Sunday was quiet and 872Please respect copyright.PENANA4TsxrI82Zg
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 872Please respect copyright.PENANAeVX5R56Gvc
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 872Please respect copyright.PENANAhAZuVbExkk
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or872Please respect copyright.PENANAPSYWQBKauD
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.872Please respect copyright.PENANA8WxavMNdHm
Last night, Zoey moved 872Please respect copyright.PENANASgcMNZPYc9
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to872Please respect copyright.PENANAyIab0A4beJ
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 872Please respect copyright.PENANAEXcvOahtGG
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 872Please respect copyright.PENANA2oGRRk2Nhq
talk to her either.872Please respect copyright.PENANALpFDXcolGa
And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.872Please respect copyright.PENANAL6wxg0s7lM
It so happened that 872Please respect copyright.PENANAtcgdaH3FdV
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 872Please respect copyright.PENANAjkQSv8p8qX
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 872Please respect copyright.PENANABzM8fdCKkU
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 872Please respect copyright.PENANACa3TjDKIL7
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 872Please respect copyright.PENANAdBXn9yBVXP
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.872Please respect copyright.PENANAYff2DaJfBQ
Now, I was sitting 872Please respect copyright.PENANA7kG0B5KEeK
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 872Please respect copyright.PENANAkpcIaKHgE0
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had872Please respect copyright.PENANAjcAAroCizV
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 872Please respect copyright.PENANA6EVoKO4372
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.872Please respect copyright.PENANAdCccYyMt4k
I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.872Please respect copyright.PENANAHXS8xjGAph
"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.872Please respect copyright.PENANAjWbQFZNqIa
"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.872Please respect copyright.PENANAG58g0nQ6E9
"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?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAySiUIABC2t
"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.872Please respect copyright.PENANA213Lsmxoq3
"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.872Please respect copyright.PENANAhJlGeMfKz6
"Lee!" I whined, putting872Please respect copyright.PENANAbOGXWWNa0h
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 872Please respect copyright.PENANAlny3peAGZC
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.872Please respect copyright.PENANA7Hr7ZTwZ52
"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."872Please respect copyright.PENANA9p3BHzNapz
"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.872Please respect copyright.PENANAIDwmamBvmV
"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."872Please respect copyright.PENANAwD4Y0xRQFH
"Why? I want to stay here."872Please respect copyright.PENANAtryjXoOQBl
"I need to go and shop 872Please respect copyright.PENANADq1UAv8oKb
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after872Please respect copyright.PENANAdJelWF1zPe
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."872Please respect copyright.PENANAdMClyXfLcJ
"But watching YouTube 872Please respect copyright.PENANATHv0Y5ZmMA
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 872Please respect copyright.PENANAZzB1HxF23a
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."872Please respect copyright.PENANAesHmFfwIP7
Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"872Please respect copyright.PENANA6yxHK90Ndx
"I think Lee is right, 872Please respect copyright.PENANAB6y9lr70KT
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 872Please respect copyright.PENANA1k7lSzCywt
out on Sundays like you do back home."872Please respect copyright.PENANAhVsU6GaYGw
"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.872Please respect copyright.PENANA6XjjTIMVhh
"I know you're a fan of 872Please respect copyright.PENANAXIeFKf0HPN
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 872Please respect copyright.PENANAig2brGEFLK
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.872Please respect copyright.PENANAtzG0Xtw36t
"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANAtfPSh4rddQ
"Well, that's what 872Please respect copyright.PENANAunWWzwxwN6
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 872Please respect copyright.PENANANpxAPRdZ1d
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."872Please respect copyright.PENANAVEoSJoxfM6
"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."872Please respect copyright.PENANAc3m29JWoN2
"That's what we are 872Please respect copyright.PENANAqMEJclomSN
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 872Please respect copyright.PENANAhbtmH1KvMp
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like872Please respect copyright.PENANApLXK9fRzQi
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."872Please respect copyright.PENANAWK9a6kZ0Su
Daniel's right. I had to872Please respect copyright.PENANAvDnGYKxLGu
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 872Please respect copyright.PENANAHa4W9z60ln
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 872Please respect copyright.PENANAe41OHFg17H
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?872Please respect copyright.PENANAGdI1GTEHK1
Unlike the others, Lee 872Please respect copyright.PENANA6FKV8m70w2
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 872Please respect copyright.PENANAbAcQxSHMPZ
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 872Please respect copyright.PENANASYyGUDSfNp
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 872Please respect copyright.PENANA3oDEKkhu80
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 872Please respect copyright.PENANALTvEdez4bF
and Zoey together.872Please respect copyright.PENANAXbJJRydsNF
I really wanted to tell 872Please respect copyright.PENANATsCOSdMiBr
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 872Please respect copyright.PENANARwlKVPcoqO
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I872Please respect copyright.PENANA9IKXYQkWvB
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 872Please respect copyright.PENANAtAItkuhmuI
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 872Please respect copyright.PENANAe5xrhOYWIq
When was I ever going to change?872Please respect copyright.PENANACsqP4OzK2e
"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."872Please respect copyright.PENANAueqaE4ZuHn
"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."872Please respect copyright.PENANAreedM8r3mn
"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANACteVIUtdOb
"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."872Please respect copyright.PENANAHcOKrl5UyZ
"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.872Please respect copyright.PENANAVrUcmpvysL
Lee, Mike and Daniel 872Please respect copyright.PENANANICa8yx57B
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 872Please respect copyright.PENANARJWOqL9xM2
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to872Please respect copyright.PENANA63eSdnVXDZ
my room to get my shoes.872Please respect copyright.PENANA9YEtJm33Ve
After I wore my white 872Please respect copyright.PENANAMopaMI0yxo
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 872Please respect copyright.PENANACH9MwAKBNt
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 872Please respect copyright.PENANAGG4P6JLmFJ
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 872Please respect copyright.PENANAxf2K8AbTIA
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each872Please respect copyright.PENANAa5SYhqsmER
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.872Please respect copyright.PENANA2LTVIwmtAa
"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."872Please respect copyright.PENANAmtOOY1KrBZ
"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."872Please respect copyright.PENANAHFR5OiHMvl
I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.872Please respect copyright.PENANAQA4Atyl6jh
I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.872Please respect copyright.PENANA1ElDCtsp65
"We can go, now," I told her.872Please respect copyright.PENANA4ntTHqG0tu
"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.872Please respect copyright.PENANAXb6Ssf5APX
"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.872Please respect copyright.PENANAFYSJqEU59P
"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.872Please respect copyright.PENANAYc9ivn5l1M
I smiled back at him. 872Please respect copyright.PENANAWJaRfClQRE
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 872Please respect copyright.PENANAtssadRma2I
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 872Please respect copyright.PENANAZegZg4oofN
guards in the other SUV.872Please respect copyright.PENANAJOASDFtUz6
"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.872Please respect copyright.PENANAHd8fSGcEwn
"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.872Please respect copyright.PENANAwFVd79FshI
"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."872Please respect copyright.PENANAPC9gx460YB
The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.872Please respect copyright.PENANArgT9hVruyM
"So, where are we going?" I asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANAVOWh8qY42B
"To the mall," Lee answered.872Please respect copyright.PENANACZaeuEpjHV
"How will the mall help me figure things out?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAsBwffOcKcc
"What's wrong with the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAa1xucfbgnB
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAjkPAaIjUvP
best plans just come out of the blue."872Please respect copyright.PENANA9lBkjhE5dY
"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."872Please respect copyright.PENANAzZWKOlc068
"And waste the day away? No way."872Please respect copyright.PENANA8ILjpFB7Gy
"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."872Please respect copyright.PENANAfFBaT7WZ1i
"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."872Please respect copyright.PENANAcYaL3q684p
"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."872Please respect copyright.PENANACks7YdrLqQ
"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAAqVLBLiZmF
"No. Zoey might have 872Please respect copyright.PENANAaekqnwWo2O
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 872Please respect copyright.PENANAjIKzMOpZbT
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 872Please respect copyright.PENANAF2ThPxXNSZ
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."872Please respect copyright.PENANAZMv8lPbxpF
"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAMImLdHM8Kj
"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."872Please respect copyright.PENANATIi2kBMgJQ
"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAnSsAIsnHUc
"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."872Please respect copyright.PENANAbmEIRTxGk7
Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.872Please respect copyright.PENANAdPB1AcKYba
"I don't know what to do872Please respect copyright.PENANAHT5NBnqRxK
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey872Please respect copyright.PENANAlJpHGHjEKY
