Zoey's P.O.V1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBvOmQvyUh
Waking up this Monday 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopDyJGsIeO
morning was hectic. I didn't want to get out of bed, but in one way or 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6dCmHDrIP
another, I would have to. I lay awake, thinking. I didn't want to face 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCpoRszvIV
off the challenges for today knowing that one of them was dealing with 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIWu7zbaR7
Jehan. Since I still have the teddy bear, I wasn't as free as I expected1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzKHgSnJwd
myself to be.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoGxBcIHNA
I couldn't stop 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UFDh5MgB6
wondering what Seungri and TOP were doing at the mall yesterday. As much1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkBEva3cIa
as I wanted to believe that it was a coincidence, I couldn't help but 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRr2SL3mRY
feel that something was wrong.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1nk1tCobJ
Could they have known 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMU904pvAm
about Jehan? And if they did, then how? I shook my head. Maybe all that 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SCK8t5bly
was nothing but a coincidence and I was just being paranoid. If they 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiuD9MPMgn
really had found out about Jehan, they would have been asking questions 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ548jhO5yhA
about him and what he does while we were shopping. But they didn't. We 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyAXTSD4zr
just had our usual conversation.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobZUZFxkIS
I brushed off all those 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlIJk6Nq0F
thoughts aside when the alarm on my phone rang telling me to get up. The1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAJTIX48kX
last time I had ever put up an alarm was the morning of my last day of 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwJeo6oWxW
high school. Eversince I became a musician, I never put up an alarm when1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6HepxOupG
I knew I had someone around to wake me up. Like Sam.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97ZM6PDZun
But now that she wasn't 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bMi4h3DmP
here, I had to wake up on my own. Most of the time, I would do so 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtv7gBbgJ6
without her help. But when I overslept, she was always there to wake me.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLfTzh98LT
Anyway, right now, I was just too troubled in my sleep that I must have1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnXAMJweK1
woken up early before the alarm rang.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP7KFX2HDZ
I sat up on my bed and 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nbZn1SPKl
switched off the alarm. I checked the empty bed beside mine and I 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJUzXfA8FM
couldn't help but realise how much I miss Sam. I don't know why I was 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtzmCfZi1r
feeling this way, but I hated the fact that I was missing her so bad. 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiMDfRXxxW
Not after what happened yesterday at the mall and all over social media.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBiXev7Qs4
After seeing her with 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JgioWp0Ec
G-Dragon yesterday broke my heart further into tiny pieces. As much as I1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreOtdyUpl0
knew she was only there just to try and resolve things with G-Dragon, I1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDz4Vy98kd
was filled with fury seeing the two of them together. And to make 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj9sBXwnTh
matters worse, after I had left the mall, I went online and there were 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCb5i2ozfF
pictures of the two everywhere. They were a trending topic for the whole1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWNqquGslw
day. That left me devastated.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUBGYL5VTn
I couldn't stop looking 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2PPaRuQHV
at pictures online even when I came back to the hotel. I read so many 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwHmfWMiWi
comments. As much as there were so many haters around (like myself), so 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTnM51sEkk
many people couldn't stop talking about how adorable the two looked 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwuNXWwsTK
together. I couldn't help but admit to myself that they were right. They1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudZKMMsq1p
really did make a cute couple. And that left me envious. I wished it 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjPwuSBO52
was G-Dragon and I. Not G-Dragon and Sam.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEQO5A7Mnm
That sent me boiling to a1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jmbQNWjUz
point where I almost threw my phone away. When Christine came to see me1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO0VJSBpa9
in my room and found me in an angry fit, I told her how painful I felt 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBmCpLSUOO
seeing G-Dragon and Sam together.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFSyTWC83h
Christine had told me to1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLhqy8H9Ay
cool down and that I shouldn't be jealous. She told me that Sam was 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZO5dYKzw7
only with G-Dragon because she was only trying to resolve things. I told1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBMcQDMVJ1
her that I already knew that. Christine quickly left me to myself when 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTE9mpuYef
she realised that she couldn't calm me down. So I was alone for the rest1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe6LjHJmo6
of the day, not speaking to anyone. I didn't even join the others for 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkt7FZMFWe
supper. I had ordered for my supper to be taken up to my room.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy8oMGhw5b
And now, I had to face 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4ZDSpUXPf
another challenge of seeing everyone today, most especially Sam, since 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBAWghY5gN
we have to finish up on the dance routine and start working on the music1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC99L7izzss
video as soon as possible. I have to put up with all this today when I 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFBNo6pwsz
was still so upset.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06R9XC4Trv
I quickly got out of bed and went in the showers, hoping the cool water would cool down all the boiling anger in me.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqLVigMQ27
After I was done, I 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTRF21OY8s
quickly dressed up. And carrying my purse with me, I went to meet the 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrVmEpNzwc
others at the dining table for breakfast.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vVzHSxNY6
I found them already 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ1soEMmiz
settled. When I came to sit, everyone mouthed out a "good morning" to 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGdzWiGs9N
me, except Sam. And I replied back with a smile on my face.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGIXbAxCtc
I felt a little awkward 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0dBUsnYVT
when I looked at Sam who sat across the table next to Collins and hadn't1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAZx39ZV7R
said a word. She was busy with her breakfast, her usual bacon, eggs and1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSknanpF5V
toast with juice. I realised she hadn't even looked up at me once and 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCQxWxuMPx
that also felt weird.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYXC3M15Hj
I know that she and I 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH9xzktq5j
aren't talking to each other at the moment, but I expected her to say a 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6erKZB4ik
"good morning" or even look at me to acknowledge that I was around. She 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY6vIVsra4
was one person even if we ever had an argument, she would at least try 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtuBL44QlJ
to say something to me. The fact that she didn't greet me, made me feel 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5SzhEqtn1
like something was wrong.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2luUrrlOtk
I poured myself a cup of1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9CGUpv96y
coffee, trying to ignore what I was feeling at the moment. I got some 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctcDyg1TqK
slices of toast and ate my breakfast.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zlGr6XKMW
"Hey, Sam," said Mike, who sat right next to her. "Have you seen what people have been saying about you and G-Dragon?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhuWGMB14R
My heart almost skipped a1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FGxOxLj5z
beat and I almost choked on my coffee. What was Mike getting at? I know1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyLqXvXeg6
he does things just to annoy me sometimes, but this time, he's gone way1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhuK80T7lv
too far. I was over here! Hello!1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH22bczFQTa
"You don't have to remind me," Sam said as she looked at her brother. "I've decided not to go online today."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ebg22kwPF
"For one who doesn't like attention, you might just disappear off the face of the earth," said Collins.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbTJHzMzec
"I can do that," said Sam, staring up at the ceiling obviously building castles in the air.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWjqKqU1Bn
"I have no doubt about it."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcatD1Dorz
"But I don't see why you1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sNWfoifik
have to," said Daniel. "Just because people make stories about you and 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65SwUNhhRe
G-Dragon dating, doesn't mean that you are."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp6uZsIEdH
"One thing about fans is1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMlDwDiIfU
that they can make a story so believable, even those who don't know 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgb1lF3rTW
what's going on, might end up believing it," said Christine.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafjffuD1W8
"I know," said Lee. 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKgNhECcsQ
"Right now, some k-pop news sites are already taking this to the next 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxevKgpI641
level. But they all say they couldn't be too sure about it until they 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYve60MMm5T
get an official statement from you and G-Dragon."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63y7EeykVf
