Sunday was quiet and 828Please respect copyright.PENANAnsQioU3798
pretty not much the same when you know that your best friend isn't 828Please respect copyright.PENANA0V5BdzVn87
talking to you anymore. As much as I would have liked to bring up any 828Please respect copyright.PENANAkBnONEPvcO
random topic just for Zoey to talk to me, I knew she wouldn't respond or828Please respect copyright.PENANAYTy0DwgRFq
listen. She wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.828Please respect copyright.PENANAfPVvm0W3dT
Last night, Zoey moved 828Please respect copyright.PENANAOgFyyX6FgG
out from our room and since we booked the entire floor, she went over to828Please respect copyright.PENANAsUDcMWIMGv
the other room, far away from me. I couldn't blame her though and I 828Please respect copyright.PENANAgD6vYPaFZz
didn't even try to talk her out of it. No one even bothered to try and 828Please respect copyright.PENANABbKTZZBX5B
talk to her either.828Please respect copyright.PENANAKhQXyVgswH
And so did Collins, who had no idea what was going on.828Please respect copyright.PENANApoMw83fgXh
It so happened that 828Please respect copyright.PENANAK4MwGwgOvY
while Zoey was moving out of our room with some of her personal 828Please respect copyright.PENANAZaTEVbdlMR
belongings, Collins appeared out of the elevator. He had asked her what 828Please respect copyright.PENANAP5TgvxtW5o
was going on and as usual, when Zoey is upset, she hardly talks to 828Please respect copyright.PENANAPJUS150NQc
anyone. When Collins asked the rest of us what was going on, I told him 828Please respect copyright.PENANACGdbE4d9nu
that Zoey and I had an argument. With that, he didn't ask any more.828Please respect copyright.PENANAodSP2DPdxI
Now, I was sitting 828Please respect copyright.PENANAvS2iDBZAd9
lazily on the couch in the lounge on a Sunday, trying to see anything 828Please respect copyright.PENANAm39APZziTI
interesting to watch on YouTube so as to pass time since my brothers had828Please respect copyright.PENANAN6B8EtUANg
now taken control of the TV playing Call of Duty. I did enjoy myself 828Please respect copyright.PENANAPUWvENaSFX
watching k-pop music videos with the likes of BTS, EXO and many others.828Please respect copyright.PENANAdYE5gYI9dn
I was lying down in a sleeping position, still watching videos when Lee came into the lounge.828Please respect copyright.PENANAmVazV5LA3y
"Are you just going to sit there the whole day like a lazy bum?" Lee asked as she came over to me.828Please respect copyright.PENANAiNsvetgc69
"What?" I asked as I removed an earpiece from my ear. I heard her loud and clear even with my earpieces on.828Please respect copyright.PENANATpmlXumtqN
"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?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAjGOP9nL0j8
"Uh, ya," I nodded my head and put the earpiece back in my ear.828Please respect copyright.PENANA9u5Ml7pm5a
"Get up, let's go," said Lee as she pushed my legs and they dropped from the couch to the floor.828Please respect copyright.PENANA1gC9wSapHF
"Lee!" I whined, putting828Please respect copyright.PENANAkAEflz2GCF
my feet back up on the couch. Daniel and Mike who were on the floor 828Please respect copyright.PENANApY9LLxXh9R
facing the TV, turned to look at Lee and I, pausing their game.828Please respect copyright.PENANAQirfKxnhAV
"This isn't like you, Sam," said Lee, dropping my feet again. "You need to go out and have fun. It's Sunday."828Please respect copyright.PENANAupGr0sp7Cx
"But I want to be here and watch videos on YouTube," I said as I sat upright.828Please respect copyright.PENANAxRZi6eUCHj
"No buts, Sam. We're going out whether you like it or not."828Please respect copyright.PENANAseqoHttSeH
"Why? I want to stay here."828Please respect copyright.PENANAFVsXifRaHY
"I need to go and shop 828Please respect copyright.PENANATI1KwrEpTz
for a few things and I think it will do you a lot of good too. Not after828Please respect copyright.PENANAPj0otzZFJI
what happened yesterday. I can tell you need a distraction."828Please respect copyright.PENANAj3xicblJmd
"But watching YouTube 828Please respect copyright.PENANAgkswwJcdvF
videos is the perfect distraction if you ask me. Besides, you should 828Please respect copyright.PENANANdaxRSFLyO
check out these other k-pop artists and groups. They are so awesome."828Please respect copyright.PENANAeTZOCGZ3wp
Lee turned to my brothers who still had their eyes on us the entire time. "Help me out here, guys. What should I do?"828Please respect copyright.PENANApBtHgK8olJ
"I think Lee is right, 828Please respect copyright.PENANAQWkjzfqUeG
Sam," said Daniel. "We all aren't busy today and you usually like going 828Please respect copyright.PENANAWriXGG4geV
out on Sundays like you do back home."828Please respect copyright.PENANAh9EWbhvxNp
"But what's wrong with staying here for a while and do nothing but watch videos?" I asked, looking at my brothers.828Please respect copyright.PENANAwLI9NXazSA
"I know you're a fan of 828Please respect copyright.PENANAGxbNp2Dy03
YouTube but the Sam I know wouldn't be here lazing around after what 828Please respect copyright.PENANAsKUbGDdTMo
happened with G-Dragon and Zoey," said Mike.828Please respect copyright.PENANAHQU6WOm1Sx
"So, what you're trying to say is that I've to try and figure out what to do with those two?" I asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANA8pEuZuM3BJ
"Well, that's what 828Please respect copyright.PENANA2OEe07gC6c
you're good at," said Daniel. "You did say you were going to try and 828Please respect copyright.PENANAG3yXIWejCS
resolve things with Zoey. You usually come up with ideas to do so."828Please respect copyright.PENANAbV5nQAfsjf
"But that's when I decide to go out somewhere and think."828Please respect copyright.PENANA8saOdoOLXq
"That's what we are 828Please respect copyright.PENANA35EnXWB5dp
telling you, Sam. Start thinking things out or else at the end of it 828Please respect copyright.PENANAppASIqPSLE
all, we won't be able to make the music video. Not with Zoey acting like828Please respect copyright.PENANAURzkWf2qRp
the goddess of wrath and G-Dragon still mad at you."828Please respect copyright.PENANApCSwgxwR8G
Daniel's right. I had to828Please respect copyright.PENANArCgCjji4Dl
figure out what to do with those two and me sitting here wasn't going 828Please respect copyright.PENANAT89rSZFCgd
to solve anything. But how could I tell them that there were now other 828Please respect copyright.PENANA6aW7K3RmYl
problems to deal with? Like Zoey and Derrick's brother for example?828Please respect copyright.PENANAKMJ8whIgLX
Unlike the others, Lee 828Please respect copyright.PENANAmBLWNQNIpO
was the only person whom I told about what happened when I left YG 828Please respect copyright.PENANAl5uOPjI1Td
yesterday to meet with Derrick who told me what had been going on with 828Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZP5NfykKE
Zoey and his brother. And right now, dealing with Derrick's brother was 828Please respect copyright.PENANASgtY24MkhO
going to be a lot tougher than trying to sort things out with G-Dragon 828Please respect copyright.PENANApJHbVHC0GI
and Zoey together.828Please respect copyright.PENANAJHihTdpAK9
I really wanted to tell 828Please respect copyright.PENANAiACQLn5GlZ
these guys what was going on. Besides, they were there with Zoey in 828Please respect copyright.PENANAwQ5BZrRKPY
Paris and they might have some clue as to what was really going on. But I828Please respect copyright.PENANAau5y76R2zr
didn't want to worry them. Not yet, at least. I had already put them 828Please respect copyright.PENANAr7lgV2Mpt7
through a lot because of my secrets and I was doing so all over again. 828Please respect copyright.PENANA9U17YzdISn
When was I ever going to change?828Please respect copyright.PENANASXVHYvfIza
"Okay, I'll go," I said as I stood up. "You're right. I have to think of something, and fast."828Please respect copyright.PENANA9DAl2OXuRc
"Great," said Lee. "Now, go get your shoes. Collins isn't around so we can stay out for as long as we want."828Please respect copyright.PENANAgw4Qm6jKAu
"Has anyone seen Christine?" Daniel asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANA181KTVlZNj
"She is with Zoey," said Mike, rolling his eyes as he mentioned Zoey's name. "They are probably in the room talking."828Please respect copyright.PENANA55wWdhmUIj
"Hopefully, Christine would be able to convince Zoey to forgive me," I said.828Please respect copyright.PENANAnElrzLJXx8
Lee, Mike and Daniel 828Please respect copyright.PENANATSgy8Z0zK0
shook their heads and muttered out words of disapproval. I didn't say 828Please respect copyright.PENANAhler3fyqMr
anything, as I also shook my head. I went out of the lounge, straight to828Please respect copyright.PENANAfwAQXNTivm
my room to get my shoes.828Please respect copyright.PENANA7L50TqvGUc
After I wore my white 828Please respect copyright.PENANAvGD1ERCENC
pumps to match with my white jeans and purple tank top, I took my purse 828Please respect copyright.PENANAVbdBqyJVYf
and went to Christine's room. I made sure to knock first, and when 828Please respect copyright.PENANA9K5AqxDM5b
Christine called from inside to come in, I slowly opened the door. I 828Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1lYERBlhP
didn't go in the room as I saw Christine and Zoey on the bed facing each828Please respect copyright.PENANAsWBe9oTbYG
other. They were quiet when they saw me at the door.828Please respect copyright.PENANAAAPtVaQ2ni
"Hey," I said. Zoey looked away, ignoring me. "Lee and I will be going out. I just wanted to let you know."828Please respect copyright.PENANAnP8bA5T5ED
"Okay," said Christine. "Have fun."828Please respect copyright.PENANAjGRIi7YACG
I nodded my head and quickly closed the door. It was still clear that Zoey didn't want to talk to me.828Please respect copyright.PENANAPuaavGP1gO
I walked down the hall and back to the lounge where Lee was waiting for me.828Please respect copyright.PENANAAZmVCRac25
"We can go, now," I told her.828Please respect copyright.PENANAAt3ckJZ7Uy
"Alright, see you guys," said Lee as she turned to the boys.828Please respect copyright.PENANAOANuGXZw2q
"Bye," said Mike, his eyes glued to the TV screen and his fingers continually working on the control buttons on the game pad.828Please respect copyright.PENANAfGwc90ZFk8
"Have fun, Sam," said Daniel as he managed to look at me and smile.828Please respect copyright.PENANAe1phxZFRHl
I smiled back at him. 828Please respect copyright.PENANAyIWvx95hMM
Then Lee and I took off for the elevator. When we reached the ground 828Please respect copyright.PENANAQpVmNXaLMV
floor, the SUV was waiting for us as usual. And there were two body 828Please respect copyright.PENANAPq02v0On6k
guards in the other SUV.828Please respect copyright.PENANAyB7tjKEnRC
"Looks like you have everything planned out for the day," I said as I entered the car and Lee followed.828Please respect copyright.PENANAL1RntzCxOL
"Well, someone had to bring you back to reality and focus on what's really important," said Lee, as she closed the door.828Please respect copyright.PENANADIRwJSdiG2
"If you mean Zoey and G-Dragon, I don't know what to do anymore."828Please respect copyright.PENANAT7PQQRw3WS
The car's engine roared to life and the car drove out for the hotel premises with other car following behind us.828Please respect copyright.PENANASEWzUVR77M
"So, where are we going?" I asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANAxHsSk6ogyN
"To the mall," Lee answered.828Please respect copyright.PENANAv9icZG0Uga
"How will the mall help me figure things out?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAQBLVCoEIKg
"What's wrong with the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAGotya0wu6N
mall? Just trying to distract yourself will help you out. Sometimes the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAC8bmb5rpPo
best plans just come out of the blue."828Please respect copyright.PENANA4L8MvRwzzl
"I should have just stayed behind and continued watching videos."828Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6LIbcnKZM
"And waste the day away? No way."828Please respect copyright.PENANAPTxo2ftWaY
"Come on, Lee. Right now, I have no idea what to do and watching videos was the perfect way to distract myself."828Please respect copyright.PENANADbFEIkWjKe
"I know. I had to get you away from there so that we can talk about Derrick's brother."828Please respect copyright.PENANAg2oGbdV9fg
"And what am I going to do with him? Unless I find out what Zoey's hiding, I can't come up with anything."828Please respect copyright.PENANA1G3Jd5fhy4
"Didn't you check around the room for any clues?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAGBJ3AULl7M
"No. Zoey might have 828Please respect copyright.PENANAbo5PwKpsv9
moved some of her stuff out of the room, but if she was hiding 828Please respect copyright.PENANAC8H0VOMrWO
something, she isn't dumb enough to leave it behind. I checked last 828Please respect copyright.PENANATGx5WX3o7r
night when she moved out and I couldn't find anything."828Please respect copyright.PENANAeljs8jX9vU
"Well that's a bummer. What do you think she's hiding?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAe5SaBK9c7z
"I don't know. But the way Derrick described his brother, I'm expecting it's something serious."828Please respect copyright.PENANAUAkpnL7cNd
"Are you sure you checked everywhere?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAJwQPvMCXQ3
"The closet, her suitcase and even under the bed. There is nothing."828Please respect copyright.PENANAApPNyArA79