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey872Please respect copyright.PENANAaUbZ85Tgig
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 872Please respect copyright.PENANAhhdlSMilCU
somehow."872Please respect copyright.PENANAmHjnMsRBsE
"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."872Please respect copyright.PENANAfgrscrnvAj
"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."872Please respect copyright.PENANAiYe0gy5DHC
"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."872Please respect copyright.PENANAsF3IXgvPR7
I folded my arms as I 872Please respect copyright.PENANAv11ZtMgf95
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 872Please respect copyright.PENANABszuhIwFMo
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 872Please respect copyright.PENANAMl8Y9uRZnz
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 872Please respect copyright.PENANAswdCtHsDP9
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.872Please respect copyright.PENANAChQIrEpbh8
We soon reached the mall872Please respect copyright.PENANAs0H18TylMF
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 872Please respect copyright.PENANAu3vOqHbYTk
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 872Please respect copyright.PENANATeGsMoVOUw
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 872Please respect copyright.PENANA8ffCAUmr3Q
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 872Please respect copyright.PENANAlhtV4TMp3E
the bodyguards were around.872Please respect copyright.PENANATCyADI0f0n
Lee and I first went 872Please respect copyright.PENANAQfn6DPuUFx
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 872Please respect copyright.PENANAjOVMbcJDP5
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for872Please respect copyright.PENANAEmsO05F4yf
a while. I was having fun.872Please respect copyright.PENANAQjCyEh4G4O
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.872Please respect copyright.PENANA3bThed48Lt
Lee and I soon came out 872Please respect copyright.PENANA5Np4tCvZ9b
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 872Please respect copyright.PENANA2HP3Eq2EQM
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 872Please respect copyright.PENANAfVXClv765w
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 872Please respect copyright.PENANAnb9LZNzDZ2
our bags because we bought way too much.872Please respect copyright.PENANARCeKkLpFsq
When we walked out of 872Please respect copyright.PENANANQJSPfxNbX
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 872Please respect copyright.PENANA5tawH7rWff
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 872Please respect copyright.PENANAeNDBafBpwK
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAm3TUJOcjMb
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.872Please respect copyright.PENANAaDpN9m7CR3
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.872Please respect copyright.PENANA8fz2R6MdWA
I couldn't answer Lee. I872Please respect copyright.PENANAHYwmOQSntC
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 872Please respect copyright.PENANAgWCDnRUPYG
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.872Please respect copyright.PENANALBzr3rCqwo
"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.872Please respect copyright.PENANAoH9M0RLxXH
"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.872Please respect copyright.PENANA2B8CTG8HvW
"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"872Please respect copyright.PENANA32E0SXQWuB
"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."872Please respect copyright.PENANASFyhlWhVhs
"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."872Please respect copyright.PENANA9QTCXAHkib
"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.872Please respect copyright.PENANArWekpl6fSk
"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAQigmDuFVb5
"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.872Please respect copyright.PENANAG1jksZCodM
I looked at each and 872Please respect copyright.PENANAs3asDpsV5F
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 872Please respect copyright.PENANAVOpYIUYK3T
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.872Please respect copyright.PENANA0DPpFsBNH6
"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.872Please respect copyright.PENANA6T9PM3Tc8w
"What?" Lee looked 872Please respect copyright.PENANAt2gXxRqn42
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 872Please respect copyright.PENANA0DyHO1E4e6
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 872Please respect copyright.PENANAkX6rbB1q5B
panda."872Please respect copyright.PENANAwZVvOePQ0E
"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."872Please respect copyright.PENANAXgLtRUrFvv
"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.872Please respect copyright.PENANAhGIdiKdVcs
"Derrick's brother sent 872Please respect copyright.PENANACcAQvpx3W0
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 872Please respect copyright.PENANAlINcYfPsgq
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy872Please respect copyright.PENANAqyGND3MNmH
bear."872Please respect copyright.PENANAONonaiZYpE
"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."872Please respect copyright.PENANAV1B6TnsCIb
"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAZXPS8tMka9
"I don't get it though."872Please respect copyright.PENANA39fuHKH1LF
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 872Please respect copyright.PENANANO1zIVypAN
so concerned about that small teddy?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAyk04gRFyGY
"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."872Please respect copyright.PENANAx4tYhhKPPT
***872Please respect copyright.PENANAkXclroosfh
Zoey's P.O.V872Please respect copyright.PENANA6BY7rP00br
"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.872Please respect copyright.PENANAVdRxXDVMBt
"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.872Please respect copyright.PENANABnyn3YwVm9
"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."872Please respect copyright.PENANAWEgDT1BOaV
"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."872Please respect copyright.PENANAwuZqVakRNc
"How am I treating her unfairly?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ7W5cJVgh
"You moved out of the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAGKpMuMduKB
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 872Please respect copyright.PENANA1saei4d1tN
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 872Please respect copyright.PENANAJRExBNVq2m
of alien or something."872Please respect copyright.PENANAkYupg8aArF
I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."872Please respect copyright.PENANAjMCRq2jXeg
In a quick flash, a 872Please respect copyright.PENANAwzoKYOmHzO
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAEqhORlXiZv
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.872Please respect copyright.PENANApmUtciDayb
"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.872Please respect copyright.PENANAGoPqsWMGdG
"Do you want more of 872Please respect copyright.PENANAIArYMghBvQ
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 872Please respect copyright.PENANAOPe6MA23o6
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.872Please respect copyright.PENANAeGzQdemLMl
"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."872Please respect copyright.PENANAgNVM1kioCD
"You got that right." 872Please respect copyright.PENANAVLxh8FMU7f
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't872Please respect copyright.PENANAbYkcaqxlDM
ignore her like you're doing forever."872Please respect copyright.PENANA37238ntA7e
"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.872Please respect copyright.PENANA0qCgZMKY5M
"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."872Please respect copyright.PENANAX7Q9gAjep4
"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."872Please respect copyright.PENANALL5Sqf8uH2
Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.872Please respect copyright.PENANABjEUDAd6iG
"It's normal for someone872Please respect copyright.PENANAyDpQP6tFzq
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last872Please respect copyright.PENANAwLb40dlNsk
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 872Please respect copyright.PENANActL5dIj8nT
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,872Please respect copyright.PENANA96cDs0h85u
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 872Please respect copyright.PENANA9rZR0AcCtV
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."872Please respect copyright.PENANAIcqDPzFYiE
I always hated such kind872Please respect copyright.PENANAoUA99zVmgg
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I872Please respect copyright.PENANAK2zCsumotE
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact872Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4m5gLELYP
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,872Please respect copyright.PENANAiv29H0qbp7
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I872Please respect copyright.PENANAGp8ehE6SKt
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 872Please respect copyright.PENANAcBJfRYxmvb
nothing.872Please respect copyright.PENANAuMK54BSvbZ
I've never told anyone 872Please respect copyright.PENANAOFjWi6KK5X
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 872Please respect copyright.PENANAIUm6lQfbpT
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a872Please respect copyright.PENANAOPwKB46tpy
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 872Please respect copyright.PENANAk95cmHSiXY
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 872Please respect copyright.PENANAbZBbVeEmc6
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 872Please respect copyright.PENANAkBSF5vYPho
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.872Please respect copyright.PENANAjLhrfWOnNV
I am Yin and she is 872Please respect copyright.PENANAFx7nGwjGDV
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAczpbUeNAKU
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 872Please respect copyright.PENANADBIaCJEAIP
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam872Please respect copyright.PENANAzablhUAp7R
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?872Please respect copyright.PENANAhBdfiPQDXB
And now when I needed 872Please respect copyright.PENANAaIsm4AATwd
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAdqjb6Ce3Qr
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into872Please respect copyright.PENANApMwwQzMN3A
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 872Please respect copyright.PENANADxkdohcu2f
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 872Please respect copyright.PENANApY0OOEIP5T
serious situation with a very dangerous person.872Please respect copyright.PENANAHr9rpc7K5w
It all begun when I went872Please respect copyright.PENANAK4fdDnLxf8
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 872Please respect copyright.PENANAS3ThhJyGQP
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 872Please respect copyright.PENANAQoAnwkmctU
this mess.872Please respect copyright.PENANAzbPjO3KfS2
We were having so much 872Please respect copyright.PENANArf6dRvouGB
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 872Please respect copyright.PENANAnNctzJvwow
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAPa83FdC6vD
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 872Please respect copyright.PENANAiyNhIurKtX
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 872Please respect copyright.PENANAtrKpMW3NFl
