My watch said 10:31 and I hissed in frustration. I was getting really impatient and I felt like I was about to blow a fuse.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAF6vFyIuQAO
I had never been this 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAjjxkLNrSDC
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAjxHJ4NMjAe
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAII5HOz7WDi
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAORauUWTfi3
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAWqj1zZnlQD
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOoLoVcdPmF
"Sam!"1044Please respect copyright.PENANALquXIS96Bp
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.1044Please respect copyright.PENANANx8CU5yKEd
Zoey came out of the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANALLeA7rfYvC
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on1044Please respect copyright.PENANAjLyGAqwVeI
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAgm7BatzJbM
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANABRuwR2s4vK
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGvoBVQcb0j
"You've been searching for it all morning," I said as I stood up. "Can we please just go to the studio? We're already late."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA8LuDq4ouCQ
"No, let me go and check again," Zoey turned around to head back to the room and I groaned so loudly to grab her attention.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAcBc3HlZ0w8
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAScWjzwM5Br
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANA7s3AlPtKpa
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAd7PrTCsJU0
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAitKZaxTQpY
I ignored her and said, 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5QWwMIZBv5
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAw9HNWGswJz
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkpFDYBrQW6
"What time is it?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANA92DSax8HnC
"10:35."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAnd3uQb0kVm
"Wow, time really passes by."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAshv4MsbePa
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAI0ivTEFtOe
"Let me go get my phone."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA0s5QCVnh9U
Zoey rushed back to the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAutvsfUMFPb
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing1044Please respect copyright.PENANANgINGqCbYG
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,1044Please respect copyright.PENANAHNLSJdl0R8
that was Zoey.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAfa3SluhDcP
I soon received a 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA20IEgOZiDZ
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA3tXQc5Tyzm
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAspsQIzKco9
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAQMGvORYiYp
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"1044Please respect copyright.PENANA0uGWklQChb
"I'm coming."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhouRhgRUYC
I started heading 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZKJ9WfkKL8
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAm7tVwwjsSO
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAUJF16GIosz
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 1044Please respect copyright.PENANACmhWHnn5xb
number. A number coming from another country.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAQa3RzHXECf
"Oh, who is this?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAwNNtAXRWrb
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA6OJ0jyEo3N
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAfZKMPxx0Qc
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9u1oxyf50e
"Come on, we're already late."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5Rq1vERmS6
We went into the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAH3WcyEuoqL
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFTORAsx2gy
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAqveWVI8vqO
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZvMGL3Wyag
When we got to YG, 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAm7SNPtoIpD
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked1044Please respect copyright.PENANAcC2jYI2wYu
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAG6kR00By99
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAHU3BXrdA4x
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA8yFImOKsxJ
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAt7WSfoizs2
Zoey held her earlobes 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA6j5W3zsdm3
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to1044Please respect copyright.PENANAtrxGEj4eBr
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA1aRCwkzpeP
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGNae6fGpMv
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5SQifaR8v6
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA3LXynw4Lyh
"Remind me whenever you're deciding who sings which part of a song to let me be there," said Collins as he turned to look at me.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkuA2nIpw69
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAqqqOsUjzec
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGQ0N0lWj1d
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAoBUAMhUGLH
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.1044Please respect copyright.PENANADu96aPOuzu
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAyx2fScwyFj
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAevB2fLv2UB
"Then let's do so," said1044Please respect copyright.PENANA6GCtC64FnX
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,1044Please respect copyright.PENANAuCTzigGTFM
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAq3BgdeGAIj
I had completely forgot 1044Please respect copyright.PENANABZx92JQdPr
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAKBmOvR66o1
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAmA0Qm82AGU
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.1044Please respect copyright.PENANATsh7LywR1W
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAde48VH52OK
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAmmB5loO3UD
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAbB5AA5xeuf
In the live room, there 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAA4ipeZquM1
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around1044Please respect copyright.PENANAKJlrC7rkLc
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.1044Please respect copyright.PENANALjoqVv0Yte
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA2fld6RL7Mw
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.1044Please respect copyright.PENANADSYSoqELGW
I looked at the others 1044Please respect copyright.PENANArCnUshbMr5
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAfsmWSJqlMk
producer started to play the tune for the song.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAG56Hw6aLUY
G-Dragon started to sing1044Please respect copyright.PENANA6pQl99dFCj
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAuLkguROwac
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 1044Please respect copyright.PENANADsMuQ5ZJAD
to let them sing the first verse together.1044Please respect copyright.PENANARVKvyAJveL
Collins, the music 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOcxlIco5PK
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.1044Please respect copyright.PENANANtrvIpn0lW
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkghyy9hvzK
Christine then sang the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAaqfg9K2oi5
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAXZCqXsTKll
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAUXBmoaE8Um
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAdDVYad5jUs
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAoWGdL72XhM
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."1044Please respect copyright.PENANALpq40R57cj
I smiled at Taeyang who stood beside me and I nudged him on the shoulder. "Stop it, Tae," I said. "Don't make me blush."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAsMtvETkaab
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I1044Please respect copyright.PENANAmXoVFe2mXG
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAmhpz0A1B1Y
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAKm3jWgYax7
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.1044Please respect copyright.PENANADttvB23yNV
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANACnRh6EdLKp
"You may," said Collins,1044Please respect copyright.PENANAY9701yzlFb
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAppto32Ol2A
You have to work on the backup vocals."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAnpWrlIIQk0
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1044Please respect copyright.PENANANnYZjOupVi
