Sunday was quiet and 868Please respect copyright.PENANAPCkC5oEbfI
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 868Please respect copyright.PENANABfGrJ7cLq8
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 868Please respect copyright.PENANAktn2YTmndH
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or868Please respect copyright.PENANAVaUJEgEWc9
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.868Please respect copyright.PENANAxLLayXI84a
Last night, Zoey moved 868Please respect copyright.PENANAo3Q5CVUWL3
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to868Please respect copyright.PENANA7pIEzMIxf3
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 868Please respect copyright.PENANABjDXhcfZBw
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 868Please respect copyright.PENANAiihLT7VoDH
talk to her either.868Please respect copyright.PENANAsTBCDHj4Z9
And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.868Please respect copyright.PENANAed8NGv1U6Y
It so happened that 868Please respect copyright.PENANAs2wf1cQfkD
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 868Please respect copyright.PENANAaYicaiAKoO
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 868Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZpbQBEmrd
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 868Please respect copyright.PENANAZqqdPfiXAS
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 868Please respect copyright.PENANAONKC0li4Pq
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.868Please respect copyright.PENANASDqqlbDNG5
Now, I was sitting 868Please respect copyright.PENANAHinYzbnrVS
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 868Please respect copyright.PENANAes3Wa2EZMm
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had868Please respect copyright.PENANAesvM4aeQPc
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 868Please respect copyright.PENANAHm2J2dxhcq
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.868Please respect copyright.PENANAZCNPIacNEx
I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.868Please respect copyright.PENANADlF9zCgao5
"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.868Please respect copyright.PENANA3gwjjn7QJw
"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.868Please respect copyright.PENANA3Z4Ox1laZs
"You heard me," said Lee looking down on me, with an annoying look on her face. "Are you going to sit here the whole day?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAra0Eq7jtF8
"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.868Please respect copyright.PENANAkuji4Mgtvy
"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.868Please respect copyright.PENANAX5HhgBVA4w
"Lee!" I whined, putting868Please respect copyright.PENANAcQXGw3yBqJ
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 868Please respect copyright.PENANAlDIA0UPuJH
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.868Please respect copyright.PENANAog6EMSFsoO
"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."868Please respect copyright.PENANAeEuj1X4d3x
"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.868Please respect copyright.PENANAJo8Ol1tib1
"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."868Please respect copyright.PENANACIMZaUu8SO
"Why? I want to stay here."868Please respect copyright.PENANAUmHjWfWF0g
"I need to go and shop 868Please respect copyright.PENANAOmSeZOgcT9
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after868Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9JEJQDWuy
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."868Please respect copyright.PENANAByq4yDFLdp
"But watching YouTube 868Please respect copyright.PENANAmQqRAYvsSq
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 868Please respect copyright.PENANABLjX6AvKYC
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."868Please respect copyright.PENANAHxH6HurJkD
Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"868Please respect copyright.PENANANICGizS0bs
"I think Lee is right, 868Please respect copyright.PENANAWo7VOGUCzA
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 868Please respect copyright.PENANAoPKVl8iDz7
out on Sundays like you do back home."868Please respect copyright.PENANALi909YhmWj
"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.868Please respect copyright.PENANApIRYoaWmWZ
"I know you're a fan of 868Please respect copyright.PENANAMIaNkVSl2R
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 868Please respect copyright.PENANATT5yvxkjHn
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.868Please respect copyright.PENANAzJIzHUrWB9
"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANAJYZK5jjylK
"Well, that's what 868Please respect copyright.PENANAgJDNu5jQtW
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 868Please respect copyright.PENANAI8AyguG0uq
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."868Please respect copyright.PENANAWxIR54TmOS
"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."868Please respect copyright.PENANAhOmzitp56B
"That's what we are 868Please respect copyright.PENANAqO81XG36RO
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 868Please respect copyright.PENANAAvCzE99GGA
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like868Please respect copyright.PENANAYJy94MLOss
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."868Please respect copyright.PENANAUPMpkntlXw
Daniel's right. I had to868Please respect copyright.PENANAuAvBOp6i0w
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 868Please respect copyright.PENANAQm0YiOf18t
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 868Please respect copyright.PENANALqYItL5hCv
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?868Please respect copyright.PENANA9ygBGShQCP
Unlike the others, Lee 868Please respect copyright.PENANA9JKUkBUZji
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 868Please respect copyright.PENANAecPmP8u4d2
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 868Please respect copyright.PENANAGK5fUZFo5j
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 868Please respect copyright.PENANAdqJfnZHxtM
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 868Please respect copyright.PENANAWShMrc0EIZ
and Zoey together.868Please respect copyright.PENANAuL7LlQpmyt
I really wanted to tell 868Please respect copyright.PENANAYLMUvEgZKt
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 868Please respect copyright.PENANAzpCplYzajC
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I868Please respect copyright.PENANAWJq6TgmUxK
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 868Please respect copyright.PENANAYGFXVYBLCr
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 868Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7MriKRVJ8
When was I ever going to change?868Please respect copyright.PENANAH500uj2DIf
"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."868Please respect copyright.PENANAe93mrHlBeE
"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."868Please respect copyright.PENANA0cgH9aDcwx
"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANAX669d0KNGG
"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."868Please respect copyright.PENANAoHoBmYZXUT
"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.868Please respect copyright.PENANAIlsLHbWo9c
Lee, Mike and Daniel 868Please respect copyright.PENANABicfYscIo8
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 868Please respect copyright.PENANA3aHsZzcDJ1
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to868Please respect copyright.PENANAiVZB6cfpoD
my room to get my shoes.868Please respect copyright.PENANA0ujcmD7uUC
After I wore my white 868Please respect copyright.PENANAuiUWfEVaE5
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 868Please respect copyright.PENANACiihC4Zwy8
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 868Please respect copyright.PENANAUhKJangDfJ
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 868Please respect copyright.PENANAWTSJp3Acz2
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each868Please respect copyright.PENANAh8Fvaed87f
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.868Please respect copyright.PENANA2vP2XzLYQZ
"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."868Please respect copyright.PENANAUN3WMiE7j7
"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."868Please respect copyright.PENANAfRGKxbgUJp
I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.868Please respect copyright.PENANASg2NPhRXVp
I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.868Please respect copyright.PENANA4ATTdo4xpN
"We can go, now," I told her.868Please respect copyright.PENANAL501TsGj8U
"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.868Please respect copyright.PENANAPBMEFswRCx
"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.868Please respect copyright.PENANAADbnvuetkE
"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.868Please respect copyright.PENANAW7zCmj0XhN
I smiled back at him. 868Please respect copyright.PENANAhMi4SvgNgj
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 868Please respect copyright.PENANAsUJlW4s9do
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 868Please respect copyright.PENANANfRbH3iASn
guards in the other SUV.868Please respect copyright.PENANAAfMzLgfAEf
"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.868Please respect copyright.PENANAHDymp1ASG0
"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.868Please respect copyright.PENANAQH0FstT4ur
"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."868Please respect copyright.PENANAt76o348338
The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.868Please respect copyright.PENANApuiCSAbctw
"So, where are we going?" I asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANAC0eSx10S2U
"To the mall," Lee answered.868Please respect copyright.PENANAc17t7JgJcP
"How will the mall help me figure things out?"868Please respect copyright.PENANA9VmJjgxPEM
"What's wrong with the 868Please respect copyright.PENANAamu9cmeEk1
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 868Please respect copyright.PENANA7qs6yqqaDa
best plans just come out of the blue."868Please respect copyright.PENANAWQ3s3MzlwM
"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."868Please respect copyright.PENANAKyhkfoWOFM
"And waste the day away? No way."868Please respect copyright.PENANA8bbORYHFPg
"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."868Please respect copyright.PENANA2hiumd1qH6
"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."868Please respect copyright.PENANAuWbFfjg0mG
"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."868Please respect copyright.PENANA4zN0AXNiZZ
"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAER2Xckyg9d
"No. Zoey might have 868Please respect copyright.PENANAvrRGzhaxSq
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 868Please respect copyright.PENANAaLVy9698OX
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 868Please respect copyright.PENANAwSriBbBlAR
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."868Please respect copyright.PENANA9NmmM5TWPK
"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8LaO3i66E
"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."868Please respect copyright.PENANAb2CS3iI6fp
"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAyI6ujlxuQf
"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."868Please respect copyright.PENANAWiM9W5KDHw
Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.868Please respect copyright.PENANASVV6EBpoRY
"I don't know what to do868Please respect copyright.PENANAUCDJBtnsub
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey868Please respect copyright.PENANAQavkNtsLhs