Lee remained quiet and as for me, I went to looking at the windshield in front of me, looking down the streets of Seoul.828Please respect copyright.PENANACAQ7tfCXNH
"I don't know what to do828Please respect copyright.PENANAvyBKy1TVI4
anymore," I said, my eyes still on the road. "Now that I know that Zoey828Please respect copyright.PENANAb0ORfsPJXt
might be in trouble, I can't just sit by and watch quietly. I know Zoey828Please respect copyright.PENANA65PjXx1U2s
doesn't like to admit she is in trouble, but I have to help her out 828Please respect copyright.PENANAM8UhWEvt5g
somehow."828Please respect copyright.PENANAFu2pxBF9fJ
"But we can't do this alone, you know? At some point, we will have to involve the others too."828Please respect copyright.PENANAGeVvyJsyfV
"True. And I'll also have to ask the others their side of the story with what happened in Paris."828Please respect copyright.PENANAt9JXQfFXpc
"Mmm. Acting a true detective. Trying to put one piece of a puzzle together with another."828Please respect copyright.PENANAtuTrEeeZfI
I folded my arms as I 828Please respect copyright.PENANA2niquNVgP1
leaned back further in my seat, the wheels of my mind starting to work 828Please respect copyright.PENANAdAxXPa9ep9
but I couldn't figure out what to do. I had too many problems to deal 828Please respect copyright.PENANAJ71C6UcG00
with and it was driving me nuts. I wonder why I wasn't running around 828Please respect copyright.PENANANb0Imn3FEv
the street with a crazy hairdo at this point.828Please respect copyright.PENANAjbQuCnsXXB
We soon reached the mall828Please respect copyright.PENANA9sRVWQnx3t
and we came out of the car, heading towards the building with our two 828Please respect copyright.PENANA1FKR6hkFOJ
body guards behind us. I carried my shades with me this time and I wore 828Please respect copyright.PENANAOlfuy4nA1M
them as we went in the mall. I could already feel eyes on me and see 828Please respect copyright.PENANARO5nSypNYT
phones coming out out of people's pockets as we passed. I was glad that 828Please respect copyright.PENANAJtz0ujC68Z
the bodyguards were around.828Please respect copyright.PENANAeakscJA51c
Lee and I first went 828Please respect copyright.PENANAoAjiClyXSV
shopping for clothes. We even tried out some of them. I had to admit, 828Please respect copyright.PENANAZnM2e0lM92
shopping and trying out new clothes made me forget about some things for828Please respect copyright.PENANAJriVF0jFd7
a while. I was having fun.828Please respect copyright.PENANAmyF8Nb4j5C
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.828Please respect copyright.PENANAzLKdB0RZoC
Lee and I soon came out 828Please respect copyright.PENANAjwNLbFyYEA
of a shoe store after buying some expensive shoes. I bet I bought more 828Please respect copyright.PENANADQxGZhDA6h
clothes than shoes and Lee was vice versa. We even managed to buy a few 828Please respect copyright.PENANABwY0j0W5sT
things for the others as well. The bodyguards had to help us out with 828Please respect copyright.PENANAfx2vlZQSG6
our bags because we bought way too much.828Please respect copyright.PENANAIMjd20owyQ
When we walked out of 828Please respect copyright.PENANAzMmF5MzYek
the store, Lee suggested that we go down to the food court and get 828Please respect copyright.PENANAcp5gzvWBBp
ourselves something to eat. We were above the ground floor and just as 828Please respect copyright.PENANAaOnJ4EwQd6
we were about to take the glass elevator, I noticed that opposite the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3DFePJW1B
elevator was a toy store. I looked at the toys shown on display.828Please respect copyright.PENANAOCNQEQYdv2
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Lee asked as she noticed that I had stopped.828Please respect copyright.PENANAKjTUYLwMo9
I couldn't answer Lee. I828Please respect copyright.PENANA4spJgYbxmC
also didn't know why I was staring at the toys on display. Something 828Please respect copyright.PENANAxiVDAQBQhk
had drawn me to this store and I wondered what it was.828Please respect copyright.PENANACWmDqn2EA0
"Hello! Earth to Sam!" Lee's fingers snapped in front of me.828Please respect copyright.PENANA2t1cR5eaLE
"Huh?" I turned to look at Lee.828Please respect copyright.PENANAOCV9SJmzGD
"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"828Please respect copyright.PENANA4BiflPZyGb
"I..." I went back to looking at the toys on the glass display. "I don't know."828Please respect copyright.PENANAW28QrQEI4b
"You don't know? You're staring at those toys like you want to buy them all."828Please respect copyright.PENANAiR8sWxRdWF
"I'm not a child, Lee." I rolled my eyes at her.828Please respect copyright.PENANAA5CbIaOmCC
"Then why are you looking at those toys like that?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAdWWgWQB82L
"I...I..." I scratched my head. This was weird even for me too.828Please respect copyright.PENANAbSpVnSI6C4
I looked at each and 828Please respect copyright.PENANAPw0fin4HOI
every single toy on display till my eyes rested on a huge brown teddy 828Please respect copyright.PENANA05gAx6wjrx
bear. I looked at it for a while until my mind clicked.828Please respect copyright.PENANAVfDcQSx5BO
"Teddy," I said, looking at Lee.828Please respect copyright.PENANA7I1CKkUNTI
"What?" Lee looked 828Please respect copyright.PENANAhXMFZ6bwy1
really confused and I bet in her mind she was obviously thinking that I 828Please respect copyright.PENANA1ycxLWK5cT
was crazy. "You want a teddy bear? But you already have a stuffed 828Please respect copyright.PENANAuG8XLVHsv7
panda."828Please respect copyright.PENANA8UBeiZKoBk
"No, not that. Mr Teddy. The little teddy bear back at the hotel."828Please respect copyright.PENANAHKbCFZQsQk
"Ya? What's wrong with it?" Lee asked as she shrugged.828Please respect copyright.PENANAXSpW1epvgk
"Derrick's brother sent 828Please respect copyright.PENANAwtXYmbvzN6
it to us that day, remember?" I hit my head in frustration. "Gosh! I 828Please respect copyright.PENANAHa0DxHtjAN
should have asked Derrick if he knew that his brother sent us that teddy828Please respect copyright.PENANABE3DshT0gy
bear."828Please respect copyright.PENANAiwAEJXEbLX
"But why are you so concerned about it? It's just a teddy bear."828Please respect copyright.PENANAYtQ4sAFBJF
"Ya, sent by Derrick's evil brother. That has to count for something, right?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAnW5ABytEIS
"I don't get it though."828Please respect copyright.PENANA7h62Cd02ro
Lee shook her head as she stared at the toys on display. "Why are you 828Please respect copyright.PENANAAPzIK8rdXT
so concerned about that small teddy?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAroPmmlOdPr
"That small teddy might hold the one thing we are looking for."828Please respect copyright.PENANAAMvkWZ6Khc
***828Please respect copyright.PENANAoUA0iW3Zrn
Zoey's P.O.V828Please respect copyright.PENANAS6bYrZ88Zz
"I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over again," I said as I rubbed my forehead in frustration.828Please respect copyright.PENANAYEBcGHtmRV
"You know I'm not going to quit, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me with a stern look.828Please respect copyright.PENANAGHtSV4HpSr
"Look, this has hurt and disturbed me a lot. And when I need someone to talk to, you're not supporting me at all."828Please respect copyright.PENANAe63YU3K6zD
"Because I know you're wrong. And you're treating Sam so unfairly."828Please respect copyright.PENANA9PlchtM6TS
"How am I treating her unfairly?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAbcnagTzFCl
"You moved out of the 828Please respect copyright.PENANA0O1BCckMqi
room, taking some of your belongings with you. I know you're upset with 828Please respect copyright.PENANAqNzQMjPYso
Sam, but doing that was not right. You're acting as if she is some kind 828Please respect copyright.PENANAxEXKjw1kjh
of alien or something."828Please respect copyright.PENANAYL5XH9uieW
I tilted my head to the side. "Well, if you put it that way, calling her an alien isn't that bad."828Please respect copyright.PENANAMNQOZGIeao
In a quick flash, a 828Please respect copyright.PENANAFicosUP1st
pillow landed on the side of my face with so much force, that I fell to 828Please respect copyright.PENANAwhxhbLS0Jh
the side on the bed. I quickly sat up and held my cheek.828Please respect copyright.PENANAc6RUJ3Nn1v
"Christine!" I exclaimed. I was shocked that she did that.828Please respect copyright.PENANA8kQtzhyZ2N
"Do you want more of 828Please respect copyright.PENANA5d10VgCRmb
this pillow or should I get a hammer instead?" Christine asked 828Please respect copyright.PENANAjwdZicMp47
threateningly as she held up her pillow, ready to strike at me again.828Please respect copyright.PENANA6zBaKCeyVp
"Never mind. I shouldn't have said that."828Please respect copyright.PENANA2V5mNgPEH9
"You got that right." 828Please respect copyright.PENANAOaaCs5olBw
Christine put the pillow away. "I know Sam hurt you a lot, but you won't828Please respect copyright.PENANAIICrKExVqt
ignore her like you're doing forever."828Please respect copyright.PENANA8RcQss1Rx6
"Don't worry, forever will be here any moment now." I said ironically as I looked at the door.828Please respect copyright.PENANAqVbJyLUOrV
"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."828Please respect copyright.PENANA5OaYBOZYnL
"Ya. You don't have to remind me since we're all in a group together."828Please respect copyright.PENANAoBy2G58gY9
Christine carefully looked at me and stood up from the bed, walking towards the window.828Please respect copyright.PENANAKal4PclhL8
"It's normal for someone828Please respect copyright.PENANAHPG8bKiMak
to get hurt by the ones they love and you aren't the first nor the last828Please respect copyright.PENANAcmxXmLYLOy
to experience such, Zoey," said Christine as she looked at me. "You 828Please respect copyright.PENANAJH6iWjaW3U
just need time to heal. You'll be back to your normal self and later on,828Please respect copyright.PENANA7V2PkSCbQB
you will be laughing at all this with Sam. One thing's for sure, you 828Please respect copyright.PENANAA2AE3TmGZo
and Sam are best friends. And nothing will ever change that."828Please respect copyright.PENANAdMSiC2VgcX
I always hated such kind828Please respect copyright.PENANApkDrjfYuvR
of talk. And coming from Christine, it just made me want to cry. Which I828Please respect copyright.PENANAnb742mzvQe
didn't want to do. So what if I was still mad at Sam? I knew for a fact828Please respect copyright.PENANAtd4T5WDbLb
that I wasn't going to ignore Sam for long. And as much as I wanted to,828Please respect copyright.PENANAxrYSxeyQKu
I couldn't live without Sam. She's been my best friend for as long as I828Please respect copyright.PENANAAo910LasCV
could remember and I'm used with her being around. Without her, I'm 828Please respect copyright.PENANAcqQhFDtgQJ
nothing.828Please respect copyright.PENANA7GIQJPWflr
I've never told anyone 828Please respect copyright.PENANA7kGCBIaQ5u
this before, but I've always considered Sam as my better half. Not in a 828Please respect copyright.PENANAHkvz29J4HL
couple kind of thing (which is kind of gross by the way), but more like a828Please respect copyright.PENANACovmuog8s5
sister kind of thing. I am one person who is always prone to getting 828Please respect copyright.PENANAAqCsReWdoG
into trouble and Sam has always been the one to get me out of it. If it 828Please respect copyright.PENANAXLIERK9dyy
wasn't for Sam, I would have been a high school drop out or worse. I 828Please respect copyright.PENANACEswJohHqW
also wouldn't find myself as a famous singer in a pop group right now.828Please respect copyright.PENANA8mE73UyuZZ
I am Yin and she is 828Please respect copyright.PENANAXG4bHyLDVK
Yang, balancing my life and hers. But mostly mine. I fell we are the 828Please respect copyright.PENANA9M4kH4fzwj
perfect harmony when we are together even though I am not as perfect as 828Please respect copyright.PENANA87SjuSjUQw
she is. Maybe that's why I consider myself as Yin, the dark side and Sam828Please respect copyright.PENANAqEzJwi5QF3
the bright side. You see what I mean, right?828Please respect copyright.PENANAkgqWsKmtul
And now when I needed 828Please respect copyright.PENANA2Fh9YwVYev
her the most, I was stuck with no one to turn to. I couldn't open up to 828Please respect copyright.PENANAoWgAt0T4jb
her now and tell her what's going on in my life. I've gotten myself into828Please respect copyright.PENANAf3f6pLSF7y
big trouble this time around and there was no way of turning back or 828Please respect copyright.PENANAL51k7SVvHB
getting anyone involved to help. Not when you know you're involved in a 828Please respect copyright.PENANAsEaUzz2d2u
serious situation with a very dangerous person.828Please respect copyright.PENANAhZoJqu0P9A
It all begun when I went828Please respect copyright.PENANAIxoEIxv9ON
to Paris with G-Dragon, TOP and the other Toxins, excluding Sam. How I 828Please respect copyright.PENANAzbsfYkXfDi
wish she had come along with me that day. Maybe I wasn't going to be in 828Please respect copyright.PENANATii6uJKEA8
this mess.828Please respect copyright.PENANALw5WxR8FnY
We were having so much 828Please respect copyright.PENANAV9oxh31wnL
fun that night. We went for the Chanel fashion show as planned and it 828Please respect copyright.PENANAzT2hW5RgUP
was fun looking at the latest fashion being worn and showcased on the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAV1MiZd0Xo0
runway. At that time I felt on top of the world with what had happened 828Please respect copyright.PENANAZfTdN4kF5T
between G-Dragon and I at the Eiffle Tower. And I was so happy and 828Please respect copyright.PENANAGdu85jHSxq
