PENANAxbsTZDiqtE
had tried calling but she still wasn't picking up.847Please respect copyright.PENANAkNLjMh43vD
When we came to the 847Please respect copyright.PENANAcUJShqZzbu
second last studio room down the hall, we found Sam settled on the 847Please respect copyright.PENANALszxZkPFJ8
couch. She seemed to be busy because she was bended over a small table 847Please respect copyright.PENANAcvPWbCjZK7
in front of her, with a pen in her hand and was scribbling something on a847Please respect copyright.PENANACmsHfDESyL
sheet of paper.847Please respect copyright.PENANATsEyQylGdA
"Sam," Mike called out to her as he rushed into the room.847Please respect copyright.PENANAuY9GthwU33
Sam quickly looked up. 847Please respect copyright.PENANAhbAKEkxgv0
Telling on the look on her face, she was pretty preoccupied, as always. I847Please respect copyright.PENANAtEGpN96dlF
wondered what she was writing. Hopefully not a run away letter saying 847Please respect copyright.PENANA9F9bNcISWj
that she will leave the group because of what she has done.847Please respect copyright.PENANAZuCUDHmSbe
We all came in the room 847Please respect copyright.PENANAA8tvMhNfkg
and to be honest, I didn't want to be here. I could tell that G-Dragon 847Please respect copyright.PENANAAtz10np9cz
also felt the same. I looked at him and he seemed pretty uncomfortable.847Please respect copyright.PENANAYt7amruPXh
"May I ask what you're doing here?" Daniel asked Sam.847Please respect copyright.PENANAv71yUKhF61
"I...I was just...." Sam847Please respect copyright.PENANASevQx9BOVL
looked down at the paper she was scribbling on and then up at her 847Please respect copyright.PENANAJGYmaCuIwg
brothers. "I just needed to be alone for a while. That's why I came 847Please respect copyright.PENANAEdwPL7mPGo
here."847Please respect copyright.PENANAzhrCZ3xR4Z
"But are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You weren't picking up your phone."847Please respect copyright.PENANA863IBFRLd4
"I put it on silent," said Sam, as she scratched her head. "Sorry if I worried you."847Please respect copyright.PENANATThUkXgerW
"Apologising isn't one of your best traits, Sam," I blurted out without thinking. "I'm surprised you're doing so now."847Please respect copyright.PENANARSKFzAV9YP
Everyone turned to look 847Please respect copyright.PENANAe6ycwuf9xF
at me and I could tell they were shocked with what I said. But I didn't 847Please respect copyright.PENANA5kKZM4U1t9
care. I had my hands on my hips to show how mad I was.847Please respect copyright.PENANA6GDuD0nhwY
"Zoey," Sam stood up from the couch and I could tell she was sorry just by looking in her eyes. "We need to talk."847Please respect copyright.PENANAYBJpBzdxkn
"There is nothing to talk about, Sam. G-Dragon told me everything and I don't need to listen to you."847Please respect copyright.PENANAyUouKEWzYb
"Zoey!" Christine interfered.847Please respect copyright.PENANAQWsaeXyr7C
"Let me talk, Christine," I said, holding my hand up to Christine to stop her from talking.847Please respect copyright.PENANAHjatt30VdS
"Zoey, I know you're mad at me. But I didn't want it to go down like this," said Sam.847Please respect copyright.PENANANa4buesO4Z
"Well, it's a little too847Please respect copyright.PENANAaSXkiTxk6V
late for that, isn't it? Why didn't you tell me all this before? And 847Please respect copyright.PENANAntUNP85fzU
don't try to say you were only doing it so that I wouldn't get hurt."847Please respect copyright.PENANAqO9Nn8NKGs
Sam opened her mouth but847Please respect copyright.PENANAgxpssXZF3a
closed it again. I could see tears well up in her eyes. If she thought 847Please respect copyright.PENANAgKOatpHhT0
crying would make me forgive her, she was dead wrong. I was a little 847Please respect copyright.PENANA310xRtFgwm
surprised when no tear fell down her cheek.847Please respect copyright.PENANAUFA5ycDMXB
"I'm sorry, Zoey," she said. "But what else could I tell you?"847Please respect copyright.PENANA4pqk0ZR9hb
"Why you stole G-Dragon from me!"847Please respect copyright.PENANASVZm6eLCCJ
"I didn't steal him from you, Zoey."847Please respect copyright.PENANAqvWH4cMBpv