If I hadn't known 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAHuW3mDV2zp
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhLo6T0R52S
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and1044Please respect copyright.PENANAlEpN2qTXS1
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 1044Please respect copyright.PENANARqGgHSwPCU
hollow inside.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOOrcuMCAXu
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAcnhKNB5W71
We continued recording 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAp8KUyLLdY2
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAK7KBI4t1s8
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAliwm5mNyy9
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.1044Please respect copyright.PENANApqy0MlA9Zx
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAzsb0oCaFtQ
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAaiss2Tna14
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAXsX1pUIErT
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANA8lBcngDdVW
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.1044Please respect copyright.PENANApYDVyADd1o
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.1044Please respect copyright.PENANADo38kfVUMo
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9NmSAGEqOA
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAsZfMRlIbPc
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9l4sOEdDkz
"But be back within an hour."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAv41m46kitl
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAbYeXcIPDwj
"Fine, an hour and a half."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFIHmPXpICJ
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA0hOhxkoUG4
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGwK1bfnMj6
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAH7s3NxABAl
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAPUQb2SypHl
"That, my friend," said 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAVQlIMQ7s6o
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9px0YPCaBQ
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAYxFkz4fXF9
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAqImopECbjm
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA7KO5dwVcLs
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAMFDWCDSLgU
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA90EtMGyDEO
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAY1J09FjJ30
"Whenever you want us to1044Please respect copyright.PENANAdRoDT2K3HP
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAl7Czsw0Con
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAuhYALGSKPK
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAyR0AX72VYg
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAtEZCPSatOs
"Huh," I thought of all 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAL00A8Rmmft
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGLiBzWLYDF
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZRGaWjrXw
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAqvIVCnMvB6
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA0C8X6KxoRg
"Come on, Sam," said 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAMdwDRYIQSZ
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAqj4idhlgfV
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9GK1cJnNSQ
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAm2EMOGCqjQ
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA023K0kDnbx
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAWTPsGu352E
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAQejP3NbWx3
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANALBY3mZ7f7l
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFsUETN2JBJ
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAyDMkTap3sP
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAtb22DqOIOP
"They aren't here," I said.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAt5zN2BIR9u
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAyveKMdzKJd
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAgUNg89zVYk
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAdOKkeTBZSh
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."1044Please respect copyright.PENANACTUzHUkFi1
I nodded my head and we 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAjojb6q0sbf
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhFO7Y7aqJR
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAgBloqrUuZf
We were in the lobby and1044Please respect copyright.PENANAHvW80IABMt
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that1044Please respect copyright.PENANAYfFsuLi9KQ
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAAsQZV4wyYx
morning.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZzeDKS8Oqh
I first sent Zoey a text1044Please respect copyright.PENANAiQSo9fahaN
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZgOaLpQtR
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA04gRvoDdJc
"Hey, what are you looking at?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAuhjDy6zSMv
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAWvMn9aIFzN
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOpA5YpIhsG
"Okay, shall we go?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAXw6TK5tI8X
"Ya, sure." I put the phone back in my pocket and I wrapped my arm around his elbow and we walked out of the building.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAM7BAEeJjTQ
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAUP6X9xPsBX
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA97eYfZOHkd
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAtqxlG3OOt2
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAp8LXM7LMa5
Instead of using any one1044Please respect copyright.PENANAx45TLJPQDZ
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAIgJDuPA5gw
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAfluz2uNrTA
attention, especially from the customers.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAoMtmUToHzp
I had to admit, the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAxQA4MIRblr
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As1044Please respect copyright.PENANAdxy7XlTp6a
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAn6EpyoiRxK
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAvWoc4lZeNN
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAng043kXUCM
A smartly dressed 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAa5lydWNRac
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly1044Please respect copyright.PENANAiLx8ZhYy7U
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAAoJ7AAKj2P
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAq0TyAWuw6G
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?1044Please respect copyright.PENANAjywofCdKpZ
We were escorted to a 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAuQR5W9EMAp
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 1044Please respect copyright.PENANALNJHHMhwhI
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAtRYifEkhx9
TOP pulled a chair for 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAF6bpdLHW97
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAiO0QQV2Icl
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA8lWoIkoWPB
beside her.1044Please respect copyright.PENANANjI9Sh30y0
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.1044Please respect copyright.PENANANbbFf0JAZF
"Tell me about it," said Christine.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAcl2LT64peA
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAKdPtHAvMrD
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAVX9SAGJ5lp
"So, let's order," said Daesung.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAAstXvv8KQX
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAd4i4loEEZs
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.1044Please respect copyright.PENANANIwkH34HFY
As we were having our 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAmPlXMygKio
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our1044Please respect copyright.PENANAXW5r6hpA0m
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAKYOir8za40
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAvnUrXRAj8u
having fun wherever they were.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA3owo59fcNF
While I was having my 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAvEQFLE13BH
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a1044Please respect copyright.PENANAd6K2S6c2Fh
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAxywcmlfAvn
unknown number had sent me a message again.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAHImdQWwqeO
I tapped on the message 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhXUe7e0SCu
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAmvAwykzZaT
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhfzuNBkuYs
the next message was more surprising.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAWN0rg9RbEv
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANASyHbGrh9WA
