Stuck In A K-Pop World: Hitting With A Big Bang (A Black Kitty Series, Book 1) - Chapter 21: At The Mall

Sunday was quiet and 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zg3qw2WYT
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lo4HSBC8q
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCOGaRq6Q5
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9t7uJCYgY
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlSMeaQF0J

Last night, Zoey moved 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvBomItnHS
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsHtEOB6LN
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3OLlgA0N1
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajYxNAkv08
talk to her either.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCDk5igxK0

And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSavymIcc0V

It so happened that 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ19AWGPyNl
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgeYfmaVMl
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8JvfsC44u
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49cMi7Macx
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bFMGzy89k
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEPEnL4LXY

Now, I was sitting 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcy5EXBxam
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2etUPtJYt
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL9u0wgS2A
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRuzAKApCy
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEM3YQeQbM

I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl5hvzpPRk

"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhVEEoZx0m

"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrN7Bfcll6

"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?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Os49d40Ok

"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVnAd06mOs

"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtjV8m2AVB

"Lee!" I whined, putting1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AaOYamFCE
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSh6jXayoX
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u0vVKqUIi

"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpOgBnfw9U

"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbahECcVpj

"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkgFt62NEp

"Why? I want to stay here."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkEWcGRrI3

"I need to go and shop 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc6HP3DnUR
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68rwYPPklE
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAfqDHZOsS

"But watching YouTube 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4lBaZRZMA
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRDNHLRawF
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gXDzJdCP5

Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfuPj6DdCd

"I think Lee is right, 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKtUpDAgSR
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP5qrWRK5T
out on Sundays like you do back home."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzTDARyUbV

"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCH2kYHu8i

"I know you're a fan of 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn1xxHKwWT
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Msf9m5xM
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtJFZscj04

"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFIoOwq0Bz

"Well, that's what 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfBIBxm4uM
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXFd62qbHy
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemoxmbFtzc

"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH1cb7Adqs

"That's what we are 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuJrjHRdvA
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLw91fd1Cp
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sCQ7kS0S4
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSgYaFX3Tb

Daniel's right. I had to1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyrC7R4zi4
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj7tRod6cf
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eUUV4kIsL
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XKa3XVB8q

Unlike the others, Lee 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuZKB7Vl5h
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumiTk89WWd
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGGliJIf8e
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrRnC7J6Kh
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbZ5Lwvvb2
and Zoey together.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4S20vru8X

I really wanted to tell 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAzee7AGuV
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRIcr5rDte
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESZpwrf48s
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ44rMK8c5M
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MZdB4JZyo
When was I ever going to change?1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXRdIyyxjY

"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSvxFBHEA7

"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg9OjlOb3E

"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAuSWHHydc

"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVn46rl8LC

"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDFE8LUWp8

Lee, Mike and Daniel 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduD4FJ5Diu
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmfGoStEkY
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY6bWG2jgh
my room to get my shoes.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2VH4qCdbh

After I wore my white 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXDLSkEmq2
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwLeXjicCa
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb8e1SCat8
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2w8d3uTQO
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BG3XNM6vJ
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Y7kAFzSF

"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SxPg9YuwG

"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd21JwIrll

I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphEs6zN9ns

I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS6uGEGJq5

"We can go, now," I told her.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYkzk7fnFH

"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqOL1mD6FR

"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3WOLBNjDq

"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61CczVw5pj

I smiled back at him. 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUyNIJv0R5
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqxFeudOKx
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqGoxA00DG
guards in the other SUV.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2kyoZb7XH

"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoJcuurpLz

"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfwkksEH8S

"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7Q5j5fdC9

The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBoKOCEZUP

"So, where are we going?" I asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5idaZVqoY

"To the mall," Lee answered.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RSGUXFIPh

"How will the mall help me figure things out?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbDCDtYpIn

"What's wrong with the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JYb28BxCE
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c8LR5Ntcv
best plans just come out of the blue."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPBLXEiAXR

"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a3eC2UafQ

"And waste the day away? No way."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67qAFM58fA

"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkxK5Qd86u

"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LmFWvaOvd

"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgdghFTBMZ

"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WH981abUt

"No. Zoey might have 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtfzDNSEWR
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSUiK2j6u6
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRk3rWRm8v
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NNPrLWLgF

"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rB9pYrsQr

"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4TFS4eQlm

"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtYKVUzEpF

"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEaNsj22W7

Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8GTv8laQc

"I don't know what to do1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqUWlzXXMz
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCiljV5VTQ
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhiVXagB2I
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11AX6tv0YX
somehow."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2xGfZ350s