"Wow, that's serious," said Sam.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdSjyr5TV9
"But right now, we have no time for interviews," said Collins. "We have a music video to work on."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3xquorzOh
"I can work with that," said Sam, with a smile on her face.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIq5Rjxv3U
"Alright, guys, finish your breakfast. You know the drill."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bxoWhHeHu
"Aye, aye," said Daniel.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTI1oEF5bY
"Well, you're quiet today, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. She sat directly across from me on the table.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8XkfV7Nls
"Do you have a problem with that?" I asked, eyeing Christine.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9P4IdJttC
"You're just too quiet, that's all."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HF3RJJFMp
"You should be quiet more often," said Collins as he got up from the table. "It kind of suits you."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeLcqnToRU
I frowned at Collins. "Thanks. I'll try doing so more often. That's if I really want to."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqVLVCHTle
"Now that's the Zoey I know," said Mike, raising his eyebrow at me and smiling.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd1DHb79LT
I stuck my tongue out at1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF8LKAgSI3
him but he continued to smile mockingly nonetheless. I noticed that the1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvwgthtDzV
others were laughing and smiling at the whole thing, except Sam. She 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym4kFo2UHo
still wasn't looking in my direction.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28joLYCSVH
Soon after breakfast, we1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWrsQXzaTN
left for YG. In the SUV, Sam sat at the back with her brothers. We were1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwAIuXt7wI
all chatting happily in the car but she was quiet the whole way. She 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgmBTiQXAO
was like that nowadays, always lost in thought. I wondered what she 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce11dUBSfr
could be thinking about. Sam was one person who never really shared what1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYIrwUf559
she thought. When you asked her about it, she would usually say 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhNRqXn90j
"nothing" and say no more. But if she really wanted to share with you, 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc19qtUZuVb
she would.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu3Z7uYAtq
We arrived at YG and we 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pqO5l89cf
found ourselves back at the dance studio we were practising in on 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpAN04SYzN
Saturday. We found our dance instructor and all the BigBang members with1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDfmt89oHl
the rest of the backup dancers, waiting for us.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVxsZTaqos
When everyone was 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMerhFj7FR
exchanging greetings with each other, G-Dragon didn't respond to me when1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBB1c5Kuci
I said "hi" to him. Given with what happened yesterday, I bet he was 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iEfY8II0c
still mad at me for how I behaved towards Sam. He didn't even want to 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDgvTwLebq
hang out with us soon after Sam had left.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB8X59SDmP
He not responding to me 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekEL6JGH7g
felt awkward and I longed for him to at least give me some attention. He1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEoogzRIc9
didn't say "hi" to Sam either but just nodded his head when she greeted1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpRYeT1TPx
him. At least that was acknowledging someone even if they weren't 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ06omKENtK
talking to each other. And he was staring at her the whole time even 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1baAtFHRr
when she wasn't looking. I thought of throwing a shoe at him, but I just1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeiVsGgDy1
looked away instead.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLIgXDhF8O
We went straight to 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5THZtK6N1M
practising for almost a good five hours. And those proved to be the 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSUp5AhXZh
hardest five hours of my life. Since the dance routine starts with 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ahICf2VZ2
G-Dragon and I, it was really hard having him so close. I realised that I1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvFITnF8Wu
still had feelings for him. At some point during practise, I almost 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sCiPRgsPj
hugged him, but I brought myself not to. And that wasn't the worst part.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdG1tTgGfA
During pratice, I 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCVizWPgo7
noticed that G-Dragon still couldn't take his eyes off Sam. This was 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrmha29eWc
getting to the point where I wanted to scream at him to snap out of it. I1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGM4ZOPFMK
wondered what he saw in Sam and that sent me thinking.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIJh8wCZn9
G-Dragon wasn't the only1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbwnUwnaPO
one who liked Sam. Come to think of it, Daesung also liked her. 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE4aAY68SI
Probably even Seungri and TOP, given that Seungri had a beautiful crown 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ez2At7hU9
made just for her and TOP flirts with her whenever he gets the chance 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPMhrjLeWb
to. Taeyang already had Hyo-rin and always takes Sam like a sister. What1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp0gHXMt7w
did Sam have that even most of the BigBang members like her so much?1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozuhmQBfmb
As her best friend, I 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFcUuIHYBx
should be aware of her qualities. She was nice and friendly to whoever 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtR7ejboFb
approached her. She is very pretty and had a great body, though she was 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9fmhhPZe3
never ever fully aware of her physical beauty. She always thought she 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbe6upr40h
was like any other ordinary girl but she was more than that.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJErIYM7CQi
She is also smart, 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMuoaEBrwa
caring and always understanding. She is a great leader and one who 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6VvYbxjRU
always had our backs whenever we needed it. I don't know how many times 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqIecU3yPY
she had always tried to get The Toxins out of trouble. I agree that even1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwiOu12vaV
if it looked like we don't appreciate what she does, we really do.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ODBOLMbw
Sam has a lot of good 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmK59ODBVD
qualities. Maybe that's why she is liked and loved by everyone. Even her1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgziTPJLRY
fans. She is honest, when she wanted to. She is also a pretty good 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzMtdNm7FK
liar, only when it was necessary to do so. And she is one who wouldn't 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVS7EM6nVP
want to hurt anyone around her.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XX1Y8c53L
Realising this made me 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM7aynHAw8
feel a little guilty as I looked at Sam who was dancing in front of me 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPiCmg01rQ
with Taeyang beside her. I looked at her face and she had this smile 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX12Aphykx
that reflected her innocence. I realised that I had been giving Sam a 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44dDB76Vkp
real hard time after I found out G-Dragon likes her and not me. She is 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4fTPQk6O1
my best friend and would do nothing to hurt me. I know she was only 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPkdneR0jF
looking out for me like she always does, but I am just too ignorant to 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeJrXhSulX
realise it till now.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmT4GMLrGF
"Wait, hold on a minute guys," said the choreographer. We all stopped dancing as instructed.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRkqHVP9PA
"Zoey, you aren't 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Um2wuylRD
concentrating," said the choreographer as he looked at me. "This is the 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh6bCunnPK
second time you have made the same mistake."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QY2ahfE4h
"Oh, sorry," I said, scratching the back of my head feeling embarrassed. "I'll try to be more cautious next time."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNMfAVI2tj
"Okay. Let's continue from where we left off."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3mdP0HS2u
It was lunch the time we1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1EW1k1r77
broke off for a break. The choreographer left and the others were 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfSdWv7Ugm
talking to some of the backup dancers. I noticed Sam at the corner of 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UR9ItyuOi
the room with Christine and some of the backup dancers talking. It 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLOvJVRwTM
looked like they were having one hell of a funny conversation because 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWkSxJyryP
they were all laughing.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJiQ02r4Pn
"Hey, why are you here all alone?" came TOP as he came to stand right next to me.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU22gXcyqD
"Nothing," I replied, looking down at my sneakers. "I just want to be alone today."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLmbNPl6pk
"Still not talking to Sam?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWMsWrB1aM
"Nope."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVaRYTY25O
TOP's lips rose to a smile. "You really are stubborn."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz1A5UCrj1
"Too bad it's in my DNA." I smirked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0oeA786pN
"And how long do you think you're going to put up with it?" TOP folded his arms as he looked at me.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpKE1j9Weg
"Maybe till we go home." I shrugged my shoulders.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9EBUcEW5E
"I doubt it. Judging by the way you performed today, you looked really preoccupied that you made several mistakes."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk81hkvDxV
"Being preoccupied is Sam's thing."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxo19q281V
"I know. But you aren't 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7O0RI9bjV