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 872Please respect copyright.PENANAbZuz3KKQjN
things did go wrong.872Please respect copyright.PENANANyhIcmtufi
As we were watching the 872Please respect copyright.PENANABx2hxJhGup
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 872Please respect copyright.PENANANunD73E8zw
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me872Please respect copyright.PENANAz4LqmO0cvO
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.872Please respect copyright.PENANA3kQOl3QEXJ
When I looked at him, he872Please respect copyright.PENANAosIjeYhtlQ
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised872Please respect copyright.PENANAAmfMGxbnQn
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 872Please respect copyright.PENANAhf9JNdNs4F
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 872Please respect copyright.PENANAG5WrWzWQW9
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAcBpM2v6h2W
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.872Please respect copyright.PENANAXvKKmZIqin
After the show when 872Please respect copyright.PENANAnF0CFHPtTa
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 872Please respect copyright.PENANAAx4DGs4Cw3
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 872Please respect copyright.PENANANyUqKmArOo
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 872Please respect copyright.PENANAffhDn8bbTQ
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAD3kIiGYjXF
take a few minutes.872Please respect copyright.PENANAiWh0SlfMux
I didn't find anything 872Please respect copyright.PENANAsE2Crzb07B
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 872Please respect copyright.PENANAtR1C1YzayG
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 872Please respect copyright.PENANA8Gmqn4dzmE
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 872Please respect copyright.PENANAnk0eb55IMl
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 872Please respect copyright.PENANArhq2XB0q3g
too much.872Please respect copyright.PENANAG0woWUeHxD
Jehan led the way out 872Please respect copyright.PENANAPFHQwj4egg
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 872Please respect copyright.PENANA2Q0vcYPDDz
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 872Please respect copyright.PENANAyGCt7iAOmL
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 872Please respect copyright.PENANAtr1SwEyF5y
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 872Please respect copyright.PENANAvzF9WB6hor
that I felt a little safe.872Please respect copyright.PENANAMmug40KWHx
The two of us soon found872Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4MmGZbPsA
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 872Please respect copyright.PENANA7qz8LxuFmR
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAZy3rXiE3Wi
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 872Please respect copyright.PENANAHdBbaxCZDd
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 872Please respect copyright.PENANAalMmgyuNoR
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a872Please respect copyright.PENANAlaFacoYgpq
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAOJvTQyVZy1
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing872Please respect copyright.PENANAdNx0wOnBzY
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 872Please respect copyright.PENANASrTFCnCgNG
menacing.872Please respect copyright.PENANAkoz3LWDxYX
He gave me something for872Please respect copyright.PENANAm6yCNEBGx2
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 872Please respect copyright.PENANAtWHWRKcsOC
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 872Please respect copyright.PENANA6rpmuMVxvV
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 872Please respect copyright.PENANAhNIRh1KBy4
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 872Please respect copyright.PENANAzegbpu0CQ1
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 872Please respect copyright.PENANAyvjgckH6Gd
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.872Please respect copyright.PENANAOSYnlP8tG9
Whatever he sent me that872Please respect copyright.PENANAigThf5Jnau
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 872Please respect copyright.PENANA4kCFCsgOR1
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 872Please respect copyright.PENANAavNjJaF6C4
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 872Please respect copyright.PENANAfStRrghZUE
happened yesterday.872Please respect copyright.PENANARjaTeFj5OO
I had never been in this872Please respect copyright.PENANARH1K9crDk7
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?872Please respect copyright.PENANAICwmQK3zxZ
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest872Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ3U234MZE
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 872Please respect copyright.PENANAcGzVkx2tnU
crying out loud. I had to do something.872Please respect copyright.PENANAp28cN9pI2J
My phone rang bringing 872Please respect copyright.PENANAcYqFNOjfDU
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 872Please respect copyright.PENANA7qmc2ny46h
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside872Please respect copyright.PENANAiks8pDCv6L
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.872Please respect copyright.PENANAAKqpmntbVf
"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.872Please respect copyright.PENANAIgjunWv3lx
"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.872Please respect copyright.PENANAMbEP0dyj1d
"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.872Please respect copyright.PENANAXUosPM4oYC
"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."872Please respect copyright.PENANAM4hONl0VKq
I would have told him to872Please respect copyright.PENANA2e7UJkbHEH
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 872Please respect copyright.PENANAKqwA3mhWyb
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.872Please respect copyright.PENANA5eNeIilvDB
"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.872Please respect copyright.PENANABD3oHW4n8r
"Looks like you aren't 872Please respect copyright.PENANAn7DQRa8Xt8
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.872Please respect copyright.PENANAqOKJQxJ1JQ
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."872Please respect copyright.PENANAziHlkuxybf
"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.872Please respect copyright.PENANAgKpwuS00H3
"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAnt61fxvpTZ
"Just get to the point, 872Please respect copyright.PENANARpY0jZzGxy
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 872Please respect copyright.PENANAXYLnlXcxmj
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.872Please respect copyright.PENANAg5iPqgmwie
"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.872Please respect copyright.PENANATxhqedzkuX
"Today? Are you serious?"872Please respect copyright.PENANADeECkbsZQC
"You know that I am. We meet today."872Please respect copyright.PENANA1gn3efn6Gl
"But where?"872Please respect copyright.PENANACXoQnKxjyP
"At the mall."872Please respect copyright.PENANA4JAN0zxSdI
For a moment I almost 872Please respect copyright.PENANAWj0lYRMMug
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to872Please respect copyright.PENANAeDIphP5EkI
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 872Please respect copyright.PENANAPA84m6gmz4
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAsglNG4D82D
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.872Please respect copyright.PENANAJYfjHsPLlv
"What's so funny?" Jehan872Please respect copyright.PENANA11h7CeqEiO
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 872Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZDn4sWES6
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 872Please respect copyright.PENANAJaB7yjhCGw
myself.872Please respect copyright.PENANA6qJi1i1Bw0
"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."872Please respect copyright.PENANAmSDq1WglqM
"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."872Please respect copyright.PENANAqnFysuoCZE
If he thought saying 872Please respect copyright.PENANA3vck54wyuZ
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me872Please respect copyright.PENANAyIdRl5DRJU
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.872Please respect copyright.PENANA1QKa0yG17Y
"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.872Please respect copyright.PENANA7OUEZzHuye
"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."872Please respect copyright.PENANAn7IfmqSj2P
"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."872Please respect copyright.PENANAJWD5v0TdLB
"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."872Please respect copyright.PENANAWebQt5Lb7h
"Ya, sure."872Please respect copyright.PENANA3WvsITmLWa
Jehan didn't say 872Please respect copyright.PENANAQmEDKEYFET
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 872Please respect copyright.PENANAAhoLx3eFFH
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 872Please respect copyright.PENANABHdBuBZIxh
Typical.872Please respect copyright.PENANAidhJjpKoSX
"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.872Please respect copyright.PENANAlglcySud4V
"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."872Please respect copyright.PENANA0gE3uXhbMh
"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAGJy2z2iLPF
"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."872Please respect copyright.PENANADGhs829GT8
"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.872Please respect copyright.PENANASnT0mb5Ede
"Why? You think I would?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAypIb92CoBy
"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."872Please respect copyright.PENANAql27UBsjoA
"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."872Please respect copyright.PENANAWUxuQNQqPC
"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.872Please respect copyright.PENANAwJRLLvWry0
"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.872Please respect copyright.PENANAsUMCN27Elo
"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.872Please respect copyright.PENANAsxXwVPhyPR
"That one. Where is it?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAi23OTlobBg
"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.872Please respect copyright.PENANAeJmlzo2A5N
"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."872Please respect copyright.PENANADn5IGuuoZw
Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.872Please respect copyright.PENANAh66n6MTlQ4
"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."872Please respect copyright.PENANATRq59LbOaP
"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."872Please respect copyright.PENANA74wZC4gXH3
"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."872Please respect copyright.PENANAKLr4IlaLEr
Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.872Please respect copyright.PENANANSR6ryy1ZP
I quietly went over to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAtkZfjTuCzn
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 872Please respect copyright.PENANAlA3bCNLOTw
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back872Please respect copyright.PENANA06fRfi9Q9p
soon.872Please respect copyright.PENANAr5Qrlhr7qp
I came to the drawer 872Please respect copyright.PENANARRQalaSQrL
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 872Please respect copyright.PENANAYqjFhgvlvl
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?872Please respect copyright.PENANAj88sqzoJnl
I looked at her bed and 872Please respect copyright.PENANAOIg2zUVn7E