"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUDr6x5QWE

"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1wUUA3NT2

"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyTpN16UiI

I folded my arms as I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU7CSVh3Ub
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhw1AHU5Fj
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOP3iYOGC7
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnfjerVzGU
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrGUlDiRb9

We soon reached the mall1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRWLUvqexw
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEFi1oXBIJ
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf0bIhe5Ul
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCthTqd2iL6
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUAI26YSsZ
the bodyguards were around.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23HFryPN3x

Lee and I first went 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuizclN8ZBU
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBgI90sctK
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7FIXdtsJK
a while. I was having fun.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavr4WaugER

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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5n3MjF9CP

Lee and I soon came out 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxcZHM90eB
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYADnHw5TO6
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzDp2KmYJc
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSCjUAVMuj
our bags because we bought way too much.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZvNQc3puq

When we walked out of 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCtBjqRjiF
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPuxUTjBch
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayHX4zFxQb
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm0AEQJnby
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqOzAXTRYm

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDUE4db536

I couldn't answer Lee. I1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAqlOJe4Ki
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2z7zyYlqi
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg6n4jY4vI

"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gr4nAkFfB

"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuOGl3UKi3

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMgPXDfShb

"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooHpeOZlS8

"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl8ibgkdwA

"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtKgHtmHVI

"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PCigU1fkG

"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctWCSEVmK8

I looked at each and 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdgUHswy8L
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIIzWxZwF2
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3V2t1xnEI

"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL9WjeRDUf

"What?" Lee looked 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgcTDADfV4
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneAF7fpasa
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMznJ0LQQm
panda."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHa2KXJ6wJ

"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrOF9n8TZa

"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme395wOagU

"Derrick's brother sent 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcetM76Tew
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4ITBq2wrT
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93ZFjqi6Hr
bear."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbSLYNpT0i

"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45PKt8itye

"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5VDd4gNGV

"I don't get it though."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3wrf7qjJc
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNrSAAYSM7
so concerned about that small teddy?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw0mCoJCI1

"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EfkAqvNLd

***1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM67xO8cK9N

Zoey's P.O.V1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZjI6ESpHD

"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY1NE5Phbj

"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53fAGAJ0nt

"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcsWlQuXzN

"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowzVrY8M5W

"How am I treating her unfairly?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcHAlVhTva

"You moved out of the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0rgdp23bV
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N3k88Lsqi
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TWEw9Fjvm
of alien or something."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpa439RL1o

I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbYNy3gEt8

In a quick flash, a 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipJSgWKjG3
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsnuRcOUYs
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jy3UZyvl2

"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWukMWEV4MV

"Do you want more of 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK45p14jYI
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDK2ZKsZFi
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4daQ9dSG1

"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38dy7lg3gh

"You got that right." 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDPnOdKpzI
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalHEWtqZRo
ignore her like you're doing forever."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtSsBTbwq0

"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnElJKIRkL

"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."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh8iQIgzQ3

"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97VQfKpRFl

Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyFv6oDFmo

"It's normal for someone1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdqBtfY4qi
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgJtZ6XQ6a
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgROinnRLIB
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1vqtRwoTG
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFsEXUkwJE
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthKyunAflE

I always hated such kind1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rjJ6mAjb2
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP5NuVJEHq
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvM5kdAw00
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NYnoSIauD
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28bKghqIK2
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjEU6ijab2
nothing.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI8MD2pCuo

I've never told anyone 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl9X7E8Mmy
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1zciFJI5k
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf59tCWml9Z
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCArZhZQe8N
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGMgVdYcgT
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9a7asI4Sp
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MmWZXmkj9

I am Yin and she is 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOovBqQx28
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHkTtx9ufK
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX3OkiwdFy
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx4ozgYjRw
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15SyfnlHJA

And now when I needed 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf72XOLe5T
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZjOWCQV73
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZSL2XyIfC
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQUdb2j4Mk
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTpnL551YO
serious situation with a very dangerous person.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTQe13ENZv

It all begun when I went1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZpjfj2Co5
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI7OjOn1Zk
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gWdezlMKw
this mess.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnxucak0Pi

We were having so much 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprrY5H8ETX
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsgoqEpJr9
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0EIjDeup1
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34gIGV7HiM
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yMJW8tGIG
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LZ5eBzPnu
things did go wrong.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGWwrthCVj

As we were watching the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNxetSxwq5
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBRuijE9W9
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOagZYVmEO
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNON9t2goDi

When I looked at him, he1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIGzhdqd1k
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nO2PtS3wZ
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos078CDrZt
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgrntaI2bU
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41Rw9JeFu2
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1R1OQ6f9i

After the show when 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUfNevFV6v
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TJX2xSaXH
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43sPQd6Dmw
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t5asyewwf
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PUiVindqZ
take a few minutes.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhO60avt7i

I didn't find anything 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfApEhmXkRb
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIU70A2Tq4
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkx9adoF0c
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10iPPdUimR
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr6asFzIff
too much.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT6btRPcRs

Jehan led the way out 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIih3gOcG0f
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSbNU4Ml83
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmyLo7QcKA
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LsLmYBVsQ
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QkvxLdVIC
that I felt a little safe.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKk4rPUekb

The two of us soon found1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGy5ogondW
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSIdjoW0w4
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OgfoSJG2L
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZzsb03Ctu
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiVg1CLTTv
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS3uYwNWbp
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcE3fqYzqV
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMA3asd0p5
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY17m1A4Ye5
menacing.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58LPWcxIp8

He gave me something for1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAWsgc7raQ
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDYVicho4H
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAw6d0K8rr
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGdJDSMIaT
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVezVHBKcu
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbe4F4GTlT
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxVJcvrTir

Whatever he sent me that1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89RZ9tnScC
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMukjb176Go
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCogIVRzs4
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvKkgmx1Pi
happened yesterday.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RES2oKVqJ

I had never been in this1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek4pudPCKO
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdFEarzzP5
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zjSKd4OAL
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAMD557lbv
crying out loud. I had to do something.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYelxskt6Bd

My phone rang bringing 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaAwWLjkuP
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0E93O2OzF
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3IwjNseYu
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8Po0YnC5m

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwGKDVOQWw

"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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qG1zFV9da

"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUCqab4koi

"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbe5ETMu7a

I would have told him to1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL83C738RG2
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FOoZDSgrs
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvgCQIq4z6

"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pb07c8iRG

"Looks like you aren't 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMEPuhh6iK
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoEFk7NZc4
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw676N0btX

"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCjCUn5oom

"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKAz3jrNNq

"Just get to the point, 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglCb0uINVk
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDiwh1r5o6
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGDmKb4Ibg

"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXSmM4pxXO

"Today? Are you serious?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTwkZwNtQz

"You know that I am. We meet today."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXqLkWGTjv

"But where?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMSFZuuTBi

"At the mall."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8blTALCyaz

For a moment I almost 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRAqlpcmhx
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MOBYttWWZ
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXRG1ZNwdy
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbUqXORN7b
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9v6YtB6l7

"What's so funny?" Jehan1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD4bd4LJAV
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKlKbzqPi2
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC1J1lxdZL
myself.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9ELPT91JP

"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX5tWPhZJ8

"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtyxvqzkQI

If he thought saying 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhypPfXsESH
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5VJ1p55nK
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiAHUuxZUl

"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz2SijfMRg

"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHyJZpoQYV

"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpIfGkadYc

"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqALZMDUN3

"Ya, sure."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CrBUFgata

Jehan didn't say 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Kh1PaNNs
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmhpoKWDpS
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyqRM97WxQ
Typical.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K7Fx0wgzd

"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftCLGGVrpP

"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."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl90oSZM0r

"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArMWR9N2gx

"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY280oVwij5

"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8UaVWCANj

"Why? You think I would?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI89PVyFS0

"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaoXuEgfA9

"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuFL9CuZqV

"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W5BfP1Drm

"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O1NZnZTtk

"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4Hk8TJIgb

"That one. Where is it?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspvsL9UrIO

"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxe48aDCVr5

"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."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN6fdqxjJq

Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL7fA4DNl1

"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQD4Iw4zNo

"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqvgOl104g

"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy76bL6QLE2

Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH73CMtivzm

I quietly went over to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCGEDnr6jl
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwywbjEX0np
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCBmpxX6ew
soon.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYNZ5SPAT1

I came to the drawer 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSuR6Bg2HL
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByLpoeYev3
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPARPTFmFFY

I looked at her bed and 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JYzNQUVyx
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKSalYNLcH
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUWzXeoFQb

"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."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorLEss7NaO