"Now you're just talking nonsense," said Christine.847Please respect copyright.PENANAAdWUcVHfvn
"Shut up, Christine!" I snapped at her.847Please respect copyright.PENANAmzFD7k0vQz
"The drama queen must have hit her head or something," Daniel said, shaking his head.847Please respect copyright.PENANA1uZaSmqSDY
"I didn't hit my head," I said as I turned to look at Daniel.847Please respect copyright.PENANACldiymWXoi
"You're acting like you have," said G-Dragon. "What's wrong with you?"847Please respect copyright.PENANAcyuajBNVkC
I turned to look at G-Dragon and I couldn't believe that he was also calling me crazy.847Please respect copyright.PENANAFSQ4vuA5xv
"This is unbelievable," I said as I rubbed my forehead. "Now I'm the crazy one."847Please respect copyright.PENANA3cni3CMwLl
"Zoey, please calm down," said Seungri. "This isn't good for you or for anyone else."847Please respect copyright.PENANADZ38CjvVlz
I took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling. Then I went back to looking at Sam.847Please respect copyright.PENANATRoVlid47o
"If you've a better explanation to all this, I'll be in the dance studio."847Please respect copyright.PENANA8U2sp07GUC
I turned around and went out of the room, banging the door loudly behind me.847Please respect copyright.PENANAuAcL64G8sp
***847Please respect copyright.PENANAYzfM32i15E
847Please respect copyright.PENANAGWGaBDD91M
Sam's P.O.V:847Please respect copyright.PENANApkvEJqL93N
I winced when the door 847Please respect copyright.PENANAhWQ5SDq3A5
banged shut in front of me. I knew Zoey was going to be furious. And 847Please respect copyright.PENANA5rlr3yJipK
trying to cool her down was going to be difficult. I had to work on a 847Please respect copyright.PENANANZgzcyrLC8
different approach to get to her.847Please respect copyright.PENANATGG59uDMut
I looked at the others 847Please respect copyright.PENANApM2XwZWlU0
in front of me and they were silent. Looks like they were pretty much 847Please respect copyright.PENANAvOPQJvDA9e
ready for Zoey's outburst than I was.847Please respect copyright.PENANAVIRxbWZSBl
"We better get going, the choreographer will be back any moment," said TOP.847Please respect copyright.PENANAE6VucbEZxH
"Are you crazy?" Mike 847Please respect copyright.PENANAhHYf1ODR5N
asked as he turned to look at TOP. "I'm not going in that room if Zoey 847Please respect copyright.PENANAmTngfKGVL4
is going to continue acting like a lunatic."847Please respect copyright.PENANArdeyLyJK6i
"Mike's right," said Daesung. "Maybe we should just cancel practise today, for things to settle down."847Please respect copyright.PENANABAnntapIZ6
"As much as that is a good idea, you heard what the managers said," said Taeyang. "We've to work on the music video on Monday."847Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2UQlIAnNP
"We have to come up with847Please respect copyright.PENANAJWXgM7RW6p
something then," said Christine. "Because just as Mike said, dancing 847Please respect copyright.PENANAPFtXDWy9lc
with Zoey is going to be dangerous. The next thing we know, we would all847Please respect copyright.PENANAItJZanTlqX
be landing on our faces in that studio."847Please respect copyright.PENANA1vNlvwJMOm
"I agree," said Seungri. "Does anyone have any plans?"847Please respect copyright.PENANAYzXqMC90Rg
"I can pretend I sprain my ankle," said Daniel. "That will give us enough time for things to settle."847Please respect copyright.PENANAvCtA890Ryv
"No, they will bring in a medical examiner and make things worse," said Taeyang.847Please respect copyright.PENANAHrgfWdYisv
"Okay, this is tough," said Christine, as she started to pace up and down.847Please respect copyright.PENANAAp7hea8rX6
"We wouldn't be going through all this if it wasn't for you, Sam," said G-Dragon.847Please respect copyright.PENANARa6Rfyi9Cm
Everyone, including me turned to look at G-Dragon who was standing further away from us at the door.847Please respect copyright.PENANAVXFi4JgDvA
"What did I do?" I 847Please respect copyright.PENANARAhRXJnWch
asked. "If you mean telling Zoey the truth, that's supposed to rest on 847Please respect copyright.PENANAcgHULQmqCx