Anything about what was 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAjIJi4DEXqM
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAf8X6JcvMUB
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAKdZGW6ZXV6
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAYixOaCMoWJ
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA2YNT0u893e
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y7WWtYUMa
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAIK1vtxm51n
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAUPxm1OlTkW
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAa2OeyeIKYQ
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFTnykeYTmX
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkQMSN7NmSs
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9vKKD8V0WL
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."1044Please respect copyright.PENANANODVJohEte
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAzznS9EWsbV
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAF4DVLk3pXe
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkM7vxhD8R3
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA68KDYgn0EZ
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAlGRIFKqnUC
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA89a9VwsRgT
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."1044Please respect copyright.PENANACBQUKvnxKC
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAt9fXRlbkD4
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.1044Please respect copyright.PENANADN0Xtg3Yia
"Can we please stop 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA1xF07gXcm5
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 1044Please respect copyright.PENANARGzo2DoFbg
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA6W2ewPqTKK
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAcvdqH7r9aL
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANACxC9Li64XQ
"No, let me," said 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAJgxZLHt36q
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to1044Please respect copyright.PENANAonV9C80hOY
allow her to say what she wanted to say.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA2qllLvKOqJ
I shook my head at Christine and she leaned back on her seat with a groan. Daniel smiled when I nodded my head to let him go on.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAX91v9fwl9U
"Because, Collins gave 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAPqQBVUFzGY
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAwcOzfsmIWQ
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAvb29mFiF56
Never."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAqihCn11C9G
There was silence on the1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOXydojAvyG
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAcv6uUHkhf4
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAIrAdx7y9e9
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAJj2MlyrNd1
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAT0WmrIAjgH
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAPgAA8Kf83M
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAnvJamukarW
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAxm4HooC7zQ
"It's serious to 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAw8iFvPfzWq
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhSV8wb9wjl
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAokeE9WksW1
babies."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAf8OwdiITIC
That was odd coming out 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAAUVG4VmhdL
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAeYxKUQiaA0
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAzFlDly4S9J
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA6PaOpnpTrK
laps.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGNGe7MYCEI
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAq14udVaySi
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAuQS3IXmZos
I really did. Something 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAspv3xbwKtK
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAuIJcBXuF9U
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAqjHwH5Yzdp
"Excuse me, I'll need to use the rest room," I said as I drew back my chair, stood up and headed straight for the ladies' room.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAKBeJvuQfkO
I quickly closed the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAc4pbyTK44H
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA8uElkh2C3W
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAdINr8rX24D
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAQES8g2wsiy
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAnBWH5VcviP
I shook my head and I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAgbNKAhCJjs
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAUxSXz5q9gu
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAAXoeKBQpAq
supposed to care. But I did.1044Please respect copyright.PENANATynqDvGuy1
I looked at myself and I1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9HdGoJ64Yx
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAtBXLauERNj
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAxtbh1FBAZV
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAAlhAjjxeqJ
things and focus on what's really important.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAdKKSAXxgka
I quickly took a deep breath to try and pull myself together. I rinsed my hands, left the room and went back to our table.1044Please respect copyright.PENANACRg3PbKWow
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAG5J8h5mlv2
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5jExBuq606
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.1044Please respect copyright.PENANArMkubviNvk
I gulped. What had these1044Please respect copyright.PENANAJRVmnmMMKS
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAWVc7Qs93WE
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA1xMJtSzOzF
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.1044Please respect copyright.PENANANASQMiEC8T
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9UspkJ3xOn
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAt9ZQprAYJT
"And I have been a good girl on my part," said Christine making an invisible drawing of a halo above her head with her finger.1044Please respect copyright.PENANANDh1KvqnVO
While Christine was one 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAeUvUfQ3uws
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA7FStMK9Ux0
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 1044Please respect copyright.PENANApQFkFfUn0u
worse.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAcwOc6pnovS
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAUaFUJ9tnQ2
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAku4hnBzqhn
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAle2mgqKKwo
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAs8wzplJEyI
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA8mXXM0Q6Yo
I blushed. "Mike!"1044Please respect copyright.PENANARugpFEsAwN
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.1044Please respect copyright.PENANATn6LSM0LVT
"I've tried kissing 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAWyjFeCn6fQ
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA1OpbDN2c6r
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAxUXcqMAKRf
"Uhh, if I were you, I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAuVuJHAz0XM
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 1044Please respect copyright.PENANABuEwqOAeOU
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANANhdu3XdnyE
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 1044Please respect copyright.PENANATEqZMERX5x
regretting it."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAzd4yESc8XE
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAXPA8OkGhU5
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOiWnQXyvMm
"Fine, I'll listen to 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA6aW4PMl13g
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAoyoXiY7MXg
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANADDHihxOGKA
blushed.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAdQzPKEfGn0
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.1044Please respect copyright.PENANACAMsFmfAOZ
He was right. We only had a few minutes to get to YG. And Collins was one person who's strict when it comes to time.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA8f0USb8VZ9
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAogxexSCurZ
We got to YG just in 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA99ii3LrYYB
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAbUeTytvFtK
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAn1XTPeFFj0
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.1044Please respect copyright.PENANABtkjUAzG2b
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAjNcqVsm5is
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGRxGtayPF9
