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.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAqQEykNSY45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4t9j09RPN
I had never been this 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEiawWukez

Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37jRRMFM52

I couldn't help but 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DjStFIn3D

not telling us what was really going on?copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJubppjxNH45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bv9vMmwb0

"Did someone say my name?"copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT6rmnTP8H45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDWx9AaMPB
I cringed. He was one 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKsWwkvl3F
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCHLf8FqJq
face him either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI3BfdbqZ0
there with the music producer.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQPBUghMO345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VLuShPnCS
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTwYecVfuv45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZuKLKSqaC

away from us and heading toward the console.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW4YUjbQyF45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Dwvcs9AK

something or else we would be toast.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjFApNqLc345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSbsALGkRT

"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrytlZGO6D45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i5CDhGFrd

Christine was doing the 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUpM4HRmEP

As soon as we left the 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjdiJXTHYf

already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbyH7QYRUV
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJfU2YRVGP

G-Dragon drove away and 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TvcfAoAwv
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiOzQhEHHW
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KqwQTlkgb45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCql3ErFu3s

"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUaPQ3Aw9p45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oTrJc3ETf

With quick strides, I 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZPO01gqB9

park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvWJToakst
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgEPSiEdk4

but nothing.copyright protection41ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvutnmFPpf45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnky7dWiyp

me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9fJKDWTKD
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVThrm9ets

caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LTQPYozh1

Zoey's smile made me 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmVKyUZ6Kd
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwFbyS62ub

who was never scared of leading the conversation on and became pretty 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfVHZtBZAl

up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTq7LOyxi1

It was then that Zoey 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh72VcJsH0
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSI3DGHfvV
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR74bNQnAon

even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87VlBdTsP9
had feared for our lives and it was for no good reason. I saw the 45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcuv2yN9XW