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 872Please respect copyright.PENANAGhFQbbigKB
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.872Please respect copyright.PENANA975wi8uGRY
"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."872Please respect copyright.PENANARdX16hkJyx
I heard the tap in the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAVgGQHJl2AF
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 872Please respect copyright.PENANAwlDTPROMSY
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 872Please respect copyright.PENANAOlf20pJK6s
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 872Please respect copyright.PENANAZuq3MKilgl
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.872Please respect copyright.PENANAHqkTXszjmV
***872Please respect copyright.PENANAx72PfOA0RW
Sam's P.O.V872Please respect copyright.PENANAu6ORNq1PMA
"Do you really think 872Please respect copyright.PENANAGyiOv6BKXi
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 872Please respect copyright.PENANAm5TltqKldZ
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.872Please respect copyright.PENANAFc5MmkPIml
"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.872Please respect copyright.PENANADPuCMZ7Y1u
"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAVjBnXeL8Iq
"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAzReFlNQXKm
"I hope it's not drugs."872Please respect copyright.PENANAwMAn3fA9VM
"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.872Please respect copyright.PENANAJ93mjYff5k
"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.872Please respect copyright.PENANAJAcOUFG1C6
"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.872Please respect copyright.PENANA5sUbq4eJCi
"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAdWnQHA4nkx
"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."872Please respect copyright.PENANAzTVdTo0ojJ
"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAlGsz0ufs1p
"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."872Please respect copyright.PENANAmutGDBTDzu
"She did a pretty good job on that one."872Please respect copyright.PENANA4zUlp842xb
"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAtEwF3r77Mc
"Zoey."872Please respect copyright.PENANAY22lCf037x
"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 872Please respect copyright.PENANAOZ1WiuvUCO
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 872Please respect copyright.PENANAE5KoAPapBM
they couldn't because of our little fight."872Please respect copyright.PENANAKdJi3MJzPf
"Mmm." Lee took a fry 872Please respect copyright.PENANAYMln6ZDVBQ
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 872Please respect copyright.PENANAMDGPDFNqHs
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAIdnd2mm43o
I raised an eyebrow at 872Please respect copyright.PENANAVAvEFliUoo
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 872Please respect copyright.PENANAU3C64FYnk2
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.872Please respect copyright.PENANAipNEreaT75
"Shoot!" I said loudly 872Please respect copyright.PENANAeN5WhmIADd
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 872Please respect copyright.PENANAgM4UsraRBa
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 872Please respect copyright.PENANAUVDCZSQeOK
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."872Please respect copyright.PENANArpkf9ypLKv
"About what?" Lee asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANAjGKdglLY3l
"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."872Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ2b0MCcHS
"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."872Please respect copyright.PENANA80bRpm1KUT
"But today might be the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAiyGMo5LT6J
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 872Please respect copyright.PENANABJIlF6jd4B
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."872Please respect copyright.PENANAH0Fq5XOEQ2
"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."872Please respect copyright.PENANA8nwPoS8LV9
My heart rate quickened 872Please respect copyright.PENANAvxJSg1dYuz
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 872Please respect copyright.PENANAO5qLw3hLJY
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?872Please respect copyright.PENANAMx0AODeLco
"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.872Please respect copyright.PENANAJYFdWlRKn0
"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."872Please respect copyright.PENANAxhET0sxIQ2
"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.872Please respect copyright.PENANAxjGGFX3WMN
"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."872Please respect copyright.PENANAfvyHYFydqT
"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."872Please respect copyright.PENANABfXYEHwZbn
Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.872Please respect copyright.PENANAhTfHANUtAa
"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."872Please respect copyright.PENANAIfNmqjEKB2
There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.872Please respect copyright.PENANA6RHZ3WgN8b
"Alright, thanks, 872Please respect copyright.PENANAfXbMZCx9yB
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 872Please respect copyright.PENANAlol4VG36q7
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 872Please respect copyright.PENANADZ0ZQRCck3
Seungri."872Please respect copyright.PENANA5Rgg2tihY7
I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."872Please respect copyright.PENANAu9eSxWV3Np
"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."872Please respect copyright.PENANAU7CXI8aL0A
"Did Christine say where she had gone?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAzzT8KlZWhN
"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."872Please respect copyright.PENANAVs487JlLyt
I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.872Please respect copyright.PENANAvwvov0DwOY
"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAPn36EKvsKF
"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"872Please respect copyright.PENANA71Y84niR0y
"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAgtjqtrfd56
"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"872Please respect copyright.PENANA0EgP9rSW2Y
"Yes, I am." I could 872Please respect copyright.PENANABpjQN3XFEb
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 872Please respect copyright.PENANA5jumSCX0Vl
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman872Please respect copyright.PENANAL1IdFLFuiF
perhaps?"872Please respect copyright.PENANANKLyaYTzya
I rolled my eyes and as 872Please respect copyright.PENANAyB9IbXmeNy
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 872Please respect copyright.PENANAArXhJrxfq0
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me872Please respect copyright.PENANAA3yfCBqqDy
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.872Please respect copyright.PENANAGPHQu7gdZi
"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.872Please respect copyright.PENANAMReUk0WHrO
"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."872Please respect copyright.PENANAUbrU5Dp6ks
I bit my lower lip and 872Please respect copyright.PENANAVm6K4M9ciQ
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 872Please respect copyright.PENANAy0kipbolJx
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.872Please respect copyright.PENANA0pztaq7lvB
"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."872Please respect copyright.PENANAoUHFxtP6Zi
"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAB6hS0hLgfk
"I'm at the mall with Lee."872Please respect copyright.PENANAY4vSvHXkKZ
"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."872Please respect copyright.PENANAEfXJhF2Yxk
"Bye."872Please respect copyright.PENANAwXv8LjLMIl
"Bye, my little kitty."872Please respect copyright.PENANAgL6qFSCuDc
"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.872Please respect copyright.PENANAzy7CCZB4Aq
"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.872Please respect copyright.PENANAUP9sQtcskB
"So, he isn't with Zoey?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAmVVY9xgZmo
"Nope. And he isn't 872Please respect copyright.PENANAl0jsXXr7rB
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 872Please respect copyright.PENANAEpV3xPDnxh
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."872Please respect copyright.PENANAshLyrKyxJe
"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."872Please respect copyright.PENANA7HMpfAwQoT
"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."872Please respect copyright.PENANAxUhLxjATyD
"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."872Please respect copyright.PENANA8HSgEOghht
I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."872Please respect copyright.PENANAaEzAaAytdO
Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."872Please respect copyright.PENANAyr89fOCUIY
"Tell me about it." I 872Please respect copyright.PENANAn4EGSSz24V
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 872Please respect copyright.PENANAwHe0J7MiCO
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."872Please respect copyright.PENANAqEMe3YtU9G
"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."872Please respect copyright.PENANAiC715Kqrrx
I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.872Please respect copyright.PENANAzsSHGxShMb
After we were done with 872Please respect copyright.PENANAkXYTd46LfR
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 872Please respect copyright.PENANAmWFCdZcKyz
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.872Please respect copyright.PENANA09jKbTCuUj
As soon as we walked out872Please respect copyright.PENANAe91GSrE66Q
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right872Please respect copyright.PENANA826PsB5Xv9
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 872Please respect copyright.PENANA2V4pQeAFUy
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 872Please respect copyright.PENANAMPfd96akDL
looking black suit stepped out.872Please respect copyright.PENANAAz2X3vYtvl
Time seemed to have 872Please respect copyright.PENANAIUnJFpRHnP
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 872Please respect copyright.PENANA9FkLJ1pNMo
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 872Please respect copyright.PENANAGGkO4X2IcQ
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 872Please respect copyright.PENANANvCAxGXxcy
something familiar about him.872Please respect copyright.PENANAqXzNKeUjkD
Just as I was about to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAs7dqevXwdH
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 872Please respect copyright.PENANAgaUK2GUXuM
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.872Please respect copyright.PENANAsAfEz2xEP8
I almost tripped and 872Please respect copyright.PENANAEAgOHrzp49
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me872Please respect copyright.PENANA9Lhc4oQXEn
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 872Please respect copyright.PENANAJSwsMawJnu
me from falling.872Please respect copyright.PENANALS2rr5p80Z
"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."872Please respect copyright.PENANATBCJouXaC1
I didn't say a word as I872Please respect copyright.PENANA7crt77Ojmg
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 872Please respect copyright.PENANAvp7xq0LniZ
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.872Please respect copyright.PENANAkpWWtxSvlk
"We need to go back, Lee," I said.872Please respect copyright.PENANA8UsRPlofIn