your shoulders and not just mine alone."847Please respect copyright.PENANAvrk1XoCtJl
"But I did tell you that I would handle it, didn't I?"847Please respect copyright.PENANAUj7b5jJm2b
"Whether you told her 847Please respect copyright.PENANAXzcFfohCp8
the truth later on, the fact is she was still going to get mad. You guys847Please respect copyright.PENANARqjPvbVjhM
talked a while ago, didn't you? How was that handling things? She is 847Please respect copyright.PENANAFC1XkcJSQR
still furious and mostly at me."847Please respect copyright.PENANAHY7jMSWGPv
"GD, I think Sam is 847Please respect copyright.PENANA0A7r9FvUSX
right," said Seungri. "Zoey is one who gets pretty emotional and even if847Please respect copyright.PENANADvHhJ1H1lL
you told her the truth much later, she was still going to get pissed 847Please respect copyright.PENANAVevRneHJVC
like she is now."847Please respect copyright.PENANAATta4J6X7G
"And she would throw 847Please respect copyright.PENANA2pfmHMBokE
stuff at us," said Mike. "Trust me, right now, Zoey isn't as mad as you 847Please respect copyright.PENANAfHaYDboWGs
would expect her to be or else she would have done exactly that. The 847Please respect copyright.PENANA3RW0DITmpA
throwing stuff at us thing."847Please respect copyright.PENANAFBjkIs9Wjs
"Look GD, if you're 847Please respect copyright.PENANAxzbsTHZaC1
finding a way to blame me for all this, I agree with you," I said. "But 847Please respect copyright.PENANAQdMby3TKWx
now isn't the time to start blaming each other. It isn't going to work."847Please respect copyright.PENANAi4cMWzzvaY
"Then what will?" G-Dragon asked. "You know pretty well that we all can't calm Zoey down because of you."847Please respect copyright.PENANANAbENhSYNO
"Here we go again with 847Please respect copyright.PENANAPFOI3sTVtk
the blaming," I said as I raised my hands in the air in frustration. I 847Please respect copyright.PENANAeLnjaGpd8y
turned away from him and tried to think of what to say next.847Please respect copyright.PENANA38mNiLHVp2
"Do you know what?" I said as I faced him again. "I give up."847Please respect copyright.PENANAv2rxgivbSO
The room was silent when everyone turned to look at the me.847Please respect copyright.PENANAoFHFcXlYr0
"What?" G-Dragon asked.847Please respect copyright.PENANAEHmn5APxGC
"I give up," I repeated.847Please respect copyright.PENANAvwBB2RyUXI
"If I really wanted to, GD, I would have told Zoey a long time ago 847Please respect copyright.PENANAjZRuXz3Ul5
about this even before you went to Paris but I didn't because I wasn't 847Please respect copyright.PENANAfJEtVsD90u
too sure. The biggest mistake you made was leading her on and that gave 847Please respect copyright.PENANAW6ZSc7cJJm
her hope that your relationship would work. You and I should both be 847Please respect copyright.PENANApYxc0XJ3hN
blamed for what's happened to Zoey. I didn't tell her the truth and 847Please respect copyright.PENANAge1UA4UiFn
that's also my biggest mistake."847Please respect copyright.PENANAsW6SW4CHyN
The air in the room 847Please respect copyright.PENANAEEGEk7rIaN
became stale and I bet everyone else noticed it too. No one said a word.847Please respect copyright.PENANALa0lypBlVx
This time it was G-Dragon and I holding the floor.847Please respect copyright.PENANAJ79qaoTaKo
"I give up," I said as I continued to look at G-Dragon. "Blame me all you want. It isn't going to be the first time now, is it?"847Please respect copyright.PENANAXCjMhSXBB9
The others looked at me 847Please respect copyright.PENANAOEGqp1Ig0m
then back at G-Dragon waiting for him to say something. But he didn't. 847Please respect copyright.PENANAH3X5EieXHQ
He continued to look at me and I knew I hit the nail on the head this 847Please respect copyright.PENANAVZoE3bIAWd
time. I could tell in his eyes that he was furious.847Please respect copyright.PENANA7BkZT6vA8a
Without a word, he 847Please respect copyright.PENANAmQS6bsG7rJ
turned around and opened the door. Upon opening it, there stood Lee. She847Please respect copyright.PENANA92GmDI81Nl