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey868Please respect copyright.PENANAwpT5tFne18
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 868Please respect copyright.PENANAIMMQtQZmfR
somehow."868Please respect copyright.PENANA267Fj24aRs
"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."868Please respect copyright.PENANAztYrOzlb2H
"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."868Please respect copyright.PENANAVt9ZfmWzMG
"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."868Please respect copyright.PENANATj9CCpMvDb
I folded my arms as I 868Please respect copyright.PENANAMmmg6pDGT9
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 868Please respect copyright.PENANAY3YCr6xJIU
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 868Please respect copyright.PENANARsuvmdFITN
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 868Please respect copyright.PENANAjstYcSboFl
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.868Please respect copyright.PENANAVJbH5jz2N9
We soon reached the mall868Please respect copyright.PENANA96mHSu66JY
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 868Please respect copyright.PENANA15P1ZKPrKq
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 868Please respect copyright.PENANANa2X1Cu5HH
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 868Please respect copyright.PENANAY9VeU4QQxa
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 868Please respect copyright.PENANAHhjX5eg1sV
the bodyguards were around.868Please respect copyright.PENANAjJxxuQSqd8
Lee and I first went 868Please respect copyright.PENANAJH3H5rxoPN
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 868Please respect copyright.PENANAUOJ7lecmck
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for868Please respect copyright.PENANAVJScvAiJ2B
a while. I was having fun.868Please respect copyright.PENANAn1BJK50cGe
And when it came to the fans, some were brave enough to go past the guards and come take photos with me and take autographs.868Please respect copyright.PENANAI6E2gROhsN
Lee and I soon came out 868Please respect copyright.PENANAOMoW460PZL
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 868Please respect copyright.PENANAML24a8ZSw9
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 868Please respect copyright.PENANALivzLWtFw8
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 868Please respect copyright.PENANA8vLGxrlUZy
our bags because we bought way too much.868Please respect copyright.PENANAh0EOyWigTc
When we walked out of 868Please respect copyright.PENANAEPgvuksP3g
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 868Please respect copyright.PENANAMXxNgdLfWF
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 868Please respect copyright.PENANA8eZhMJvAB7
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 868Please respect copyright.PENANAbSgE6kwQeU
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.868Please respect copyright.PENANAXAlUzXLB1v
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.868Please respect copyright.PENANA8dVK9ypTn8
I couldn't answer Lee. I868Please respect copyright.PENANAiLjDqgV4bX
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 868Please respect copyright.PENANAR40MyP2Fn3
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.868Please respect copyright.PENANAUIxFBBtCvE
"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.868Please respect copyright.PENANAavysURqwhZ
"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.868Please respect copyright.PENANA76tH2Gpl6W
"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAeq1VpiVlbQ
"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."868Please respect copyright.PENANALDsOxnuoXX
"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."868Please respect copyright.PENANAmhxOaVbZoK
"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.868Please respect copyright.PENANA7iKIlbMveJ
"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"868Please respect copyright.PENANA0Q3lvizCQG
"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.868Please respect copyright.PENANAlf4rJkJbtO
I looked at each and 868Please respect copyright.PENANAh6c4HRHqau
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 868Please respect copyright.PENANAWmr43BWDQq
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.868Please respect copyright.PENANAag36xsclPF
"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.868Please respect copyright.PENANAeFKYNOhWxd
"What?" Lee looked 868Please respect copyright.PENANA0b6Bfe5Fve
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 868Please respect copyright.PENANA2G2adj4Cy8
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 868Please respect copyright.PENANASxyLQDBuy1
panda."868Please respect copyright.PENANATt4YdTLBje
"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."868Please respect copyright.PENANAgd8RTbPijE
"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.868Please respect copyright.PENANAFuXuOUjIJw
"Derrick's brother sent 868Please respect copyright.PENANALh6EWkkL1d
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 868Please respect copyright.PENANAVCzdyKog9B
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy868Please respect copyright.PENANAZFI0DfiVE8
bear."868Please respect copyright.PENANAbb8WuCdGDf
"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."868Please respect copyright.PENANAMCJvJTkQL8
"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAd6RwZShhUc
"I don't get it though."868Please respect copyright.PENANA4yKvd6I4WI
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 868Please respect copyright.PENANAXhemtCM0RQ
so concerned about that small teddy?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAjOIzyu8Ldk
"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."868Please respect copyright.PENANA6jeEj8yKQo
***868Please respect copyright.PENANAuWLjshXWGV
Zoey's P.O.V868Please respect copyright.PENANAaakr4BbO5W
"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.868Please respect copyright.PENANAmjO5UAhhGH
"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.868Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ1cgLUzd0
"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."868Please respect copyright.PENANA1nBG5v28e3
"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."868Please respect copyright.PENANAu0oZDqjzyo
"How am I treating her unfairly?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAYoR1jv6DPx
"You moved out of the 868Please respect copyright.PENANAV9mia92Upt
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 868Please respect copyright.PENANAG2FNmbEp7R
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 868Please respect copyright.PENANAHxr67vXJaE
of alien or something."868Please respect copyright.PENANAg5NXAuwDoO
I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."868Please respect copyright.PENANAlpjwwJ9TlX
In a quick flash, a 868Please respect copyright.PENANAnwjgcDWVi1
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 868Please respect copyright.PENANA1XMaALXywk
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.868Please respect copyright.PENANAdCCZImdHlA
"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.868Please respect copyright.PENANAh05CW9E1C0
"Do you want more of 868Please respect copyright.PENANAo08lJoh9Jw
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 868Please respect copyright.PENANAcInhjPsnaN
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.868Please respect copyright.PENANAs6PaciLCxJ
"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."868Please respect copyright.PENANAKTkAwPcnWx
"You got that right." 868Please respect copyright.PENANAo9hCyKQ59B
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't868Please respect copyright.PENANAafIPc4Mr9a
ignore her like you're doing forever."868Please respect copyright.PENANAdGSM4K1TLf
"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.868Please respect copyright.PENANApT8qeeFPCA
"You know that sooner or later you will need her. And besides, she is always going to be around whether you like it or not."868Please respect copyright.PENANAQHOjPH4Cpy
"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."868Please respect copyright.PENANAhHhdkG95eh
Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.868Please respect copyright.PENANAPwr2XhtskX
"It's normal for someone868Please respect copyright.PENANAxUEPXhNpHt
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last868Please respect copyright.PENANAFLZReSKa5n
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 868Please respect copyright.PENANAcfSZ7vYsX1
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,868Please respect copyright.PENANAjTxuv94VUF
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 868Please respect copyright.PENANAQoFdvDoBOv
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."868Please respect copyright.PENANA6GtJXGLfCq
I always hated such kind868Please respect copyright.PENANA8j6204cZiN
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I868Please respect copyright.PENANA0NkOAfToUQ
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact868Please respect copyright.PENANAviO6fbCCAX
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,868Please respect copyright.PENANACJWjEsPOHM
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I868Please respect copyright.PENANAdLhOZ0lzCD
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 868Please respect copyright.PENANAIUyZXIbrjl
nothing.868Please respect copyright.PENANAKliUj7qRxS
I've never told anyone 868Please respect copyright.PENANApYSvEU9oS5
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 868Please respect copyright.PENANAlXlqjB3SYv
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a868Please respect copyright.PENANAI0f6HA4iFz
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 868Please respect copyright.PENANA7DTkQ0sk5y
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 868Please respect copyright.PENANAlUJQGGybSv
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 868Please respect copyright.PENANAAUHVhfhMOr
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.868Please respect copyright.PENANAL5Uqug1YeJ
I am Yin and she is 868Please respect copyright.PENANACkd8YIUObp
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 868Please respect copyright.PENANAU990hZkL0c
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 868Please respect copyright.PENANAJJC67unrjz
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam868Please respect copyright.PENANAxYS2D4IZrE
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?868Please respect copyright.PENANABxYVoyzOFP
And now when I needed 868Please respect copyright.PENANAR76iLuovKF
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 868Please respect copyright.PENANAKiwogK0IZf
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into868Please respect copyright.PENANAPqEKIHVIst
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 868Please respect copyright.PENANA3DsmZUNhzH
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 868Please respect copyright.PENANA4XhLctHSGj
serious situation with a very dangerous person.868Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7pV6CpztY
It all begun when I went868Please respect copyright.PENANAdXnK6jhWyj
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 868Please respect copyright.PENANAFw5uoQOXoA
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 868Please respect copyright.PENANAfbuNs6cKa2
this mess.868Please respect copyright.PENANAGQGc0h084r
We were having so much 868Please respect copyright.PENANALqCmKDZR6C
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 868Please respect copyright.PENANA9QCkM3PKzy
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 868Please respect copyright.PENANApFtrDlhYkZ