yourself, that's for sure. The Zoey I know wouldn't be here all alone. 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O13jwSsCw
You would be chit chatting like you always do."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinYDLH2WO2
"What if I just want to be alone for today?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcFdv4SNob
"It's okay. Everyone has those kinds of days. But you make it look like being alone sometimes is a bad thing."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW222DSSpFM
I frowned. "Why?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YmDmZGo9n
"Because you look miserable."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wMacWGUe8
I didn't expect that coming from TOP. My mouth was agape as I looked at him.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfAg20O3JX
"Miserable!"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A6yPdeteW
"Ya." TOP nodded his head. "It clearly shows."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwOWpa4t45
I thought for a moment 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXlP6JACzW
and went back to looking at Sam and Christine with the backup dancers. 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSSNmfqfnL
Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel had also formed their own little 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleaXeU2ILe
circle and were laughing and chatting too. Taeyang and G-Dragon were 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2eBIpWQ0J
with some of the backup dancers, having a normal chat.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdJFurjhUu
Seeing all this in front1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW4m3xrAP6
of me made me realise that TOP is right. I am definitely miserable. By 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNa4jVtoEx
now, I would be with the others, chatting. But here I was, all alone. 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGI6uIUexr
Until TOP came to talk to me.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZYD81zX5A
"I guess you're right," I said. "I am miserable."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9dPF96zMj
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you going to resolve things with Sam?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUc0XVZYP6
"I don't know," I said 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuTbaP4PpP
as I looked at Sam who was laughing out loud. "I'm still mad at her, but1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcSkg9zOOB
something in me says that I can't stay like this for long."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpPvw0rcHO
I told TOP what happened in the morning and how it felt weird that Sam didn't say a word to me nor even looked at me.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDonzCmS9yZ
"I felt so bad about it," I said, shaking my head.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9UhC2oxE6
"Then why don't you talk to her?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lz2HKzQ8y
"Pfft!" I rolled my eyes. "Why should I? Sam always does all the talking."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfnjkdrR4f
"Really? You think Sam would do that this time around? Besides, she wasn't really at fault with all this."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aXO70SaRw
"I know."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWC3snD6jj
"So? Are you going to try and talk to her yourself?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH3Xuxpycr
"I'll think about it."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OT3WXkiYi
"Hey, guys," came Seungri, suddenly calling out to everyone in the room. "Who wants pizza?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdERefHsVrg
Everyone muttered out "me!" really loud. Seungri smiled and said he would bring the pizza.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNnbbhU7KN
"Mind if you guys can help me?" Seungri asked as he came up to TOP and I.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFUTEcQoxZ
"Sure," I said. I really needed to get out of here for a while and breathe.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOPfARG0gu
The three of us went out1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJCf2YETWy
of the room and headed to the elevator to take us downstairs. Seungri 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yXBrhnTme
already had his phone out calling the pizza parlour to take the order.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t0f0KlPfx
As soon as we reached the ground floor, we stuck around in the lobby waiting for the pizza.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl35UXbmXD
"I'm so hungry," said Seungri, staring at his watch.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcdK0Ipv4u
"Chill, you just ordered1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIpQmKt7LC
pizza like right now," said TOP who was sitting right next to me on one1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5Uoa7mOfu
of the chairs in the waiting area of the lobby.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWQ6sFtx1b
"But I'm so hungry."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15RaTXahvZ
"Trust me, you aren't 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakydyXBBbM
the only one," I said as I looked at Seungri who was still standing. 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGysc0eG0Mx
"Sit down or else you're going to drain the last remaining blood you 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEU5KyT73k
have."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b4KpUNW63
"Well, that's mean," said Seungri as he sat next to me. "What's up with you?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz643Ff7F2X
"Nothing," I said as I folded my arms.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT5gf6mZBF
"She's cranky, don't mind her," said TOP.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlr1H0TpGI
"I'm not cranky. Just having an awful day."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe3Qd79Ty2
"Ya, we can see that," said Seungri with a smirk on his face.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdidHzmdQ9d
I didn't say anything as1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8sLdvueEp
I shook my head. All of the sudden, I felt my phone vibrate against my 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUWYnxgh6Q
thigh in the pocket of my sweat pants. I took out my phone. Jehan was 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6AQYmL3QO
calling.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjWYdAQ5ew
"Isn't it that French guy we met yesterday at the mall?" TOP asked, looking at my phone screen.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2IO9za4j7
"Can you please not look!" I said as I turned the phone screen away from TOP's eyes.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfGrNk6Rhy
"Okay, well you better answer that call."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaxd4ENBwR
I stood from the chair and answered Jehan's call when I was a few feet away from the two.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvOUOBtLlx
"Hello," I answered.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFwJlqGnRx
"Hey, Zoey," said Jehan. "Are you busy today?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbpzIwdMj8
"Ya, I'm very busy," I answered. "Why?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ktMMnjxeY
"We have to meet today, ASAP."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfAEzAHHgL
"But I can't. I have a lot to do today and I don't think I'll manage to meet with you."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhBFJJRluu
"I don't care. I need that teddy bear today. Not tomorrow, but today."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKafgAzK5XN
I knew Jehan was going 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VqrMb1KJi
to call and demand for the teddy bear. Luckily, I carried my purse with 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIuIe7ZGHZ
the teddy bear in it. I hadn't removed it from my purse since yesterday 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4MejrarOo
and I checked to see if it was still in there this morning. The purse 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DlJZV89oO
was upstairs in the dance studio.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNJZXeDh7D
"Okay, what time do you want to get the teddy bear?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcHGjpXHcw
"I'm coming to YG to get it."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbTWgdwOa1
"What!" I was horrified and equally surprised. "No way. You can't come here."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumYWhF1nPP
"Fine. If you have a better idea, then call me or text in the next thirty minutes. I have to get that teddy today."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiS8rsaAys
"You don't have to remind me," I snarled.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW9E9zbBIO
He cut the call and I 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnnginhwh2
looked at my phone like I was ready to throw it out of the lobby through1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyzK3FR3vD
the open entrance doors. This was bad. Real bad. He wanted to come here1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOXGFq22yL
to get the teddy. That was going to be dangerous. If anyone were to see1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOAopHPoXE
him they would start to ask questions.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDcDbNa9Bn
"Zoey," came Seungri's voice behind me.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXtL5H1TO7
I turned around and there stood Seungri and TOP staring at me.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpDhS4zJop
"What?" I asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7mQC8IkYl
"Was that Jehan you were talking to?" TOP asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKr45UoRad
"Um, ya. Is there a problem?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PhBvpJqpK
"You two didn't seem to be having a normal conversation," said Seungri. "It sounded like you were arguing or something."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7togJFrc7t
"Arguing? Pfft. No," I gave out a small laugh trying to hide my fear. "It was just some silly misunderstanding."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsoprFVMfI
"Come on, Zoey," said TOP. "That was no ordinary misunderstanding and I know an argument when I see one."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx73q7fnPKi
"Guys, it's nothing. You're worrying for no reason."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUisRFvc4qc
"Oh, ya? Then why were you talking about that teddy bear then? It's that small cute teddy he had sent you, right?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQdvxtzGse
Dang it! I was cornered 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxynMVuPAC
now. They had heard about the teddy. I couldn't come up with a lie. If 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlC37Kesxy
anything, I'm a terrible liar. Looks like the truth will always come to 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSgHetVg1f
light no matter how much you try to hide it.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3ZmhN5T9C
"Tell us, Zoey," said Seungri softly. "It can show on your face that something is wrong."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A4ZF9mCo3
I sighed as I looked down on the floor. "Fine. But don't tell anyone."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNEtdjpldr
"Okay. Now tell us what's going on," said TOP.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYrQVGlYKZ
We went back to settle down on the chairs. We were at a reasonable distance away from the receptionist so I could talk quietly.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57N6Y2DEli
I told them everything 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3lMeouu7D