I couldn't help but feel1044Please respect copyright.PENANAG9tRag2VXO
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAld6HaGB7FW
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA6neuDIRQwk
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?1044Please respect copyright.PENANABmME1yBzE9
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAP5qABECBB4
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAUsyc9aufLA
I felt something inside 1044Please respect copyright.PENANATiV3pAvIVs
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAw7JN70HLb1
couldn't believe what I was hearing.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAa2DWHkTpO0
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAy9bq7KiGg5
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAHyzH7OcG9l
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAwZrbzaXql5
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."1044Please respect copyright.PENANABSHXZ7BPPv
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA3qwi0ofCgU
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhnquYQud5W
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAd5fw6iHyH5
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAxTfYOM4fA6
"Then?" TOP asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAAgkmkJtaWD
"I don't know, I went over to get some ice cream for the both of us, and the next thing I know she was gone."1044Please respect copyright.PENANATmvC4tQFNI
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFnUU5QCqpo
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAqYdDzz8p6l
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAE7yaz0qTN8
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.1044Please respect copyright.PENANARcQXYycddD
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAAftcEdqhcU
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhBJEEMOJBu
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZIMm3pzGnr
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAADccCzwO2z
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFdmvyiPzAz
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAiLzORhuoVz
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAcz1m8qtY32
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAEVTh5hA3lW
I couldn't help but 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAuKQwnc7v8w
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOfD42xOvvk
not telling us what was really going on?1044Please respect copyright.PENANAYYIzRGt0mD
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAcy96TEeC3u
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.1044Please respect copyright.PENANALp58vj0ynq
"We've to look for her," said TOP.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAY6bWSGC4dE
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANArUC5NUk8QH
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA8p2HAyZ3Wx
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5osR9veHSF
"Did someone say my name?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFlewPX2MLg
I cringed. He was one 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4mjqkWYe8
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA60e1PrO6tv
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA4Hzx8G8NlB
the music producer.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAR0toIOe8CU
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAS6N9c81wEC
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA8hmJ9PHSxk
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAnWK1g8raix
"Looks like you aren't 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAAwIRDxbw74
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAzFX6TgDVIO
away from us and heading towards the console.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA48vGiULvCP
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAEzOkAFnKJt
I looked at the others 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZDwk8XIFWT
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAldxWg50bnX
something or else we would be toast.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA4aztfFULYp
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANACrEyxULsu0
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.1044Please respect copyright.PENANASftnj1LV5i
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAuRWhEqbOKX
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAgcnFbsZfXq
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANALH6MD8pwUT
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA3vtX6zrhuy
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANATuPzqukaui
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAKD8N0H3aRZ
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANALRXyeoSowR
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAWkHk3WOpBz
Please say yes. I was praying in my heart that Collins would agree. This time I wasn't relying on my eye to do anything.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAEVca99KLU5
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5pFDwnYBmb
Mike and Daniel almost 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOVcPdbrOHa
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 1044Please respect copyright.PENANALTHssCVyND
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her1044Please respect copyright.PENANAiNaQYHhrPW
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkXWxDyMLcr
"That's fine," said Taeyang.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZwgoxSoSla
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAviKOd67NZh
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAlR8JoOopL5
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAByZ4PLKMag
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAbziVUaNJ9Q
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZMoBAtRgus
Christine was doing the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAYvJyTQE3o2
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious1044Please respect copyright.PENANAP1xqRodqQ6
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 1044Please respect copyright.PENANANRXuYrudBx
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.1044Please respect copyright.PENANArmkOyo9AlA
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFbGXc0kT99
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAAyINoxtvSo
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAckzPlOyn5n
I wanted to ask where, 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAQrVTu4dBQJ
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee1044Please respect copyright.PENANAKAddVSgRZx
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the1044Please respect copyright.PENANApG5OUo5lrZ
music producer soon left.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA1HKBez8dhO
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAMX08WNBtG3
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAN6fMoMHqzz
"Ya, we should," I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAlBvdN3vLQC
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in1044Please respect copyright.PENANAV0W24QMtoM
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAAh9kqukM3K
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZWav7JmbXl
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9fZZn9epTU
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGd7GCaLQo9
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAAclmlDBy3l
As soon as we left the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA6cDBMThzFr
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5ofufXp04p
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 1044Please respect copyright.PENANABpN2Q7Zw9k
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAvPKumCN50y
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAvCT5bORiKJ
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAX5RSNJRTqP
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAnuDGNZ1pm1
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAjahH79yQ3a
G-Dragon drove away and 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAWC4YWAPwyh
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA3hyMVLFbKX
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAyXvkXdua2c
"Did you two have some sort of argument?" I asked when we both got out of the car and I went round it to face him.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAN4HdZtJvSD
"What?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANALVpBtjADoZ
"Did you two argue?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANA8h8waYH7Sq
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAn3Hv32U9Gg
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAr7yyimfiKL
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAskwYuGSRcr
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAQNxM80XZbV
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFxI6QBI9qQ
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.1044Please respect copyright.PENANASwqgtp1yWv
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAXY5RMwsFAH
With quick strides, I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAEoxJu2KzNT