I heard the tap in the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tr0eV9cDA
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxJWFkswxV
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz4WR8Q3Lj
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccCzvfFxtw
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBYozfxaMJ

***1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3QTXvRNNY

Sam's P.O.V1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQd0elbQJ2

"Do you really think 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY7ddCAqhl
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lx32UDH42
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSGS9bv5P9

"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy5qxQ9Reo

"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnWjLUYSma

"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmE9e4LmDxH

"I hope it's not drugs."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7olSTPDca

"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDi1ODUk5E

"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyvVoXScXz

"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaaDZdIJw0

"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQUbLetZUa

"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz3pLTER1k

"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AVJtaDaS0

"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnU9zTxbzN

"She did a pretty good job on that one."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDnHcs36sh

"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v5hJi7KFh

"Zoey."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEJrGXyjEY

"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDb1MKMvwr
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwcgDaICoh
they couldn't because of our little fight."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBkvfOBwNn

"Mmm." Lee took a fry 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sFJMn3HOy
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlToaQdQ9Lf
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDo0hdzIEj

I raised an eyebrow at 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmjezMja0T
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iUcte4KAB
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQDDLiziFU

"Shoot!" I said loudly 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rbiAG8QJX
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCAj39781C
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSiOjDRnOA
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk8xTnktlb

"About what?" Lee asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWihv4YXag

"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbR0gIoPPz

"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LNRV53buG

"But today might be the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu30j86Kqe7
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6nCg8qUbY
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13VYrnU18p

"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N88oRE2EG

My heart rate quickened 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7u3ebw5SO
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCsPSxOJhQ
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBoPo18Byj

"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4YRxugGqZ

"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDAR5RmYVZ

"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBPRg3gGbU

"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7VXzQRDH4

"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsNbLs967z

Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0eVDXWvFw

"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUh5RH1xSX

There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxh5ehvvjP

"Alright, thanks, 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQIrw3ge8I
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RFNSqrsb3
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxao3zEKNp
Seungri."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhIloT2rC5

I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvHjXBpg67

"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGLPXtZntw

"Did Christine say where she had gone?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAV7GlPIrb

"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGii6hOyAt

I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsayz1Ji3oR

"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSN3YwNOsu

"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz2AORZsOC

"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TiyGNCwE7

"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjhVPpi1ym

"Yes, I am." I could 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkaiwIRmIu
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw7QIJK09X
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPM9ryRpiz
perhaps?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwqXSHQ8H2

I rolled my eyes and as 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsIfKVDhDc
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzKICz71Oe
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFo7mddN4N
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaJdFwHVIs

"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLjmdcDtVo

"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRIjqdMcoS

I bit my lower lip and 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrtVzrc3rv
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQfASr26Sh
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY8T6yELoU

"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp6NdyqVR2

"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY1QtkQPrx

"I'm at the mall with Lee."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0BV8mTcn4

"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG60lYDN7b

"Bye."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlOvnpGOOW

"Bye, my little kitty."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDRAx2b8Cd

"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOYhFjh0qB

"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJGVc0mCQT

"So, he isn't with Zoey?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzox8oSJMa

"Nope. And he isn't 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOyQd0vurB
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HbOViHouy
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOTCcb7s7U

"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."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXnCgL4q5V

"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T9lV61Bhs

"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblKaljQuQ2

I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKLGkFepMg

Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKOC03w5G9

"Tell me about it." I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FFJ04zwKT
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oD89zd8g5
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgwA6xkSIf

"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnsJYv0PS8

I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSzAIaJ3wD

After we were done with 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQgKLQCT4Q
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9q5KqBo5D
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v44An5Bdb

As soon as we walked out1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz55MiOq5A
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO1FIJCQvK
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mzVDdRs3z
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IAkq98ocm
looking black suit stepped out.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfIunuVOW7

Time seemed to have 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrBXwAmStx
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof17x5DMXt
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgHfFN98Gv
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTLx7oy9nJ
something familiar about him.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdpoanNvNM

Just as I was about to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmAiTS3JAl
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRGGmLUQDm
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPp1Km7ZeA

I almost tripped and 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA1h0XoFZ1
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLeF0QKjGF
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsxpxmYore
me from falling.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDznGtSNyjF

"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5Ov7Jk1RR

I didn't say a word as I1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qvtJrYNRi
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLtPypfOIx
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl96KUCkr2m

"We need to go back, Lee," I said.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HxyzCDiZ6