from what happened in Paris till now. They listened carefully and hadn't1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtlsyug52d
said a word until I finished the whole story.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBezUobcj3s
"Have you told anyone about all this?" Seungri asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYHzXeK7Iv
"Just you two," I answered.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE25DNp0PbQ
"Wow, this is serious," said TOP, trying to take it all in. "He's a diamond smuggler?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpsPRbN1uK
"Surprising, right?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYcBdm0ygO
"He seemed so nice when we met him," said Seungri.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiQAFj1EbP
"We should involve the police," said TOP.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0na651Otqc
"No! We can't!"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8yidlCAtN
"Why?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjot0ZGmwH
"You know word goes out 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1Tyq3cz6k
fast. The next thing we know, it's going to be all over social media and1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaZvL0gh9N
might give The Toxins a bad name. I would rather do this quietly."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfKvwERG5v
"And how are you so sure he isn't going to use you again?" Seungri asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEkNkdaz7X
"He assured me that this1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9mX2nGu8s
will be the last time he will ever use me to do any of his dirty 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmusLXvscJ
business. I just have to give him the teddy bear and that's it."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBFGBPXABk
"Give who the teddy bear?" came Christine's voice.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyJjhU0I6q
The three of us turned 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNlE1P0xh3
and we saw Christine standing a few feet away from us. We hadn't heard 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraVojsub4e
the elevator doors open nor her footsteps. How did she get here unheard?1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutflhKVkrl
"Christine, you're here?" I raised my eyebrows.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhWHNKiuzI
"Ya, I came to check up on you guys since some of us are really hungry," said Christine.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT9tAyrno5
"The delivery guy hasn't arrived yet," said Seungri with a smile.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZxNElzhWB
"What's this about some guy and a teddy bear?" Christine asked as she looked at me.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvflkViDI4
"Ummm, it's nothing, Christine," I said, waving my hand in the air. "Just talking about some random stuff."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd33w9G12t
"Random stuff involving a1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfQnvDMrRW
teddy bear?" Christine shook her head at me as she folded her arms. "I 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm9S8NIXhP
clearly heard you talking about giving some guy a teddy bear and that 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSigD6wLkO
you won't have to do his dirty business anymore. I know you're hiding 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwE7AJZ1aI
something from me, Zoey. So you better start talking."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoEO0glOnm
I rolled my eyes and sighed so loud in frustration. How many people was I going to tell the truth to today?1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDbSuPeVSX
"Fine," I said, looking at Christine. "But please don't tell anyone about this."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC8w5Z9n7G
"Okay, I won't."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpnAfO29P1
"Sit down."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG0U6aYLPm
Christine sat right next to TOP and she looked at me with anticipation.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldCpRtdUld
"I got myself into trouble," I started.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr0n5tl3tz
"Great!" Christine threw her arms in the air. "What did you do now, Zoey?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO82voy5hm3
"I got involved with a diamond smuggler."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURSWl8AF0I
Christine's face soon 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWH6G14LzP
drained of colour and she looked as white as a ghost. She tried to open 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGHbNl0SnO
her mouth to say something but she couldn't. Until....1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFLvfusrp1
"What!"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kwavn1trt
TOP quickly covered up 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLA0OJUoLn
her mouth before she could shout out anything else. The receptionist 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZE6PfJYBm
looked our way and soon went back to work. When he was sure she had 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9refaOTOPu
cooled down, TOP removed his hand from Christine's mouth.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTQtwqvdcI
"Are you cool now?" TOP asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPLDFgZBxA
"Cool?" asked Christine, sounding anxious. "I come here and hear about some diamond smuggler. How can I be cool?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6Rf00hi1A
"I know you're really mad at me right now, but you asked what was going on," I said, looking apologetically at her.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j5ysw5SsY
"Of course I'm mad!" 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpBDqnt9fC
Christine whispered angrily at me. "I know you always get in trouble, 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNgPWU0A33
but this by far is the worst one of them all."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPgGXk0tdO
"At least it's not a drug dealer," I said shrugging my shoulders.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr4OaK8OOQ
"Is there a difference? Seriously, Zoey. How the heck did this happen?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy5umdjH0j
"It happened in Paris," I said. "Remember the guy I introduced you to at the fashion show?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmLU8oMsTF
"Ya, I remember. What about him?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbQJcyhPIl
"He's the diamond smuggler," said TOP.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxKxAw3nfO
"WHAT!"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONii6wutYr
"Ssh!" TOP, Seungri and I hushed at her at the same time, putting our fingers on our lips.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaqdhmjmBM
"Guys, I can't help it, sorry," said Christine. "Wait, that handsome guy is the diamond smuggler?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIpyCi8w38
"And the one I met at the café," I said.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKuilJ3a41
"So he is the one who sent us the teddy bear?" Christine asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rCTG3awzJ
"Yes," the three of us answered at the same time.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbwbjNTQ89
"But why does he want the teddy bear back?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGBKpZcK8D
"Because the teddy has diamonds in it," said Seungri.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDCKorAQMl
"Wow, seriously?" Christine's eyes bulged out with surprise.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWCWgNjOmr
"Ya," I said. "I planned1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJDC8HMZWL
on giving him the teddy bear yesterday but I couldn't because these 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp2T9TnRI8
guys showed up." I pointed at Seungri and TOP with my two thumbs.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1sAQWYjVj
"So you're the one who 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xwT74CNsx
got the teddy from our room yesterday," said Christine. "Lee was 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaaUYDrBt5
searching for it and couldn't find it. She thought she must have 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVbid8LoeV
misplaced it somewhere. You even went to meet him? I thought you went 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmJICKMEf7
out with Seungri."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jqSLL4Mh1
"I lied."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPziJdobr7
Christine shook her head. "I knew something was up. You are really not good at lying."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9nWk0RMbR
"I know." I gave Christine a grim look, not feeling impressed about myself at all.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfqsl8mnGu
"Why didn't you tell us you were being threatened by this guy?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tdfPYKt1g
"I wasn't supposed to. And besides, it was too dangerous. He threatened me with a gun in Paris not to tell anyone."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXWTFBciT0
"That's great. There are guns too. Blackmail would have been so much better."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWei9wQAVC
"I know. Now he wants the teddy bear back today. And I don't know what to do. He wanted to come here and get the teddy himself."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObNf13MsYN
"Then why didn't you let him?" Christine asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6pucLcWIx
"That was going to raise a lot of questions if anyone saw him," said Seungri.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgBHb8P9jr
"Now where is she going to meet him now? She has to take that teddy bear away or else it could land us into more trouble."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEu5NOXkA9
"He said I should have a location as to where we meet," I said. "And I haven't thought of anything yet."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eYPdmKyld
"Why don't you meet after practice?" TOP suggested.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEQeOYJBu0
"But where?" I asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJEYkNRhTy
"Tell him you will meet at the café. The one you had met him in last time. TOP and I will take you there," said Seungri.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AHwXrb4Fn
"I'm also coming with you," said Christine. "And don't refuse." She pointed her finger at me when I opened my mouth to object.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKl5AaTIyN
"Fine, but remember, don't tell anyone," I said.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQeIO6HeFT
"Got it," said TOP and Seungri at the same time. Christine nodded her head.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22CyeSrEaG
I took my phone out and 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0XKxDgkCm
texted Jehan that we should meet at the café after practise some time in1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroCg13jWEd
the evening. He replied saying that he would be there.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlnCTKg3Yx
"Okay, it's settled," I said as I put my phone back in my pocket.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCnxUprkcY
"Yay! The pizza is here," said Seungri as he stood up and approached the pizza delivery man coming in through the entrance.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv6bWYRCuq
Seungri had ordered ten 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7fl162ZeB
large sized boxes of pizza, enough for everyone upstairs. And the 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIR7N2EZhL
flavour, mac and cheese. Sam's favourite. Well, almost everyone's 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDDxRb1G2I