"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."872Please respect copyright.PENANA3GZRbuMLEs
"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."872Please respect copyright.PENANAtfdwiCaslI
"May I please know what's going on with you?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAXMkmpOF2wA
"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."872Please respect copyright.PENANABO4jcmFYWV
***872Please respect copyright.PENANAOXKgLF4EQS
Narrator's P.O.V872Please respect copyright.PENANALRPIi7Ci7o
Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.872Please respect copyright.PENANAc2QVkjnwBz
"Hey guys, am here," 872Please respect copyright.PENANAaLtrL5eZHz
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 872Please respect copyright.PENANA3nV7MZkN4u
look downcast as though someone's just died."872Please respect copyright.PENANADMSYzVu9kz
"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.872Please respect copyright.PENANAA0LxO4SLHj
"This is getting real 872Please respect copyright.PENANAvX08T47yvD
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 872Please respect copyright.PENANAP74sHUDiLH
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 872Please respect copyright.PENANArnIh0sutAu
her or with anyone of you."872Please respect copyright.PENANA8Z1kv3KS1h
"No, I think now is the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAIa9oKaEOmX
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the872Please respect copyright.PENANA0NqZXEGrB4
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."872Please respect copyright.PENANAw4MPLNON75
"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.872Please respect copyright.PENANAoWUkuMzaSm
"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."872Please respect copyright.PENANAokgmc8evzQ
"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.872Please respect copyright.PENANAgbFmWcr2Je
"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.872Please respect copyright.PENANA6LNW5CMEOH
"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.872Please respect copyright.PENANAZzglG0cBF6
"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.872Please respect copyright.PENANA7afL6kmIHW
"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."872Please respect copyright.PENANAZYY2v3zwo7
The others rolled their 872Please respect copyright.PENANAYyUnWtsj5p
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 872Please respect copyright.PENANAA7YmvISpoq
around and now wasn't the time for it.872Please respect copyright.PENANAaDDJBI2ikL
"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.872Please respect copyright.PENANAAtlIRVReTy
"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.872Please respect copyright.PENANAQxdX7KWORv
G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.872Please respect copyright.PENANA3LgMmQ9hr7
"Well, maybe," said 872Please respect copyright.PENANAV2axrCCpT9
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk872Please respect copyright.PENANADSIEkKRA80
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 872Please respect copyright.PENANAhqwbzRDekI
she told me to break things up with Zoey."872Please respect copyright.PENANAXM2fZLNeNB
"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANAVnHMLjMOJq
"When I saw Daesung and 872Please respect copyright.PENANABej52gWlzE
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 872Please respect copyright.PENANAi4Rtjv8riK
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."872Please respect copyright.PENANAwhOQAeE4Uy
"And you still are," said Taeyang.872Please respect copyright.PENANAQwTeDjTcpO
G-Dragon didn't answer 872Please respect copyright.PENANAYhX8v4P6J1
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 872Please respect copyright.PENANAxPdn72PtFi
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.872Please respect copyright.PENANAwNXACaMDBm
"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."872Please respect copyright.PENANAHUZrECf79W
"What do you mean?" 872Please respect copyright.PENANAwaGXVbFR9S
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 872Please respect copyright.PENANA7phMzlKxWs
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."872Please respect copyright.PENANATlXeWPVKKt
"She was just doing that872Please respect copyright.PENANAkxWQ0eHOt8
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 872Please respect copyright.PENANAyhzNGnKca8
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 872Please respect copyright.PENANAEjf2FJbKTT
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 872Please respect copyright.PENANA49pREyc3nf
be together."872Please respect copyright.PENANAMddjEhxQIw
"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.872Please respect copyright.PENANAQIhC3h0EVO
"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."872Please respect copyright.PENANAWUAbnSHrIS
All the four BigBang 872Please respect copyright.PENANA9aeQWg9NUI
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there872Please respect copyright.PENANASrEdOzc1La
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 872Please respect copyright.PENANAPPR8hEuJz7
heard him come in.872Please respect copyright.PENANAe1bUQjvY3s
"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."872Please respect copyright.PENANAk5ykF7sg9s
"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.872Please respect copyright.PENANAJojn7t2Lzw
"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."872Please respect copyright.PENANAFKNiD0ssFf
"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAGsdUzXxk4i
"I'm not going to stay 872Please respect copyright.PENANAL17Qcu9erF
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 872Please respect copyright.PENANAgCyxsDDSan
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."872Please respect copyright.PENANAH05VINmnHk
"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.872Please respect copyright.PENANAAVjdJVaDaF
"No, I don't."872Please respect copyright.PENANADMP5hmClku
Before G-Dragon could 872Please respect copyright.PENANAgJVaayP415
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 872Please respect copyright.PENANASWQyeVUaBi
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.872Please respect copyright.PENANAfOj5WEYeJC
"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.872Please respect copyright.PENANAsivLOsDSv3
"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.872Please respect copyright.PENANAjop8KxTVie
"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.872Please respect copyright.PENANAEprcYINabi
G-Dragon folded his arms872Please respect copyright.PENANAtLHv59PALU
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 872Please respect copyright.PENANANhny9OBdHj
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 872Please respect copyright.PENANAMKrLuRJ3rn
stared at the ceiling.872Please respect copyright.PENANA8GJ6F2G3Um
"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."872Please respect copyright.PENANAfHFIvp5x23
Daesung came into the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAAmjUuyl8vj
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 872Please respect copyright.PENANAUlZ0NWQgkc
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.872Please respect copyright.PENANAmUPpIT2XQl
"Look, I know you're 872Please respect copyright.PENANACxdFBm8ZiT
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first872Please respect copyright.PENANATkh4RNV8RU
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 872Please respect copyright.PENANAh4MwXYgQzS
never told me anything either."872Please respect copyright.PENANA1o9zfwZZsK
"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.872Please respect copyright.PENANADRQ9Fa1Dkg
"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."872Please respect copyright.PENANAzWgprROBX1
"Why?"872Please respect copyright.PENANA1vFCdPBPoS
"She just felt like it 872Please respect copyright.PENANAnK7uuudQEW
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 872Please respect copyright.PENANARZnLwihPey
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks872Please respect copyright.PENANAg22q2nPTrI
long distance relationships will ever work out."872Please respect copyright.PENANALzPrqGNbZg
"Then, why did you kiss her?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAAS3gxxBOkr
"Because I know I'll 872Please respect copyright.PENANAVUXMjuYPlb
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great872Please respect copyright.PENANAsnZSulKoX6
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 872Please respect copyright.PENANAAA4VK8Q47N
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 872Please respect copyright.PENANAgUJCbOelVw
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 872Please respect copyright.PENANAm09v2O22rH
want to hurt anyone either.872Please respect copyright.PENANAF0YzxLWIlP
"Maybe that's why she 872Please respect copyright.PENANAPz18jSpWsu
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 872Please respect copyright.PENANAnXJR0opeX2
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss872Please respect copyright.PENANAgLEh2d9YDZ
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."872Please respect copyright.PENANA7l8WadiGvl
"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.872Please respect copyright.PENANAO8LkUsRYhN
"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANAIb5eP4BJmi
"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.872Please respect copyright.PENANAn3g4izJ0Kd
"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."872Please respect copyright.PENANAV3NHEPbriX
"I know."872Please respect copyright.PENANAf2jDUo84JX
"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANARq9I9PMZCv
"I'll think about it."872Please respect copyright.PENANABz6KUJnlNb
"No, no, no!" Seungri 872Please respect copyright.PENANADnnv3AUpVJ
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you872Please respect copyright.PENANA6mrLPXp4Ow
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAknCzeTwoWH
the mall."872Please respect copyright.PENANA8w9FcZXEWz
Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.872Please respect copyright.PENANAa9jPTKg5E7
"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAsJjyBPF8wU
"Ya," said Seungri, 872Please respect copyright.PENANAGK3fmLPL5V
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 872Please respect copyright.PENANAxmWeAGmyE8
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."872Please respect copyright.PENANAQu2VCWpkxT
"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."872Please respect copyright.PENANA8X8lEQ6BFv
"There is no time to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAYClgY8HRjJ
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 872Please respect copyright.PENANAbCcGF7K9Qv
this to Sam. It's not right at all."872Please respect copyright.PENANA8RYkbXKOpL
"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."872Please respect copyright.PENANAGKWZZzdHmy
"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."872Please respect copyright.PENANAyOwsEuPKKp
"We're your best 872Please respect copyright.PENANA68x488rZi0
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 872Please respect copyright.PENANAa7F9NfUVR9
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."872Please respect copyright.PENANAleVwuL3Zky
"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.872Please respect copyright.PENANAHX1NnEeHMV

Zoey's P.O.V872Please respect copyright.PENANAxbvdQgnOQY
I came out of the black 872Please respect copyright.PENANATIcG1AzxrV
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 872Please respect copyright.PENANAjYcQGioMou