"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWpqTvvole

"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yiiuJQN7l

"May I please know what's going on with you?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3XqCRBBBR

"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02g3IE1zUG

Narrator's P.O.V1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd1601Hp1j

Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKk9naoiyl

"Hey guys, am here," 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlEd9z1FTv
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvQ47wS5FB
look downcast as though someone's just died."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb3zAmUwfT

"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMPqhaGjh2

"This is getting real 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVwFEPnHkI
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUKUBOyf2t
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHp4JL7rMO
her or with anyone of you."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypwvvsQMsu

"No, I think now is the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjiEr0nPlh
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX6IB41oj2
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRgwYcKwCI

"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGIqM0dCKs

"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0REDUch4M

"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvNTK8p5YV

"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqJuNfTnBP

"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9xTDwZgKh

"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLJTTuF7fr

"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMETeTVXdc

The others rolled their 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS3Ky5Dklz
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3SynXneox
around and now wasn't the time for it.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWq90w0yvw

"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB6AgRN75k

"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r7MX3jxVy

G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGIHI3OeQX

"Well, maybe," said 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiptqdLUNBD
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz7NFHyO9m
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCpmWXLzyj
she told me to break things up with Zoey."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdIo8lXOf3

"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDaFk7ESHM

"When I saw Daesung and 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy45zqPIH54
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJsivuVkpc
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AltP2xz57

"And you still are," said Taeyang.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRUrgoCBwc

G-Dragon didn't answer 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YIqY86JMr
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIbvljXsaX
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i4vYEdfTL

"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."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ar0VVytvZ

"What do you mean?" 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6RshXluFU
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwc8IBtrUw
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8dX2Kw5UP

"She was just doing that1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO79AkCROX
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTaRh3EgfZ
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaJiM0B48z
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I4RhvELDR
be together."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFkqsLe11r

"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E9BYOKFhK

"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB6VVn1pCi

All the four BigBang 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPR386mZ1R
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67x1JDG6Mh
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG6y9WwcjG
heard him come in.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HJo4rm9Ij

"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShWSIUjuDu

"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBHPvyGsH6

"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zTMWW7bzI

"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FEJHd9unB

"I'm not going to stay 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVtI7FRFpR
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8EF79MWfJ
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcWkqUalnS

"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnTu6N2K52

"No, I don't."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEPPNtvt6I

Before G-Dragon could 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dhuSr2o6d
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduypDqYfRy
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoa02pRavQ

"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0tOeCFF0r

"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR45W7YSBDl

"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnfa3TRZqo

G-Dragon folded his arms1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFrXy2fJqx
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ588xbLPE2k
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZGCPL2BaX
stared at the ceiling.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2qL1pxOYA

"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ECablVzdW

Daesung came into the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycNcrRHrhA
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnVru7t55j
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58nvL4V2M2

"Look, I know you're 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy7jTC0Og0
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xd6B9i2DQ
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFPGT8J1mg
never told me anything either."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmWNsckVf1

"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmh5MCRWdh

"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ5sMHsC20

"Why?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmChsE9prz

"She just felt like it 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqnrxN0d7T
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV75YBmwpr
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsS8J8SXZz
long distance relationships will ever work out."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsQ3mYJE6s

"Then, why did you kiss her?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA1e05jLDp

"Because I know I'll 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1qSXLLyRb
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGdkMVAiON
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksu4503UtO
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvKjz4puJi
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcnd9AmVBE
want to hurt anyone either.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z0a9l4Ey9

"Maybe that's why she 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczahJ0Cz48
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C26hige03
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GQ6ynLI3t
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEppfG0xtI0

"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN0Zp2SkUd

"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ681dEKPh48

"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnGSgnvw74

"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGobbtq0WG

"I know."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXQ3qEEBdx

"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4nBXLl3ap

"I'll think about it."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfsc5WuAcR

"No, no, no!" Seungri 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY2yvpGyOv
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f5j1MFEC6
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1qK89lQsQ
the mall."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYr34TmSCH

Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7uQxCKyzJ

"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq18LFseZLX

"Ya," said Seungri, 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy75tay9pt
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2pD3iIgss
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2QciOpS1r

"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."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXODx5zoZ4F

"There is no time to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSMoE1C1An
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSUuTAZCPQ
this to Sam. It's not right at all."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGrOuffwI6

"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9UJp0TxhO

"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3RR5KyQ6d

"We're your best 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WZ4RT7s9J
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIImuZNvssL
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyVdM4zwW6