stepped aside for G-Dragon to pass and without a care in the world, he 847Please respect copyright.PENANAAE7SVFkTQz
walked past her. Lee continued to look at him as he went done the hall, 847Please respect copyright.PENANAXucoUZHdAo
then she came in.847Please respect copyright.PENANAMGcsCPaQDe
"Sorry for coming in at such an awkward time," said Lee. "But I have some news that I think will be helpful."847Please respect copyright.PENANARKuVGTnJb6
"What is it?" Daesung asked.847Please respect copyright.PENANAW7JGK3IZfS
"The choreographer won't847Please respect copyright.PENANAq1XXjaaSew
be able to come after lunch. He has some personal things to attend to, 847Please respect copyright.PENANAd0aUrcgP4r
so, practise will resume on Monday."847Please respect copyright.PENANAFS8BOrHKfF
"Phew! Thank goodness," said Christine.847Please respect copyright.PENANA4fq90BCPmb
"Well, given what's going on, you will need it," said Lee.847Please respect copyright.PENANAry9yrQfui8
"You haven't told our managers, have you?" Taeyang asked.847Please respect copyright.PENANACPwjCSYmFY
"No, that will just make things worse."847Please respect copyright.PENANAKxvW45TNuk
"Well, I'm glad," I said. "Maybe we can work things out with Zoey and G-Dragon."847Please respect copyright.PENANAHvKLEg5YhA
"I'll handle GD," said TOP. "You will handle Zoey."847Please respect copyright.PENANADNvk2VhUpg
"Christine and Sam will do it. Count me out," said Mike. "I would rather talk to G-Dragon than the drama queen."847Please respect copyright.PENANAFcyTyt11Gp
"Hey, we might need you 847Please respect copyright.PENANAO9g3cNb16k
with, Zoey," said Christine. "Just like Collins, you also know how to 847Please respect copyright.PENANAthIOPwDJKM
put her down. You're quite good at it."847Please respect copyright.PENANAxAMOKFe268
"Thanks for the compliment, but I'm sticking to my word."847Please respect copyright.PENANABpKawWvkUC
"Mike might make things worse," said Daniel. "Maybe it's best if he stays out of it."847Please respect copyright.PENANAHebFYbgFym
"Hopefully, by Monday, everything is going to be okay," said Taeyang.847Please respect copyright.PENANAbxaOf9InUn
"Hopefully," I said. I sighed. "Look guys, I'm sorry."847Please respect copyright.PENANAawYqFAZAEJ
"For what?" TOP asked.847Please respect copyright.PENANAMCykuemUx0
"For this whole mess. I shouldn't have kept all this from you."847Please respect copyright.PENANA3QPB6JewKG
"Sam," Christine walked 847Please respect copyright.PENANAKRC6gdp0yE
up to me and placed her arm around my shoulder. "I understand why you 847Please respect copyright.PENANAY9I6QPGNHy
did it and if you ask me, it's not really your fault. You were just 847Please respect copyright.PENANAqk4hE7v24F
doing what you thought was right."847Please respect copyright.PENANAmAibGN8lbt
"I also agree with Christine," said Daniel. "You shouldn't beat yourself up because of this. We're in this together now."847Please respect copyright.PENANAWy2nWiJj7F
"Yes, we all are in this with you," said Daesung, giving me an encouraging smile.847Please respect copyright.PENANA32sgQUBWVy
"Then its best we go back to the hotel then," said Mike.847Please respect copyright.PENANA3zSlqQDGjH
"Let's go," said Lee.847Please respect copyright.PENANAyPrkILjUsq
"Then we will meet on Monday," said Taeyang.847Please respect copyright.PENANAi9mjBoVTWm
"Tell me how everything goes with G-Dragon," I said.847Please respect copyright.PENANA50JCexCgEB
"We will," said TOP as he walked up to me. "Now, stop sulking and smile for me, everything will be alright. You'll see."847Please respect copyright.PENANAkaMBGI4a2z
I only managed to smile at him and nodded my head. "Yes, I'll."847Please respect copyright.PENANAwW6owOjDcR
As the others started to847Please respect copyright.PENANAl8VMHZCvHo
leave the room one by one, I got the sheet of paper I was writing on, 847Please respect copyright.PENANA1z3AnMudfT
folded it and put it away in my purse.847Please respect copyright.PENANAgPGrqWcyob
"What were you writing on that thing?" Christine asked, as her eyes were on the folded paper as I put it away.847Please respect copyright.PENANAZz4kOfKkCe