pretty much oblivious that nothing could ever go wrong. But sadly, 828Please respect copyright.PENANA9rU3FtPeF8
things did go wrong.828Please respect copyright.PENANAsH5cOURhw8
As we were watching the 828Please respect copyright.PENANA4EfZU7y8wj
models, I was seated next to someone whom I hadn't really took notice 828Please respect copyright.PENANAIe8EIjAYAH
for a while since the fashion show started until he turned to look at me828Please respect copyright.PENANAUYlYjBHEs0
and said hi. He introduced himself as Jehan. He told me he was French.828Please respect copyright.PENANANfVnjBBeHT
When I looked at him, he828Please respect copyright.PENANA7SlrX5agMr
seemed like a really nice guy. He was also very handsome. He recognised828Please respect copyright.PENANA509F4KScn3
me as one of the Toxins and said he was a huge fan. We talked for a 828Please respect copyright.PENANAKbOUNAQt0M
while during the show and for a moment there, we seemed to be getting 828Please respect copyright.PENANAMNaS9WMBgm
along just fine. I also introduced him to the others. It was after the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4N06q4A3N
fashion show that I realised I was dead wrong about him.828Please respect copyright.PENANA3FVTskZ6X5
After the show when 828Please respect copyright.PENANAyETb289LmO
everyone was busy finding themselves among groups and indulging into 828Please respect copyright.PENANAJxwqFSUraK
some random conversation, Jehan, said that he wanted to talk to me in 828Please respect copyright.PENANAUZeDKWdGLe
private. I didn't like the idea of leaving the others while I went out 828Please respect copyright.PENANAVTICZUV7vZ
with someone I barely even knew. But he did say it was only going to 828Please respect copyright.PENANA4oLxBQF39R
take a few minutes.828Please respect copyright.PENANAsi9LpGRIK9
I didn't find anything 828Please respect copyright.PENANAm4ZwCVbGXS
wrong with it and I agreed to go out with him for a while. Besides, I 828Please respect copyright.PENANA6BygZomSCX
was getting too much attention and going out looked like a good idea at 828Please respect copyright.PENANAbP38QLOrEi
the time. Without telling G-Dragon who was with TOP and the others 828Please respect copyright.PENANAvKxF5VTJW5
talking to some famous fashion designers, I knew they wouldn't miss me 828Please respect copyright.PENANAnYhUre8j7y
too much.828Please respect copyright.PENANAXFm4rqjrQX
Jehan led the way out 828Please respect copyright.PENANAVfz3I2CxkF
and we found ourselves outside. It was lovely and the night was cool as 828Please respect copyright.PENANAeU3DjiJaV9
we took a walk around a small garden outside the building. There were a 828Please respect copyright.PENANATosR3Pbbzn
few people outside, some near the fountain. At least there was an 828Please respect copyright.PENANARU1XZEamAK
assurance that if anything were to go wrong, there were witnesses. With 828Please respect copyright.PENANABQdVr7Jv2y
that I felt a little safe.828Please respect copyright.PENANALfDiHLIydg
The two of us soon found828Please respect copyright.PENANApMEQhOHmiu
ourselves indulged in some conversation. Before I knew it, we were all 828Please respect copyright.PENANAchcXz5r53B
alone in the garden and that's when Jehan took the opportunity to 828Please respect copyright.PENANA4vL1fqEaxj
threaten me. It was something I hadn't told anyone about because what 828Please respect copyright.PENANAVCy4aACk3w
happened frightened me. And coming from a person like Jehan, you could 828Please respect copyright.PENANAkfa7kLZtep
doubt that such a guy like him would ever do such a thing. Yet alone on a828Please respect copyright.PENANAYiXHwwTbhc
lady. He said if I didn't do whatever he said, he wouldn't hesitate to 828Please respect copyright.PENANAzSIlkNGSE6
hunt me down and kill me. I believed his threats because he was pointing828Please respect copyright.PENANAdxedzFxlPH
a gun at me and his face went from sweet and kind to dangerous and 828Please respect copyright.PENANASbj0v6iHw2
menacing.828Please respect copyright.PENANAKsPi7mDPQf
He gave me something for828Please respect copyright.PENANAILYFbfVY0n
me to keep safe and not to let anyone know about it. He said he would 828Please respect copyright.PENANAVnXsKE2cQO
follow me to Korea and get it. He was the same person I had met at the 828Please respect copyright.PENANANRg38Tbol5
café and when I gave him the item back, he said there was more that had 828Please respect copyright.PENANAiDThvi3GwQ
to be done. When I asked what he meant, he didn't say anything. All he 828Please respect copyright.PENANAnNgUg7YPnt
said was that something was going to be sent to me back at the hotel in 828Please respect copyright.PENANAt9qLeWtgRG
the name of The Toxins. That's how the teddy bear came in.828Please respect copyright.PENANAbMCdImET0y
Whatever he sent me that828Please respect copyright.PENANAtofkm5323l
teddy bear for, I have no idea. And when I talked to him about what I 828Please respect copyright.PENANAptZmtfh5y9
should do with it yesterday, he said he would meet with me and give me 828Please respect copyright.PENANA1pMqagdvQr
further instructions. And I couldn't meet up with him because of what 828Please respect copyright.PENANAQe8euNJXvl
happened yesterday.828Please respect copyright.PENANAcS77QtOxzg
I had never been in this828Please respect copyright.PENANAqOh08KB8AT
situation before and all I wanted was for all this to be over. But how?828Please respect copyright.PENANAwdEPbNb5Cz
Unless I come up with a plan, I was going to be threatened for the rest828Please respect copyright.PENANA3erLkxvdr1
of my life and that's how I didn't want my life to be. I'm Zoey for 828Please respect copyright.PENANAwYhYWY1YM3
crying out loud. I had to do something.828Please respect copyright.PENANA0JTHxllhRB
My phone rang bringing 828Please respect copyright.PENANAJrMhpOY1Mi
me back from my thoughts. Christine who was looking out the window, 828Please respect copyright.PENANAhIXD0kGKoc
turned to look at me. I went to looking at the phone laying right beside828Please respect copyright.PENANAMKhqwQq2zV
me. When I saw that Jehan was calling, I froze.828Please respect copyright.PENANAOdU3RJJUIv
"Aren't you going to answer that?" Christine asked, as I delayed to pick up the call.828Please respect copyright.PENANAE7YDAsw5F0
"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.828Please respect copyright.PENANA7d8aGhKmvG
"Hello?" I answered. I almost gave out a croak when I spoke.828Please respect copyright.PENANAzoNmi8imdG
"Nice to hear that you're still answering my calls. Shows that you're cooperating."828Please respect copyright.PENANAmO10dNwU7N
I would have told him to828Please respect copyright.PENANAOBwMPzuMdw
mind his own beeswax but I couldn't with Christine in the room staring 828Please respect copyright.PENANA9M5AnODL4h
at me like an eagle. Was she observing me? I couldn't tell.828Please respect copyright.PENANAx8Dd9hE0Gc
"I'm great and you?" I said over the phone with a smile. Christine ignored me and went back to looking at the window.828Please respect copyright.PENANADtwREw6PcP
"Looks like you aren't 828Please respect copyright.PENANALwLwtY0GSe
alone," said Jehan. I could hear in his voice that he wanted to chuckle.828Please respect copyright.PENANA8JPbLMRVgi
"You wouldn't have answered so nicely like you rarely do."828Please respect copyright.PENANA3gBCkvxU8Q
"May I help you with anything?" I asked as nicely as I could. He was already getting on my nerves.828Please respect copyright.PENANAuytic7DnQJ
"Relax, my little tigress. I could tell I'm getting on your nerves and that won't be good for you now, would it?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAAAgVCvctS3
"Just get to the point, 828Please respect copyright.PENANA4HzVbI3qzm
will you?" I snapped, losing my cool. Christine turned to look at me. I 828Please respect copyright.PENANAd8RhWDR4FJ
smiled as best as I could that I was afraid my face would tear.828Please respect copyright.PENANA28UswYj9lP
"I want us to meet, today," said Jehan. There was a touch of coldness to his voice and that sent chills down my spine.828Please respect copyright.PENANAhI9CJlLrQZ
"Today? Are you serious?"828Please respect copyright.PENANA2W7Y9LYtxO
"You know that I am. We meet today."828Please respect copyright.PENANAskYDzwil0v
"But where?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAG141JUGdkU
"At the mall."828Please respect copyright.PENANAIClVUSX5dg
For a moment I almost 828Please respect copyright.PENANAoNfKrzYBfG
burst out laughing, but I held my mouth. I wondered why he would want to828Please respect copyright.PENANATR0RPSkfyK
meet me at the mall. I was expecting the café again or some fancy 828Please respect copyright.PENANAUqf0GJfGc5
restaurant. To me, he didn't strike me as one person who would want to 828Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ9AzLfa4I
hang out at the mall. That's what made it seem so funny to me.828Please respect copyright.PENANAWK0Pd6BdNM
"What's so funny?" Jehan828Please respect copyright.PENANAIUNyhOmgIC
asked sternly. He knew I was almost about to burst out laughing. The 828Please respect copyright.PENANAdgBmLFdnkU
tone of his voice almost did the trick but I still took a hold of 828Please respect copyright.PENANA6W2p1qYkIw
myself.828Please respect copyright.PENANA2kNSHyWb43
"Nothing, I wanted to sneeze but held it. That's all."828Please respect copyright.PENANA6N4nNGR0Ph
"You better be telling the truth or else I will blow your brains out."828Please respect copyright.PENANAdfDFwtoVTY
If he thought saying 828Please respect copyright.PENANAbPnTgfS5ZU
that would get me scared, it didn't. I pulled the phone far away from me828Please respect copyright.PENANAFkvTJd15dQ
and laughed quietly. Then I put the phone back to my ear.828Please respect copyright.PENANABVVUK3XHDU
"I don't think I would be able to meet you," I said, choosing my words carefully in front of Christine.828Please respect copyright.PENANAnWYE6l0dtL
"I don't care. You're meeting with me whether you like it or not."828Please respect copyright.PENANAWbWxDceu0n
"Mmm. Even if I wanted to, I don't know how I'm going to get there."828Please respect copyright.PENANAauwPblQHC8
"A car will be waiting to take you within fifteen minutes. You better get ready. And don't forget the teddy."828Please respect copyright.PENANA3DQq0FaubN
"Ya, sure."828Please respect copyright.PENANA7PSqs6q8Ta
Jehan didn't say 828Please respect copyright.PENANA7KNhDvy8wY
anything more and cut the call. He was so rude. Bossing me around just 828Please respect copyright.PENANAYYgkuSuHxc
because he could do whatever he wants with a gun pointed to my head. 828Please respect copyright.PENANAW2bcSCPLDv
Typical.828Please respect copyright.PENANANhsRWmOLpL
"Who was that?" Christine asked, looking at me.828Please respect copyright.PENANAZzydpJWpS0
"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."828Please respect copyright.PENANAVMVHAJCKLM
"Seriously?" Christine looked surprised. "Why would Seungri call you just to hang out?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAJmvgOiZdjZ
"Well, he wanted to talk to me about Sam. That's all."828Please respect copyright.PENANAUn0x17sA0g
"And you didn't refuse?" Christine had her arms folded and looking at me with doubt.828Please respect copyright.PENANAAoVU1SsnHx
"Why? You think I would?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAswjjCkYlRy
"Ya. The Zoey I know would refuse."828Please respect copyright.PENANAZtJVUToWZU
"He's just taking me to some fancy place. I couldn't refuse."828Please respect copyright.PENANAlC5ocHH9VC
"Ya, you always like the fancy stuff." Christine rolled her eyes as she looked up at the ceiling.828Please respect copyright.PENANADSHe7mZW2m
"Whatever happened to that teddy bear?" I asked, changing the topic.828Please respect copyright.PENANAsZQt69sYYd
"You mean the teddy bear you hate so much?" Christine came closer and sat down on the other side of her bed.828Please respect copyright.PENANAfZLcTwu5UB
"That one. Where is it?"828Please respect copyright.PENANADMv4iviMQn
"Why are you even asking?" Christine shrugged her shoulders.828Please respect copyright.PENANANa4jm7IhgH
"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."828Please respect copyright.PENANAOkyBhTNWa7
Christine looked over at Lee's bed across from her's.828Please respect copyright.PENANArTtxs3isXr
"I saw it on the bed yesterday. I don't know where she could have put it."828Please respect copyright.PENANA1tzC2q233Z
"Oh. Okay," I said, as I stood up with my eyes surveying Lee's bed. "I better get ready to meet Seungri, then."828Please respect copyright.PENANApvdF9dpz45
"Alright," said Christine as she also stood up. "I need to use the bathroom."828Please respect copyright.PENANA4aDessZ6HC
Christine went past me to the bathroom and closed the door behind her, locking it.828Please respect copyright.PENANA9IKEUKxdYL
I quietly went over to 828Please respect copyright.PENANAKy4qEQUvCx
Lee's bed. Her bed was well spread and pillows well placed. I couldn't 828Please respect copyright.PENANAPkpXFZlM9Z
see the teddy anywhere. I had to act fast or else Christine will be back828Please respect copyright.PENANANenHNSN59u
soon.828Please respect copyright.PENANAva2eceJxG9
I came to the drawer 828Please respect copyright.PENANAE7yJZ2pVyI
next to the bed and checked them, being careful enough not to make a 828Please respect copyright.PENANA12VdFyQ4BN
sound. Nothing. I almost started to panic. Where was the teddy?828Please respect copyright.PENANAWkRsrtZDNQ
I looked at her bed and 828Please respect copyright.PENANAISkmKA6s78
decided to check under the pillows. When I lifted one of them, there 828Please respect copyright.PENANAPbArjUdPrR