favourite.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpaVemO2nW
We helped Seungri with the pizza and went to the elevator which took us back up to the floor of the dance studio.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWnLLduypC
"When all of this is over, Zoey, you're going to get a scolding from me," said Christine, as we walked down the hall.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkymMqSNGU
"I'll be ready for 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5N2TcO8eQ
that," I said as I rolled my eyes. "I just can't wait to have everything1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF5Tks8lXJ
back to the way they were. Before all the threatening."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx0jbfeC51
"No, they won't," said Seungri. "You still have Sam to resolve things with."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNws3NkuAp
"And G-Dragon," TOP added.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTxlPihwko
"Can we please not talk about that?" I asked. "You don't have to remind me all the time."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeE1ZyfPvN
"Well, someone has to," said Christine.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrSA4c8u5J
"Just so you know, I'll agree to resolve things on my own terms."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBBdKDoIMI
"Jeez," said Christine, rolling her eyes at me. "When you say that, I have to get ready for the unexpected."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3db8d2lNE
We found ourselves back 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHSWPtHYHO
at the studio and this time, I found Sam talking to Taeyang. G-Dragon 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbYr91yfft
was still talking to some of the back up dancers and I could see him 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz16sZhj487
staring at Sam through the corner of his eye. Or was that me being 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhuD3MeTae
paranoid?1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUGlWDmz3H
Christine snapped her fingers right in front of me and I turned to look at her.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMqIqcarec
"What?" I asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaATaNWsCI
"You were frowning," Christine answered.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrX7d7QoQc
"Frowning? I wasn't frowning."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesIEgXIjHg
"Says the person who 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9YOuKJx1I
couldn't stand seeing G-Dragon looking at someone else." Christine gave 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVheNGot0L
me a smirk and left me standing all alone by the door, while she joined 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVQPsQB0nM
the others who had soon formed a circle around Seungri and TOP.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbxH9xQflt
Soon after lunch, we 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQbhzduZvO
went straight back to practising. This time, for a good six hours. We 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8djgTYwX1B
had to do the dance routine over and over again to perfect it. This time1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Usf9tKrU
around, I made sure not to make any mistake like I had been doing 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiBtpbdRjH
earlier. This time, everything was coming out perfectly and I don't know1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWTq3Hft9g
how many times we had to do the routine all over again. But despite the1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDMIDnt06s
number of times we did it again, we had a whole lot of fun.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS9S468sWu
At some point in the 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfIc2I5rnB
afternoon, our two managers and Lee came over to check on us and they 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9L5j9gxfD
were really impressed. Yang Hyun-suk thought filming the dance practise 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkuHccof4s
will be helpful and that they would release it after the music video. 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIhPVppdBE
The dance practise was shot and it came out perfect, but still, we went 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02ukVmMTlt
back to practising until we could pratice no more.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdruzjWOOs
It was five and the sun 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2DbYxsvXt
was setting when we were finally done for the day. I was so tired that I1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP5MoChldJ
was lying on the floor. My body aching everywhere. Luckily, I wasn't 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSX4HdN6OF
the only one on the floor. Christine and Daniel were lying on either 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvhXECaKbi
side of me. We were all pretty tired.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2nszGGcTV
The choreographer had already left and the backup dancers also started to leave. G-Dragon and Taeyang left together.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWqVgH9tue
While I was resting and 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dQY7w275m
gathering up any ounce of energy I had left, Seungri was standing next 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zCYzWWINT
to my head and looking down on me. I looked up at him with a puzzled 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiWSuBGDPI
look on my face.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKcXqmPfZ4
"Get up, Zoey, we gotta go," he said.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NcMPlzaN6
"Go? Go where?" I asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOQgyt65BN
Christine roughly nudged me on my side with her elbow, I looked at her with a whining look on my face.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv33vzFCMZ
"Ouch, that hurt!" I said.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg7qH0bZ2z
"Are you forgetting, Zoey?" Christine asked, raising her eyebrows. "We have to go somewhere to do something."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwlXzM53jl
It was then that I remembered that I was supposed to meet Jehan at the café. I totally forgot.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKV8YOZ0y8
"Oh, ya!" I quickly sat up on the floor and Christine followed. "We have to go."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGttAjny9f
"Go where?" Daniel asked, still lying down on the floor and looking at us.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrItPfYCxn
"No where," I answered quickly. "We're just planning on going around the city for a drive."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GBBAOW6uw
"I want to follow too," said Daniel.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGdAd47ODo
"Where did you say you were going?" came Mike who had been talking with Sam and Daesung.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2qW7KG9sL
I rolled my eyes. Seriously? The last thing I want is for everyone to follow and find out what's going on.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OCoOcw3Kr
"It's nothing really," said TOP. "We were planning to drive around the city. You don't have to follow."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB92ijQ047
"But this is not fair," said Daniel, sitting up quickly. "I also want to come along."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nm8BXwWSc
"Ya, me too," said Mike.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewvS2l9wHL
"Why don't you want 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e23wXx7v7
these guys to go along?" Sam asked. I noticed that she still wasn't 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP5FP0lpay
looking at me. "You're just going for a drive. I see no reason for them 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VU5r69orr
not to follow."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD20Rlbxrf
I wanted to protest and 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5NXjU1kmY
refuse but then I realised that I wasn't supposed to talk to Sam. And 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mOMiEzFlL
refusing her was going to be pointless because I already know Seungri 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lniyFKltL
and TOP weren't going to deny her so easily.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8eZYVkTwm
"Okay, they can come along," said Seungri.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrNpXBsxN3
Dang it!1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE3vijcbDi
"Okay, you'll find me back at the hotel. I'll tell Collins that you had to go out," said Sam to the others, giving them a smile.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPXB6ci3AC
"I can take you back to the hotel if you want," said Daesung, addressing Sam.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N6bNjOk9w
"Thanks, that's nice of 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyCaBZ8Dos
you, Daesung," said Sam giving him a sweet smile. She turned to look at 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBUr4FoLfP
the others. "Have fun you, guys."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxiW9YJK5B
Sam and Daesung left the1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PEYnk6njQ
room together and I couldn't help but look at the door and think to 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJS6s3PKvh
myself that the two also made a nice pair.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjps1wK3m2
"So, where are we going?" Mike asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8n7Dhb9xQ
"Please, don't ask any questions," I said as I turned to face him. "It's none of your business."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS7HSdXLbo
"Mmm, seeing the look on your face, something's up," said Daniel.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ezAvlACzM
Christine stood up from 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO40Fu9HE5D
the floor and said, "look guys, if we tell, you have to promise not to 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMFrsBqd6a
tell anyone. Not even Sam. No one."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEYKszz3Dy
I looked up at her with my eyebrow raised. "Are you seriously going to tell them?" I asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN2uUj5Po1
"Do I have a choice? You know how persistent these two are and they are probably going to find out anyway."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOubI1JK25V
"Ya, Christine's right," said Seungri. "And we also couldn't refuse Sam for them to come along."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk2vNPSJqM
"You just couldn't refuse because you like her too much," I said, turning to face Seungri.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mm18mkZS1
Seungri shrugged and smiled. "What can I say? I've to obey the lovely queen, right?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO49PRXd7A
I almost snapped back at him but I controlled myself and looked away.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr9UmFo0My
"Okay, can we focus on telling us what's going on?" Daniel asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69wpgngE9Y
"Fine," I said. "Someone tell them. I can't keep repeating myself with all this."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt2rKWSQm0
TOP told Mike and Daniel what was going on. The two brothers were shocked after what they heard.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsrE68kBXf
"Oooh, you're in a lot of trouble now, Zoey," said Mike, looking at me and shaking his head.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJNcgLc2Vv
"You don't have to remind me," I said rolling my eyes.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTZ9IDatct