"You'll know soon enough," I said, with a sad smile.847Please respect copyright.PENANAmGDB5IwAZh
"Come, we better get going," said Lee after the BigBang members had left.847Please respect copyright.PENANAAe0kxHXEXU
"Can you guys go ahead? I would like to talk to Zoey."847Please respect copyright.PENANAvQHv6RPjqP
"Don't you want us to come with you?" Christine asked.847Please respect copyright.PENANAlwLCwMKjfr
"No, I want to see if I can manage to talk to her on my own."847Please respect copyright.PENANAPga5ZTuPFO
Christine nodded her head and I could tell she was worried about what was going to happen. "If you say so."847Please respect copyright.PENANA7a21P5lVRf
"We will be waiting for you downstairs," said Lee.847Please respect copyright.PENANAS3KJPsRmmM
We came out of the 847Please respect copyright.PENANAeHLMgIUH5N
studio and the others went to use the elevator to head downstairs while I847Please respect copyright.PENANADfEUb7RCBQ
used the stairs to head to the dance studio.847Please respect copyright.PENANACMMoUhlEz5
I thought of what I was 847Please respect copyright.PENANAucE0Dyt3G0
going to say as I walked down the hall. I was pretty scared and I was 847Please respect copyright.PENANAliRoicxSYv
afraid that if Zoey saw me, she would pounce on me and try to scratch my847Please respect copyright.PENANA75bqc4uu6g
eyes out.847Please respect copyright.PENANA4WhjATTfAM
When I reached the room 847Please respect copyright.PENANACnA9ySShB9
we had been using for practice earlier, I froze by the door. I was 847Please respect copyright.PENANAqTKOUPRYqS
afraid of touching the door handle, thinking that I would get burnt.847Please respect copyright.PENANAYsi7Ai1oy4
Maybe this was a bad 847Please respect copyright.PENANAjp8fpv6WOX
idea and going in there was like stepping into the lion's den. I wanted 847Please respect copyright.PENANAxHTaKdlSVZ
to turn around and bail, but my body and my conscious wasn't allowing me847Please respect copyright.PENANAiN5RQgV8Yj
to. I felt caught in between two worlds.847Please respect copyright.PENANA1l0cS8PXxt
My body and conscious 847Please respect copyright.PENANAbobsp0YmY4
won this time around. My hand was reaching for the handle and when I 847Please respect copyright.PENANAMM4pykqSmM
held it, I turned it and slowly pushed the door open.847Please respect copyright.PENANAafJtmsLUrW
"Are you kidding me right now?" came Zoey's voice in the room. "I can't do that. It's going to be risky."847Please respect copyright.PENANASdOnKzjf8V
I paused before I could 847Please respect copyright.PENANA5gW4wTvWE0
fully open the door. Who was Zoey talking to? My eyes grew wide. Was it 847Please respect copyright.PENANAy7dhGDBhWa
who I think it was? Derrick's brother?847Please respect copyright.PENANAKMfRley2ly
"Look, calm down, okay? This is clearly not the time to talk right now."847Please respect copyright.PENANAo7H2SblWOF
I continued to listen. Maybe I can find out what was going on between the two of them.847Please respect copyright.PENANAqoMR9qXL68
"Just so you know, I'm also not in a good mood!"847Please respect copyright.PENANAK5ZoiCIyrM
I winced at the sound of847Please respect copyright.PENANAk3XzBRojq5
her voice. She wasn't in a good mood indeed. I still had time to get 847Please respect copyright.PENANAPYez3pq2Ah
out of here, but I was rooted at the door.847Please respect copyright.PENANAa4UJUhXrU5
"Okay, fine. We will 847Please respect copyright.PENANAIsfiBjdNZy
meet, soon. I'll tell you when. I can't meet you now. Things back here 847Please respect copyright.PENANAF7e35iehKe
just got complicated and it will be strange if I disappear like I did 847Please respect copyright.PENANANiSNjRGSi8
last time."847Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z8Zd22BpK
I wanted to sigh in frustration. She didn't give out any clue as to what the two were up to. What a bummer.847Please respect copyright.PENANAgyn8TALWmm
"I'll see you soon. Don't worry, I have it safe and sound with me and I'll deliver it to you as promised."847Please respect copyright.PENANAaDKa45VQFs