"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AaPc7jOhW

Zoey's P.O.V1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvd41PL3hc

I came out of the black 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa817FvOZyl
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZYpKF7fMv
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoIT4NkLGQ
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeEjEqwzeA
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXrotA8izl
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrWyLdVK8b
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8J8IiVzGD
by my fans.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL1yiVEVms

I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8MrJr8vPj

"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgLIlGnx7E

"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWj4q7WhUa

"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr0rGksEf6

"Okay."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiruvyO5VO

"Did you bring what I asked for?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXNXjfVcMC

I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMide4W9QT

"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOhp2ZYUgt

"Well, I'm glad you 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOifmaX0E1G
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYEQyXLMwD
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpbwGd6exU
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZCGhmzLeE
lot smarter than you think."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1haywgjqUz

"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszeMMqrgkD

"Mr Grumpy is such a 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6wNojGiNn
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1oDfgjJ5U
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHhrubuxQ6

When I went into the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtYRKjp4NT
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjqKxvH4gc
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvubgkJiR52

I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXiocCnZwv

"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL31AFiXIu0

"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXVRBrzb71

I shivered. Despite his 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uIULBEw88
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYqQyASmdd
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1eVGe5raC
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBvcXb7eJR
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24oUqbKz4B

"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0TwHoh808

"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHbc9Ivf2l

"Why do you need to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkquzXrCNHt
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYWShfu65e
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedWOKEvjJX

"Well, I need to know 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2XuKpY8dL
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR728e5L9d
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAmYClDQOu

"And tell me, why should1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk3PSye6nx
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmdIzp6C2P
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO9CjuJ9Kh
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqwpKQ5edT
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKxsg2DN7T

"I...eh..." I looked him1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5e2ri4da4
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AFzmle0zA
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsMPupFnfM
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfAXsfsj9e
the kind who would send such a thing."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWx6AmXBfw

"Oh, really?" Jehan 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDs32M0WrU
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5cykSp62C
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3i20AklmU

"I don't know." I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dNglY6Xvd
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3BdsQqjRY
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5czPg8UbJI
up to?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG0NFp2ndh

Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlPH6NjROB

"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc7MpKKo3j

"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvRKVhhrVW

"What's the matter with that?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCVxtaZLX5

"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHvYb7bOlU

"Don't test my patience,1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk2ozdK0m2
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzX9a0knhA
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjaeNop0MZ
think you deserve to you know."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDGSTvcivu

"Well, yes, I do."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXuv29SgYS

Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2Oc48gzO2

***1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAsyIs6h1Y

Sam's P.O.V1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqWb8WMDoN

I could see Zoey from 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIStot3mSA
across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OI7GIDYRN
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELT3dPIU3J
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdz8eLNGdP
direction also pretending to be looking at clothes.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw0OYXy4iH

I was entirely grateful 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa1UQf8xrG
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9AVGEWvFV
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CEu8eej3X
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRiOg2pTxd
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQQlj07UbA
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTzN0BzVso
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamRLMnLISd

"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBayh1GabNs

"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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYVftGWzEe

"But how did you know 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmCEFt8nHv
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9req0as0q
photo you showed me never revealed his face."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X4zp3t9lo

"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNrSbH5q0B

Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiUlTSRL9A

"Well, ya," I said as I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAPwkQXWx7
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN3j5flOXL
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs3cW6Cmgl
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrpV3nBOPh

Lee turned to the window1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6Z9pTwsvM
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxPoHdiDKi
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UFIw7MZvZ

"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp35dFchjlp

"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktuyG7fzTR

"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72fgGxFuaO

"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXexRsWiTN6

"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAc6SutCB7

Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VYh125oLV

"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1AyjCWZMq

We made sure to keep a 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRNbOmhmqu
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5WRmckhZa
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nXps9oNwB
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWZRvZZ1Ri
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS4XhMOM5Q

They went down the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3O7kdSZu2
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIQUDDQv2z
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLNNtEokDA
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCeUJVas4A

They were led by a 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcwcvUvaHx
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gTOyQieSJ
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANcEYECgYE
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6xYdNiYXY
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ4YrCXVZq
restaurant.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h3mpnlLNt

"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6v5b48cG0

"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6IN2ccy20

"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP3wniXCBe

"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8ic3eXSJ9

"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflhXuhyuy7

"Me neither. But what to1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS27kXUo4L
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlXK2il0pd
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxsxHgOF0n