"I can't believe that guy is the diamond smuggler," said Daniel.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTXJa8Jm2J
"I know," said Christine.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT28aFtrnT
"You haven't told Sam about this?" Mike asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7hod3bCRb
"No. No one has to know," I said. "Not even the police."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8287QjXyWi
"I think you should have told Sam," said Daniel.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUEiyjBlOk
"So that she can judge me? No way."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ8y57j3Lo
"You know Sam can never do that," said Seungri. "She would have helped in any way possible."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY3bEFGyFk
"Don't try to convince 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhOO6GGXzl
her of anything," said Christine. "She probably won't listen like she 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl0JuQtKuc
always does." I raised an eyebrow at Christine and she looked back at me1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJLHpHotES
like she could hit me with a hammer.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn231bwufj
"Okay, let's go," said TOP.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L2O9gwuu8
I got up from the floor 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11InVidWOD
with Daniel and I took my purse. We soon left the room and headed 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp9vgKYURA
downstairs. Sam and Daesung had already left since there was no sign of 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB7XBAX3XN
Daesung's car in the parking lot. Christine and I went with Seungri in 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNyRQi83M2
his car while Daniel and Mike went in TOP's car.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW2zMxKUZe
The cars soon left the 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWXxf9D7UY
YG premises and in the car, I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovyUjx5JDL
things didn't work out like it did yesterday? I hope not. Every now and 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T3TufR5Kv
then, I would open and check if the teddy bear was still in my purse.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ4l4nSRzh
"Can you you please stop1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7KeuMrUDl
doing that?" Christine asked from the back seat. "You might just drop 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgRVpMcWb4
the teddy and lose it in the car."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvUMBgVdyS
"Stop joking around," I said as I turned to look at Christine.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTAnhkSerI
"Well, then stop getting nervous. We're all here with you so there is nothing to be worried about."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLNGSDCyc9
I leaned back on the chair and tried to relax. "You're right," I said. "I need to relax."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpMMrVX3jS
"Don't worry, we're almost there," said Seungri as the car took a turn.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdoVRZHyL9
"I just want to get this over with."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zBWWuHeBQ
We were soon packed 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqjGROskuu
right outside the café and TOP's car parked right next to us. I took a 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXA8uProXi
deep breath. Christine came over and put her hand on my shoulder. I 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWfyDKPHUu
turned to look at her.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyfCrvAlCt
"Everything is going to be okay," said Christine giving me an encouraging smile. "If anything happens, we'll be here."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MbatJgPHg
"Thanks," I said with a smile. "I'm glad you guys are all here."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdea5k3hVMe
Seungri also turned to 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLzHMlI6dI
smile at me. I don't know what I would have done without them. Their 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9ttInRQxx
presence here gave me a little comfort. But I felt a small hole in my 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdGIMHTIyy
chest and I wished Sam was here too.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wS8KXP1C0
I soon got out of the 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKMkLYUMgJ
car and there was a sudden chill in the air. Maybe it's because the sun 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8LZmacVTd
was setting that it started to get cold. I had my purse in my hand and I1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUqLCN21wN
looked towards the café. I hope everything will go as planned.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9BGZPBS8h
Before I could find my 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3br1FJUVFx
way into the café, TOP, Mike and Daniel waved at me through the windows 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mTsi4OyOh
of TOP's car and giving me a thumbs up. I smiled a little and waved 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVHKckOTik
back. At least that gave me the confidence to go ahead.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaARaaXPhO
I quickly went in the 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfLEM9KxCj
café and when I slowly stepped in, I looked around for Jehan. I spotted 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANTop3OcWh
him right next to the huge glass window where we had last sat down 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHtqD8LcAw
together. He was alone in his smart pressed black suit, as always.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcsvyAEvgw
I slowly approached the 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RsYvT4Mzx
table. His eyes never left me since I walked in the café. When I got to 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4x2VeACnJU
the table, I sat facing him. My heart was beating so fast. I don't know 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uv4FfxKE9
why I was so scared that things might go wrong and Jehan wouldn't 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRDzqxqZM5
hesitate to end my life right here.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCgqz1Xv8g
"I'm glad you could make it," said Jehan. "I was almost about to call my driver to come pick you up."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBVg4GQBJv
"I was practising today," I answered.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aojr2fs1k
"You look really tired. It could show all over your face."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMyLSRm2BI
"Thanks," I frowned at 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OOctpRqhk
him. "Can we get this over with? I still have a busy day tomorrow and I 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObmI7xLG6F
would like to get this teddy bear off my back."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZXcAKwFCd
Jehan smirked. "Certainly."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRnQHq38j7
I quickly reached out 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEHQRxs1U4
for the purse on my lap, opened it and gave him the teddy bear. Jehan 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAd6Hv355K
reached out to take it and I couldn't help but feel relieved.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6NlQej3K2
"There! You have your teddy," I said. "Can I go now?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7i4D4CeIO
"Wait." Jehan held up a finger when I was just about to stand up and leave. I sighed.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnygUpws4d
"What now?" I complained.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs13Emzk2F1
"I need to check if all the diamonds are in here," said Jehan, shaking the teddy in his other hand.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqvSdF2unz
"What do you think? That1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiCSRCsW32
I would steal from you?" I was really surprised that he didn't trust 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy2pV3wuYw
me. "You pointed a gun to my head in Paris and I have done everything 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHK3AeiSUn
you have asked until now. What makes you think I would steal your 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphpTAF3dbj
diamonds? I have a life to live, may I remind you."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqtlBeWvOD
Jehan raised an eyebrow 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZpqicI4GZ
at me. "Nice one, Zoey. You almost had me convinced. But I'm still going1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovvts2REGT
to check. I've to make sure all the diamonds are in here before I make a1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PXeuvuvbz
fool of myself in front of my clients I'm selling these to."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTfMbKstlq
"Fine." I folded my arms on the table. "If you don't believe me, then check it yourself. I know I'm innocent."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFLgqUftJb
"I know you're." Jehan gave me a smile and I looked away facing the window. It was getting really dark outside so fast.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpPDTEJNqn
I went back to looking 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysiMSvUKn7
at Jehan who had laid the little teddy bear on the table and he dug into1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P12k15hN5
the pockets of his suit and removed a small pocket knife. It didn't 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnMMMz0GSH
surprise me that he carried that thing around.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY7SMlOEvx
Jehan slowly laid the 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNJGKfiedo
blade onto the little teddy's belly and cut through its tiny suit, 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY7ehGKdiE
dissecting the teddy bear. This reminded me of science class back in 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuxV2cvxtB
high school when we were told to dissect a frog. Doing that was so 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcOMgG34ps
disgusting that I ended up purking all over Sam's shoes, who was my 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLzn7PCh3e
science partner. This time, it was just cotton stuffing that came out of1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwqfHEm16C
the teddy bear.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rXUsQyUzx
Wait. I frowned. This 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O8c2FGjLI
isn't right. I raised an eyebrow when Jehan kept on removing cotton 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNOeg9Up4r
stuffings and there was no sign of the diamonds. Where were the 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tfq44PXCZ
diamonds!1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw115C3M4qb
I stared horrified at 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDwaZwKuWD
the scene on the table. There was tiny cotton stuffings everywhere and 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHE79v1ipu
the bear that laid stuffless on the table was a sad site to see because 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFDAHxwTkK
there was nothing in it. No diamonds.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYCTc4GxYl
I looked up at Jehan and1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBv6rCW7cD
he was as surprised as I was. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvlCojQ1vh
stop looking at the dissected teddy. If he kept on looking at it like 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9k4fHNGnR
that, he was going to end up traumatised.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiskmEnwSCt
"Je-Jehan," I said 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL87jBQ1SJ1
softly. Hoping he wouldn't bite at me like a dog with rabies. "Jehan. 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFkwzCSBx9
I...I have no idea what has just happened, but, there are no diamonds in1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKm9gcxeUr
there."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61XlL2p02j
Jean neither moved nor 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ658mvSNK4e
said a word. I was getting worried. Should I move him to try and snap 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJHNCe2ZR4
him out of it? I didn't know what to do.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFozBRnpkAS
But how could this be? 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gw7n1CxqH
Where did the diamonds go? It's not like the teddy bear could just poop 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSEfp1tWKU
out diamonds since it wasn't alive or anything. Something weird was 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuZhVazujX
going on. And I wasn't like liking it at all.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqzVxYYcUe
"Where are my diamonds?" Jehan muttered silently, still looking at the scene before him.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcojr45ueUr
"I...I don't know," I said shaking my head. I was scared of his reaction and I prepared myself for it.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkHnIJvOhS
He banged his fists on 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz2AAnacYf
the table so loudly that he startled not only me, but everyone else in 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH3wmtzRDi
the café. Everyone turned to look at us and I looked around then back at1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfKHQirl6l
Jehan, whose eyes were as red as a bull's, staring at me.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzGWzEff2C
"Jehan, chill," I said, putting my hands up to calm him down. "Let's not try to get angry here."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGxVpgv1EH
"Where are my diamonds, Zoey?" This time he didn't shout but the anger in his voice got me shivering.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoijXhzyaFZ
"I don't know. I don't 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB1VtXtcnx
know what's going on right now. This is the same teddy bear you sent us.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxPfonDcy0
I don't know why it doesn't have diamonds in it."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQx98Eyupu
"How did the diamonds go missing?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq5Cbr2PTB
"How am I supposed to 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2V6P6j6ng
know? I just kept the teddy for you. Maybe you sent me the teddy without1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuVqsQBbxO
diamonds in it and you probably never noticed."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtLyPJ5VEb
"Don't doubt what I do, Zoey! I made sure I made no mistake."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOErfBEVP8y
"Okay, chill, I believe you. Look, why don't we try to sort this out calmly? Getting upset won't do us any good."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThDw4MF7ls
Jehan rubbed his 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhuDJrHSwm
forehead and sighed as he leaned back further into his seat. He seemed 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm6HGS7gkY
to have calmed down when he looked at the teddy bear again.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Re5NnIphM
"I need my diamonds back, Zoey."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ly1NX6D5k
"I know. You've said that like almost a hundred times now."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ8goPp9Wj
"Let's not joke around here. What happened? Why does this bear have no diamonds in it?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xZoHGVpG6
"I didn't do anything. I swear. That teddy was just the way it was eversince you sent it."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvCP5RVf9Y
"Then why doesn't it have diamonds in it?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U0y8OZPmC
"I don't know."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybAfrv6uHZ
Jehan looked at me with an eyebrow raised. "Who else had this teddy apart from you?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLeeHd8FWV
"Ummm," I looked down 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S7h5yHmCS
and played around with my fingers. "Uh....I wasn't the one who had been 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9D5638Wh9
taking care of the teddy bear this whole time."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw8pBDJLsS
"What?" Jehan sounded surprised. "What do you mean?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykh9bFthyd
"I didn't have the teddy bear with me at the hotel the whole time," I said, looking at him fully in the eyes now.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzCGzJb0dC
"Who had the teddy bear?" Jehan leaned closer, his eyes not leaving mine.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcBLynSKDb
"Lee had it before I took it from her yesterday."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GyJPE85jd
"Oh, my gosh!" Jehan 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LjZ4yIA2I
covered his face with his hands and I could see this wasn't going too 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3ufh2ETAk
well for him. "Could she have the diamonds?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrmyebNbr5
"I don't think so. Lee 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1xRtKYT1V
is an honest person. If she did notice there were diamonds in the teddy,1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbbBhrDnC1
she would've said something. No way. She can't have the diamonds."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK08HU2wGdb
"Then how do we explain all this! She was the last person to have the teddy, correct?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiviC16wCpj
"You're right. But if she did find out about us and all this diamond business, she wouldn't keep that to herself. I know Lee."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnkIbQqFKS
"Maybe you don't know Lee well enough. If this is the same teddy I had sent, where could the diamonds be?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkXg3SpW5r
"Maybe this is just another teddy bear and the actual one with the diamonds is still at the hotel."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RRQ5QKre4
After I said that, Jehan1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNf4yoak08
quickly took the dissected teddy bear in his hands and looked at it 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLVxcBDHl9
carefully. He turned the teddy, looking at its back side and tearing the1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0DuzOUY84
suit away. I wondered what he was looking for because he had a serious 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ1nU3Ljsf
look on his face.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFlz5D1tXR
"You're right," said Jehan. "This is definitely another teddy bear and not the one I sent you."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsPZOPj66I
"Wait, how do you know?" I asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbXWpuTDua
"I remember one of my 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLlhEH53ds
men who sewed the teddy bear after putting diamonds in it at the back. 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yXlYvjiJE
There should have been some stitching here but this one doesn't."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRx15vnCrd
"Ha!" I snapped my fingers. "I knew I was right!"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIiWKq8szz
"Don't snap your fingers and be all happy about this," said Jehan, back to giving me that angry look. "I need that teddy, now!"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYaKVEv8la
"Huh? I can't start 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtHZXqqa7G
searching for it now. It would look suspicious. And I can't start asking1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk3UCBUznt
Lee if she bought another teddy just like this one. She already knows 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47KSO99TcW
that the bear is missing."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5paf5gWqPa
"Then maybe, Lee isn't the only person you should be asking."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx9IhQRWwf
"What do you mean?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC50ocbluH
"Someone else must know where the other teddy bear is. Your group members perhaps."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45RJTqRCT7
"No. I highly doubt it. Lee must have bought another teddy and we just didn't know about it."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcKpER42Xo
"Now that, makes no 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lhKKPsaCM
sense. If I were you, I would go back and find out what happened to that1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54TWx7q8cY
teddy and ask around for it. I'll need that teddy tomorrow."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03PdrjwQIA
"Tomorrow! Are you nuts!"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYZXHNA0jg
"Maybe I am because I'm desperate to have those diamonds back."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR2tto4DzC
"I might not be around tomorrow. I have a music video to shoot."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHMTWLEgzs
"Find those diamonds and you will be scott free, Zoey. Or do you want everyone to mourn over you when they find you dead?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrWKAmOf9a
I completely forgot that1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNK3mnB2G4
I was being threatened by this guy. Though his threats didn't scare me 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEC1zThF5p
anymore, I just had to abide to everything. Who knows, he might not have1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJfM9kOV5A
me killed, but he could hurt the others and it would be all my fault.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3K9WNjCD3
"Okay. I'll see what I can do."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3FY5uoMip
Jehan gave me a smile. 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZaloGCsyw
"That's more I like it. I would start working on this soon if I were 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW3cdmxQKp
you. Try your best to find the bear by tomorrow, will you?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ioUtpRpzw
I nodded my head and 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3T4PshJ5l
that made him smile even more. He soon stood up from his seat and looked1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wPYHgyU4k
down at me. I looked back at him without a saying a word.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNhXodZCNk
"See you tomorrow," said Jehan and he quickly walked out of the café.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgybDnrUT3
I sat there as I buried 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZma3BuNOJ
my face in my hands, thinking of what to do. Again, everything was 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHqwVuHv7e
ruined. First, the interruption from TOP and Seungri yesterday. Now, the1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox1i7iMjYg
teddy bear had been swapped with another. My life couldn't get any 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJhBxvrlhT
worse than this. What was going on? Who was putting me into so much 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSEmlCXA0R
drama that might just ruin my life?1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jLAZqbyYX