Now that was one thing I considered a clue. She had something with her. Could it be in our room, hidden somewhere? I hope so.847Please respect copyright.PENANAlRUIw1pHd2
I heard Zoey say bye and hang up on her phone. I heard her sigh in frustration and mutter something to herself.847Please respect copyright.PENANAyzs91rA94e
This was my cue. I 847Please respect copyright.PENANAdNq1o4DN3l
waited for a good thirty seconds till I fully opened the door. I stepped847Please respect copyright.PENANAD2XcySJePl
into the room and Zoey looked up at me from her phone.847Please respect copyright.PENANAdZxCKaV0KP
"We won't be having practise," I said as I approached her.847Please respect copyright.PENANAjFBNnSaktC
"Why? Did you tell our managers what's really been going on?" Zoey asked as she folded her arms.847Please respect copyright.PENANAu8f0qHcZBY
"No, it's not that," I said. "You know none of us could do that."847Please respect copyright.PENANAOoO2BNFDIU
"Given what you've done so far, I wouldn't be surprised."847Please respect copyright.PENANAV0yAZKdrfm
"What have I done so far?"847Please respect copyright.PENANAJtadoKseQz
"Lied to me and everyone else."847Please respect copyright.PENANAD3PyTLBe0z
"I know I lied to you and I should have told you about G-Dragon earlier. I had tried to tell this morning but I couldn't."847Please respect copyright.PENANAsTyXu4dNtc
"You knew that G-Dragon liked you and you didn't even tell me about it."847Please respect copyright.PENANAwHBjwtb8XY
"What did you want me to847Please respect copyright.PENANAhjYX0z1JTw
do? I knew you liked G-Dragon but I didn't know all this between you 847Please respect copyright.PENANARH5H3kn9oc
two was going to get serious. When you told me that you two had kissed, I847Please respect copyright.PENANAbM09Z60Ue2
wasn't too sure by then if G-Dragon even liked me."847Please respect copyright.PENANA8ohNm8UjUk
"You didn't want to tell me because you wanted him to yourself."847Please respect copyright.PENANAQpUpCUySKm
I sighed. "Come on, Zoey. That makes no sense. I wouldn't do anything to hurt you."847Please respect copyright.PENANAQZFumzf6f4
"You just did."847Please respect copyright.PENANA1b5uValRaY
"Won't you just listen to me? Please! Why would I want G-Dragon when I really like Daesung? You think about it."847Please respect copyright.PENANA1V1gYriGq5
"I don't have to, Sam. 847Please respect copyright.PENANAtAfonxEdk7
You can't make me to. I considered you my best friend and if you really 847Please respect copyright.PENANAREc1YExBUR
didn't want to hurt me like you said, you would have told me all this 847Please respect copyright.PENANATef9Zq2bI9
before."847Please respect copyright.PENANA9GBSsVNAeK
I looked down at my feet847Please respect copyright.PENANAKVucPrQ7m9
and I knew she was right. I had hurt her a lot and now she thought of 847Please respect copyright.PENANA4eTHaGw4g6
as me as someone who just stole her boyfriend.847Please respect copyright.PENANAB7xBNh4EXS
"Look, whether you like 847Please respect copyright.PENANAvoSGVsFVG5
G-Dragon or G-Dragon likes me or I like Daesung, all this wasn't going 847Please respect copyright.PENANAg3l6pFnxEn
to last and you know it. You remember Collins' golden rule. And as much 847Please respect copyright.PENANAOlS9b98HzO
as it's a little harsh on our part, it very much shows that creating a 847Please respect copyright.PENANAsJKWMVPPw4
real love story wasn't going to be possible. I might be wrong, but you 847Please respect copyright.PENANAvHltReOYkD
know that I'm right. Sooner or later, we will head back home and I for 847Please respect copyright.PENANAOjamTraXAJ
one don't really believe in long distance relationships."847Please respect copyright.PENANAtGRYnoffdW
"But it would have worked out for G-Dragon and I," said Zoey, tapping her foot on the floor impatiently.847Please respect copyright.PENANAu7HIylANy0
"No, it wouldn't, Zoey. Not when he likes someone else."847Please respect copyright.PENANAT7BPl1pnN7
"You, right?"847Please respect copyright.PENANA4FpPAdE7GS
I didn't want to admit it, so I kept quiet.847Please respect copyright.PENANAWNxT1spHx5
Zoey nodded her head and847Please respect copyright.PENANA9CgMGhReIZ