laid the teddy bear still in his tiny suit.828Please respect copyright.PENANAFbnh0KYyuA
"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."828Please respect copyright.PENANARgI4IJQ8ZX
I heard the tap in the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAgcu6IKTW4O
bathroom running. Christine was bound to be back in the room any second 828Please respect copyright.PENANA0j9fa6erg1
now. I quickly put the pillow back neatly and then tiptoed quickly out 828Please respect copyright.PENANA4jfclc2sTo
of the room with the teddy in my other hand. When I reached the door, I 828Please respect copyright.PENANAQPTVoFr4uq
quietly opened it and closed it behind me.828Please respect copyright.PENANAr11JGSwM50
***828Please respect copyright.PENANA5xvg3OeBtK
Sam's P.O.V828Please respect copyright.PENANAKdvIxrsJq0
"Do you really think 828Please respect copyright.PENANAizAcHuxMMd
that teddy carries something that will help us figure out what's going 828Please respect copyright.PENANAuVUYTGsUpq
on?" Lee asked as she took a sip of her smoothie, looking at me.828Please respect copyright.PENANATr95HdC4GD
"Definitely," I said as I got a french fry, dipped it in sauce and put it in my mouth.828Please respect copyright.PENANAHmk8zEmm1Q
"Okay, so far, Derrick has described his brother as a very dangerous guy. Is he some sort of criminal or something?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAVT8Odk7ysy
"For him to threaten Zoey, he must be. But if he really is a criminal, then what sort of crime does he do?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAt9VMUyB2jL
"I hope it's not drugs."828Please respect copyright.PENANA539CpKAOWC
"I hope not too." I shook my head at that terrible thought.828Please respect copyright.PENANADM2nv0b8qS
"What of gun trafficking?" Lee asked as she held her smoothie cup in midair.828Please respect copyright.PENANATXySKSt1KB
"No way." I asked as I drank from my smoothie.828Please respect copyright.PENANAsnvwVpa6tb
"So, what should we do with that teddy bear?"828Please respect copyright.PENANASbBxR3S37m
"Keep it away from her. Whatever that thing has, we have to know before she takes it away."828Please respect copyright.PENANAvBCfRCYmcp
"I wonder why she never kept it for herself. I mean, if she is being threatened, her life will depend on that teddy, right?"828Please respect copyright.PENANArh2PJhgG4B
"True." I nodded my head. "I bet she pretended to hate the teddy so that we don't get suspicious of anything."828Please respect copyright.PENANAxlFarJTtt6
"She did a pretty good job on that one."828Please respect copyright.PENANARL4zepW4KU
"Ya. But she was overreacting. Who could reject such a cute teddy bear like that one?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAy73ClLUBEJ
"Zoey."828Please respect copyright.PENANApaZS8FddzA
"Haha. Ya. I heard Zoey 828Please respect copyright.PENANAQs44FF34mK
talking to Derrick's brother. They were supposed to meet yesterday but 828Please respect copyright.PENANAc10R6QoKRb
they couldn't because of our little fight."828Please respect copyright.PENANAA4msM7pyji
"Mmm." Lee took a fry 828Please respect copyright.PENANARdh6Gp9zi4
and dipped it in sauce as she looked deep in thought. "Don't you think 828Please respect copyright.PENANAu4HX3giJIH
the two would try to meet today, no matter what?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAxcbZ8h8Jov
I raised an eyebrow at 828Please respect copyright.PENANAQEUKVzMOTj
her. Come to think of it, I was supposed to be keeping an eye on Zoey. 828Please respect copyright.PENANAr1pIXlFu9m
But here I was, eating fries. I completely forgot.828Please respect copyright.PENANAFtuCFXGPry
"Shoot!" I said loudly 828Please respect copyright.PENANAr6A0AWIekh
as I leaned my head back with my eyes closed. I bet everyone around me 828Please respect copyright.PENANALiZSMfQyu9
was wondering what was wrong with me since I was so loud. I hit my head 828Please respect copyright.PENANAm2xyjPBe39
with my hand. "You're so right, Lee."828Please respect copyright.PENANARZtjriNBP5
"About what?" Lee asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANA1OaWasjjJj
"About Zoey meeting him today. I should have been more aware."828Please respect copyright.PENANAswn2H5iMuw
"But do you think they would? I was just suggesting."828Please respect copyright.PENANANkifglr36X
"But today might be the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAdzjqvxnYhV
perfect time for them to meet. We are here, the boys are busy playing 828Please respect copyright.PENANAS5txnZxGRU
video games and Zoey might find a way to dodge Christine to go out."828Please respect copyright.PENANAMGOiRTzKzs
"Hopefully not. If she is going to meet him today, then she might take the teddy with her."828Please respect copyright.PENANA29Up7ZkzNY
My heart rate quickened 828Please respect copyright.PENANA2XOS4ujozA
at the thought of Zoey meeting Derrick's brother. I was scared. What if 828Please respect copyright.PENANAMRxme4sr6y
she sees him today and things don't go well this time around?828Please respect copyright.PENANA93Scjv0zhb
"If I were you, I would give Zoey a call," said Lee. She obviously saw the worried look on my face.828Please respect copyright.PENANA4oORGAcicz
"No, you do it," I said shaking my head. "She isn't going to answer my call."828Please respect copyright.PENANA90YwNNU8vM
"Oh, yeah," said Lee as she took out her phone from her handbag and called Zoey.828Please respect copyright.PENANAa6kvLGV95w
"She isn't picking up," said Lee as she looked at her phone. "She must have switched her phone off."828Please respect copyright.PENANAgIJLqhtYAI
"She must have gone to see him. Call Christine and ask about Zoey."828Please respect copyright.PENANAHzGk5VC5X7
Lee went back to her phone and immediately called Christine. Christine picked up immediately.828Please respect copyright.PENANA4x6TVSTuNd
"Hey, Christine," said Lee as she looked over at me and I watched her intently. "I wanted to ask if Zoey is with you."828Please respect copyright.PENANAqGPmfw6gPp
There was a pause as Lee listened to Christine over the phone. Lee's face changed completely.828Please respect copyright.PENANARhh2vOiFl4
"Alright, thanks, 828Please respect copyright.PENANAcJ5YhCggdr
Christine," said Lee as she cut the call and looked at me. "Zoey had 828Please respect copyright.PENANAtX8TrgaSVn
left the hotel a few minutes ago. Christine says she went out with 828Please respect copyright.PENANAcbwLoNFkub
Seungri."828Please respect copyright.PENANAbqkp7sW9Ow
I raised an eyebrow. "Seungri? Why would Seungri meet with Zoey? I bet she lied."828Please respect copyright.PENANAPWhkWVV4vv
"Of course she did. She has obviously gone to meet with this guy."828Please respect copyright.PENANAs5TLMLWTC4
"Did Christine say where she had gone?"828Please respect copyright.PENANA24gP29Jqr5
"No. Zoey wasn't specific. All Christine said was that she and Seungri were going to some fancy place."828Please respect copyright.PENANAphgvHCjAO0
I suddenly decided to get my phone from my purse and called Seungri. He answered the call immediately.828Please respect copyright.PENANAiuZgi6l3mS
"Hey, BK," he said so enthusiastically over the phone. "How are you?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAvTBwj5K8SY
"I'm fine, Seungri, thanks," I said, immediately jumping to the point. "Where are you?"828Please respect copyright.PENANA2RRdSxHb8x
"I'm in my car heading to GD's. Is there anything I could do for you?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAtGSjZtvHIg
"Uh, no, nothing. Was just asking. Are you alone?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAlGbnVmdbOz
"Yes, I am." I could 828Please respect copyright.PENANAiMf5Ri0CGk
already imagine a smile on his face and I had to get ready for a 828Please respect copyright.PENANAjZDbRIS9FF
ridiculous question to follow. "Why? You think I'm with someone? A woman828Please respect copyright.PENANAE4tSTrojkk
perhaps?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAShyxbbqpc5
I rolled my eyes and as 828Please respect copyright.PENANAWbQ35REnKn
much as I wanted to remain stoic and not laugh, I did. I quickly tried 828Please respect copyright.PENANAyuQhGsgEnl
to cover it up, but Seungri also heard it and chuckled. Lee looked at me828Please respect copyright.PENANAn4zqHwhBwX
with an eyebrow raised as I laughed out loud this time around.828Please respect copyright.PENANAx67UNzFuBd
"What makes you think that?" I asked after recovering from my laugh.828Please respect copyright.PENANANMncjtyTxg
"For you to call, I'm guessing you must have been thinking of me and tried to see what I'm up to."828Please respect copyright.PENANAViFnLDvaIO
I bit my lower lip and 828Please respect copyright.PENANAVzjaHi6QJR
shook my head. If only he knew why I called. But I had to admit, he was 828Please respect copyright.PENANAJcz9pJYnfL
really making me laugh even when I didn't want to.828Please respect copyright.PENANAGf3567JVFF
"It's really nothing, Seungri. I just wanted to say hi."828Please respect copyright.PENANAh0PKnHJoKO
"Well, if you say so." I knew he wasn't buying it. "Where are you?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAiN7mhLUINi
"I'm at the mall with Lee."828Please respect copyright.PENANA7cTOBxBhXZ
"Okay, you have fun now. You will need it."828Please respect copyright.PENANAODtiyvQGW7
"Bye."828Please respect copyright.PENANArhqYRKZ5HE
"Bye, my little kitty."828Please respect copyright.PENANAmhsuUEepHw
"Well, that was some conversation," said Lee as I put my phone away.828Please respect copyright.PENANAYrdTZCUVyp
"Ya, it was," I said still with a smile on my face.828Please respect copyright.PENANABX1kzC4Ayd
"So, he isn't with Zoey?"828Please respect copyright.PENANACeHWnd2gHE
"Nope. And he isn't 828Please respect copyright.PENANAYrFMSi4ERJ
going to some fancy place either." I paused as the smile on my face 828Please respect copyright.PENANA21Wyyl9TRL
disappeared. "He's gone to see G-Dragon."828Please respect copyright.PENANAgVYwollj2g
"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."828Please respect copyright.PENANA4TEjteTm8M
"You're right," I said. "But where can we even start to look? This time, I'm blank."828Please respect copyright.PENANAl5W3ppbqdh
"Maybe they are going to meet at the café again."828Please respect copyright.PENANAJQjiH4eEBE
I shook my head. "I highly doubt it. Even if we were to guess where they could meet, it would probably be too late."828Please respect copyright.PENANAF6CnsN3Uzd
Lee sighed as she folded her arms. "Well, this has turned out to be such a bust."828Please respect copyright.PENANAM9DSz1zsvR
"Tell me about it." I 828Please respect copyright.PENANA6IkruzZu6j
put my elbows on the table and held my head in my hands. "I shouldn't 828Please respect copyright.PENANANhPiTSFXgA
have allowed this to happen. I shouldn't have been so absent minded."828Please respect copyright.PENANAUBIDrLhN1p
"Don't beat yourself up, Sam," said Lee. "Maybe it's time we told Zoey what we already know."828Please respect copyright.PENANAZZFKxhVgZU
I nodded. We were now caught in a dead end and maybe it was time we involved the others too.828Please respect copyright.PENANAp3WrUS5hit
After we were done with 828Please respect copyright.PENANA2GHErOFVZF
lunch, we paid for the meal, carried our shopping bags with us and with 828Please respect copyright.PENANAEvDfnYJGsI
our body guards following behind, we headed out of the mall.828Please respect copyright.PENANApAOg0QXSU3
As soon as we walked out828Please respect copyright.PENANAz1qBzJJu6P
through the main entrance, a fancy looking red Ferrari was parked right828Please respect copyright.PENANAYC98smze81
in front of us in the parking lot. Just as we were about to bypass the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAhYE321l5Fu
car, the door to the driver's seat flew open and a man in a fancy 828Please respect copyright.PENANAumCWY3ChM2
looking black suit stepped out.828Please respect copyright.PENANA2iitJ7wAth
Time seemed to have 828Please respect copyright.PENANAk9qC4XBSx6
stopped when I looked at the man from the corner of my eye. He was tall 828Please respect copyright.PENANAurB7VZqMyu
and handsome with a strong jaw and black shiny hair which was combed 828Please respect copyright.PENANAibdSepLOd3
back. He had a pair of sunglasses on and I couldn't help but feel 828Please respect copyright.PENANAiFZbPjlXj8
something familiar about him.828Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5oYSO5lIM
Just as I was about to 828Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZDNx5LuKI
focus ahead, the man removed his shades and I fully turned to look at 828Please respect copyright.PENANAZOLNEx9FVk
him. My mouth almost dropped and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.828Please respect copyright.PENANAo1JoS7jOtT
I almost tripped and 828Please respect copyright.PENANAHpPxWZAViO
fell over on the road but I was quick to gather myself. Lee looked at me828Please respect copyright.PENANAWbV4jKhJiT
with concern because even the guards almost came to my rescue to stop 828Please respect copyright.PENANAi46jYbOTFa
me from falling.828Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZGnnnR213
"Are you okay, Sam?" Lee asked as she looked at me. "You almost fell."828Please respect copyright.PENANAbem0yPOGYH
I didn't say a word as I828Please respect copyright.PENANA1eSQMqtDgd
looked behind me where the Ferrari was packed and I noticed the man go 828Please respect copyright.PENANAJNhsNM5fjW
inside the mall. I turned to look at Lee.828Please respect copyright.PENANASXVgGj5iRm
"We need to go back, Lee," I said.828Please respect copyright.PENANAJzht1oJJVS
"But why? You're scaring me Sam. It's look like you have seen a ghost."828Please respect copyright.PENANArpUlfzQJJV