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 872Please respect copyright.PENANAvfmuPW91qS
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 872Please respect copyright.PENANATJ9E4AitEv
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 872Please respect copyright.PENANA0iBHZ5GkWM
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 872Please respect copyright.PENANAFLeuZuniFB
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 872Please respect copyright.PENANAdLsZExBbZm
by my fans.872Please respect copyright.PENANAyJajUl2ldO
I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.872Please respect copyright.PENANAxWD0K9twkZ
"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.872Please respect copyright.PENANAbyJq4z3g8e
"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANAv8XZPgA8bI
"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."872Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7OrORXlTI
"Okay."872Please respect copyright.PENANADiaF4D91Og
"Did you bring what I asked for?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAczk3B4kybX
I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."872Please respect copyright.PENANAsmd6iAImeA
"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."872Please respect copyright.PENANAJV2L3pbZur
"Well, I'm glad you 872Please respect copyright.PENANAXci6vmOZU3
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 872Please respect copyright.PENANAAB9MvZvNDD
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 872Please respect copyright.PENANAfXvnDk3X4V
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 872Please respect copyright.PENANA9ghbzBH5eJ
lot smarter than you think."872Please respect copyright.PENANANeTQ9IR9IM
"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.872Please respect copyright.PENANAaIjctzTWEY
"Mr Grumpy is such a 872Please respect copyright.PENANA24iMBe6NR4
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 872Please respect copyright.PENANAxuQaBwM5pI
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.872Please respect copyright.PENANADsFWH1v3vq
When I went into the 872Please respect copyright.PENANATZX2vIdegc
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 872Please respect copyright.PENANA4s5PR2Z0K6
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.872Please respect copyright.PENANACy7ryV3dkh
I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.872Please respect copyright.PENANACJX4NWeOw1
"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.872Please respect copyright.PENANAQQZg5ylHYn
"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.872Please respect copyright.PENANAvF6hInEXzi
I shivered. Despite his 872Please respect copyright.PENANA38TLKyYvkK
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 872Please respect copyright.PENANAITGIHxDpHB
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 872Please respect copyright.PENANALN9kaAjprq
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 872Please respect copyright.PENANAsvdxBngL9k
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.872Please respect copyright.PENANA46nl8AoFob
"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."872Please respect copyright.PENANANTIWHR40d4
"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANA9yqOfasiTj
"Why do you need to 872Please respect copyright.PENANA7QArCeOUTf
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 872Please respect copyright.PENANAwTyuvwpIaN
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.872Please respect copyright.PENANAyMptyMxGdV
"Well, I need to know 872Please respect copyright.PENANAZNA3pbGoJg
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 872Please respect copyright.PENANAbWWslHUYCJ
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.872Please respect copyright.PENANA0icsBpGxKj
"And tell me, why should872Please respect copyright.PENANAi3yxRNkPJb
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 872Please respect copyright.PENANANqg4Do2bZ0
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 872Please respect copyright.PENANAMKeF80caMM
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 872Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4LNrOmDvq
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.872Please respect copyright.PENANArwxfLmeo1r
"I...eh..." I looked him872Please respect copyright.PENANAXCKtSYzo73
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 872Please respect copyright.PENANAbeChMGn8Ne
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 872Please respect copyright.PENANAknjeqa9lzO
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 872Please respect copyright.PENANANH6Lo5tscv
the kind who would send such a thing."872Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3A8GPpeUg
"Oh, really?" Jehan 872Please respect copyright.PENANAxtI0T9EmLW
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 872Please respect copyright.PENANAQU36CO2snp
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAvhZ6KmXdMv
"I don't know." I 872Please respect copyright.PENANALNKUA9YH7T
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 872Please respect copyright.PENANAuqTU43xI5n
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you872Please respect copyright.PENANACUapt7FD9r
up to?"872Please respect copyright.PENANA2cSSzVQmoa
Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.872Please respect copyright.PENANAToZc3IVpfw
"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."872Please respect copyright.PENANAbbjvLiDxhh
"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"872Please respect copyright.PENANATeAkA3IGLj
"What's the matter with that?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAqI5skqHCip
"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."872Please respect copyright.PENANA0xD88YLnhS
"Don't test my patience,872Please respect copyright.PENANAx4nb9JR0cS
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAjC4FrjCSiE
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 872Please respect copyright.PENANACkaO0TPw10
think you deserve to you know."872Please respect copyright.PENANAmeZY6YrGx8
"Well, yes, I do."872Please respect copyright.PENANAyKbDcb5JJG
Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."872Please respect copyright.PENANAnwGki58tuZ

Sam's P.O.V872Please respect copyright.PENANAxzZSEeP2Bf

across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 872Please respect copyright.PENANAryc4IdqLQF
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and872Please respect copyright.PENANAIyTuhkro4d
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 872Please respect copyright.PENANAyZpXTihwTU

the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 872Please respect copyright.PENANAp5ANsLHnb4
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed872Please respect copyright.PENANAN197NiopXt
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 872Please respect copyright.PENANAMSpsVD1OZr
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 872Please respect copyright.PENANAmf5K7WQm61
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.872Please respect copyright.PENANAkCsS5yWXcK
"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."872Please respect copyright.PENANAA0FLf6W9Fd
"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.872Please respect copyright.PENANA9tuThHgI3G
"But how did you know 872Please respect copyright.PENANAYHuRz7IMY0
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 872Please respect copyright.PENANAil5pYC7bAp
photo you showed me never revealed his face."872Please respect copyright.PENANAADteVxEFKF
"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."872Please respect copyright.PENANAi0BakeJPDA
Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"872Please respect copyright.PENANA9F5GTLkUzH
"Well, ya," I said as I 872Please respect copyright.PENANAeJMrsnklxC
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 872Please respect copyright.PENANA1KZUBMybY6
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 872Please respect copyright.PENANAWQEx2G7lKL
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."872Please respect copyright.PENANARkDsSBsshw
Lee turned to the window872Please respect copyright.PENANAZWcmKd40uw
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like872Please respect copyright.PENANA60QJpz4g4y
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."872Please respect copyright.PENANAdy7bm5uwhr
"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."872Please respect copyright.PENANAFFB1ySI5kQ
"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."872Please respect copyright.PENANAEAHBBvHODR
"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."872Please respect copyright.PENANAy6LezjGebN
"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."872Please respect copyright.PENANABFSkH9CY49
"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.872Please respect copyright.PENANA9EH8mrHN9j
Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.872Please respect copyright.PENANAbm6Y6tIyb5
"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.872Please respect copyright.PENANAd8MLtlI7Ms
We made sure to keep a 872Please respect copyright.PENANA78DxpM4zJy
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 872Please respect copyright.PENANAiP0aYAQnDK
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 872Please respect copyright.PENANA22wwyiwkF0
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 872Please respect copyright.PENANAkxHcIP5ggX
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.872Please respect copyright.PENANAtrnO0Oy1Cv
They went down the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAqSzInPdCFX
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 872Please respect copyright.PENANAeqnb3bw4Rk
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 872Please respect copyright.PENANAKQFzqvhGzP
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.872Please respect copyright.PENANAoYyuJhmsBJ
They were led by a 872Please respect copyright.PENANAsYUlt8vxP5
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 872Please respect copyright.PENANAXQvGqCskSa
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 872Please respect copyright.PENANAky5b8Q6evE
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 872Please respect copyright.PENANA40yRPOeXhD
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAxF9IuhdvMF
restaurant.872Please respect copyright.PENANATSPsjVg7bX
"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.872Please respect copyright.PENANAziBxzMQZP8
"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.872Please respect copyright.PENANA26tV3xsoJH
"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."872Please respect copyright.PENANAdrRU5yjVxx
"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAmWG2QtijFj
"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."872Please respect copyright.PENANAZWjXVp2Qnc
"Me neither. But what to872Please respect copyright.PENANAN8S9bYTPhr
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 872Please respect copyright.PENANATVKuGNoWzA
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.872Please respect copyright.PENANA6PUQTyDc4p
I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.872Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ad99B9LsR
"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.872Please respect copyright.PENANA33uNZgwFr1
"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"872Please respect copyright.PENANABbsVsFJeti
My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAmQbIs39URm
"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."872Please respect copyright.PENANAm7dYX1qTkI
Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.872Please respect copyright.PENANAeI3bMp0L5m
"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAIayaqmgARQ
"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."872Please respect copyright.PENANAG00Apl61DK
"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.872Please respect copyright.PENANAbwAoJl5qUm
"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAb5DR7dm3sW
"Don't worry. Seungri 872Please respect copyright.PENANAR01S5S3J3Z
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 872Please respect copyright.PENANAeMmTvLn0Fj
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 872Please respect copyright.PENANA4y8O8OFFO5
and she will know something fishy is going on."872Please respect copyright.PENANA79JZCJn6Ea
"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."872Please respect copyright.PENANAgcS3lsZJQE
"I hope so too."872Please respect copyright.PENANAJo9bubGuuS
***872Please respect copyright.PENANAzbD2wiaarT
Zoey's P.O.V872Please respect copyright.PENANA2ASByqRe3n
I looked at the menu and872Please respect copyright.PENANAamHMDkme7L
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAZ41TSwnsiH
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the872Please respect copyright.PENANAexCd8mOfPg
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he872Please respect copyright.PENANAiffohcTpJb
looked up at me.872Please respect copyright.PENANAx6fwaJV3kl
"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.872Please respect copyright.PENANAfjb8MLV0Zn
"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.872Please respect copyright.PENANAIJbjG0f0hi
"Why?"872Please respect copyright.PENANA7fW582bucv
I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.872Please respect copyright.PENANAi3Vf69rfEd
"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."872Please respect copyright.PENANAtfCaV1b7NO
"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.872Please respect copyright.PENANAorIhGufnlU
I growled. "Stop that, will you?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAApwN8dc0IP
"What?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAYuJ5cwq2xY
"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."872Please respect copyright.PENANAYOoVMfGOg5
"I'll try not to next 872Please respect copyright.PENANAg4EFaLUCVV
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan872Please respect copyright.PENANA8AG8MFOtD6
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.872Please respect copyright.PENANAEPqp4rn9xD
"Now, are you going to tell me?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAR0Jn9wrfTz
"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."872Please respect copyright.PENANAuE39wOE6mW
"Not tell anyone."872Please respect copyright.PENANA9xaTQSutFV
Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."872Please respect copyright.PENANAxZjhW8ywAj
"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."872Please respect copyright.PENANAtuVEQYAAD1
"I smuggle diamonds."872Please respect copyright.PENANA5aLiBhF3Zy
My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.872Please respect copyright.PENANAD7vRsShybx
"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.872Please respect copyright.PENANAHG2THholfj
"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."872Please respect copyright.PENANAmjfikKHuLI
"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"872Please respect copyright.PENANA7XjvOnMdd0
"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."872Please respect copyright.PENANAt43wJaZcbe
The waiter came with our872Please respect copyright.PENANAnIFx7wvbli
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 872Please respect copyright.PENANAJeNi7U2Wec
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.872Please respect copyright.PENANAqP2KUDZKId
"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."872Please respect copyright.PENANAHwg4XcjPw9
"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."872Please respect copyright.PENANAt3QpJQg0JU
"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."872Please respect copyright.PENANAsFA04yPkgR
"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."872Please respect copyright.PENANApD4qKiqPj4
"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.872Please respect copyright.PENANAdN4HAq1EyA
"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.872Please respect copyright.PENANAHbM3Lb7oAu
"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."872Please respect copyright.PENANA2I6YcJzQhu
"Is that why you're so rich?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAm3olH5l6oZ
"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."872Please respect copyright.PENANAlXrlIzuBWk
"That's being greedy, don't you think?"872Please respect copyright.PENANA4UP1kYzOZZ
Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."872Please respect copyright.PENANAe8ZTOPSDV7
I gulped. He was giving 872Please respect copyright.PENANADGXoD79vfg
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would872Please respect copyright.PENANADyJZQmvDwL
manage to get out of this lunch, alive.872Please respect copyright.PENANA3X1avk4lcJ
***872Please respect copyright.PENANAo6cbikhRvK
Sam's P.O.V872Please respect copyright.PENANAByq3w6Pel9
I was waiting by the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAzbWNSueCzc
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 872Please respect copyright.PENANApgm5blvqpN
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 872Please respect copyright.PENANALJJvNOA2Sx
car? What was he doing here?872Please respect copyright.PENANAuq1q0PZ0UY
Seungri came out of the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAg0BOC5ob5x
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 872Please respect copyright.PENANAWQpYcAITSU
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 872Please respect copyright.PENANAsZNba0SNZk
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when872Please respect copyright.PENANABBdh27ZX38
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 872Please respect copyright.PENANA6oWpzZA8PX
what I was expecting.872Please respect copyright.PENANAfSXOUdLyBf
I trembled. What am I 872Please respect copyright.PENANALkFeaCodbZ
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 872Please respect copyright.PENANAYtuCZuWrVU
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 872Please respect copyright.PENANASPFDfRQdrS
give Mr Teddy away.872Please respect copyright.PENANAj7UuxZ4ie8
"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAZEc6wkAEBG
"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!872Please respect copyright.PENANAt066of0RzH
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."872Please respect copyright.PENANAl8aUzMiYTA
"I, no....I," I didn't 872Please respect copyright.PENANABmuCIp2zK9
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to872Please respect copyright.PENANAmhxW0JZxb3
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?872Please respect copyright.PENANAaNjbJTYsCA
"I was only expecting 872Please respect copyright.PENANAxil97q8UrU
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 872Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZNr1ZEBs3
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 872Please respect copyright.PENANAJmmQQTrVOk
seeing the two of them together.872Please respect copyright.PENANA2z0XVBdGrV
"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.872Please respect copyright.PENANAKCwN4S6BPf
"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.872Please respect copyright.PENANAuItcVJqL44
"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."872Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZsLbLfymQ
"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."872Please respect copyright.PENANA2BIETNmLhF
"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANAwqLkNrH1th
"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."872Please respect copyright.PENANAZS67BeXpa7
"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.872Please respect copyright.PENANAMkDAchY6r8
"Come with me," I said 872Please respect copyright.PENANAooAEEhQizo
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 872Please respect copyright.PENANALE9xn15Why
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 872Please respect copyright.PENANAkrDArebeig
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.872Please respect copyright.PENANAH3qN96rn4p
When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.872Please respect copyright.PENANAv8j0pYDY9Z
"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.872Please respect copyright.PENANAbAdv8QRNof
"Hi, guys. You're 872Please respect copyright.PENANAWCmTOZD98M
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 872Please respect copyright.PENANAa7fniFCvv1
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."872Please respect copyright.PENANAnLwk8ut8Sz
"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."872Please respect copyright.PENANAKXM9p3bSOQ
"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANAP0GVdPcJv7
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.872Please respect copyright.PENANAGqG5l6XG2K
"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAPNvnT5uDV1
The five BigBang members all nodded their heads.872Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jhrt17F1H
"Well, if you look into 872Please respect copyright.PENANAlkN547wB4G
that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 872Please respect copyright.PENANAbbTYr4ldH6
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."872Please respect copyright.PENANAFTIFaN6ATd
The five all turned to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAfgb5zrHiiV
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 872Please respect copyright.PENANAGVjN5VC214
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 872Please respect copyright.PENANAYWCmviW0ob
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.872Please respect copyright.PENANA3z99ZUvT4j
"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."872Please respect copyright.PENANA1mquoRneUk
Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"872Please respect copyright.PENANA4LTEfdqkoW
"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAe7ZDdtWb9h
"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."872Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ1XhoxFo1
"We were also wondering 872Please respect copyright.PENANACp66LndAPD
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 872Please respect copyright.PENANAnMETpFotb0
them, but decided that I would rather not."872Please respect copyright.PENANAjUXwMnAEPX
"Why?" Daesung asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANABQJyV71zee
"Well, Zoey seems to be 872Please respect copyright.PENANAGC6sjHlGfF
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 872Please respect copyright.PENANA3vnVS8MNSs
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 872Please respect copyright.PENANAfYOsCAsy0S
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."872Please respect copyright.PENANAWKkXjWvywq
"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.872Please respect copyright.PENANAivwwevABis
"Huh? Wait a minute," 872Please respect copyright.PENANAiSxO2aBPhj
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 872Please respect copyright.PENANAgKdrRrZ8Jg
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."872Please respect copyright.PENANAg44qEfs4Vx
"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAYiFNZlSAQP
"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."872Please respect copyright.PENANAsk24VPy2hD
Everyone turned to look 872Please respect copyright.PENANADaHehIyVGa