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 868Please respect copyright.PENANANx1sq7I8qo
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 868Please respect copyright.PENANAo9dSxT9npJ
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 868Please respect copyright.PENANA0jkBfKaHQN
things did go wrong.868Please respect copyright.PENANA6m6qGteQGN
As we were watching the 868Please respect copyright.PENANAvMMnpJEDBq
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 868Please respect copyright.PENANASNqs4t1v5X
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me868Please respect copyright.PENANAWktzSaeG9n
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.868Please respect copyright.PENANAkKBKqKNK3f
When I looked at him, he868Please respect copyright.PENANAlUJzROh9k1
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised868Please respect copyright.PENANAvyKjCiXpSg
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 868Please respect copyright.PENANAyijsqywX8A
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 868Please respect copyright.PENANAofMwtpabxh
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 868Please respect copyright.PENANA5bwt2rJKww
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.868Please respect copyright.PENANAVW42eYqfxO
After the show when 868Please respect copyright.PENANA1mYxKQKp09
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 868Please respect copyright.PENANAWmX54ldh7R
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 868Please respect copyright.PENANAb5EGWNaakh
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 868Please respect copyright.PENANAWwneV7Pxla
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 868Please respect copyright.PENANAQMu8zRhb6q
take a few minutes.868Please respect copyright.PENANAu729QvTUoL
I didn't find anything 868Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ5PxQnOVn
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 868Please respect copyright.PENANAj37nyKzqsT
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 868Please respect copyright.PENANAIEladBaG09
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 868Please respect copyright.PENANAWyv3bKxgpw
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 868Please respect copyright.PENANAk45pqHRd1R
too much.868Please respect copyright.PENANAVNWzZU1JQB
Jehan led the way out 868Please respect copyright.PENANAAqERSIzJ2M
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 868Please respect copyright.PENANAfBqyIEyC9b
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 868Please respect copyright.PENANAGehu07ZgD3
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 868Please respect copyright.PENANAvgXo7iCyNQ
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 868Please respect copyright.PENANAuR08ATyB1O
that I felt a little safe.868Please respect copyright.PENANAStt8etl9mx
The two of us soon found868Please respect copyright.PENANAKgKoehVZjn
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 868Please respect copyright.PENANAuitSizamwH
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 868Please respect copyright.PENANAHNDfsCpdSv
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 868Please respect copyright.PENANAFKGecR2Vav
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 868Please respect copyright.PENANAiix8f42xYY
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a868Please respect copyright.PENANA51c1JwgnGi
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 868Please respect copyright.PENANAO7Y8Bif0Gv
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing868Please respect copyright.PENANAnqPnmTvMRM
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 868Please respect copyright.PENANAoEGorGgTnq
menacing.868Please respect copyright.PENANAV45KHqK2YJ
He gave me something for868Please respect copyright.PENANAhKLxGnPTdR
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 868Please respect copyright.PENANA2JgZwaC0dp
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 868Please respect copyright.PENANApD6t9NjEM8
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 868Please respect copyright.PENANA6oNuIJKzmK
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 868Please respect copyright.PENANA2BZfzJGLgX
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 868Please respect copyright.PENANANixoHoYM0J
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.868Please respect copyright.PENANA1V2EncHU4t
Whatever he sent me that868Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1ljVbQXHk
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 868Please respect copyright.PENANAb4ZTCc8Kae
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 868Please respect copyright.PENANApVZ5yM3wPp
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 868Please respect copyright.PENANAX7w1DIjoao
happened yesterday.868Please respect copyright.PENANANJ0yjiTXTH
I had never been in this868Please respect copyright.PENANAyZHyEx0d4d
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?868Please respect copyright.PENANA0LyZI5lO14
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest868Please respect copyright.PENANAKIVJI47epW
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 868Please respect copyright.PENANAYfftLRivuc
crying out loud. I had to do something.868Please respect copyright.PENANA9k4X1TWD2h
My phone rang bringing 868Please respect copyright.PENANAPx0VGEzN6d
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 868Please respect copyright.PENANAIDv7XMtvir
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside868Please respect copyright.PENANAeJuqlSE1GM
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.868Please respect copyright.PENANAc2tEDybLP2
"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.868Please respect copyright.PENANAjryAX4ieUM
"I...uh, ya, I will," I said as I picked up the phone and answered the call. I could already feel myself starting to sweat.868Please respect copyright.PENANAWCK3lf1sxa
"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.868Please respect copyright.PENANAaK9HUeU6Hj
"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."868Please respect copyright.PENANAm9ihqAPQkq
I would have told him to868Please respect copyright.PENANAmoesP6Oad5
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 868Please respect copyright.PENANA2E2ELTX5s4
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.868Please respect copyright.PENANAVCMwRhFJu4
"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.868Please respect copyright.PENANAnkGGBJusx4
"Looks like you aren't 868Please respect copyright.PENANAutBZPl7Wm4
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.868Please respect copyright.PENANAAEYd8cuoim
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."868Please respect copyright.PENANARiUSp8FIxZ
"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.868Please respect copyright.PENANAGoS0m8GRki
"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAQo6JzuWkf1
"Just get to the point, 868Please respect copyright.PENANAnB66UvNNvU
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 868Please respect copyright.PENANAoSrbqeyLUC
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.868Please respect copyright.PENANATaWcF7oj59
"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.868Please respect copyright.PENANA0CBnLkcisn
"Today? Are you serious?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAwUlWZDn3yT
"You know that I am. We meet today."868Please respect copyright.PENANA660vZy1J06
"But where?"868Please respect copyright.PENANABX7NTbRLjZ
"At the mall."868Please respect copyright.PENANAEp5JveCeIs
For a moment I almost 868Please respect copyright.PENANAaLGZvi4yoK
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to868Please respect copyright.PENANA9otSQy1a1c
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 868Please respect copyright.PENANAEIMmpcv0Yp
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 868Please respect copyright.PENANAsNqg6RzkKl
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.868Please respect copyright.PENANALmS8JNCbpR
"What's so funny?" Jehan868Please respect copyright.PENANA9R48ZQJWoC
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 868Please respect copyright.PENANAX3Jdqqs4EE
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 868Please respect copyright.PENANAlENAMKs7Y8
myself.868Please respect copyright.PENANANaZzWpAA7N
"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."868Please respect copyright.PENANAugWjEGVvXw
"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."868Please respect copyright.PENANAHIblEiYWJ1
If he thought saying 868Please respect copyright.PENANAGUrJOcoKa6
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me868Please respect copyright.PENANA9ixJIx4npx
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.868Please respect copyright.PENANASCckRWn80m
"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.868Please respect copyright.PENANAAwbpQLFnoV
"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."868Please respect copyright.PENANAGnTrsWdYi7
"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."868Please respect copyright.PENANA9U6mUkJizL
"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."868Please respect copyright.PENANAXBAZQiTDhW
"Ya, sure."868Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ2S3WMWpX
Jehan didn't say 868Please respect copyright.PENANAHCGrQcyu8L
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 868Please respect copyright.PENANAyCw4BsjwIf
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 868Please respect copyright.PENANAXjFXQcT40z
Typical.868Please respect copyright.PENANAUVWh54QFm5
"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.868Please respect copyright.PENANACcZ5JsjW3t
"Oh, it was Seungri," I lied. "He wanted to see if I was free right now so that the two of us could hang out."868Please respect copyright.PENANA22stjgQXis
"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAZwctEOeftw
"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."868Please respect copyright.PENANAV8ahM7djdM
"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.868Please respect copyright.PENANAM0tA9jx2yN
"Why? You think I would?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAzkYwnHfxw6
"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."868Please respect copyright.PENANA4fhcK2uJjH
"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."868Please respect copyright.PENANA9b9GW1rZQp
"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.868Please respect copyright.PENANAe8btc2mnGv
"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.868Please respect copyright.PENANA84m0DUdeTX
"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.868Please respect copyright.PENANAP2Q2sWV7uz
"That one. Where is it?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAuwDniQfvrM
"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.868Please respect copyright.PENANAyCdzYJq2CE
"I just want to ask if it's still around. That's all. I hadn't seen it ever since we went bowling that other day."868Please respect copyright.PENANACxY5smnnAN
Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.868Please respect copyright.PENANAjNBhgLkR5e
"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."868Please respect copyright.PENANAdoHNmRFRlp
"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."868Please respect copyright.PENANAbW7Dd4aCs8
"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."868Please respect copyright.PENANAvfIM941qCV
Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.868Please respect copyright.PENANAVtRFyTcjYy
I quietly went over to 868Please respect copyright.PENANAimnWC5bQHc
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 868Please respect copyright.PENANAmRzRii3amr