"Trust me, Lee. We need to go back. We have to put these bags away first."828Please respect copyright.PENANAjOdkTi3atA
"May I please know what's going on with you?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAgq2TKxHWcI
"I know where Zoey and Derrick's brother are going to meet. They will be meeting here. At the mall."828Please respect copyright.PENANAI8qq2WBYvM

Narrator's P.O.V828Please respect copyright.PENANAsrwarZzcjE
Seungri came into G-Dragon's apartment and found TOP, Taeyang and G-Dragon, who was still in his pyjamas, in the living room.828Please respect copyright.PENANAyRp58pwRrk
"Hey guys, am here," 828Please respect copyright.PENANApsvlJSNNYE
annouced Seungri as he sat down on the couch next to Taeyang. "You guys 828Please respect copyright.PENANALP1xg7zLtR
look downcast as though someone's just died."828Please respect copyright.PENANAQKBIBFzFqU
"Ji Yong still doesn't want to talk things out with Sam," said TOP.828Please respect copyright.PENANAGCTEE2dj1l
"This is getting real 828Please respect copyright.PENANAToGQTAvD1i
frustrating, guys," said G-Dragon who was hugging a couch pillow close 828Please respect copyright.PENANAUgzK0z8xlv
to him and looking down on the floor. "Now isn't the time to talk with 828Please respect copyright.PENANAFocOSKr7bX
her or with anyone of you."828Please respect copyright.PENANAc57XVdxw9K
"No, I think now is the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAQe6XX0ytal
time to solve things with her," said Taeyang. "We will be working on the828Please respect copyright.PENANANu1qc9bqIv
music video soon and we can't do this if you two aren't on good terms."828Please respect copyright.PENANAJTnZqVgBIc
"And let's not forget, Zoey," said Seungri.828Please respect copyright.PENANAZlZtOVxsbF
"Zoey is a whole lot tougher to talk to," said G-Dragon. "I already did my part and told her the truth."828Please respect copyright.PENANAzUVh0JEOlc
"Well, you shouldn't have led her on if you knew you had feelings for Sam," said Taeyang.828Please respect copyright.PENANAlxtkA6DGA0
"Let's not forget, Daesung also has feelings for her," said TOP.828Please respect copyright.PENANAcvo9ctxPi8
"And me," said Seungri with a corky smile on his face.828Please respect copyright.PENANArd3OtG5DEo
"Oh, stop joking around, Seungri," said G-Dragon, with a frown on his face.828Please respect copyright.PENANAV5D0lZcyVR
"For real," said Seungri raising his hands in the air admitting to the truth. "I also like Sam."828Please respect copyright.PENANAdhIbAthpDL
The others rolled their 828Please respect copyright.PENANAxZAbQDNxAf
eyes at Seungri, obviously not taking him seriously. He usually jokes 828Please respect copyright.PENANA6ku9XC0hae
around and now wasn't the time for it.828Please respect copyright.PENANAzlLWMHNiOA
"Look, I know leading Zoey on was a big mistake, but I'm more angry at Sam than at myself," said G-Dragon.828Please respect copyright.PENANALlAsuhubxb
"Why? Because Sam and Daesung kissed?" Seungri asked with an eyebrow raised.828Please respect copyright.PENANAvYRh7dWnuP
G-Dragon didn't answer immediately. He looked like he was about to jump at Seungri and tear him apart.828Please respect copyright.PENANAmECk745BtF
"Well, maybe," said 828Please respect copyright.PENANAOz3ZJGO0z9
G-Dragon. "The thing is, the day Zoey went missing, she and I had a talk828Please respect copyright.PENANAa4Kl1EiUBt
in the park about the same thing. She figured out that I liked her so 828Please respect copyright.PENANAo1HlB1hzXr
she told me to break things up with Zoey."828Please respect copyright.PENANA4pcxUmIQQC
"And why didn't you do that sooner?" TOP asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANArr3vGATwaa
"When I saw Daesung and 828Please respect copyright.PENANA6l1Y4u6mZZ
Sam so close the next day, I couldn't help it. I had a feeling they 828Please respect copyright.PENANAGqWS61h590
kissed though I didn't see it for myself. That's what made me so mad."828Please respect copyright.PENANAfsvrE3uzN0
"And you still are," said Taeyang.828Please respect copyright.PENANAkzFikOwmq5
G-Dragon didn't answer 828Please respect copyright.PENANAbmH1g4O0kU
as he looked down at his fingers, looking as if he was ready to bite 828Please respect copyright.PENANAuYvsXHhFid
them out of anger. "Yes," he replied slowly.828Please respect copyright.PENANAWwE0cWhWqs
"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."828Please respect copyright.PENANAADwZCVFs3u
"What do you mean?" 828Please respect copyright.PENANA2y3NQHYdae
G-Dragon asked as he looked up at Seungri. "Sam didn't tell me anything 828Please respect copyright.PENANAsWZFzmbRUf
about Daesung and yet she told me not be with Zoey anymore."828Please respect copyright.PENANATSdkuk5PLf
"She was just doing that828Please respect copyright.PENANAzIDgtqLQl2
to protect Zoey because she figured out that you like her instead of 828Please respect copyright.PENANAoulWEQwBle
her best friend," said Taeyang. "And besides, we all heard your little 828Please respect copyright.PENANATNGbJxjMla
argument. She and Daesung also talked and also agreed that they cannot 828Please respect copyright.PENANAtjmEX02Jlk
be together."828Please respect copyright.PENANABeKsNlAu6J
"I still don't believe all that," said G-Dragon.828Please respect copyright.PENANADHMbDFsLFz
"You better believe it, Ji Yong," came Daesung's voice by the door. "Sam never meant to hurt anyone. Not even you."828Please respect copyright.PENANAjQE5C6yp7x
All the four BigBang 828Please respect copyright.PENANACfrVy7y3O5
members in the living area, turned towards the door. Daesung stood there828Please respect copyright.PENANAbOw4zoMgq6
looking at them. The others were a little surprised that they hadn't 828Please respect copyright.PENANAMueHjuxJnS
heard him come in.828Please respect copyright.PENANAwr7tTYuSPA
"It's good you're here," said Seungri. "You also have a lot of explaining to do."828Please respect copyright.PENANA8RrTMhIVX5
"No, he doesn't," said G-Dragon.828Please respect copyright.PENANAdoUOpE6BIZ
"Yes, I do," said Daesung. "All this has to be cleared up once and for all."828Please respect copyright.PENANAKGDuvPZlFI
"True," said TOP. G-Dragon who sat beside him gave him an angry stare. TOP shrugged. "What?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAX4g9qIlZTB
"I'm not going to stay 828Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6TiJeBbFA
here and listen to this," said G-Dragon as he stood up from the couch. 828Please respect copyright.PENANAH6VfI0PwT5
"If you need me, I'll be in my room."828Please respect copyright.PENANAmL6TbzXhT3
"No wait, you have to hear me out," said Daesung.828Please respect copyright.PENANAKlZQBLO8sV
"No, I don't."828Please respect copyright.PENANAO8VuGGDZFX
Before G-Dragon could 828Please respect copyright.PENANAJ38iDpnSWr
take a step in the direction of his room, TOP held his arm and pulled 828Please respect copyright.PENANAEPyqy8uNYl
him down. G-Dragon sat right back on the couch.828Please respect copyright.PENANAbwQHeWELSm
"You aren't going anyway," said TOP.828Please respect copyright.PENANAyrKFqrcHgH
"Come on, man, seriously!" G-Dragon complained.828Please respect copyright.PENANAvElLw6Ggmo
"Let's hear what Daesung has to say, alright?" Taeyang suggested.828Please respect copyright.PENANAsCvKJawsnk
G-Dragon folded his arms828Please respect copyright.PENANArlv5quvQQF
and looked at the others like an angry child who was told to do 828Please respect copyright.PENANAc7WYeZSYJV
something that he didn't want to do. He finally rolled his eyes and 828Please respect copyright.PENANAPFfQojEXAp
stared at the ceiling.828Please respect copyright.PENANAGjul63bp7D
"Fine," he said. Then he looked at Daesung. "Go ahead."828Please respect copyright.PENANACEjL7pXt1o
Daesung came into the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAD62zWNMygn
living area and didn't take a seat. He stood there in front of the TV 828Please respect copyright.PENANAku1mz20kWj
for everyone to get his attention. His eyes locked with G-Dragon's.828Please respect copyright.PENANAK7BVrJJBZf
"Look, I know you're 828Please respect copyright.PENANAx4lMVgJKUy
probably mad and want to kill me right now," started Daesung. "But first828Please respect copyright.PENANAngdht60Nnx
thing's first, I had no idea that you had something for Sam and she 828Please respect copyright.PENANAH4BVzl1FDm
never told me anything either."828Please respect copyright.PENANAP7uaEGBnZ6
"Do you really like her?" G-Dragon asked, looking at Daesung with so much intent.828Please respect copyright.PENANAEc14X2amTG
"Yes, I won't deny it. I thought she and I might make our relationship work, but she didn't think that way."828Please respect copyright.PENANAK6zBsmpcWw
"Why?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAbxKQ8B2kRx
"She just felt like it 828Please respect copyright.PENANAimsmbQL6OB
wasn't going to work. That's what she told me. She wasn't going to stay 828Please respect copyright.PENANASSE0jw2YvQ
here for long. And judging by that, she doesn't look like one who thinks828Please respect copyright.PENANA7ozUQ3nshz
long distance relationships will ever work out."828Please respect copyright.PENANAayIjIULYDu
"Then, why did you kiss her?"828Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZE7uPdrto
"Because I know I'll 828Please respect copyright.PENANAOaevWL2ZZC
never get a chance to do so. Sam is a great person and calling her great828Please respect copyright.PENANAeqHGoCBmcf
is an understatement because she is way beyond that. And I see 828Please respect copyright.PENANAGOGjbyAw6p
something in her that I've never seen in any other girl before. I could 828Please respect copyright.PENANAaT9wr9CTzM
tell you also see it in her too. She is also one person who wouldn't 828Please respect copyright.PENANAIMYTkRRLw1
want to hurt anyone either.828Please respect copyright.PENANARG4qgDv2tv
"Maybe that's why she 828Please respect copyright.PENANAh8IrxwtJ7Y
didn't want anything to do with me either because she knew you would 828Please respect copyright.PENANAPwAEO1BY2e
also get hurt. But unfortunately, you already had a hunch about our kiss828Please respect copyright.PENANAivy1LZe0YI
and I could see that it really hurt you a lot."828Please respect copyright.PENANAZr8lHw29AH
"Ya, it did," said G-Dragon as he looked somewhere else, his mind on Sam.828Please respect copyright.PENANA5rOuLxshJ5
"Now, are you going to talk to her?" Daesung asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANAQHu0Q4se0o
"What?" G-Dragon turned to look back at Daesung with a confused look on his face.828Please respect copyright.PENANAany7q80p06
"Aren't you going to talk to Sam?" Daesung asked again. "All this wasn't entirely her fault."828Please respect copyright.PENANA1vJ8Zcbt08
"I know."828Please respect copyright.PENANAVXFSvrSLef
"So, you will talk to her, then?" TOP asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANARM08tjg4TO
"I'll think about it."828Please respect copyright.PENANAST0Dz7Tnqz
"No, no, no!" Seungri 828Please respect copyright.PENANAsrQMwy0mbM
waved his finger at G-Dragon. "That's it! You're always stubborn and you828Please respect copyright.PENANAjVUlu3B8rj
want things to be done your way. Go and take a shower. We're going to 828Please respect copyright.PENANA6fQ3XO38oQ
the mall."828Please respect copyright.PENANA2AIhiUWKdK
Everyone turned to look at Seungri and wondered if he had hit his head or something.828Please respect copyright.PENANAuCcfUOMEVz
"Huh?" Taeyang shook his head, trying to understand if he had heard right. "Did you just say the mall?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAcmZdyLSIOa
"Ya," said Seungri, 828Please respect copyright.PENANAoP2KLUpDl2
shaking his head. "We're going to the mall. Sam is there and I think 828Please respect copyright.PENANAAPmqNGfykL
this will be a good time for the two of them to talk."828Please respect copyright.PENANAAxtFLi1P0y
"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."828Please respect copyright.PENANAm1a5mMUHsP
"There is no time to 828Please respect copyright.PENANASkLNvo4Emk
think about it," said TOP. "I'm not going to allow you to keep on doing 828Please respect copyright.PENANApQtPkjF8TJ
this to Sam. It's not right at all."828Please respect copyright.PENANAVUDVD73F52
"It's best you go, GD," said Daesung. "And we are all going with you so that you have no reason to escape."828Please respect copyright.PENANAYeuO9YxZp1
"No way," said G-Dragon. "You will have to force me into the shower if I'm leaving for the mall."828Please respect copyright.PENANAlh7RXkmoVK
"We're your best 828Please respect copyright.PENANAyboHtiPYC6
friends, so, no hard feelings," said Taeyang with a smirk on his face. 828Please respect copyright.PENANAiCzGTopo7I
He addressed the others, "guys, let's take him to the shower."828Please respect copyright.PENANAFBCkRA1hGp
"Wait! What!" G-Dragon looked horrified as the others came and quickly surrounded him. And there was no way of trying to escape.828Please respect copyright.PENANAJtMzSKma63

Zoey's P.O.V828Please respect copyright.PENANAECtJnFOeOF
I came out of the black 828Please respect copyright.PENANAGqLD9zW1bq
Mercedes as it stopped directly in front of the mall. I quickly put my 828Please respect copyright.PENANAlNDH72o9E1
shades on as I walked towards the entrance and I heard screams behind 828Please respect copyright.PENANA7njP2lXRfb
me. I smiled at the reaction and turned around to see a group of young 828Please respect copyright.PENANAgK8wszn2GY
teenagers, obviously having a fun time at the mall, giggling and waving 828Please respect copyright.PENANAnJRxuiqNk4