I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqcW06M2aK

"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFH1YelFvM

"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjen2gA8Fz

My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJFB3DQsJZ

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuoKqpjvDd

Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuI337kPRT

"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo48IiZtWo7

"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt7t9bMmql

"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FBjeEkXUe

"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwRU2N5wtE

"Don't worry. Seungri 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp6xAFWghR
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MtkzyvoTA
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIwO6er6sN
and she will know something fishy is going on."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKyjt7N0vm

"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLFnxAgPFq

"I hope so too."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qaOyQpx78

Zoey's P.O.V1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntxVPmUCCh

I looked at the menu and1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cTi1mBPxw
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0cnLM69Ta
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mG55lkTtJ
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnVIuIrxjl
looked up at me.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLeKZKcbpl

"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pgzMBK3QZ

"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsW6Hp6Yro

"Why?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMIFjbNCWr

I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviYQwP4aXD

"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmyRhhL0pu

"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoimKF2zgn

I growled. "Stop that, will you?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrIVemP1tk

"What?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wZGgujO2a

"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GNHcp3J61

"I'll try not to next 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI5Ps6dpzq
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp5dxHGoBR
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8d1CHhTNE

"Now, are you going to tell me?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGY6JDqCYl

"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qHAZx9fY5

"Not tell anyone."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLJIsjhH3i

Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizOvxSxvz3

"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkpYNARF96

"I smuggle diamonds."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtWISaSAFW

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiacXtqdl4a

"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNFa8KvudO

"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF1DoabPg0

"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygyejn7E32

"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AoTmR6Jyn

The waiter came with our1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfNQbVcb5G
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaYoePJYE4
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGbqoEYPKc

"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PGnSuUsOw

"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1wYqTM3qG

"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRpVh4MJjQ

"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2xAQRV9CY

"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW52SeTSQ1U

"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y0Uihc9hc

"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqxgrkZCU0

"Is that why you're so rich?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0mqohbeRv

"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbblzja5bmX

"That's being greedy, don't you think?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD4Hr5uxqd

Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry6RPVNECy

I gulped. He was giving 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhcJVZ6Yh5
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzqqDd252q

I was waiting by the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqOsUkT3vF
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15wXGeE517
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN5GhJAJei
car? What was he doing here?1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0MDOiinnj

Seungri came out of the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9CarA5lRm
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatjvYX7TCm
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUM7ADinRz
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz6uQV3nni
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovBAJx4diO
what I was expecting.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCKtqgjLp5

I trembled. What am I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6nw12xoLB
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldJ4wapBEO
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Eyo4zp6k2
give Mr Teddy away.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQz17jdVj2

"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ArcZcjeJw

"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOyGp1rBZu

"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY75TAh3so

"I, no....I," I didn't 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O7SByhyit
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLNeujyBUr
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6M8WpKtnO

"I was only expecting 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AwcmKZVJC
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q2Paw8Vs9
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTlSIPm5pJ
seeing the two of them together.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpztQ2iFxgN

"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNfO443O6C

"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4E6qhaO4U

"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAH5Q0528Y

"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMk6BFHXhk

"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLxwuLjPLS

"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN5R7MofDS

"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL3pCf81vK

"Come with me," I said 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSewrsKLxz
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcUPJXTYlP
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gPtlLppRm
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh2zu7fzze

When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbkSIdN71w

"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk3zHAIkMb

"Hi, guys. You're 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDStMRJcn4
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHWpWBNU6z
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj0nHYBaUH

"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX74yaZMvdD

"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE49UUS8oQ

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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHandnDnlZ

"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakwfoV5Dft

The five all turned to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF3N9tUHhp
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnRdmoLSSr
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxEPuMmr3x
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEYk2A9YO9

"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpxcso2EEP

Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNKRSyPWTU

"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhArxOSynD0

"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."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rO6EZm5rY

"We were also wondering 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cfdhmKTD7
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZN3Nce6nU
them, but decided that I would rather not."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ9Np6HPsV

"Why?" Daesung asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8Z5Ypgl7M

"Well, Zoey seems to be 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDWu8G0KqJ
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BzpumRQAj
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgsdj9YvvI
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1mqjxYrA6

"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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvq55do2KK

"Huh? Wait a minute," 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1Dvq3upX4
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYRjlrj4G5
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iHE7LigrQ

"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr7vH8dPGy

"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR31rC2bY2U

Everyone turned to look 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSjaTA6gCt
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSRnNsdOY7
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNYfa2Bz9S
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe72ZbsTvNP