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back868Please respect copyright.PENANAD0pWBLWIgW
soon.868Please respect copyright.PENANABfwx5nIHhC
I came to the drawer 868Please respect copyright.PENANAIMsx5zpIZ9
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 868Please respect copyright.PENANAxtWpU3SVYX
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?868Please respect copyright.PENANAIz0LJXJOG9
I looked at her bed and 868Please respect copyright.PENANAnb0LnfU14G
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 868Please respect copyright.PENANAb50w8lWRnJ
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.868Please respect copyright.PENANAS9e4Vh01we
"There you are," I said softly as I took the teddy. "I think it's now time for you to leave once and for all."868Please respect copyright.PENANA9hqoPtWX5M
I heard the tap in the 868Please respect copyright.PENANAgIbblc85fY
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 868Please respect copyright.PENANA4ojqMDj7MR
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 868Please respect copyright.PENANA7YcSWykxD4
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 868Please respect copyright.PENANA79CNImOzdT
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.868Please respect copyright.PENANACZJSlALn2x
***868Please respect copyright.PENANAiV7PITpd97
Sam's P.O.V868Please respect copyright.PENANAJBT5o9nvmq
"Do you really think 868Please respect copyright.PENANAeywTsxwESY
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 868Please respect copyright.PENANA8SAp0ZeiH3
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.868Please respect copyright.PENANA30Mm4Tk08K
"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.868Please respect copyright.PENANAKXZW3C9hCr
"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAmOyOPPfpi1
"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAtktv7POgHe
"I hope it's not drugs."868Please respect copyright.PENANAoOFYfw1KYY
"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.868Please respect copyright.PENANApGrWNcPWzu
"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.868Please respect copyright.PENANAp6bz6yBOLb
"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.868Please respect copyright.PENANAgKeu7LGeNW
"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAKM7ceNMybs
"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."868Please respect copyright.PENANAlNIl2N7v34
"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAjXasxGaYTz
"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."868Please respect copyright.PENANAShKbyuS5iu
"She did a pretty good job on that one."868Please respect copyright.PENANAPaByImHobu
"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"868Please respect copyright.PENANArZonovgfff
"Zoey."868Please respect copyright.PENANAuRbK84auLs
"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 868Please respect copyright.PENANAfagE79lPai
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 868Please respect copyright.PENANA7dCxTmYDiW
they couldn't because of our little fight."868Please respect copyright.PENANAgwFl176d8W
"Mmm." Lee took a fry 868Please respect copyright.PENANAxJC4kzpgR8
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 868Please respect copyright.PENANArVHEuP36B9
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"868Please respect copyright.PENANATdmhqW2pRz
I raised an eyebrow at 868Please respect copyright.PENANAmoi8QU40Qa
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 868Please respect copyright.PENANAzjuaTSFXVu
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.868Please respect copyright.PENANAIVEbW5XhnQ
"Shoot!" I said loudly 868Please respect copyright.PENANAChohSwT7UG
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 868Please respect copyright.PENANAQkuc5sFKvH
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 868Please respect copyright.PENANAa22cin1zZK
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."868Please respect copyright.PENANAJVkXsfGtG8
"About what?" Lee asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANA2a51WYbhOZ
"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."868Please respect copyright.PENANASLE2Oca9yo
"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."868Please respect copyright.PENANAsdcfwNL66O
"But today might be the 868Please respect copyright.PENANAEYi6dnp0K6
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 868Please respect copyright.PENANAO8bfuJt2Tj
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."868Please respect copyright.PENANAYZE8KWiMJD
"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."868Please respect copyright.PENANAh1fYYdI1ba
My heart rate quickened 868Please respect copyright.PENANAKxKb6A1h8R
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 868Please respect copyright.PENANAcGRATJKt6Y
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?868Please respect copyright.PENANA2ePbKlR1Xd
"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.868Please respect copyright.PENANA8eK3oIO28c
"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."868Please respect copyright.PENANAHB9aDQ65HM
"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.868Please respect copyright.PENANA3Nag44NmfE
"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."868Please respect copyright.PENANABxELthvbiN
"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."868Please respect copyright.PENANANC3i0HAsfy
Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.868Please respect copyright.PENANAQe4A5dMIjU
"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."868Please respect copyright.PENANAKc65nHUjSb
There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.868Please respect copyright.PENANAamQ6x4GyB7
"Alright, thanks, 868Please respect copyright.PENANAOX95LY3JIw
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 868Please respect copyright.PENANA7uDraOVjwP
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 868Please respect copyright.PENANAsZPU0KpHZt
Seungri."868Please respect copyright.PENANAE428TMaKer
I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."868Please respect copyright.PENANALeuvnJaXvx
"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."868Please respect copyright.PENANAm5e57xxLem
"Did Christine say where she had gone?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAnznWpcLoLZ
"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."868Please respect copyright.PENANAvQLqhDhcw8
I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.868Please respect copyright.PENANAWaXyMd3zLf
"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAqwlLisHKRt
"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"868Please respect copyright.PENANA555LhdEOeQ
"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAuDRhRP52ob
"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAS8tClbdUqp
"Yes, I am." I could 868Please respect copyright.PENANAKb5VJhbHNy
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 868Please respect copyright.PENANANzjMVXkAOD
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman868Please respect copyright.PENANADvhOq6U5qP
perhaps?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAWHs6hayjp7
I rolled my eyes and as 868Please respect copyright.PENANAmp6efYjOcb
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 868Please respect copyright.PENANAHsYDHL0XQ2
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me868Please respect copyright.PENANAZIXNWG6Pdt
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.868Please respect copyright.PENANAqcyjbFRkjk
"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.868Please respect copyright.PENANAXLf3sU2b9g
"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."868Please respect copyright.PENANAqSxfU12psK
I bit my lower lip and 868Please respect copyright.PENANAmmACyku61o
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 868Please respect copyright.PENANAmMpoVXITfI
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.868Please respect copyright.PENANAg8gJDFK77h
"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."868Please respect copyright.PENANApMWxy87FFq
"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"868Please respect copyright.PENANArggCE8VaCh
"I'm at the mall with Lee."868Please respect copyright.PENANAPk3WwyYSGN
"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."868Please respect copyright.PENANAZBf8ChiZKD
"Bye."868Please respect copyright.PENANA5kbjZqHoA4
"Bye, my little kitty."868Please respect copyright.PENANAks5vnncNFc
"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.868Please respect copyright.PENANAN7GY9IbvBS
"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.868Please respect copyright.PENANAEIwiVNhQ3E
"So, he isn't with Zoey?"868Please respect copyright.PENANA7SQaxV6uDB
"Nope. And he isn't 868Please respect copyright.PENANA1a8sFFWQFF
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 868Please respect copyright.PENANA9pMEt0j1JO
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."868Please respect copyright.PENANAhUUCIiSu3g
"Oh." Lee took her smoothie and sucked on the straw. "Umm, what are we going to do now? We have to know where Zoey is."868Please respect copyright.PENANAGhr5GwF9vJ
"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."868Please respect copyright.PENANA7MnRtFwGod
"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."868Please respect copyright.PENANA1eBT7JOwxt
I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."868Please respect copyright.PENANAP9ueqdqM0V
Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."868Please respect copyright.PENANAEXcdw5JpXS
"Tell me about it." I 868Please respect copyright.PENANARACszPoXD6
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 868Please respect copyright.PENANA80CRhj7xEk
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."868Please respect copyright.PENANAdcZDXTSft0
"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."868Please respect copyright.PENANALlxLYtLUzE
I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.868Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jz6q1i2sQ
After we were done with 868Please respect copyright.PENANAMZHKUaxJ1U
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 868Please respect copyright.PENANA1kGlUxMaHU
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.868Please respect copyright.PENANA7076076I49
As soon as we walked out868Please respect copyright.PENANA8utUeqVDOw
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right868Please respect copyright.PENANAa2dwaefBn7
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 868Please respect copyright.PENANATVjEf7udyR
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 868Please respect copyright.PENANAUGdg5gK7mQ
looking black suit stepped out.868Please respect copyright.PENANAI8Wv3Z8Pgg
Time seemed to have 868Please respect copyright.PENANAPjLqhINDA4
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 868Please respect copyright.PENANAK9EOV5IJo7
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 868Please respect copyright.PENANAW0gLp0vZdq
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 868Please respect copyright.PENANAsdQXu2MfjW
something familiar about him.868Please respect copyright.PENANAEqjuG3ADsM
Just as I was about to 868Please respect copyright.PENANA0AmLPg7v76
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 868Please respect copyright.PENANAbFhCZsoUTP
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.868Please respect copyright.PENANARLVvw9EMnR
I almost tripped and 868Please respect copyright.PENANAHRu1rF60G0
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me868Please respect copyright.PENANA2RGMBnpedJ
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 868Please respect copyright.PENANAoAdQsXFpb5