at me. I smiled and waved back and they screamed even more. I continued 828Please respect copyright.PENANASqLx2TUyN3
on my way into the mall, always liking the feeling of being recognized 828Please respect copyright.PENANAXglnu5OOrH
by my fans.828Please respect copyright.PENANAaEb3fhCoct
I pulled out my phone from my purse as I went on the escalator and called Jehan.828Please respect copyright.PENANACbIOwpiQG5
"I'm guessing you're already here," said Jehan as he picked up the call.828Please respect copyright.PENANAXSUHBHeytb
"Yes. Where are you?" I asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANAGV0kXuwKPY
"I'm at the Rolex store. Just go up the escalator and keep on moving forward. You'll find the store to your right."828Please respect copyright.PENANAPLMSGBPp8u
"Okay."828Please respect copyright.PENANA6pyEc9NucV
"Did you bring what I asked for?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAxIxIKmkY6w
I sighed in irritation. "I'm not that dumb not to bring it."828Please respect copyright.PENANAS3yw2Uqp50
"I was just asking. As much as you are blonde, I know you're good enough to blackmail me over the teddy bear."828Please respect copyright.PENANAfElBz7YJwu
"Well, I'm glad you 828Please respect copyright.PENANAkXlGeoDRAm
think I can blackmail you," I said as I reached the top and walked away 828Please respect copyright.PENANAHtjeO9D8Ka
from the escalator, walking ahead down the wide spaced hall as he had 828Please respect copyright.PENANA29WSt6l48z
instructed. "And for the record, I'm not blonde. I'm actually a whole 828Please respect copyright.PENANA6Bi7PciksN
lot smarter than you think."828Please respect copyright.PENANA88UMmyPH4o
"Just get over here," said Jehan, also sounding irritated and cutting the call.828Please respect copyright.PENANAC3p6MYedoS
"Mr Grumpy is such a 828Please respect copyright.PENANAE40ZcSqPPv
pain in the butt," I muttered as I put my phone away and looked around 828Please respect copyright.PENANAebhK2WueoK
for the Rolex store. It didn't take too long to find it.828Please respect copyright.PENANA28zxKiz69e
When I went into the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAcm139E4itk
fancy looking store showcasing fancy looking watches, I found Jehan by 828Please respect copyright.PENANAekgy129YXx
the counter, looking down at watches through the glass case.828Please respect copyright.PENANAmdMAzwl3L5
I stood right beside him and looked down at the watches.828Please respect copyright.PENANAbt2arpbfrj
"If I were you, I would go for that one," I said as I pointed at one of the watches.828Please respect copyright.PENANAKNQIe25W6a
"I don't need your opinion with anything, Zoey," said Jehan, his emerald green eyes looking at me.828Please respect copyright.PENANASyQELerqqg
I shivered. Despite his 828Please respect copyright.PENANAcbxfQTdPLh
good looks, he had a stare in his eyes that could make you drop dead in 828Please respect copyright.PENANAsVgjbOYPJT
seconds. I wondered why such a handsome man like him, could be so hard 828Please respect copyright.PENANA7uTlduRdYD
to the core. As much as it was scary, he gave me butterflies in my 828Please respect copyright.PENANAsdi7EYN7Os
stomach. Which to me is totally creepy.828Please respect copyright.PENANA8iE9eKnZ1J
"Now, that you're here," said Jehan, as he turned to fully look at me. "I can now get what I want."828Please respect copyright.PENANAP7hiu8LL7a
"May I ask why you sent this teddy bear to me?" I asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANAxuElAt1LNy
"Why do you need to 828Please respect copyright.PENANAFux8Xz1CiH
know?" Jehan asked as he stepped closer. He was too close that I could 828Please respect copyright.PENANAre3AfoxzKO
feel his breath on me. I almost trembled by his close presence.828Please respect copyright.PENANASFaFvc8p87
"Well, I need to know 828Please respect copyright.PENANAQSBSAB63IF
what you're up to, don't you think?" I asked, standing my ground. Him 828Please respect copyright.PENANAk9A0H5NcXK
being so close to me almost made my legs turn to jelly.828Please respect copyright.PENANAaYwx0YZe59
"And tell me, why should828Please respect copyright.PENANAnjUCHAWbEM
I tell you?" He leaned in closer. This time he spoke so softly that my 828Please respect copyright.PENANAjRTezvBQTR
heart fluttered. With that deep husky voice of his and his French 828Please respect copyright.PENANAZZWc6rwixh
accent, I was completely drawn to him. And not to mention his musky 828Please respect copyright.PENANAi4p5certc2
cologne, yum. It was just delicious.828Please respect copyright.PENANA5FYCH46znO
"I...eh..." I looked him828Please respect copyright.PENANAp0XCVmPyPT
in the eye and tried to focus but I couldn't. I cleared my throat. 828Please respect copyright.PENANATUoOdFR5QJ
"It's not fair. First, I came with that box from Paris. And then you 828Please respect copyright.PENANAPmSxYqdEXp
sent me a teddy which is highly unusual given that you don't look like 828Please respect copyright.PENANAL43HrhEVze
the kind who would send such a thing."828Please respect copyright.PENANAuVMfs7UH53
"Oh, really?" Jehan 828Please respect copyright.PENANAmrqK6XrYxJ
raised his eyebrow at me. I had to admit, he looked kind of hot when he 828Please respect copyright.PENANAObUMICYzsh
did so. "What makes you think I couldn't send such a cute teddy bear?"828Please respect copyright.PENANALS5hYAQqN3
"I don't know." I 828Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9iaYJuyAh
shrugged my shoulders. "You just don't seem like the guy who would. And 828Please respect copyright.PENANAAm3vz4NZCl
it was kind of weird if you ask me. But answer my question. What are you828Please respect copyright.PENANAZqyvVm9j9P
up to?"828Please respect copyright.PENANA37nd1B4ktk
Jehan gave me a smile that made me blush that I had to look down on the floor so that he wouldn't notice.828Please respect copyright.PENANAEo2MpOpG8w
"Fine, I'll tell you," said Jehan. "Let's go and have a little something to eat, shall we? We can talk from there."828Please respect copyright.PENANAVQ5ZHZX5Uh
"Whoa! Wait a minute," I said as I backed away from him, a little surprised. "You're willing to tell me?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAh6b3hKkQl5
"What's the matter with that?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAKLbhi91GKK
"I thought you would be hard to convince given that you're so mean."828Please respect copyright.PENANANcBetJRHdg
"Don't test my patience,828Please respect copyright.PENANA5QC78t8LNN
Zoey," said Jehan, his voice getting restless. "Just because I want to 828Please respect copyright.PENANAOEtLTHPNYh
tell you, doesn't mean you can take all this like a joke. Besides, I 828Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZOgLoPNA6
think you deserve to you know."828Please respect copyright.PENANARlQVumDNFy
"Well, yes, I do."828Please respect copyright.PENANAadBMDjAQPO
Jehan smirked. "Good. Follow me."828Please respect copyright.PENANATcidlOhLPm

Sam's P.O.V828Please respect copyright.PENANAdVg3GwJane

across the hall at the Rolex store. I was looking at clothes right next 828Please respect copyright.PENANAwxKcCkJo13
to the huge window display so that I could have a clear view of Zoey and828Please respect copyright.PENANA7IWy5235Yw
Derrick's brother. Lee was right behind me facing the opposite 828Please respect copyright.PENANAade3puoVnS

I was entirely grateful 828Please respect copyright.PENANA09V8ddEeWV
that the body guards had kept an eye out for Zoey when she came here to 828Please respect copyright.PENANA7VPrXCnRSC
the mall. They were the ones who told us that she had arrived and had 828Please respect copyright.PENANA0Mt1ZZfTPg
followed her to the Rolex store. I was just glad that she hadn't noticed828Please respect copyright.PENANA56yG9rMPMV
them. We were close by looking for Derrick's brother when the guards 828Please respect copyright.PENANA2nYtInVbJI
told us where Zoey was. We decided to go to the store opposite from 828Please respect copyright.PENANAgr1eM5it2z
where they were and keep an eye on them from now on.828Please respect copyright.PENANAtdmuie9Paz
"The man is so handsome," said Lee as she looked out the window. "I still can't believe that he is a bad guy."828Please respect copyright.PENANATL33CEocFs
"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.828Please respect copyright.PENANAIZO5izb6Id
"But how did you know 828Please respect copyright.PENANA9luWwwTiG9
that's Derrick's brother? I mean, you haven't seen him before and that 828Please respect copyright.PENANALFtCiEHjMQ
photo you showed me never revealed his face."828Please respect copyright.PENANAR8270yykWY
"True. It's because he looks so much like Derrick."828Please respect copyright.PENANAostBCL8M86
Lee turned to look at me with her mouth wide open. "For real! Do you mean, like twins?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAuOafsYyNo5
"Well, ya," I said as I 828Please respect copyright.PENANAG38ia5oHk7
looked at Derrick's brother who was standing so close to Zoey through 828Please respect copyright.PENANA4w3vQfeJrV
the window. "Maybe they are twins. They look so much alike. Except, 828Please respect copyright.PENANABzwRQbcN2t
Derrick has blue eyes and short brown curly hair."828Please respect copyright.PENANAjAhFxnWCvs
Lee turned to the window828Please respect copyright.PENANAPlCydWG4Fx
and I could tell she was observing Derrick's brother. "If he looks like828Please respect copyright.PENANAGvdQO6YkJi
that, I can easily picture how Derrick looks like."828Please respect copyright.PENANANaEO2hcy9G
"He's handsome too. Looks like it runs in the family."828Please respect copyright.PENANABVyprbNGKM
"Tell me about it. Too bad their mindsets are completely different."828Please respect copyright.PENANAPnrSKNJPSO
"Derrick did say he and his brother are completely different that they don't easily get along."828Please respect copyright.PENANAudUQJiOZg4
"Figures," said Lee as she went back to looking at clothes. "I wonder what he wants that teddy bear for."828Please respect copyright.PENANAFfoxYkED8Z
"I'm also wondering too," I said as I continued to be on high alert.828Please respect copyright.PENANADGnZ9LYvTX
Then, Zoey and Derrick's brother were walking out of the store. I hit Lee on the shoulder and she looked out the window.828Please respect copyright.PENANA7dD8gN9JWz
"Come on, let's go," I said and the two of us went out of the store.828Please respect copyright.PENANA3ynh7NOhLj
We made sure to keep a 828Please respect copyright.PENANAFAQ683CRkH
reasonable distance between Zoey and Derrick's brother as we followed 828Please respect copyright.PENANA37MtJWzhAN
them. Lucky for us, there were a lot of people around, so if either of 828Please respect copyright.PENANAbSxAAg1UxM
the two ever had a chance to look behind them, they wouldn't actually 828Please respect copyright.PENANALAx1c7A8yI
see us properly and we could easily pretend to walk away.828Please respect copyright.PENANABpssO4B3Xg
They went down the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAJRaQhWmfdp
escalators and we also followed. They reached the ground floor, took a 828Please respect copyright.PENANAwOcaSd3YZq
corner and went into some fancy looking Chinese restaurant. We stood 828Please respect copyright.PENANAsawwaT1la0
outside waiting at a nearby store to see where they were going to sit.828Please respect copyright.PENANA7jOPwCWWUa
They were led by a 828Please respect copyright.PENANAWDA7rF4Mvd
smartly dressed waiter to a table in the middle of the restaurant. 828Please respect copyright.PENANABDyL5F9nRD
Derrick's brother acting like a gentleman, helped Zoey with her chair 828Please respect copyright.PENANArjy7Hgat9K
and they were smiling at each other as though they were friends. I bet 828Please respect copyright.PENANAtvdyqZb8h6
they did that just to look normal in front of everyone in the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAgzPCoM5mwe
restaurant.828Please respect copyright.PENANAPamvm7ZUfI
"What are we going to do now?" Lee asked as she looked at me.828Please respect copyright.PENANAhB5EyXz4Al
"I don't know. We surely can't stay here forever. We need to get that teddy away from Derrick's brother," I said.828Please respect copyright.PENANAbAojdYqCEf
"Why don't I just join them? In that way, I can ruin their plans if I'm around."828Please respect copyright.PENANA5k6xmzZKjZ
"That sounds like a good idea, but won't he get suspicious?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAEXNNPGqlWP
"I doubt it. But we have to do something. I'm not going to let that teddy bear get away."828Please respect copyright.PENANAvjMDZR6CDW
"Me neither. But what to828Please respect copyright.PENANAfwWtDPRv9l
do?" I tapped my chin with my index finger impatiently as I looked 828Please respect copyright.PENANA3MSZ9g0cLB
through the restaurant's window at Zoey and Derrick's brother.828Please respect copyright.PENANABBvHJt3wAC
I felt my phone beep in my purse and I quickly removed it. Seungri was calling.828Please respect copyright.PENANAvyWlEGmTGO
"Hey, Seungri, what's up?" I answered, turning away from the restaurant.828Please respect copyright.PENANA3fYKK7uYZz
"I wanted to ask, are you still at the mall?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAi4MWsvYgtt
My mind started working. "Yes, I am. What's wrong?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAAUJ58WYZqk
"Nothing. I just wanted to ask. I'm heading there right now and I was hoping if I could join you."828Please respect copyright.PENANA5PFGXhWo47
Bingo! If Seungri could come here, he might just interrupt Zoey's meeting. And I knew just what to do.828Please respect copyright.PENANAdSK7BWSjxH
"Uh, ya, you can. How far are you from the mall?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAKEWQZsgut2