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I1044Please respect copyright.PENANAmvV1Kb4h1i
could look at him directly in his face.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkjIzpTzzXE
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.1044Please respect copyright.PENANANkFsNO4iv8
"I want you to tell me the truth."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhWzjW24dKJ
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZpEIOAAZ5w
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOQ6qef5IfA
G-Dragon chuckled and 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAvzrewBlON8
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAvN1q94SKx0
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAsUrwFKPPp0
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAgtJ4yFBpjH
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9aQwW8Hln9
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAuTmNDwvQp1
"And how do you know?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zt9BbWu9n
"I'm her best friend. 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGSwTJvhR0d
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAih1p2rRjud
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAacPa0DHHKq
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAiDJPKwMvVr
"Zoey can't end her 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAKpcpGhmbkh
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA4am6wMUzEh
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAXke87Khj85
you did something."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAvxdNzTtagq
"Me?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAeXmQ8VMYRS
"Da! Yes, you!"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAoZR9nd0FI3
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAJwxOI5wmIY
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAA9lsHk7VMS
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9ffGzylAEQ
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGIhohoQJj6
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA1AeBXrimEX
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAk6PD6zyqpv
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAUaQE7Ujki0
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhvQWvVbSWC
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAUfBPgicfrq
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAE4g4H2vgGd
"Ya. Sure."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFNpJ63tgbF
"Now, will you please 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAnWXTyOizmK
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkZlP2SnQ43
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAJvupQO8QmG
interview."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAirATp4kYNS
I didn't say anything, 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAegUPSHIrGE
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAXnLL4i7n2Y
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA18SG6uQfG0
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and1044Please respect copyright.PENANAN7ofXwpAaH
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,1044Please respect copyright.PENANAb32rLgIxvE
but nothing.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA4ro1Aatx4X
We were already half way into the park and still no sign of Zoey. We were by the lake and I sat down on the grass by the banks.1044Please respect copyright.PENANACFj9xNa1R2
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.1044Please respect copyright.PENANArmHgh3WcGp
"I'm not," I said as I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFpzq5q01XG
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA7YGqrQu397
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOMtc4O64fP
G-Dragon sat down beside1044Please respect copyright.PENANAO7LWjn9AIx
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAQMSFcH5jTP
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAg7kI6dew3z
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful1044Please respect copyright.PENANA6UL0miBNFd
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZN4PaHLewN
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5Wi4lgoVOJ
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZNUPeKbSEb
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAVmvMAZHbyj
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAJoWUp6zgJK
"You love nature, don't you?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAKZLf3cKqDv
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAQHHDWvxZJG
At that moment, I was so1044Please respect copyright.PENANAWVmPrkoJHN
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about1044Please respect copyright.PENANA2lojZdLiAI
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 1044Please respect copyright.PENANASyFBV1FllZ
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOad3bPeuBh
even the noise around me seemed non existent.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA80OzG3DYRV
Then I felt something 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAbdX38fxVzk
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA7iODobicK4
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAoeXTMNRAKl
was staring at me.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAx4AvWOkX5U
"What?" I asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA4lvoQJ4KFZ
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAJbRfEwEaOl
I blushed all of the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAzEt16ugScz
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAVXnGeSOVmQ
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAal0cmn0Vzj
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAdSnzKCst8i
I would have said yes to1044Please respect copyright.PENANAKFuCfZDnPw
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA0DX153JhYS
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 1044Please respect copyright.PENANArKIwkaYfTw
were never meant to be.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAT1UOQ0WrOc
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAADevGSQab7
"Why?" He asked softly.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAPlWTGBMwVU
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAMoXmS6HtwG
"What do you mean?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANA2l439TJEbY
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAXnvq4yup12
"So?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1SpuyaJYE
"I want you to stay far away from me as possible. The further we are apart, the better it is for the both of us."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFlqAOtmKgi
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAb2FW81zhsB
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAiBTZ8G9DsE
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAtvvunhF7b6
"I know."1044Please respect copyright.PENANASzH3fokQng
"Then why are you doing this?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAfRHW9kmaEh
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.1044Please respect copyright.PENANARrHcbpatTI
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkeFhbWlunK
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAEeMx60RO16
"You should find another1044Please respect copyright.PENANAwcuRwbfXQL
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAxaPBrQfZdv
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I1044Please respect copyright.PENANAExra11s9Xj
will never forgive myself."1044Please respect copyright.PENANATrvHzAMraZ
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGQU7TwFFMA
I wanted to smile but I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAbZD6VrJZN5
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 1044Please respect copyright.PENANARdEcKGKZYg
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAIid98giOK9
like we had beef with each other.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAdOZ35zb81K
Just as I was about to 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAnNcXjbSUPE
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAPVqYUFavba
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAjwXFYETnDu
from his pocket and answered it.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAvQZ31TgMvL
"Hello? Christine?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAK8m2HDW11M
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAS6rCkrAWoU
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA70WXe3ovBv
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA0YuyEw1UKc
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAod4FqTGxna
"Where is she?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAyGo6ALbpHF
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAW4UtIytTMs
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAALQweLS6Wp
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOifofrwMI6
"Who is she with?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAXgBiPOLHJk
"We're about to find out. Let's go."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAxVHAbGVKdm
G-Dragon got up from the1044Please respect copyright.PENANAV4DFaZC48y