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 872Please respect copyright.PENANAGbCHowGk5g
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 872Please respect copyright.PENANAh9aaA7eXde
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.872Please respect copyright.PENANA2z6muuzyDo
"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.872Please respect copyright.PENANA7OPZ1FycQv
Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."872Please respect copyright.PENANAhwV4E8fd9i
"Here you're now 872Please respect copyright.PENANAyMDYHD6XXI
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 872Please respect copyright.PENANAjd2bO7Ddln
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.872Please respect copyright.PENANACjaWql5Cn5
"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.872Please respect copyright.PENANAYgMmvNShrj
"I'll talk with G-Dragon872Please respect copyright.PENANA0nQ4rNcmn0
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 872Please respect copyright.PENANAhS6IdUKfhW
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 872Please respect copyright.PENANA8YIFEeXjAg
something, quick.872Please respect copyright.PENANAaw7tE92FSx
"Okay, fine, we will 872Please respect copyright.PENANAzde5YB3joA
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 872Please respect copyright.PENANAHwzzMP1Yke
into the restaurant and meet the guy."872Please respect copyright.PENANAvL38secSJZ
Yes. Finally. I thought 872Please respect copyright.PENANAoQT3MLIzVB
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 872Please respect copyright.PENANAGnJGsWIpfU
everything was going to be delayed.872Please respect copyright.PENANA3g5I9lKpYn
"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."872Please respect copyright.PENANAzZX6sdu0dR
"We will wait out here," said Daesung.872Please respect copyright.PENANAZua5agJOCP
Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.872Please respect copyright.PENANA7CIafml43s
"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANAbMPkpqOVgp
As much as I wanted to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAR32r8Nj5mC
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 872Please respect copyright.PENANAF2oqt2Jzz0
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.872Please respect copyright.PENANAAFngJotEKM
***872Please respect copyright.PENANAHlAAu2UeqH
Zoey's P.O.V872Please respect copyright.PENANArBn8yFALaS
As much as I tried to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAxycMi3AMj1
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place872Please respect copyright.PENANAr3BcSaYOoH
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 872Please respect copyright.PENANAlrWNl68Osq
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAE1HB3H6ZEL
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.872Please respect copyright.PENANA00LC5TRxId
"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANAhIZIJee2C7
"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.872Please respect copyright.PENANA4bgBuPC7UG
"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.872Please respect copyright.PENANAt2Dz8ZUoh5
"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."872Please respect copyright.PENANAMPPkgdA7ZD
"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.872Please respect copyright.PENANAWECLKu3hzC
"What do you want me to 872Please respect copyright.PENANAZhQg5TQqUD
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 872Please respect copyright.PENANApLjKzzY9a3
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 872Please respect copyright.PENANAUV7sdEEWsF
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."872Please respect copyright.PENANADSZD2nhKkY
"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."872Please respect copyright.PENANADawkfVrYxq
"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."872Please respect copyright.PENANADp0Km4wtaD
Jehan shook his head and872Please respect copyright.PENANA4jO7aCMH66
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how872Please respect copyright.PENANAUGFSnn9Kjp
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 872Please respect copyright.PENANAM7aLCP24vB
annoying."872Please respect copyright.PENANApoJOKxpywp
"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."872Please respect copyright.PENANAz2OVzc5dwg
"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"872Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ra7EQJ9Ly
"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."872Please respect copyright.PENANADLlLmjkXXx
"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.872Please respect copyright.PENANAhXebjgeXTm
"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."872Please respect copyright.PENANANh750wCbsR
Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"872Please respect copyright.PENANA6fTZnhOUcf
"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."872Please respect copyright.PENANA5rbGKKHD1Q
Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"872Please respect copyright.PENANATQT0mCrdjZ
"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."872Please respect copyright.PENANA003opCehY2
Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.872Please respect copyright.PENANAMqMbPloXRL
"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.872Please respect copyright.PENANAWu8uFJrZ6p
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.872Please respect copyright.PENANA7cXzJuC5t1
"Yes, for real."872Please respect copyright.PENANAPhPDVrhdDY
"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"872Please respect copyright.PENANANUGojOd67T
"Yes. Maybe we will meet872Please respect copyright.PENANAYO9PSFi0IU
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that872Please respect copyright.PENANARlw4UYrgu7
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."872Please respect copyright.PENANAll3xuSQoec
"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"872Please respect copyright.PENANA2mOnDDIL9F
"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."872Please respect copyright.PENANAQlHfSM7n2P
"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.872Please respect copyright.PENANATo2gn05pYI
"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.872Please respect copyright.PENANAnkAzkWI2sE
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.872Please respect copyright.PENANAD6bseBxLCE
Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.872Please respect copyright.PENANA39tsLi5nSd
"Zoey, hey!"872Please respect copyright.PENANAscIWN5j23L
Seungri? I quickly 872Please respect copyright.PENANAM7xhAoYNUR
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 872Please respect copyright.PENANA0ocgBnR13u
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 872Please respect copyright.PENANAh6qllZrVs1
here?872Please respect copyright.PENANAu1yknOaMqY
They came over to our 872Please respect copyright.PENANASOFkVWa8H6
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 872Please respect copyright.PENANAKTYaSNddF1
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim872Please respect copyright.PENANAu2XmfXOvnL
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 872Please respect copyright.PENANAxWb7bAu1lP
to do now?872Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZWXLg0qsF
"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAcaFnvxHCjX
"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."872Please respect copyright.PENANAg4H3NFrrYk
"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAnp9aQs7cDS
"Jehan."872Please respect copyright.PENANAwzwv4LSPZA
"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."872Please respect copyright.PENANAvvJZj1S9gE
"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."872Please respect copyright.PENANAi5V7gQRdNp
"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"872Please respect copyright.PENANAWU5mPRnkaF
"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."872Please respect copyright.PENANAmQtfH7n1K4
"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.872Please respect copyright.PENANA7X6w0Mq5Lz
"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.872Please respect copyright.PENANAd0Grd28aLC
"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANA5qAMWX7xeK
I almost spit out the 872Please respect copyright.PENANAaWvzWFEpv7
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 872Please respect copyright.PENANAfP5ttGVPIf
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 872Please respect copyright.PENANAcTNsCwwMYK
to water.872Please respect copyright.PENANA25guWAxUPB
"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.872Please respect copyright.PENANApSqP2kYkpf
"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?872Please respect copyright.PENANAAxAV2DaaMh
"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.872Please respect copyright.PENANAnPQbEYsQRJ
Jehan looked at me and I872Please respect copyright.PENANAkKwvnvaFGL
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 872Please respect copyright.PENANAS59mdy2x7T
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.872Please respect copyright.PENANAp33xRg3acy
"May I ask what you're 872Please respect copyright.PENANA8OBEmG0WHX
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 872Please respect copyright.PENANAZuABtvACpQ
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.872Please respect copyright.PENANAFjBpGYYuIC
"Oh, we just came here 872Please respect copyright.PENANAsGC9uYQXLy
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 872Please respect copyright.PENANALuCUIa20yO
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."872Please respect copyright.PENANAWHGcnJXoOH
"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."872Please respect copyright.PENANAkqsKTmvyLi
"No, you didn't," said Jehan.872Please respect copyright.PENANAXIUlhtS71D
Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.872Please respect copyright.PENANAM357xhNaAg
"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."872Please respect copyright.PENANAfafuRbHGuX
"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."872Please respect copyright.PENANAe0b5MCpfbV
"Yes, we will," said 872Please respect copyright.PENANATtmqWrw5SV
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the872Please respect copyright.PENANAtGjuKuqltq
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.872Please respect copyright.PENANACHcWvJqtpZ
"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."872Please respect copyright.PENANAR7Zlj7M2LE
"You too," said Seungri.872Please respect copyright.PENANAR5ZCs6Ng4k
Jehan gave a small smile872Please respect copyright.PENANAw8vBzdinv6
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 872Please respect copyright.PENANAFHE3n4DII2
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the872Please respect copyright.PENANAmo0ZuvDGMt
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?872Please respect copyright.PENANA5j6XpYfn9J
"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."872Please respect copyright.PENANAgzHCbdlEok
"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.872Please respect copyright.PENANAqL0r1VlABG
"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.872Please respect copyright.PENANA8zXMxNjbK0
"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.872Please respect copyright.PENANAVH5Dfs9Y0Q
I wondered how I was 872Please respect copyright.PENANAxKHRhHU4U6
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 872Please respect copyright.PENANALyTYmfGRdP
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 872Please respect copyright.PENANAGAEGeCvl0D
head until I give the teddy bear away.872Please respect copyright.PENANAkvwFIoFOow
This was just great!