I could see tears in her eyes. "I see you're right on that one, Sam. 847Please respect copyright.PENANATj622F3N6L
All this wasn't going to work out. And it's all thanks to you."847Please respect copyright.PENANAewZEfBSaeG
I was shaken by her last847Please respect copyright.PENANA6DVjLlXg8u
sentence. Great! Just when I thought I was finally getting to her, I 847Please respect copyright.PENANAJIrAukYTyj
was being blamed. Again! I sighed. This cannot be happening.847Please respect copyright.PENANAXZobvXNp1W
"That's not true, Zoey," I said.847Please respect copyright.PENANAaehjlg54FS
"You made G-Dragon fall in love with you. So it's your fault, isn't it?"847Please respect copyright.PENANAb1EovRVCNH
"We don't choose who we fall in love with."847Please respect copyright.PENANAFStiCxI5Vr
Zoey didn't say a word 847Please respect copyright.PENANA4QIZbmGh3M
as she quickly walked past me and bumped into my shoulder as she passed 847Please respect copyright.PENANAWBIoDtja1W
and went out the door. That hurt and I was hugely disappointed that I 847Please respect copyright.PENANA8krxFaqjS0
couldn't get to Zoey to forgive me.847Please respect copyright.PENANAo9d2gwwhgp
But now more than ever, 847Please respect copyright.PENANAlRqETwmcZc
she was in trouble and I had to help her out. I couldn't abandon her 847Please respect copyright.PENANAiH3Gbzudi2
now. Dealing with Derrick's brother in a broken state she was in, might 847Please respect copyright.PENANAIRYcC8ZLUb
just lead to something fatal. And I couldn't let that happen.847Please respect copyright.PENANA25zYfsnq3V
As I came out of the studio, I pulled out my phone from my purse and called Derrick.847Please respect copyright.PENANAR5CBGNS4Qn
"I wasn't expecting a call from you," said Derrick when he picked up. He sounded calm and that soothed me a little.847Please respect copyright.PENANA3iK8FJHU6k
"I called because I heard Zoey talk to your brother over the phone," I said.847Please respect copyright.PENANAkm0snIbUkG
"Really? Any idea what might be going on?"847Please respect copyright.PENANAdvZR7WsyX2
"No, but I think Zoey is keeping something for him and is planning on giving it to him."847Please respect copyright.PENANA3npEFSG1RS
"When?"847Please respect copyright.PENANANcYoC6kFV1
"She didn't say. She told him she would meet with him when everything around here cools down."847Please respect copyright.PENANAfDwbVEIpFH
"Why? What happened?"847Please respect copyright.PENANAkaQFRy85Qg
I signed as I turned 847Please respect copyright.PENANAVBTn6G16pQ
round the corner to use the stairs. "She and I had some argument. I'll 847Please respect copyright.PENANANg9Rz3lSth
tell you about it later. For now, I'll have to keep an eye on her."847Please respect copyright.PENANAoXLU5mGOWE
"Ya, you do that," said 847Please respect copyright.PENANAymjRbEcMoc
Derrick. I knew he was trying to avoid asking further questions about 847Please respect copyright.PENANApvIkbpXvwb
the argument. "I'll see what I can dig up about my brother's recent 847Please respect copyright.PENANAq2ndK9PPEq
activities and see what I can find."847Please respect copyright.PENANADTgErOhxrW
"Okay. I'll keep in touch."847Please respect copyright.PENANAJerfPblH5t
"Okay, all the best."847Please respect copyright.PENANAP8nIZIdHjz
"Thanks. I'll need it."847Please respect copyright.PENANA1WvXL1nQ2C
I cut the line and I had847Please respect copyright.PENANAEnS6s86Zvo
reached the bottom of the stairs. I found myself in the lobby and I 847Please respect copyright.PENANAY8hKaiDou4
went out to the SUV waiting outside.847Please respect copyright.PENANACCOxdQc8mG
The others were already 847Please respect copyright.PENANALR8UCSQMuv
settled inside. As I sat next to Zoey and closed the door, she turned 847Please respect copyright.PENANADqoJx3jvbT
the other way to avoid my gaze. I didn't say anything as the car drove 847Please respect copyright.PENANAJQO5SaaLvX
out of the YG premises. I felt like I had already done enough on my 847Please respect copyright.PENANAATG9hFqY7y
part.847Please respect copyright.PENANA826e2Abzjl
And no one in the car said anything either till we got to the hotel.