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 1044Please respect copyright.PENANALBJyPtp3Ey
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAzxOMTS3mXB
When we got in his car, 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAMbMvNXkY7A
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ1dwvt54x
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAfqIN4vNxKo
looked across towards the café.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAVlVbPPz0TK
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAnChcREaiyi
Through the huge window,1044Please respect copyright.PENANARn55WXuA94
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkhbEqfD8Mr
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAmN7HhS9MnC
day in the afternoon.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAU59CswpBP5
I searched for Zoey, but1044Please respect copyright.PENANA4lx0ONLM3F
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAjuS6OsUDbO
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA4QO5BoI6cG
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,1044Please respect copyright.PENANA6RpTj4BG8x
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAVp1WA9oy4r
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAXx1ZXs9Ofu
"Who is it?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAtGldF5xu8H
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA4liZ2V0IwK
"Seriously?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANA0Va6fRy9gG
"You think I'm kidding?" I turned to look at him. "Or are you now jealous that Zoey is hanging out with someone who isn't you?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANACiFBZme8Ly
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7ggXGLGRU
I rolled my eyes and 1044Please respect copyright.PENANANGW0YLP3zv
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhxQif4pmZO
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAUoS0o94wsH
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.1044Please respect copyright.PENANArYYu3Gg6CA
She was sipping her cup 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZG5QjdBcoM
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAdx2lI3zJ7G
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.1044Please respect copyright.PENANALvY7MlCWhC
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAeFwBz0d8yF
"Ya."1044Please respect copyright.PENANATmd9NQN2RC
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA2XnR2fRgNf
Zoey's smile made me 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAUbOHIO85Rn
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAPNQLNMT6Rx
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAC7Qf6H9Cev
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFa4xwBnZKR
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAQj8s1jLjGN
I felt a threat coming 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA3YbzOyjXno
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I1044Please respect copyright.PENANAPu5BFfwZlw
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0Y8GjNKZg
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA1JeE4L23cl
going on in there.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAB22SCrfMtB
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA0eWySbymcZ
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA4EoQhUADLC
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAbvizFa2aPy
Just as G-Dragon came 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAwmiD3pSwYE
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAyRZfa6v0zO
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA1Qp3CbZgKk
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAMgNACxVozM
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA2uyiBtM5mX
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhh7bRwFyTJ
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?1044Please respect copyright.PENANAxtnYJU8MZ0
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.1044Please respect copyright.PENANABKZmbTgWgb
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAziTprAn0rk
I didn't answer him as I1044Please respect copyright.PENANAiullwOASjK
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAuZlPYtvvIE
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 1044Please respect copyright.PENANADxZDwROu1D
managed to reach the café without getting hit.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAtyCo9jCniT
When I got to the café, a1044Please respect copyright.PENANAlCIpptjTAm
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5z3dlBq7AK
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAlnz7Qx20h3
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAmg64ESAXUj
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGWQqntZI5W
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZmd68CmaYl
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ8TKMuqYH
"Don't you dare try to 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAHBtKQ5XcXT
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 1044Please respect copyright.PENANACsWTGIVQMu
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA0EJMOfziMj
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOzBPawGIWl
"Christine told you where I was?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAPuOo423zOS
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5WU1qlezwT
I heard the bell of the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAsTwqJV9ez0
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAASau3ZSfR1
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.1044Please respect copyright.PENANApTJwuhF2ln
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAbItoSEi7Ps
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAjzA5JBHBLw
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.1044Please respect copyright.PENANACafxJwJUDh
"Stop taking all this 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAmAg4lKW7oW
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't1044Please respect copyright.PENANAWhx3sYsBMb
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA7lLNLI0pxv
The smile on Zoey's face1044Please respect copyright.PENANAMecoQRJXaD
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA4rxS0uh7Z8
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAvLX2unXxtx
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAUiKfJEJvfe
ourselves.1044Please respect copyright.PENANATbGnAfXTHp
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5JbdIhW3PU
"You're right," I said 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAB8Pzf64vG4
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated1044Please respect copyright.PENANAy3CXTwUcmy
attracting so much attention sometimes.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9ypCxVuXl4
The others had started 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhWazpQfd2u
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAze88telMlS
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAirS6EJBi7M
about who he was.1044Please respect copyright.PENANASW87G6pNLM
After we left the café, 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5EhJPhczKI
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAWP3l8lVJhh
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.1044Please respect copyright.PENANArxuu8iSjiv
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAf1zzRpcTx2
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAddmuwr1xcl
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAKsulEXmWMJ
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAlReyIMcYue
Zoey and I went in 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAwvEselEzRw
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAfABeNS6IWP
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.1044Please respect copyright.PENANASyQDT8fVl7
We were all back in the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAT4bGT2zaaz
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkc0KfpyYJ2
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkrcjYdXFnT
We gathered ourselves in1044Please respect copyright.PENANApf1zIfR6Hh
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAVdtmKVDeBK
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAVFEYhU8wdp
hands on my hips.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAwDmpk6cwZG
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5Zfjj2xxhW
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGilde4okLs
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAsLucsvsgA0
"Fine, I tell you," said1044Please respect copyright.PENANAisIdciH3q2
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAgNFS6NGqmT
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA82HGjZfxoj
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAMB5imRbchU
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAsZkHSw5ElN
"No, I don't mind," said1044Please respect copyright.PENANAXI2SYYZt06
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9BaMERfc0k
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAeQKmVIj3R5
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA3eobzcHg1H
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ5gxnk6Rn
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAW4HECtEl8E