I hadn't noticed the bell of the café ringing because I felt a hand on my shoulder and when I looked up, there stood Christine.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdi2OBmmmQ
"Zoey, what happened?" Christine asked, as she turned to look on what was on the table.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57xYnoeiet
I could hear footsteps 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDU1v9oUUo
behind me. The others had come in the café too. They all looked worried 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQELl6v94L
when they saw the look on my face.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs1Xvc9UEv
Christine sat where Jehan had been a few minutes ago and looked at the tattered teddy bear on the table.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwDI3YspeH
"What's going on?" Daniel asked. "And what happened to Mr Teddy?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoj8NGYCZb
"Jehan didn't look happy when he left the café," said TOP. "Didn't he get his diamonds?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqAw1dugFc
"No," I answered. "He didn't."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFHHnFuNti
"What?" Seungri sounded surprised. "What do you mean he didn't get his diamonds?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6GdhNgSyt
"This teddy isn't the teddy he had sent us," I answered. "Someone swapped the teddy with another."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzDaTbXoq6
Mike shook his head. "But who? We didn't know what that teddy bear had until now, so, it couldn't be anyone of us."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX7HPsFFg7
"And what about Lee?" 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFLvyIHSC2
Christine asked. "She was the one who last had the teddy before Zoey 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRakNsQ2Hqf
took it. But what doesn't make any sense is why she would want to get 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2aMZkyj6o
another teddy when she had asked me last night where Mr Teddy had gone 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyroNAev8D
to."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXv9cgSyfJ
"This is bad," I said, 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZOgxmgGhE
leaning my elbows on the table and holding my head. "Whoever has the 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52dasl1oBg
teddy, knew what must have been going on this whole time."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNgUiLNkxn
"Ya, but who could have known?" Seungri asked. "It couldn't be Lee because all she knows is that the teddy has gone missing."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaV7geLqx7
"Maybe Sam has it," said Mike.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4ZXSLFdds
We all turned to look at Mike with grim looks on our faces.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KNprioDV9
"Sam?" I wondered for a 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbh9iBeYWC
little while. "Why would Sam have the teddy? And if she did, how could 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya6PmhG2Pc
she have swapped it with the other one?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpCxXJPOcz
"Okay, wait," said TOP. 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U15fqx6TQ
"This is all too confusing. Does Sam even have any idea or clue as to 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduKhwVlLri
what's really going on in the first place?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8ZjVbsSKJ
"I doubt it," I said 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9nsPnv0iT
shaking my head. "If she knew what was going on she would have 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO0sxW3Pwg
confronted me. And besides, she was also at the mall yesterday and would1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9clNOe1VR
have probably seen Jehan and I together. But she didn't."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3bm5qkcyN
TOP and Seungri looked 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ky97R1vqQ
at each other after I said that. What was up with them? The look they 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBqffQ4mYD
gave each other made me feel that something was up but I quickly brushed1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWFJrgzV7O
it away.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNhOqOIoIN
"I highly doubt it too,"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvInZ4Z0msI
said Daniel. "If she knew Zoey was into some kind of serious trouble, 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs0rwQxrnd
she would have asked us about it."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cE2WSdPfm
"That's true," said 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEzfpXB9QJ
Mike. "Come to think of it, I don't think Sam has it. For her to swap 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPJNIohO5Z
the teddy, she would have bought it from somewhere."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YyrxtmJ85
"And I checked out the 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezEJ9lnhIS
shopping bags, Lee came with yesterday when she went shopping with Sam. 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN3nMPRT2k
There was no sign of a small teddy in any of them," said Christine.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCleDRha5k
"She must have bought it when she was with G-Dragon," I said.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sNhoJ0JPv
"No, I highly doubt it,"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6IkBvftYt
said TOP. "There are some dedicated fans who followed those two 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcS1QhajgK
yesterday, describing which store they went to and taking pictures. They1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWDz3CmS74
said nothing about them entering a toy store."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1BKfMQeEL
"Now that's what I call a dead end," said Daniel.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51woFdNe8U
"Fine, so Lee and Sam have been cancelled on the list," said Seungri. "Who else could have swapped the teddies?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsT2CRlIAg
"Collins?" Mike asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi8zpc4UIv
"Ha! No way," I said, almost laughing in a such a serious situation. "How could he have known about Jehan and the diamonds?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUBZNO71oV
"Mmmm, good point," said Seungri. "He's been really busy these past few days."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLZgHmK2jE
"But who knows? Maybe he1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxwXVkkvAd
has been spying on me this whole time and I haven't noticed. He 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZeihba9kv
considers me the black sheep that has to be kept an eye on at all 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JgVEfUjUr
times."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno23dm2lZ1
"You're definitely the black sheep, Zoey," said Mike.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ205lrxNppo
"Hey! May I remind you, I'm not the only one here who gets into trouble here."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjRdmYrfhr
"Okay, guys, focus," said TOP. "What makes you think Collins might have been the one who swapped the teddies?"1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g7mSb5kzX
Daniel suddenly snapped his fingers. "I remember now. Yesterday when he came back with Sam, something happened."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zd6Me7JuZ
"Wait. Collins was with Sam?" I asked.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y5b4R9aeI
"He was the one who went1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6QvQHhl7d
to pick her up from the mall," Daniel answered. "Back to what I was 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vPKAkaNFQ
saying, Collins had something delivered to him at the hotel. He even 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU52RsxUT7S
went to get it himself from the delivery man who was coming up the 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1use8unKwb
elevator."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr8XVrVNHt
"What was it?" We all asked Daniel, looking at him anxiously.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i5GmGQIcs
"It was a small box. And if you ask me, it was kind of like the one Jehan had sent that teddy bear in."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt48DjLJkp
"Gosh, it's been Collins this whole time," said Christine.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKmzqQY2KH
"I couldn't be too sure," I said. "But after what Daniel has said, I don't know what to believe."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3pWmJHiva
"We really have to go," said Seungri. "We can't stay here."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpbUiUcm2Z
"You're right," I said 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSDtfllsGf
as I stood up from the seat taking my purse. "I've to search for that 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZClXvhWNAR
teddy if I want to make it out alive tomorrow."1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsShsoaS1F
"Wait, we can't leave all this here," said Christine, taking what was left of the teddy bear in her hands.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigSpfcfjVg
We all walked out of the1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01lm4TVIM0
café, hopping no one had heard our conversation. There were a few 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNGrtavaZw
people in the café and I highly doubt if they really heard anything.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdnunYL1q4
While I was in the car 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HDN3Gy1ST
with Seungri driving and the others in the other car behind us, I was so1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH6OkszOef
troubled about the missing teddy. I couldn't help thinking that Collins1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tyOixcUij
is involved. But that didn't make any sense. As much as I wanted to 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83a9inhGvm
believe that Collins could have swapped the teddies, I shook my head at 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwJMJPdHSu
the thought of it. Maybe it really wasn't Collins.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc88tkU5kT0
If it isn't him, then 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0rZvp6oMa
who? It couldn't be Lee because she had the teddy with her the whole 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28wNgn0oHg
time and she couldn't buy another teddy for no reason. And I couldn't 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnRwEG5zj8
picture Sam doing anything like that either because I had never seen her1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtQkC3QZB0
near that teddy after Jehan sent it to us that day.1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuYa0WMGCd
What if I had the wrong 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEgRzzvanX
teddy the whole time and I had never known till now? All this was too 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42t3iLRVDJ
confusing. Who swapped the teddies? And when did the swapping ever take 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShCZmsfqAP
place without any of us noticing in the first place?1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtxdXlyDq0
I hope I could be able 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLafCzPbQcc
to find the teddy soon. Jehan might threaten to kill me, but I was 1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RwLA9THXK
pretty sure he would try to hurt the others too. And I wouldn't let that1013Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lDEkY7qee
happen.