me from falling.868Please respect copyright.PENANAPDjhnPq5ir
"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."868Please respect copyright.PENANAIRBqHN2N6N
I didn't say a word as I868Please respect copyright.PENANAYLtjgYuFUC
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 868Please respect copyright.PENANAd5AdEZu9PM
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.868Please respect copyright.PENANASjel7tUq7k
"We need to go back, Lee," I said.868Please respect copyright.PENANAB772O3l2xW
"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."868Please respect copyright.PENANAShmruyxfRm
"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."868Please respect copyright.PENANAwHIArJ8i1o
"May I please know what's going on with you?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAJrWy1kTFUC
"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."868Please respect copyright.PENANALTP0HkdJnq

Narrator's P.O.V868Please respect copyright.PENANAOzWUav31gL
Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.868Please respect copyright.PENANA0aPWEwG8Ez
"Hey guys, am here," 868Please respect copyright.PENANA8YvmgCuVce
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 868Please respect copyright.PENANAW9ygi7PsG8
look downcast as though someone's just died."868Please respect copyright.PENANAzXWkI7fPIH
"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.868Please respect copyright.PENANAkg7hDVrfxI
"This is getting real 868Please respect copyright.PENANAuznysoiqHT
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 868Please respect copyright.PENANAgpExYPwvNW
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 868Please respect copyright.PENANADH5fEfGHYC
her or with anyone of you."868Please respect copyright.PENANA11ZMLJtuQq
"No, I think now is the 868Please respect copyright.PENANAONucqbUDjx
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the868Please respect copyright.PENANAFSXbGkgAtX
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."868Please respect copyright.PENANAkFo3RJXwSr
"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.868Please respect copyright.PENANAQZTZmpaNNj
"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."868Please respect copyright.PENANAFAdJM0sV6Z
"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.868Please respect copyright.PENANAt7Eqa0iHtN
"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.868Please respect copyright.PENANAzAixMmHIhC
"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.868Please respect copyright.PENANAdjlXp23Ffk
"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.868Please respect copyright.PENANA0sn133ObrR
"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."868Please respect copyright.PENANAeChUzSPAZ8
The others rolled their 868Please respect copyright.PENANAPtcFjiTNIP
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 868Please respect copyright.PENANAjArP3h1Lra
around and now wasn't the time for it.868Please respect copyright.PENANADP0BKLDP6m
"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.868Please respect copyright.PENANABn3oEG4Wjf
"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.868Please respect copyright.PENANAqr7Fa3Zx7W
G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.868Please respect copyright.PENANAOrV8KPlt4c
"Well, maybe," said 868Please respect copyright.PENANAuS8r7uGdbC
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk868Please respect copyright.PENANAul5fbASVf2
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 868Please respect copyright.PENANAZcDVl7xJ3J
she told me to break things up with Zoey."868Please respect copyright.PENANA2FDx9tzWdi
"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANArOOixXuRdS
"When I saw Daesung and 868Please respect copyright.PENANAevFsVf9wUD
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 868Please respect copyright.PENANAJwJknnpcxA
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."868Please respect copyright.PENANAqgHj9z5Jcb
"And you still are," said Taeyang.868Please respect copyright.PENANAu56KBXORAO
G-Dragon didn't answer 868Please respect copyright.PENANAN0JvNOcsX8
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 868Please respect copyright.PENANAiDOLAuVDeh
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.868Please respect copyright.PENANAwDIeX9ht4u
"Oh, I get it now," said Seungri, as he looked up at the ceiling. "But I see no reason why Sam could be in the wrong here."868Please respect copyright.PENANAjKb1CKzgMp
"What do you mean?" 868Please respect copyright.PENANAepqaFYL4Yt
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 868Please respect copyright.PENANAvIhTIUgB6w
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."868Please respect copyright.PENANApcnUSI5X5r
"She was just doing that868Please respect copyright.PENANA5jest1Xr4R
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 868Please respect copyright.PENANAKrz5StJJRZ
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 868Please respect copyright.PENANA0U7crjB8gK
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 868Please respect copyright.PENANAIggguRcgcE
be together."868Please respect copyright.PENANA9CH7UhMlri
"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.868Please respect copyright.PENANAagLNZpfMan
"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."868Please respect copyright.PENANAm57zCQD4fB
All the four BigBang 868Please respect copyright.PENANAdn07MvF2Tm
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there868Please respect copyright.PENANAcgBHazKUfY
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 868Please respect copyright.PENANAjkrUPqeKlb
heard him come in.868Please respect copyright.PENANACpBm1UzqF4
"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."868Please respect copyright.PENANAgweN5VamDH
"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.868Please respect copyright.PENANANzRvGTOMlh
"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."868Please respect copyright.PENANAsmsQdCTZZP
"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAGF56TotHmi
"I'm not going to stay 868Please respect copyright.PENANAB402WNSozv
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 868Please respect copyright.PENANA7IhGDGnO5f
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."868Please respect copyright.PENANAybkD4kb7jI
"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.868Please respect copyright.PENANAt7K5pmiNMt
"No, I don't."868Please respect copyright.PENANAXYu6KENM0Y
Before G-Dragon could 868Please respect copyright.PENANAoOo06I4Mre
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 868Please respect copyright.PENANACRazzbptgc
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.868Please respect copyright.PENANAVRTkBDySZd
"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.868Please respect copyright.PENANAYNm8RS8TEo
"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.868Please respect copyright.PENANAKRlBSNYIFm
"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.868Please respect copyright.PENANAdONOyXAhv2
G-Dragon folded his arms868Please respect copyright.PENANA9pofN2Cdnn
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 868Please respect copyright.PENANAqJlC4FUaDI
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 868Please respect copyright.PENANAmLqFvEV9u5
stared at the ceiling.868Please respect copyright.PENANAx8JLpn66Vj
"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."868Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7kEp5kWfQ
Daesung came into the 868Please respect copyright.PENANAgZBm7mGniM
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 868Please respect copyright.PENANAHABCnuqDVs
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.868Please respect copyright.PENANA1QsRSpRV0K
"Look, I know you're 868Please respect copyright.PENANABkXzHiu1Qg
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first868Please respect copyright.PENANAfsU4Ago8SI
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 868Please respect copyright.PENANAxSwMdP2S25
never told me anything either."868Please respect copyright.PENANAvr1E33HJ5E
"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.868Please respect copyright.PENANAFkbUKmC5fa
"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."868Please respect copyright.PENANAn3vuSMNdM8
"Why?"868Please respect copyright.PENANA1IKhrUnCp1
"She just felt like it 868Please respect copyright.PENANAhKNsKcELtI
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 868Please respect copyright.PENANAxCq2TOSooY
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks868Please respect copyright.PENANAtfet7byTHi
long distance relationships will ever work out."868Please respect copyright.PENANAfbdv6wF4DO
"Then, why did you kiss her?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAwHXTwpUhIx
"Because I know I'll 868Please respect copyright.PENANAWcer14HEEQ
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great868Please respect copyright.PENANAZkGKDSo4H7
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 868Please respect copyright.PENANAAecg0g2PLD
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 868Please respect copyright.PENANA2v3pP5ewzw
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 868Please respect copyright.PENANAJiTvJENRJr
want to hurt anyone either.868Please respect copyright.PENANA6M5sS3ivIV
"Maybe that's why she 868Please respect copyright.PENANAoiLAB5YPaz
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 868Please respect copyright.PENANAggVjV3sG7D
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss868Please respect copyright.PENANAcHZTNtmH28
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."868Please respect copyright.PENANASwsYkpn9zY
"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.868Please respect copyright.PENANAyRImWwR4mu
"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANAHi1Qeekm5Y
"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.868Please respect copyright.PENANAtRsIIVNt7Y
"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."868Please respect copyright.PENANAvg8p9U9w9O
"I know."868Please respect copyright.PENANA2GYaAzQOFe
"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANAAFCr39VgFX
"I'll think about it."868Please respect copyright.PENANAcgH5V9mY8Y
"No, no, no!" Seungri 868Please respect copyright.PENANA8tYWaGMw2c
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you868Please respect copyright.PENANAXNTqGGa5Yf
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 868Please respect copyright.PENANA14SvilCCOR
the mall."868Please respect copyright.PENANAuGQOHaDWcb
Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.868Please respect copyright.PENANARclUdo591w
"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"868Please respect copyright.PENANA6mgTqLh2Cq
"Ya," said Seungri, 868Please respect copyright.PENANAIb1OhtfSki
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 868Please respect copyright.PENANAZD634gSrNb
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."868Please respect copyright.PENANA0VOtrHjAjQ
"No way! I'm not going to the mall," said G-Dragon. "What am I going to say? I need more time to think about it."868Please respect copyright.PENANAC7bpZYARte
"There is no time to 868Please respect copyright.PENANAIj2eupuHV6
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 868Please respect copyright.PENANAZNZHtoavR4
this to Sam. It's not right at all."868Please respect copyright.PENANAZcidZe4Zeg
"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."868Please respect copyright.PENANAwvLLovbPyW
"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."868Please respect copyright.PENANATm0wbJY7kw
"We're your best 868Please respect copyright.PENANAzHwV2lvcYp
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 868Please respect copyright.PENANApbFbDOc8zz