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAqkndwJTrGN
"As much as that sounds 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5R6wWAI7o
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 1044Please respect copyright.PENANARYNAP5kYF4
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAe4qUYxHcv4
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAq7uFFhd0dx
I started to tap my foot1044Please respect copyright.PENANAHoy54ZNEpI
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAwQOuWhzSTG
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA3lxsbCcRuj
truth.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAWlDm4r8y2c
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA3Av8Kdtxi8
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAI5sH9b8Mq4
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAXPh3mQjzXe
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAT4nE9DrWB7
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAByRJqNB7sR
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA8sb5awFPIW
"Okay, okay, eish," said1044Please respect copyright.PENANA4VkgIJJFTI
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA0OeYJAjcml
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAxW8PmIzkVd
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAirjIr5EEsy
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAM9CsfgoaPN
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.1044Please respect copyright.PENANALUZxzKYGl9
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAwYPy9cSKmF
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA0aGTplISXJ
Zoey was quiet and I still felt that she wasn't telling us the whole truth. I decided to play along and not say a word.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAMQWBQpTdIp
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhfoWJrEUHQ
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA33eLWWkkqA
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3rQU75WAZ
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA2LYb2IWCXR
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAL8ZjS1r6dp
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZlaEr0CqYK
"Are you sure?" Daniel 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAIf8mFSL22R
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAt8XEU1gpiD
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAfGVEmgQxPn
haters or even us."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAe95iuNFLkF
Daniel was right. Zoey 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAamPMl80RYb
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAQcxEILmYpP
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGy33TtB7zh
telling the truth.1044Please respect copyright.PENANATGwam7YQxF
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAUld0G1NRGY
"A very nice guy that 1044Please respect copyright.PENANADPZzhWSBcI
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAjKCVQAem8v
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAepls2Aex6b
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAEzOXHtEkUL
I didn't want to 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkFD8dInp8l
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhzVbnHIsLh
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAaku16tvZHv
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA6G8z4vIJxN
"And not dead," said 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA8ggkr46Y4Z
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAb9PAgDobhD
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAv8j72DAStI
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA13cmfpKu5C
"And you better get 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAn0PmDXB5jc
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAsr9t0IPTNs
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAXvu3Z0NuFd
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAmu324Svy46
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."1044Please respect copyright.PENANABcjJsEtXTf
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA7AEgev7cKG
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGHG4qdFGjj
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAyZUsvzlcwg
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkpvsUmNpjB
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAe1yFgHOmz6
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.1044Please respect copyright.PENANACeb6sNu04q
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.1044Please respect copyright.PENANABik38BGxCe
One by one the BigBang 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAVy7k5SRlZX
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAPOoDt1rVIV
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 1044Please respect copyright.PENANASjkb5yc7Wk
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9k189zKD8P
When I went in my room, I1044Please respect copyright.PENANAuDNGISeeod
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA0DDv5aaZmL
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGDrv255ccg
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAcE5GoOg2cZ
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAP6OPIaPWJc
"About what?" I turned to look at her.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAobuWPuAIji
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAaxUN2oFqmI
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA2JQgnUmyzZ
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAiBCDM7xhDt
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9XqSwKQAhB
"Did you see the man's face?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAEpgo244dgZ
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAiNKCZFEVbR
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOrnO9nTm3z
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAIkyTrDwmRs
"I bet he is good 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAiAXiMx8b4Z
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZB5fdujlp
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAUhxyOCxA7L
told her to?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAl0qoWkKHzS
"Well, I believe her on that part. I'm just wondering how he managed to convince her to come with him. Maybe he threatened her?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAq0Xr7MsjEc
Christine's jaw dropped. "Don't say that. I know there is no any other logical explanation, but I think that's way too far."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA42Q9Y7aCGG
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAQuIfiWdukH
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5RKMDvNNjb
"That we have to find out."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkyTxwF7UJU
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAtEDgGnOe0e
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhgkbyFYkpw
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.1044Please respect copyright.PENANALIPgvTnAtK
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.1044Please respect copyright.PENANATQljJ6sxlV
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAvw8GkJiteq
Oh my. Had he told her 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAJkrZ9Pb7tJ
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA83OXnBYPkP
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAH6Z0y1EkdR
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAZivUFpAAz3
"What did you talk about?" I asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGda2hmGFsz
"He was just pissed that1044Please respect copyright.PENANAcfvyyyWCL3
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAEaUjX0RHe0
that might have upset me or something."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAj0r1jyHi93
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAO4dPGpmx53
"But he didn't."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAfu9P5voXxM
"I see why Sam asked," 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA3BjuOpnbj0
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGt9fj5niQv
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANA1rj2tr9sSE
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAJU9A2HZ9hO
And I hope it will never1044Please respect copyright.PENANAeFbHJwVIGK
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAAwB5aBtxqr
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 1044Please respect copyright.PENANANpXSy7h7f7
was yet to come at any moment.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9HCg59koRT
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAWhIvSuggNm
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAKGNtJSMtm0
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.1044Please respect copyright.PENANArkbNaV1ASo
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAABSsYdlNmb
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkI7vFzbQlC
Christine, Zoey and I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANArjYnj432qn
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAgJKdB4a4ge
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAiZErM5P745
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAgn9rBfxWyr