"I'll be there in two minutes, I'm almost there."828Please respect copyright.PENANAFm4wZFV6hp
"Perfect. Call me when you get here." I cut the call.828Please respect copyright.PENANAb3n2UHaImn
"Are you crazy?" Lee looked at me with a surprised look on her face. "Why do you want Seungri here?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAGnv3hHJCx4
"Don't worry. Seungri 828Please respect copyright.PENANAr0FEkBPRW6
will be perfect for the plan. I'm afraid Derrick's brother will get too 828Please respect copyright.PENANAcNVPe0Hahk
suspicious if you go in there. Besides, Zoey knows you went out with me 828Please respect copyright.PENANA2xTJWYGXGb
and she will know something fishy is going on."828Please respect copyright.PENANAqj9bQLxZwt
"Well, okay," said Lee as she went back to looking at the restaurant. "Let's just hope it will work."828Please respect copyright.PENANAcIiduMceyq
"I hope so too."828Please respect copyright.PENANA37Oy7MncVx
***828Please respect copyright.PENANAxJH8eCtW19
Zoey's P.O.V828Please respect copyright.PENANAg4bedStOs7
I looked at the menu and828Please respect copyright.PENANAf3H9oBUpdN
I realised that I wasn't so hungry. Maybe I was just too anxious to 828Please respect copyright.PENANAy2UtW504n5
figure out what Jehan's plans were. I looked at him as he sat across the828Please respect copyright.PENANAcieGvS3K7y
table, looking at the menu. He must have felt my eyes on him because he828Please respect copyright.PENANANdpOXIpmxW
looked up at me.828Please respect copyright.PENANA41Js8Zf8Hl
"Aren't you going to order?" Jehan asked, as he went to looking back at the menu.828Please respect copyright.PENANAcGA1DMIHHk
"No. I realise I'm not that hungry anymore," I said.828Please respect copyright.PENANAEvxHcnvOZb
"Why?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAFqTa6RUGxS
I put the menu aside and leaned forward on the table. That caught his attention. He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.828Please respect copyright.PENANA6jUSM91Ib3
"I just want to know what you do. And by the looks of it, it's pretty serious."828Please respect copyright.PENANA4kal0tnD4E
"I'm glad you figured that out." Jehan gave me a mocking smile.828Please respect copyright.PENANAPj2ofq2klT
I growled. "Stop that, will you?"828Please respect copyright.PENANACMdWLsxrwx
"What?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAisHDUJ6lOf
"Mocking me. And just so you know, it's not funny."828Please respect copyright.PENANASBzEfLtQRZ
"I'll try not to next 828Please respect copyright.PENANA8NkGoiJ2fy
time." He turned to the waiter who had been waiting for our order. Jehan828Please respect copyright.PENANAiTK8Bt61bD
ordered the same meal for the both of us. The waiter left immediately.828Please respect copyright.PENANAfYx8Zlcp3r
"Now, are you going to tell me?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAcCMsv2HmKx
"Yes, I'll," said Jehan. "I figured you deserve to know. Only if you do one thing."828Please respect copyright.PENANAkUwOO1IXO0
"Not tell anyone."828Please respect copyright.PENANAG8xxlofHeF
Jehan smiled widely this time around. "Exactly."828Please respect copyright.PENANAYvSfRWLrKO
"Okay." I was now attentive. "Spill."828Please respect copyright.PENANALqIgD82pRL
"I smuggle diamonds."828Please respect copyright.PENANAq4EZUpWYxc
My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. That was sudden. I didn't expect him to be so direct.828Please respect copyright.PENANAfEeh77W34w
"Surprised that I was direct?" Jehan asked as he looked at me giving me goosebumps.828Please respect copyright.PENANAPMd5rOVjym
"Well....ya," I leaned back on my chair still recovering from what he said. "I expected something different."828Please respect copyright.PENANAIpq0uRi4p7
"Like what? Drugs or gun trafficking?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAZaW6ajpuNS
"That's what a lot of bad guys are involved in nowadays. I wasn't expecting that you smuggle diamonds."828Please respect copyright.PENANAAXwMyArea4
The waiter came with our828Please respect copyright.PENANAhuDrSs9wt0
appetisers, Chinese dumplings. I have always liked dumplings. I got a 828Please respect copyright.PENANAChpjIXHk90
pair of chopsticks and put a dumpling in my mouth.828Please respect copyright.PENANA941NC5BSuz
"Yes. I know it's a surprise, but that's what I do. I smuggle in diamonds from country to country."828Please respect copyright.PENANADS6hlcLNFg
"But you don't look like the kind who would do such things."828Please respect copyright.PENANAczXwEkXEZH
"Too bad, I am. And there is nothing you can do to change that."828Please respect copyright.PENANAlY2WZ0Tl6a
"Oh, don't worry about me," I said raising my hands in surrender. "I wasn't even going to try."828Please respect copyright.PENANATjVOcT3yBF
"Good girl," said Jehan, as he smirked. His smirk made me blush and I quickly looked down at my food.828Please respect copyright.PENANA4E9cJJ355z
"So, the little teddy has diamonds in it?" I asked, putting another dumpling in my mouth.828Please respect copyright.PENANAnMAYJsWtLY
"Yes, millions worth of tiny diamonds."828Please respect copyright.PENANA6MGzxJ6qiO
"Is that why you're so rich?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAdvzGZnu6OI
"I was born in a rich family. We own a business but I did all this just to become more richer and more powerful."828Please respect copyright.PENANAJzxVgNN6ao
"That's being greedy, don't you think?"828Please respect copyright.PENANA53ECVj6Myg
Jehan gave a little laugh. "That's the whole point. Power is everything."828Please respect copyright.PENANAiSy7TTyLGa
I gulped. He was giving 828Please respect copyright.PENANAsKEGA6kJxB
me that evil look of his again. I nodded my head and prayed that I would828Please respect copyright.PENANALLKdMzdKh8
manage to get out of this lunch, alive.828Please respect copyright.PENANAgQWs9HFE4z
***828Please respect copyright.PENANAsJLLF4lf6Z
Sam's P.O.V828Please respect copyright.PENANAtmTFpkMoz7
I was waiting by the 828Please respect copyright.PENANANO0WZmMPa6
entrance when I saw Seungri's lamborgini park in the parking lot and 828Please respect copyright.PENANAnqCtGbg46c
another car park right next to it. My mouth dropped. Was that Taeyang's 828Please respect copyright.PENANAao8OraT6D4
car? What was he doing here?828Please respect copyright.PENANAM9Yi55X8pd
Seungri came out of the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAUwjsDoHVBd
car and Daesung came out of the passenger's seat. Taeyang came out of 828Please respect copyright.PENANA3nQr8Up2Qi
his car and TOP from the passenger's side. Surprisingly, G-Dragon came 828Please respect copyright.PENANAynMEduTYYQ
out of the back seat of Taeyang's car. I felt something in me break when828Please respect copyright.PENANAWSMvi8KrXE
I saw G-Dragon and Daesung. The whole BigBang was here! This wasn't 828Please respect copyright.PENANAV0FDzcBLOk
what I was expecting.828Please respect copyright.PENANAN4nmitmXpv
I trembled. What am I 828Please respect copyright.PENANAQLhVm1xkaO
going to do now? I was only expecting Seungri here. This was just 828Please respect copyright.PENANAS0CQsMJtwX
fantastic! I had to think of something quick or else Zoey was going to 828Please respect copyright.PENANAtanzg8GoaF
give Mr Teddy away.828Please respect copyright.PENANAij56Xv7m5d
"Hey, Sam," said Seungri as they came to the entrance. "Were you waiting for me?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAmL6fs75pig
"I...eh..." I looked at Seungri, then at the others. What to do! What to do!828Please respect copyright.PENANA9xTR4MlrUZ
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked. "You don't look at all happy to see us."828Please respect copyright.PENANAyMYgEOvN56
"I, no....I," I didn't 828Please respect copyright.PENANAm2Xc7dvHFb
know what to say. Now that all five of them were here, this was going to828Please respect copyright.PENANAKtfUJuwjnt
get a lot more complicated. What the hell was I going to do?828Please respect copyright.PENANAYcUhPGIXlx
"I was only expecting 828Please respect copyright.PENANABz6tFmy63J
Seungri here so I'm a little surprised," I answered as I looked at 828Please respect copyright.PENANA7B13vuvnnt
Daesung and G-Dragon who stood there staring at me. It felt so weird 828Please respect copyright.PENANA8BdEHrkEAB
seeing the two of them together.828Please respect copyright.PENANA6xd33DoDom
"We could leave if you want us to," said G-Dragon, who looked more than happy to do so.828Please respect copyright.PENANAkDmhygj4A3
"No, no one is going anywhere," said TOP.828Please respect copyright.PENANAyesPDA4SjJ
"Sorry if we surprised you like this, Sam," said Daesung. "But, you and G-Dragon need to talk."828Please respect copyright.PENANAha9GNqshnx
"Talk?" I raised an eyebrow looking confused. When I looked at G-Dragon, it finally came to me. "Oh, I get it."828Please respect copyright.PENANAXD4b45OdW2
"So, will it be okay to leave you two alone?" Taeyang asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANA1seahAqNX3
"Ummm, we can talk later," I said quickly turning to look at Taeyang. "Right now, I need your help."828Please respect copyright.PENANAmIOVjRLKNs
"What's up?" Seungri and Daesung asked at the same time, both looking concerned.828Please respect copyright.PENANAb4Zvp9wRDi
"Come with me," I said 828Please respect copyright.PENANAIdzrlHThKu
as I led the way into the mall, heading towards the Chinese restaurant. 828Please respect copyright.PENANArvXPmNSX1k
Next to the shop was a store where Lee was hiding so as to keep an eye 828Please respect copyright.PENANA6HkzltLjKV
on Zoey and Derrick's brother.828Please respect copyright.PENANAFxw7P8JNJY
When we reached Lee, she turned around and her face went pale upon seeing the others.828Please respect copyright.PENANACmY5ZoZ08E
"Okay, it looks like you really weren't looking forward to seeing us," said G-Dragon, looking irritated and folding his arms.828Please respect copyright.PENANAaDFcAmkxMa
"Hi, guys. You're 828Please respect copyright.PENANA9TMVRNf1Hu
right," said Lee. "Sam told me Seungri was coming here. She didn't 828Please respect copyright.PENANASAWFI8kaGn
mention that the whole crew would be coming too."828Please respect copyright.PENANAj4CgGi8uKg
"Trust me," I said as I looked at Lee. "I had no idea they were all coming."828Please respect copyright.PENANAwdui9ZqYRN
"But what's the emergency?" Taeyang asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANALeFUtDYVZ6
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.828Please respect copyright.PENANAnUcVOEkbAe
"It's Zoey," I said. "Remember the guy she met at the café and who had also sent that teddy bear?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAO7VWfUHxl4
The five BigBang members all nodded their heads.828Please respect copyright.PENANApTlpxaFBbt
"Well, if you look into 828Please respect copyright.PENANAxmDUaFKEcW
that restaurant," I said, pointing at the Chinese restaurant. "Zoey is 828Please respect copyright.PENANATKzNrxlMOO
with someone and I'm betting it's the same guy."828Please respect copyright.PENANAXNDwasHYDX
The five all turned to 828Please respect copyright.PENANAndypSPRnuG
look through the glass window of the restaurant and they easily spotted 828Please respect copyright.PENANA7cUcIPs5pD
Zoey and Derrick's brother. Lee nudged me on my side with her elbow and 828Please respect copyright.PENANALCleEiUQ0t
gave me a what-do-you-think-you're-doing look.828Please respect copyright.PENANA61rhqjFYB6
"Wait, a minute," said TOP. "I've seen that guy before."828Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ6TRIKyD4
Lee and I turned our attention to TOP and asked at the same time, "you have?"828Please respect copyright.PENANALsCmMiMULM
"Ya, in Paris," answered TOP. "Don't you recognise him too, GD?"828Please respect copyright.PENANALahJsiGKXG
"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."828Please respect copyright.PENANAaENCuHjORP
"We were also wondering 828Please respect copyright.PENANAdnHHyVyav7
too," I said. "Lee and I were planning to go in there and talk with 828Please respect copyright.PENANAYRT7aaWzhs
them, but decided that I would rather not."828Please respect copyright.PENANAM4bZN2vQmJ
"Why?" Daesung asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANALHTcUVVp6P
"Well, Zoey seems to be 828Please respect copyright.PENANAQs2Nee5SGG
having a good time and I didn't want to bother her with my presence 828Please respect copyright.PENANAopsJmK7Jxp
since we argued. But then again, I'm so curious about the guy she is 828Please respect copyright.PENANA8zVcylw7j9
talking to. So I thought Seungri might help out."828Please respect copyright.PENANA2MaLwmzmK8
"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.828Please respect copyright.PENANAsPNfQQdM1p
"Huh? Wait a minute," 828Please respect copyright.PENANAEY9mu6QdET
said G-Dragon, who had a confused look on his face. As he looked at 828Please respect copyright.PENANAsgaXFd10OX
Seungri. "I thought you always called Sam your panda."828Please respect copyright.PENANAwSkbYXWBkd
"Well, ya." Seungri shrugged. "She's my little kitty and my panda. Do you have a problem with that?"828Please respect copyright.PENANALbC3jFnrzQ
"It's a little strange for you to call her your little kitty because I call her that."828Please respect copyright.PENANAhThD3rGMhC
Everyone turned to look 828Please respect copyright.PENANABhbnI9i3DJ
at G-Dragon. What was he saying? I was very surprised by all this. And 828Please respect copyright.PENANAMCL1itClgU
my heart was pounding so hard in my chest. Wow. Was G-Dragon jealous or 828Please respect copyright.PENANAUFSE89FTsy