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."868Please respect copyright.PENANA9hwOsw7TUI
"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.868Please respect copyright.PENANAupi5p8ejef

Zoey's P.O.V868Please respect copyright.PENANAAuhFqy1gpS
I came out of the black 868Please respect copyright.PENANAIeS9Y56ddU
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 868Please respect copyright.PENANA0o0L0L8678
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 868Please respect copyright.PENANAzxE56ayfNm
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 868Please respect copyright.PENANAOlJEhALK8L
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 868Please respect copyright.PENANAtJfb4y5vl5
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 868Please respect copyright.PENANADuv8iFCyLK
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 868Please respect copyright.PENANAMUKsYo7C12
by my fans.868Please respect copyright.PENANAkYbXpNOH0F
I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.868Please respect copyright.PENANASyADvNagmi
"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.868Please respect copyright.PENANAvg7ND9s5IK
"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANAV1rk5cZr7f
"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."868Please respect copyright.PENANAZ74vKKjAuo
"Okay."868Please respect copyright.PENANAx6eHgReXTd
"Did you bring what I asked for?"868Please respect copyright.PENANA5fqLCEMlwZ
I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."868Please respect copyright.PENANAxIzCc6WVfk
"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."868Please respect copyright.PENANAkUVSb8fs8o
"Well, I'm glad you 868Please respect copyright.PENANAaBvRCPhDMe
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 868Please respect copyright.PENANAktXUzslRzj
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 868Please respect copyright.PENANAhXFE6SAf1R
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 868Please respect copyright.PENANADQ4DLDYoAc
lot smarter than you think."868Please respect copyright.PENANA4WVcYlHZLT
"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.868Please respect copyright.PENANASRtRu3waHH
"Mr Grumpy is such a 868Please respect copyright.PENANADd6L3qMdf4
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 868Please respect copyright.PENANA2lxJlgfWFc
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.868Please respect copyright.PENANAX3eiktnYrf
When I went into the 868Please respect copyright.PENANAFQFoNuGj92
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 868Please respect copyright.PENANA1noG7xC41z
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.868Please respect copyright.PENANAmFhWweIc1I
I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.868Please respect copyright.PENANAqVIgRtu8Gu
"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.868Please respect copyright.PENANAEm4oTuQ8UV
"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.868Please respect copyright.PENANALEr5gOpKAm
I shivered. Despite his 868Please respect copyright.PENANA87w6OiHWfN
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 868Please respect copyright.PENANA4XUiqlQRdn
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 868Please respect copyright.PENANAELx5XkOlNQ
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 868Please respect copyright.PENANAYBIcWjkObm
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.868Please respect copyright.PENANA9kunhqvjHv
"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."868Please respect copyright.PENANALtFi0oGNSm
"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANAV1w0N2sZAK
"Why do you need to 868Please respect copyright.PENANA6rBhDA5RxX
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 868Please respect copyright.PENANABlpjADwNwz
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.868Please respect copyright.PENANA7AN2Eg0p24
"Well, I need to know 868Please respect copyright.PENANAeYlhYxKTT4
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 868Please respect copyright.PENANAFMPeRwxwzH
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.868Please respect copyright.PENANACDTYXzTmnU
"And tell me, why should868Please respect copyright.PENANA1w4gyt7Tah
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 868Please respect copyright.PENANA9haWcQfiQ3
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 868Please respect copyright.PENANAnm9i77b2NT
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 868Please respect copyright.PENANAsXivtQqpne
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.868Please respect copyright.PENANAvOFsT20MET
"I...eh..." I looked him868Please respect copyright.PENANA0L9wqwLoS8
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 868Please respect copyright.PENANAfKWqgNdZih
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 868Please respect copyright.PENANA70qKuNMhZo
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 868Please respect copyright.PENANAIrQfyn5nca
the kind who would send such a thing."868Please respect copyright.PENANAkPhZNl0pWK
"Oh, really?" Jehan 868Please respect copyright.PENANAMJXHljVUNX
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 868Please respect copyright.PENANAVtEVEqhuIt
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAe0fpXCdeyo
"I don't know." I 868Please respect copyright.PENANAW8B9ygE3XW
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 868Please respect copyright.PENANA1MEmHgr2VZ
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you868Please respect copyright.PENANAX58k0WRP4g
up to?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAqI7h7VT5Hd
Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.868Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4LMJHfk6x
"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."868Please respect copyright.PENANARgYGz5bNOL
"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAtVMJKOlhkD
"What's the matter with that?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAn9bvYQ11YN
"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."868Please respect copyright.PENANAonFIeFlcwQ
"Don't test my patience,868Please respect copyright.PENANAt0SCyPEom8
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 868Please respect copyright.PENANAh5T3xBqvey
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 868Please respect copyright.PENANAOSs1Hukm4p
think you deserve to you know."868Please respect copyright.PENANAbvjpPMATOw
"Well, yes, I do."868Please respect copyright.PENANA2qgZP1aEV2

I was entirely grateful 868Please respect copyright.PENANA0P1bUhY5Ph
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 868Please respect copyright.PENANACaHSjj38bI
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 868Please respect copyright.PENANARDlcM2y9an
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed868Please respect copyright.PENANA9nVixUv3UF
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 868Please respect copyright.PENANA5fvuImQdMV
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 868Please respect copyright.PENANAxulV7WVs3V
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.868Please respect copyright.PENANAwOhXu14BJ3
"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."868Please respect copyright.PENANAEdKu6TchF1
"Believe me, he is," I said as I looked at a nice beige top on a hanger and then took a brief glance out the window.868Please respect copyright.PENANAAXcQgrqi5q
"But how did you know 868Please respect copyright.PENANATxg2PeyP7Y
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 868Please respect copyright.PENANAU4MgBn4avh
photo you showed me never revealed his face."868Please respect copyright.PENANAv2wgufHZIc
"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."868Please respect copyright.PENANAHGlcXwuc2A
Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"868Please respect copyright.PENANA0loOGuKTUL
"Well, ya," I said as I 868Please respect copyright.PENANA81b8GtTxbV
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 868Please respect copyright.PENANAAvY04C0asE
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 868Please respect copyright.PENANAIaPkSzckTP
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."868Please respect copyright.PENANA6m575Dj6ns
Lee turned to the window868Please respect copyright.PENANAWn4mNqQ8st
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like868Please respect copyright.PENANAeBI57YAIOA
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."868Please respect copyright.PENANAG9LTZNWP49
"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."868Please respect copyright.PENANAHKve0N7QHo
"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."868Please respect copyright.PENANAVhgdZb3VJw
"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."868Please respect copyright.PENANAKuoW3WD6mZ
"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."868Please respect copyright.PENANAFV0NUWvdeI
"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.868Please respect copyright.PENANAqrfaHWHSR3
Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.868Please respect copyright.PENANAYwev7O3lp1
"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.868Please respect copyright.PENANALlWanNnMkK
We made sure to keep a 868Please respect copyright.PENANA0rou6nf9SC
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 868Please respect copyright.PENANA00pwRvHg8Z
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 868Please respect copyright.PENANAzT6gFLZHPi
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 868Please respect copyright.PENANAxMOg0j8Hvm
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.868Please respect copyright.PENANAKiXj62VD1V
They went down the 868Please respect copyright.PENANASOt9kxsw2q
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 868Please respect copyright.PENANAZ50OpBLxEh
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 868Please respect copyright.PENANABGPAomYmJ4
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.868Please respect copyright.PENANARWSBkAyKwG
They were led by a 868Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q5AwyRO3r
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 868Please respect copyright.PENANA7h61YrQPr0
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 868Please respect copyright.PENANAIRfUM45rSL
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 868Please respect copyright.PENANAbyzvCNWsNN
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 868Please respect copyright.PENANAgIr1qO9XSy
restaurant.868Please respect copyright.PENANA38QE8IV6qS
"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.868Please respect copyright.PENANAvYdLwHUcRR
"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.868Please respect copyright.PENANAxunErxw5lG
"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."868Please respect copyright.PENANA1ApnevYnjp
"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"868Please respect copyright.PENANA7LLaUAdswA
"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."868Please respect copyright.PENANArPvKzxt8zE
"Me neither. But what to868Please respect copyright.PENANA3R88yL20ES
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 868Please respect copyright.PENANAvph3YrU9sb
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.868Please respect copyright.PENANAgKTP86qdcF
I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.868Please respect copyright.PENANAvZoauMuPnJ
"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.868Please respect copyright.PENANATNFtWUcSF7
"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAYe8pRUHJmK
My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAPZCFIXBVUs
"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."868Please respect copyright.PENANAbLPBK44UMl
Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.868Please respect copyright.PENANAbBUZnVEtQk
"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAqeVRfZSLbl
"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."868Please respect copyright.PENANA99caQN6mkH
"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.868Please respect copyright.PENANA8eE2hzOYl2
"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAjSjqfmQjsA
"Don't worry. Seungri 868Please respect copyright.PENANAEWtXhJJIMp
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 868Please respect copyright.PENANAiPIDBSGE1x
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 868Please respect copyright.PENANAmpQO4GuLi6
and she will know something fishy is going on."868Please respect copyright.PENANABDFF9qEpHz
"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."868Please respect copyright.PENANAiOHvj6hpn3
"I hope so too."868Please respect copyright.PENANA5k88GzMl1D
***868Please respect copyright.PENANAgBytuT1Q74
Zoey's P.O.V868Please respect copyright.PENANAXH7xmyDuBY
I looked at the menu and868Please respect copyright.PENANAJIMFmt61GA
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 868Please respect copyright.PENANA5eHDwthfcX
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the868Please respect copyright.PENANAH2n2wAkpMs
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he868Please respect copyright.PENANAcnt2HovL1e
looked up at me.868Please respect copyright.PENANANCX8iV0RFL
"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.868Please respect copyright.PENANAQnsAGOwgyy
"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.868Please respect copyright.PENANAIZcg94BDJd
"Why?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAed6oGVdosz
I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.868Please respect copyright.PENANAeWQqaJx8hM
"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."868Please respect copyright.PENANA3jswrrCxDw
"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.868Please respect copyright.PENANARZJOLGzOWG
I growled. "Stop that, will you?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAVAcerDbLZh
"What?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAL2lbnNeSjs
"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."868Please respect copyright.PENANA7n5D0DoUMp
"I'll try not to next 868Please respect copyright.PENANAWy3owAsqZP
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan868Please respect copyright.PENANApKzflpqJLx
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.868Please respect copyright.PENANAgWvoYOYhf5
"Now, are you going to tell me?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAi6ziyI2n5w
"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."868Please respect copyright.PENANAHZrxIzpwl3
"Not tell anyone."868Please respect copyright.PENANAUq6LASlTFB
Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."868Please respect copyright.PENANAE64fJdMWIA
"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."868Please respect copyright.PENANAFSvlPxXzu7
"I smuggle diamonds."868Please respect copyright.PENANA0WSsLvlDvS
My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.868Please respect copyright.PENANAOmOtENiCoj
"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.868Please respect copyright.PENANAZnfI4iXTQu
"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."868Please respect copyright.PENANAD44sZHuj3m
"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAa8n8kcRmOJ
"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."868Please respect copyright.PENANAL99N5WVC6D
The waiter came with our868Please respect copyright.PENANAcHq9DjPArZ
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 868Please respect copyright.PENANA7pQ2Jd16cO
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.868Please respect copyright.PENANAS6BWa7Km2d
"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."868Please respect copyright.PENANActAjjXCNe2
"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."868Please respect copyright.PENANAb3ysURnwW6
"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."868Please respect copyright.PENANAZg7h0TPLQU
"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."868Please respect copyright.PENANAi8BgLZikD1
"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.868Please respect copyright.PENANAGeygHlFgtP
"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.868Please respect copyright.PENANAypeWVbxt4W
"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."868Please respect copyright.PENANAZZkTmvI7H4
"Is that why you're so rich?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAC0KOx2LH3P
"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."868Please respect copyright.PENANA7aaYchpjdK
"That's being greedy, don't you think?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAUqD7pIy4g0
Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."868Please respect copyright.PENANAHStc6Z2KDt
I gulped. He was giving 868Please respect copyright.PENANAh9HT9LBGdL
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would868Please respect copyright.PENANAQJOAlxSUrP
manage to get out of this lunch, alive.868Please respect copyright.PENANAXGALb2TQF2
***868Please respect copyright.PENANA06xuYDl8ob
Sam's P.O.V868Please respect copyright.PENANA6OENB6VQeB
I was waiting by the 868Please respect copyright.PENANAuQ4CwsBtdA
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 868Please respect copyright.PENANAeFcfqXz6eN
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 868Please respect copyright.PENANA6us6wPqkHz
car? What was he doing here?868Please respect copyright.PENANAwcsPG1ZB2i
Seungri came out of the 868Please respect copyright.PENANAy1pD9Oxr8k
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 868Please respect copyright.PENANA8STcFKLWYl
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 868Please respect copyright.PENANAnAggr5tlDG
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when868Please respect copyright.PENANAdIGxM4bwd7
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 868Please respect copyright.PENANAIa67DnW908
what I was expecting.868Please respect copyright.PENANAXEdJTuFPUh
I trembled. What am I 868Please respect copyright.PENANAAmFTlyhlNA
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 868Please respect copyright.PENANAW2d55ZBWql
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 868Please respect copyright.PENANAtzhnXQ6PvL
give Mr Teddy away.868Please respect copyright.PENANAiMPPX9K1EE
"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAzm4wDHw0Lq
"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!868Please respect copyright.PENANAK6pRiPkVkk
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."868Please respect copyright.PENANAos3alzXZ3H
"I, no....I," I didn't 868Please respect copyright.PENANAhCbY1rqYbr
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to868Please respect copyright.PENANA3gSsAHkvkf
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?868Please respect copyright.PENANAvFOjrnriif
"I was only expecting 868Please respect copyright.PENANA9Tle4P79gV
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 868Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1mLSZrjWk
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 868Please respect copyright.PENANAZMlFyeTogj
seeing the two of them together.868Please respect copyright.PENANALo96Nuitjc
"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.868Please respect copyright.PENANA6Arafkaj6H
"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.868Please respect copyright.PENANA5IDxMhklI3
"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."868Please respect copyright.PENANAyEnG7KyBEk
"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."868Please respect copyright.PENANAMlw1IvNpcK
"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANAlJl6kUBrYl
"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."868Please respect copyright.PENANArxF9dTzF2V
"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.868Please respect copyright.PENANA8f5iAvRpeT
"Come with me," I said 868Please respect copyright.PENANAhF25WffxQ4
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 868Please respect copyright.PENANAULCLCh0OdY
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 868Please respect copyright.PENANAhxMUnG7Em0
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.868Please respect copyright.PENANAZLMzKnPJmc
When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.868Please respect copyright.PENANAWSknnmIBLo
"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.868Please respect copyright.PENANAvC03F67DFt
"Hi, guys. You're 868Please respect copyright.PENANAbto4X9dq26
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 868Please respect copyright.PENANAPWrwGRmQnm
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."868Please respect copyright.PENANARRccDdO1Qf
"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."868Please respect copyright.PENANAfa9DodRVJ8
"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANASmEvFBergb
I could feel Lee's eyes on me and I could tell she was scared of telling them the truth. So, I had to do the talking.868Please respect copyright.PENANA7lhks76Xqa
"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAssVxPtvThc
The five BigBang members all nodded their heads.868Please respect copyright.PENANA36LPqnZTyB
"Well, if you look into 868Please respect copyright.PENANAIxdWh9SCHW
that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 868Please respect copyright.PENANApZMGlYGII9
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."868Please respect copyright.PENANAMk5LiwNmQS
The five all turned to 868Please respect copyright.PENANA0nz9wdtLbx
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 868Please respect copyright.PENANAQSHoo8FV6g
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 868Please respect copyright.PENANAu2EEWKlVgy
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.868Please respect copyright.PENANAujFXixcK0t
"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."868Please respect copyright.PENANA2E1G0PYmRw
Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAebempSnpg7
"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAmSEe5DLuYS
"Yes, I do," said G-Dragon looking through the glass window. "We met him at the fashion show. I'm surprised why he is here."868Please respect copyright.PENANA65MrZVSTRE
"We were also wondering 868Please respect copyright.PENANAaIBvBzwyRD
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 868Please respect copyright.PENANAYuxeQfk9JA
them, but decided that I would rather not."868Please respect copyright.PENANA4kRoTXmEmd
"Why?" Daesung asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANAlVL5qO58NQ
"Well, Zoey seems to be 868Please respect copyright.PENANATaFpAu1M5W
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 868Please respect copyright.PENANAK2oxuWasHl
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 868Please respect copyright.PENANARKBBtNhFoc
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."868Please respect copyright.PENANAN6V7kt8dDz
"Aww, so sweet of you to think I could solve that out for you, my little kitty," said Seungri with a smile on his face.868Please respect copyright.PENANAnA2PZy6nqe
"Huh? Wait a minute," 868Please respect copyright.PENANAoRVL9xHJdt
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 868Please respect copyright.PENANAHDySpcm5rL
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."868Please respect copyright.PENANAfs4ZYJgSEC
"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAjz6Qa7DK4k
"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."868Please respect copyright.PENANArFkoprF5Qh
Everyone turned to look 868Please respect copyright.PENANAo5VhodMOam