"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXauXZbcpb

Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkZ7m0U1QA

"Here you're now 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LztE2pXAQ
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WQr9rzvX4
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXNO5Zfmhx

"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESDsVHP5iP

"I'll talk with G-Dragon1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdntd7XJX8V
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVUcK5sfMt
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGfnhCPzxj
something, quick.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwbVCAE7CI

"Okay, fine, we will 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfirMmCMndb
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lv20df3Cz
into the restaurant and meet the guy."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfROVmQPV5

Yes. Finally. I thought 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFlIMBafTj
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkLEZvMFdQ
everything was going to be delayed.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPHNNCM4qk

"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs3RHe44Xi

"We will wait out here," said Daesung.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uj7mF4Yy5

Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39cQkD0ARx

"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryJsQfSoX9

As much as I wanted to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDYgH5qulx
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnRxgcUDdE
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJSj690ZRY

***1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhbbO1SkP5

Zoey's P.O.V1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6erR7h2oD

As much as I tried to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeXr0mK01a
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHqHauIyjn
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkj6ID4ElO
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xO3Bn6rNw
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qINpsoLCV

"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9ZdHWEpAA

"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wmj1cfcFN

"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBfrt1LoIH

"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER7J5yqQx0

"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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTzDq3SFQL

"What do you want me to 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTWOVVymAN
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdalo71bJwi
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZi1CvBKwa
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjgYVpBRiO

"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkob5O6Ni5

"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ3vXDhUML

Jehan shook his head and1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi6qqlzDTg
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r6OUOHCM4
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10WTMr9OT7
annoying."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDFL833zr5

"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kpUU9RFJp

"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUYOrCafcN

"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfpuBpVeqV

"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXrSlGdNUK

"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjlFpUKYlj

Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC5nGVuEGx

"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMqLM5dz58

Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetjl7pXMBE

"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0GQxwr2IN

Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mw1Mnt9wl

"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi4tBY9ef2

"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQTzehfcrz

"Yes, for real."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6WHrce6EI

"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHXk1aUAxm

"Yes. Maybe we will meet1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaJnJlj3rc
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFH6XfLeZu
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd7z0DQswC

"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJkYueeAcL

"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDGE7vkzjz

"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡordzoXFLgy

"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUfS9YqGiy

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.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ316jLQCZPy

Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6WJ1T3cV3

"Zoey, hey!"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGhTCXt3ro

Seungri? I quickly 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRulVIHvoyy
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVjtj8tTqN
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpHeiFvk2j
here?1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul0G4oGiOQ

They came over to our 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ULt6HUyDS
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR1HViXiiN
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghEaFr2b6t
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVN5mOTNEu
to do now?1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47Rd4KXaek

"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgcApmeNMj

"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj773RoMTfX

"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMW40yHZm9

"Jehan."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3U3s5d2o4

"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNDP6Z3szV

"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA8igrGWy4

"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPn6K4Q0Cg

"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFgO7haSdU

"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGWAKZbBHq

"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqUTcmuHIb

"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEwfecZTfK

I almost spit out the 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLBB6tLZ60
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSchCqpVrPj
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunbeyd1U5o
to water.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZHgmGMIlO

"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjBwWWx6Fc

"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgLPei3kMU

"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhr8EEn119

Jehan looked at me and I1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdo04sSZCL
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhk0V9D3Ae
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AAQT0k97c

"May I ask what you're 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcHBZ3zbmt
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPKrhRnzff
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuovx6lIYIe

"Oh, we just came here 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W4NVkZQ5V
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3MTwhxRll
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddVKgxR3Ka

"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uoaPPkWY9

"No, you didn't," said Jehan.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK2D0ZNGAL

Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOH0iRc5do

"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgmY053kMU

"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3YtFroc1s

"Yes, we will," said 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIdOXBZiqA
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZItfDK2cm
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKSmCkrY1e

"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOB5rHYQv3

"You too," said Seungri.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNINJDevrB

Jehan gave a small smile1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan49SBMCbT
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsBk38FPCX
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNfXLW0duB
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL7VvMcwQm

"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoagvP7E2Xk

"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrWiOuUfgH

"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iSThd0q1W

"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6PeFBM5x8

I wondered how I was 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXH1kkmuV1
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeqIwvbtd7
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC3i1cNDqs
head until I give the teddy bear away.1219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHwvaeiFjc

This was just great!