something? I couldn't help but feel flattered about it.828Please respect copyright.PENANAvNGeuUZFni
"Looks like someone is jealous," said TOP, with a mocking smile on his face.828Please respect copyright.PENANAaGU5HJIOXE
Lee giggled. "Tell me about it."828Please respect copyright.PENANAix3t4HSXAt
"Here you're now 828Please respect copyright.PENANAGGlpnykKsN
claiming that you're the one who's supposed to call Sam your little 828Please respect copyright.PENANAufHWOxrsXv
kitty when you're still mad at her," said Taeyang.828Please respect copyright.PENANAxAXZv5Q81n
"Can we not focus on that now and sort out the problem at hand?" G-Dragon asked avoiding our eyes.828Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6Ng5A72yc
"I'll talk with G-Dragon828Please respect copyright.PENANAE8qp1tCbmM
later," I said. I turned to look at the restaurant as I felt myself 828Please respect copyright.PENANACKheOwfPaJ
blush. They were almost done with their main meal. I had to do 828Please respect copyright.PENANA5b9cgaYlDP
something, quick.828Please respect copyright.PENANAOceB3Trsxf
"Okay, fine, we will 828Please respect copyright.PENANADbkXKLIvNB
mock GD later," said Seungri giving G-Dragon a playful smile. "I'll go 828Please respect copyright.PENANAnsJkKPJ32U
into the restaurant and meet the guy."828Please respect copyright.PENANAP4VOCpHO5T
Yes. Finally. I thought 828Please respect copyright.PENANA9HLJZaJCLp
he would never go. After G-Dragon's little jealous showdown, I thought 828Please respect copyright.PENANApCfebxXYZN
everything was going to be delayed.828Please respect copyright.PENANAvVrg2eoqFv
"I'll come with you," said TOP. "I also would like to know who this guy is."828Please respect copyright.PENANADdTcoKENX2
"We will wait out here," said Daesung.828Please respect copyright.PENANA48yGvjZD3D
Seungri and TOP started their way towards the restaurant, while the rest of us just stood there like statues.828Please respect copyright.PENANAGOsdsyGfe0
"So, are we going to stay here or what?" G-Dragon asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANAGhBbv8T3u3
As much as I wanted to 828Please respect copyright.PENANAATB7hwfmT1
stay here and see what will go on with the others in the restaurant, I 828Please respect copyright.PENANAPRr15mw8bj
decided it was time for G-Dragon and I to talk.828Please respect copyright.PENANAXLbaP1Zcsv
***828Please respect copyright.PENANAX88lbrvm1n
Zoey's P.O.V828Please respect copyright.PENANAuwl0BKgcKv
As much as I tried to 828Please respect copyright.PENANAvNjDzDY6NC
enjoy this meal we were having, I couldn't wait to get out of this place828Please respect copyright.PENANADQn6KxgYbL
and just go back to the hotel. After my little talk with Jehan, I 828Please respect copyright.PENANAggYHORx7uj
haven't been able to talk again freely. I had been quiet throughout the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAMlyojGzCf2
whole meal and I bet he also noticed it too.828Please respect copyright.PENANAwLzqVDrdob
"Have you finally decided to follow table manners or are you tired of talking to me?" Jehan asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANAVFbtIRPf8v
"If by tired, you mean scared, then yes," I said as I finished my noodles on the plate.828Please respect copyright.PENANAsC3odDzoZa
"Scared? Are you really that scared of me?" Jehan had a questioning look on his face.828Please respect copyright.PENANAkT8IAF0Le5
"Well, ya. Do you see the way you look at me sometimes? No, you don't. Silly of me for even asking."828Please respect copyright.PENANAzMMneMvwvy
"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.828Please respect copyright.PENANADa8OpiAx7U
"What do you want me to 828Please respect copyright.PENANAnTVciPqGJ2
do? I just found out that you smuggle diamonds, which to me is very 828Please respect copyright.PENANARz3FqtuWKI
illegal like drugs and gun trafficking. And I'm very scared that there 828Please respect copyright.PENANAStUCu9twQu
are a lot of guns involved because you pointed one at me back in Paris."828Please respect copyright.PENANAlKh9sRzOah
"Don't blame me. You wanted to know what I was up to."828Please respect copyright.PENANARou9kgUpED
"Well, you should have played hard to get. Given that look you give me, I wouldn't even have asked any further."828Please respect copyright.PENANAhQomcPYVoC
Jehan shook his head and828Please respect copyright.PENANAkgqe9mMEiR
surprisingly, he chuckled as he leaned back on his chair. "I wonder how828Please respect copyright.PENANAmyiMgLmerk
your group members even put up with you. You're amusing yet so 828Please respect copyright.PENANAlszRsEXBOy
annoying."828Please respect copyright.PENANAPZXzs3xDBN
"My group members and I get along just fine despite my drama and the petty fights we have."828Please respect copyright.PENANAwRN36R9uC1
"Mmm. I see that. Are you up for dessert?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAXJMo9UV4Lb
"Do you know what, I don't want dessert. I want to go back to the hotel if you don't mind."828Please respect copyright.PENANAaVFdysQ76w
"You can leave if you give me the teddy bear," said Jehan as he outstretched his arm and opened his palm.828Please respect copyright.PENANAN2FSKWb7LA
"Wait," I said as I held my purse close with the teddy bear in it. "I need some assurance from you about something."828Please respect copyright.PENANAWShmiApoNM
Jehan looked rritated and folded his arms. "What?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAVs741rbbgM
"Tell me this will be the last time you're going to tell me to do anything for you."828Please respect copyright.PENANAF2rjDKwsNp
Jehan looked at me and I could tell that he was studying me. "Why? You don't want to help me out anymore?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAvVbBSwLOmD
"Heck no!" This time, I was a little loud and a few heads in the restaurant looked my way. I lowered my voice. "Sorry."828Please respect copyright.PENANAWx0cLRTZrW
Jehan looked unmoved by my reaction, but I could easily tell that in the inside, he was pretty pissed.828Please respect copyright.PENANArmghhj2sbx
"Just so you know, this might probably be the last time you will ever see me again," said Jehan in a cool, calm tone.828Please respect copyright.PENANAcywjsMvZjE
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow, not really believing that he was telling the truth.828Please respect copyright.PENANArIGOlkN4vo
"Yes, for real."828Please respect copyright.PENANABFTrgkRSVu
"So, you aren't going to come back and threaten me, right?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAC2Md3ysQmX
"Yes. Maybe we will meet828Please respect copyright.PENANAhA0J3yjco2
someday in the future. The only reason why I threatened you was so that828Please respect copyright.PENANAEG4CrMvtPB
you could carry those diamonds for me from Paris to Korea."828Please respect copyright.PENANAqNsmAre3jV
"Why? Because we were using a private plane and there was less security?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAlszvsq6qgV
"I'm impressed. You're actually smart."828Please respect copyright.PENANAtp9AjJK0mU
"I watch too many movies." I gave him a smile, though I didn't really mean it.828Please respect copyright.PENANAJX5HDS4J3e
"Figured. So, the teddy, please." Jehan had his arm outstretched again.828Please respect copyright.PENANA9jIpwsiYIt
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.828Please respect copyright.PENANAc39560qNEu
Just as I was about to open my purse and take out the small teddy, a voice I recognised came behind me.828Please respect copyright.PENANA5i0V66ZxL5
"Zoey, hey!"828Please respect copyright.PENANAVlYGDB7lpk
Seungri? I quickly 828Please respect copyright.PENANAVsmCJBibOV
turned around and standing at the door of the restaurant, stood Seungri 828Please respect copyright.PENANAOn8EiCG2qM
with TOP beside him. I was so horrified. Oh no! What were they doing 828Please respect copyright.PENANAu7Ij77GJeL
here?828Please respect copyright.PENANAvkas5xqtnt
They came over to our 828Please respect copyright.PENANAhO8AbkMAYM
table and I still couldn't believe that they were here. I tried to put 828Please respect copyright.PENANAmwQgoSuR8B
up a smile but so far, I couldn't. I looked over at Jehan who had a grim828Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4GHlbWBa2
look on his face. This was not supposed to happen. What were we going 828Please respect copyright.PENANAGuYcwseNaN
to do now?828Please respect copyright.PENANA2WRECdRIin
"Hey, Zoey," said TOP. Then he turned to look at Jehan. "Mind if we sit?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAhMpkvhkr0m
"Sure," said Jehan giving TOP a smile. "We met at the fashion show in Paris."828Please respect copyright.PENANAPwVsfS6uvo
"Ya, we did," said TOP as he sat down and Seungri sat opposite him. "Your name again?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAYKNpHBhFOr
"Jehan."828Please respect copyright.PENANAhcHEgaplU2
"Nice to meet you," said Seungri. "I'm...."828Please respect copyright.PENANA2OlVwzZR7a
"There is no need for introductions, Seungri," said Jehan. "I already know who you are."828Please respect copyright.PENANAmX3tcDeb4r
"Good," said Seungri. "So, what brings you here?"828Please respect copyright.PENANAtMyWI2THtD
"I just came here to visit. I met Zoey again and decided to have lunch together."828Please respect copyright.PENANAHFqA34ECCU
"Oh." Seungri nodded his head.828Please respect copyright.PENANAAC5QxBsp3p
"Ya," I said as I took a glass of water beside me and drank from the cup.828Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3L3Uhzy8a
"Weren't you the same guy at the café with Zoey the other day?" TOP asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANAdgoiEzQrLC
I almost spit out the 828Please respect copyright.PENANAHh5tWHbAnp
water in my mouth but I tried not to. I ended up choking instead. The 828Please respect copyright.PENANAWi6bYrJI9r
three men all turned to look at me and I hit my chest as my eyes begun 828Please respect copyright.PENANA4tvuDxi1Ci
to water.828Please respect copyright.PENANArSgAvj7uFu
"Are you okay, Zoey?" Seungri asked.828Please respect copyright.PENANAY8q6K2bgZ9
"Ya, I'm fine," I said. How did they figure out that Jehan was the person I met at the café?828Please respect copyright.PENANALSXGCZT81y
"Yes, Zoey and I met at the café the first day I got here," said Jehan, answering TOP's question.828Please respect copyright.PENANAGpJoCKF1WU
Jehan looked at me and I828Please respect copyright.PENANACiT0QqXWEe
bet he was also wondering how the others could have figured out all 828Please respect copyright.PENANA61gg2Gwd9s
this. I gave him a look that said I had no idea how they did.828Please respect copyright.PENANA3xYbXDP4Rd
"May I ask what you're 828Please respect copyright.PENANAPX22eAcacX
doing here?" I asked looking at TOP and then at Seungri. This was 828Please respect copyright.PENANA8CLR1ttLzm
getting frustrating and I didn't want them to be here anymore.828Please respect copyright.PENANAleBD1jSf8F
"Oh, we just came here 828Please respect copyright.PENANA84LrWZIGZr
to see if we could shop for a few things," said Seungri. "Then we saw 828Please respect copyright.PENANA1AtqDEfwcT
you as we were walking by and decided to say hi."828Please respect copyright.PENANAHaOvaKD7yo
"Hope we didn't interrupt you with anything," said TOP. "You two seemed to be having a serious conversation."828Please respect copyright.PENANAzrOQ1V4IQk
"No, you didn't," said Jehan.828Please respect copyright.PENANA1IZeyQT9f4
Then a phone rang. It was Jehan's phone. We were all silent at the table as Jehan looked at his phone.828Please respect copyright.PENANAhhcsZvOqTa
"I think it's time to leave," said Jehan putting his phone on silent. "I have a business meeting to attend to."828Please respect copyright.PENANAqhdGNlLojp
"Okay," I said. "We will meet some other time then before you leave for Paris."828Please respect copyright.PENANA5mrhnV85jw
"Yes, we will," said 828Please respect copyright.PENANAA7EURPF9uX
Jehan as he pulled our his wallet and pulled the cash out to pay for the828Please respect copyright.PENANAU38FyZxlVj
bill, leaving it on the table. He quickly stood up from his chair.828Please respect copyright.PENANATZAuNNKi0W
"We will stay in touch," he said as he looked at me and then turned to face the others. "It was nice meeting you."828Please respect copyright.PENANAfsvB6YmtFl
"You too," said Seungri.828Please respect copyright.PENANAwELaqGkH1I
Jehan gave a small smile828Please respect copyright.PENANAtF5BtsuVyb
and swiftly left the restaurant. I wanted to growl in frustration, but 828Please respect copyright.PENANAeHBUbol25m
not in front of Seungri and TOP. When I thought I could finally give the828Please respect copyright.PENANAysiFhgstvI
teddy bear away, these two show up. Why was this happening to me?828Please respect copyright.PENANAyRXijn24Fz
"He seemed kind of nice," said Seungri. "Okay, let's go shopping."828Please respect copyright.PENANAxAMIjqnOEI
"Are you up for it, Zoey?" TOP asked, as he looked at me.828Please respect copyright.PENANAZF93QeSJOu
"Sounds fun," I said as enthusiastically as I could.828Please respect copyright.PENANAbe8cUH65Wl
"Great, let's go," said Seungri and we all stood up the table and headed out of the restaurant.828Please respect copyright.PENANA1g1CNLzcWy
I wondered how I was 828Please respect copyright.PENANAFCB5aIUGIw
going to have fun when I knew what I had come here for hadn't gone as 828Please respect copyright.PENANAZLp6dyOTIz
planned. And all that still meant that I still had a gun pointed to my 828Please respect copyright.PENANAZYX3fMVV6U
head until I give the teddy bear away.828Please respect copyright.PENANAnKa67PHZr7
This was just great!