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 868Please respect copyright.PENANAg2Kq0H2R1H
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 868Please respect copyright.PENANABmUTXw7SLL
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.868Please respect copyright.PENANAo6d0vFwFXW
"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.868Please respect copyright.PENANA8Juip7xSxD
Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."868Please respect copyright.PENANAydeAVGg0Yc
"Here you're now 868Please respect copyright.PENANADatKyebuEg
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 868Please respect copyright.PENANAaMfqKTwjFd
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.868Please respect copyright.PENANAdEES1uerz1
"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.868Please respect copyright.PENANAJirzncaXMq
"I'll talk with G-Dragon868Please respect copyright.PENANAF9LJiv20BZ
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 868Please respect copyright.PENANAtTCS2leINg
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 868Please respect copyright.PENANAU8q6vMBNs2
something, quick.868Please respect copyright.PENANAFfOmx2w1vC
"Okay, fine, we will 868Please respect copyright.PENANAnhVxAH1uOi
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 868Please respect copyright.PENANAmvNSxcNO1p
into the restaurant and meet the guy."868Please respect copyright.PENANARY1YtLudS9
Yes. Finally. I thought 868Please respect copyright.PENANAnG9Y8aKOnG
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 868Please respect copyright.PENANAbGf5sULAWv
everything was going to be delayed.868Please respect copyright.PENANArhjjpBaQxm
"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."868Please respect copyright.PENANAsSTeQ4HKCK
"We will wait out here," said Daesung.868Please respect copyright.PENANArZyIQzsHMW
Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.868Please respect copyright.PENANA5vaVxVs2Af
"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANAvAmVSKEjuk
As much as I wanted to 868Please respect copyright.PENANAwqHRML5ris
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 868Please respect copyright.PENANA0v8jJdvX3N
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.868Please respect copyright.PENANAn7EUXcF1yF
***868Please respect copyright.PENANAjcPBO9eazA
Zoey's P.O.V868Please respect copyright.PENANAe1td8wBzvA
As much as I tried to 868Please respect copyright.PENANABleP96Sf1s
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place868Please respect copyright.PENANAeK0GBgLapu
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 868Please respect copyright.PENANAMcgtFoOKVb
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 868Please respect copyright.PENANApECl8bkM5K
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.868Please respect copyright.PENANAZodhj2pSoU
"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANAPMLMWh2U1E
"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.868Please respect copyright.PENANAeDW0yYvyNN
"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.868Please respect copyright.PENANA8UTlMyN94x
"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."868Please respect copyright.PENANAG2ML67LqZF
"Looks like you're getting all worked up for nothing, Zoey." Jehan got a napkin on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth.868Please respect copyright.PENANAGkLmNSjy5d
"What do you want me to 868Please respect copyright.PENANApVguhD4Mgv
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 868Please respect copyright.PENANAB9NhLXThxw
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 868Please respect copyright.PENANAWrFCCTxbhN
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."868Please respect copyright.PENANA19V4uMPvXC
"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."868Please respect copyright.PENANAarTGhEx9v6
"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."868Please respect copyright.PENANAP91D6qnZlz
Jehan shook his head and868Please respect copyright.PENANA2IaZRjQ1kU
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how868Please respect copyright.PENANAq9kCMgJ8NB
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 868Please respect copyright.PENANATO9yDYKcQ8
annoying."868Please respect copyright.PENANAJeVD9cyhoJ
"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."868Please respect copyright.PENANAkFFnUFDpVm
"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"868Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z7jCfIwNE
"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."868Please respect copyright.PENANAyMA07UO4UQ
"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.868Please respect copyright.PENANAbc8dcv6L91
"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."868Please respect copyright.PENANAVNZELNXG4g
Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAQvSn3WKVBw
"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."868Please respect copyright.PENANAn4zQql3A4b
Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAbnsRGPbDVk
"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."868Please respect copyright.PENANA0ikeknWkM6
Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.868Please respect copyright.PENANAsvvIJO2Moi
"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.868Please respect copyright.PENANAJS2WFuaV7M
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.868Please respect copyright.PENANAWBYZANpmLZ
"Yes, for real."868Please respect copyright.PENANAKqO6mVMGp9
"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAzsqg7jNxQ5
"Yes. Maybe we will meet868Please respect copyright.PENANAMlCgWTVaXM
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that868Please respect copyright.PENANAHE3VmGbmtB
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."868Please respect copyright.PENANAOCySHGPfKs
"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAd5Pc3l9ENB
"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."868Please respect copyright.PENANAH7VhYcySLg
"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.868Please respect copyright.PENANAdWPDeUxxJl
"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.868Please respect copyright.PENANAsPPb5LgU3J
I took a deep breath. This was it. Once I give him the teddy, it will all be over and I can finally be in peace.868Please respect copyright.PENANAaZXEdRtJs7
Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.868Please respect copyright.PENANA0tCS1Kcxvn
"Zoey, hey!"868Please respect copyright.PENANAIQSL74TI3X
Seungri? I quickly 868Please respect copyright.PENANAS6yeFmM2qK
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 868Please respect copyright.PENANA2R5thaDbVY
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 868Please respect copyright.PENANAfBs4Z063NM
here?868Please respect copyright.PENANASm8AcGVL7F
They came over to our 868Please respect copyright.PENANAFIYTnTOrHC
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 868Please respect copyright.PENANARJEiIPExMJ
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim868Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ4VoeunmT
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 868Please respect copyright.PENANAwNANFNEPOG
to do now?868Please respect copyright.PENANAVsZif2weEg
"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"868Please respect copyright.PENANA6vuFCdzW5Y
"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."868Please respect copyright.PENANAe7HaFCoOV7
"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"868Please respect copyright.PENANALNOkjKGgSJ
"Jehan."868Please respect copyright.PENANAp699RIAkyu
"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."868Please respect copyright.PENANA6i2G7Hlr7s
"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."868Please respect copyright.PENANAwX7rPPpYnd
"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"868Please respect copyright.PENANAyHrJRtCgYS
"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."868Please respect copyright.PENANAPFjCU3JrRF
"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.868Please respect copyright.PENANAE9gpVzSZSg
"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.868Please respect copyright.PENANAbm3U5ZL39h
"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANArLAhaiSZ49
I almost spit out the 868Please respect copyright.PENANAbs9FWooCE3
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 868Please respect copyright.PENANAw73ymdamK2
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 868Please respect copyright.PENANAdPqnpsNQ25
to water.868Please respect copyright.PENANAuqzROptxqJ
"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.868Please respect copyright.PENANALDqwrbrTMY
"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?868Please respect copyright.PENANA7w0byJJGaP
"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.868Please respect copyright.PENANAEar8s9g3Zc
Jehan looked at me and I868Please respect copyright.PENANAnPbD1pbUW7
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 868Please respect copyright.PENANAzQb0Eku0zm
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.868Please respect copyright.PENANAreio5hGQN6
"May I ask what you're 868Please respect copyright.PENANAWYPf0Z6omp
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 868Please respect copyright.PENANAyCT1gkAk0n
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.868Please respect copyright.PENANAhMbdgGDSSr
"Oh, we just came here 868Please respect copyright.PENANAy86A01cVxM
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 868Please respect copyright.PENANAUACycLNXCy
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."868Please respect copyright.PENANAcjOcvzo0A7
"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."868Please respect copyright.PENANAZ58hhzn4B3
"No, you didn't," said Jehan.868Please respect copyright.PENANAMJk2KUj3jR
Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.868Please respect copyright.PENANAwz3vyVcNAK
"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."868Please respect copyright.PENANA0vi2gYACWi
"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."868Please respect copyright.PENANAu3IZRgJ0DA
"Yes, we will," said 868Please respect copyright.PENANA3x2XbRyf63
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the868Please respect copyright.PENANAqLQY7scrnH
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.868Please respect copyright.PENANAkp87pDQpFd
"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."868Please respect copyright.PENANAXir3YBzTOA
"You too," said Seungri.868Please respect copyright.PENANALJJQueFtrS
Jehan gave a small smile868Please respect copyright.PENANACx5IN8HMK6
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 868Please respect copyright.PENANAqUQY2g7FKH
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the868Please respect copyright.PENANAyZiNg0dvuz
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?868Please respect copyright.PENANAqjZRsqKJHj
"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."868Please respect copyright.PENANA36AznWtBJN
"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.868Please respect copyright.PENANAL6UgfkLK0g
"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.868Please respect copyright.PENANAIBmPD2Mrrn
"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.868Please respect copyright.PENANAwS3lGAXZnO
I wondered how I was 868Please respect copyright.PENANAJbEAIzVyt0
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 868Please respect copyright.PENANAFDEiJvQ3xk
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 868Please respect copyright.PENANA0OUMc3xhKi
head until I give the teddy bear away.868Please respect copyright.PENANAzg4YHdVQkA
This was just great!