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkMQfmYZggR
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFjoxCX1SJf
"Yes, he is," said Lee 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFpfL79oU0D
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAbH9En9MFXz
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAHqsn1PqIOM
well."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAgnAmcF4gYn
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFj9vQ6VRkD
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA3zqiBnrNMR
"As I was saying," said Lee. "We were in the lobby when we received a package from the receptionist. Said it was for you guys."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAKoAdDcrLxm
"Us?" I asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAvx6jMJbyoR
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAWSyjcq2paJ
Christine and I rushed 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAwm4V5mF8e9
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAqcA6hwMLol
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his1044Please respect copyright.PENANAPERg7Jn42V
hand.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5DcukxjcwG
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAahYvF35u2F
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAgANXWy00xP
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAI38GDkzwfa
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAI03f4BTK8V
The package was wrapped in a brown wrapper and on top of it was a white envelope. It was directed to us just as Lee said.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA3knQjnIxTg
I took the letter and 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAIOkz1Twiwz
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove1044Please respect copyright.PENANAILlZrv4qmF
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:1044Please respect copyright.PENANAfj99eySWQY
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA6rSQUwXtwZ
"That's it?" Mike asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAwHiUKIqwCQ
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAn1OaBQaEKw
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA2wEck1Jntx
"All that the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANACv2icZDqN5
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAwLKKaeN2o3
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."1044Please respect copyright.PENANA6EpnsCP9sN
My eyes went wide and my1044Please respect copyright.PENANAtonGWdd6aU
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe1044Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3EXU8uNji
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA8mkKJ5gdbA
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAmEhxqBoOXs
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAzMAssZ1COo
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA2bI7Tjf5ii
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAWxhmjBUOYu
We did know him all right. The man who had been with Zoey. But who really was this guy? And this package? What could be in it?1044Please respect copyright.PENANAlHt98DXdIf
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAiw7htpFyjG
Christine threw Daniel 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOOLJTeCjx5
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAoqdU3dSX0K
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to1044Please respect copyright.PENANAQzjpBlTpK5
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAexTFDjJ4d5
person you barely even knew.1044Please respect copyright.PENANALXrEDPBuow
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFdNfbdMVcE
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vr4cW5dAY
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.1044Please respect copyright.PENANADEHyIEhd1i
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAHtRyHjuEGz
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAY9jvEO2rSc
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAUb251B6dlW
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAEzP38eTsZF
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.1044Please respect copyright.PENANANj4kdhLmGR
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAx216CJdC4H
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAIs2hoYpbXt
"Okay, but take your 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAPx0A4GAFLw
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 1044Please respect copyright.PENANA5t7L7gBXBZ
last prayers before I leave this earth."1044Please respect copyright.PENANAGNYcHeTADR
I rolled my eyes but I 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAByDflCy0lZ
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,1044Please respect copyright.PENANALHRC04MtRW
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAFoDbMHfjxV
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.1044Please respect copyright.PENANACrdkJ5jqia
The other three couldn't1044Please respect copyright.PENANARJcrOooA6B
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAwgQ8UPpNKd
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAwJTQQLfckA
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But1044Please respect copyright.PENANAObptulSZP5
nothing happened.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAM2kW2HIRar
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAfI6lHRFjrb
"What is it?" Christine asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA9xS5k9osXi
I looked up at the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAw9uE0zMXXi
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 1044Please respect copyright.PENANASvnQeAyt9k
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA6AQmAYjfdO
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA61W177TFr5
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAoMQyqBn4X0
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.1044Please respect copyright.PENANArh8091ns6M
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAnVNgzAOJ03
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA8ib3NrhlqO
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAkt3E7KLNP1
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.1044Please respect copyright.PENANADBYi4P8Mb5
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAArQ4CRLwRo
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"1044Please respect copyright.PENANAK6JmBEkttD
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA1bABGTVdce
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAM35Ka5nyQ0
It was then that Zoey 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAEYkOo7bJPB
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAa7lSZe0Gph
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAeh2PrJzoBA
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the1044Please respect copyright.PENANALzA8AiukmR
stranger who she was with today that sent it.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAuK5qE4TpgL
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAeIh47TiDWA
"Zoey will tell you all about it," I said. "I believe this is yours." I gave the teddy bear to Zoey who held it in her hand.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAODkZPGtt5R
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAArOKMJDygw
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAeH9oWJp3Mr
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"1044Please respect copyright.PENANA4N2r02YAYi
This time, they laughed 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAs7MCMLKeof
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we1044Please respect copyright.PENANAjvGglXm9Yo
had feared for our lives and it was for no good reason. I saw the 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAS4hmuLqeFx
reason to laugh along as well. Who knows what the future might hold? You1044Please respect copyright.PENANA4qosblDrdl
could die at any given day. We were just glad to be alive and laughing.1044Please respect copyright.PENANA3Qh8g1SHm8
"Stop it, guys," said Zoey with a frown. "This isn't funny." Lee just shook her head in disbelief.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAS2fdBgf18F
"You brought this on yourself, not us," said Mike.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1ggiBPunb
"What's with all the laughing?" Collins asked as he came into the lounge.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAgG2BL4tBwY
Zoey held up the bear 1044Please respect copyright.PENANARAu6rxCfoS
for Collins to see. It was such a funny site given that Zoey looked like1044Please respect copyright.PENANA682gyNkyzU
she was about to cry and she held the bear's little arm in between her 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAhYnXFHiKVT
fingers that it was dangling in midair. That sent us into another wave 1044Please respect copyright.PENANAa0SnOxSaZn
of laughter. This time, Mike and Christine were on the floor and Daniel 1044Please respect copyright.PENANANQy586TE1S
fell right beside me on the couch. I laughed so hard my stomach ached.1044Please respect copyright.PENANAOw5oIkZs4b
And surprisingly, Collins laughed too.
