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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3HszMGAmh
I had never been this 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k4K7r2Pyl
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCcV7Vf6jg
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaLD82KohM
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer06AuRvYR
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSPvl6rhvC
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbddoWksT8p
"Sam!"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGCqn2Ryk2
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAusA7RNOKQ
Zoey came out of the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy9Gn4gfb2
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5igeUlolAs
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyXfPifKCG
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K0IZquIS5
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrs0VIufiC0
"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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRyWBN2iyf
"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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ITHXnLdBa
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmllvcDo6x
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJZSuzvOer
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALQQ6LlDP0
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO6mdD0Zez
I ignored her and said, 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFpegy5Ijf
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5Jjt0L7BD
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqQbiNwA6I
"What time is it?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZjFExa2hL
"10:35."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRkM2xOWC1
"Wow, time really passes by."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC8yxy6e8M
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqMpS5f4qN
"Let me go get my phone."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnsaXGgsao
Zoey rushed back to the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFLUBHYMI0
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMBEjBTSnG
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZZV2iZe4v
that was Zoey.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeis6sj6G5G
I soon received a 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmwtK4kMVi
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8616PHIO8
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZLdUz0Zcn
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPFaTekgdS
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx31QxMkprs
"I'm coming."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN2X46jWXY
I started heading 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDkRsJqgH8
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI1vjEdisK
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU0kWkgDbn
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdrxSSW7iJ
number. A number coming from another country.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo3FUyGexP
"Oh, who is this?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOkFiHTscF
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ033Juywdub
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p3PiXn0yN
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKUkBuNdXy
"Come on, we're already late."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXshFMXfXn
We went into the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sZZZnPAoW
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROUXD2FZVm
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H8hXukxmg
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yJUJ5nnea
When we got to YG, 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TytIbEuBu
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBVDB3UTZ4
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkolw8BegL5
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN5zscDu6r
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJf2Pyg5Ii
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCcFgF8qCM
Zoey held her earlobes 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQTvCVh3tw
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58TfqRETjC
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw3QCVoiAg
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTuuVWa4fL
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ093nTikXyG
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMyOtd6sz0
"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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd8RHh2FWR
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVfF3di1qg
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQhGuvD7BV
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRhLyWExAa
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP4dqaWz5I
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFVds4sOFd
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNMogeHRrz
"Then let's do so," said971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIow47ifAr
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fW9H8m8Qe
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaQ5SoQX9a
I had completely forgot 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKSVU9uOpy
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz3ieeiCuf
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkc6ed56AO
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9whQeDwy2B
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡausTsy0L6e
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uiEfZ0srj
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoTO7Udu6O
In the live room, there 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWrFvp5ru4
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmdcRz6meJ
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF6dEXDc06
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFu5Q0i61V
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SuwruiCJX
I looked at the others 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n9oByoE5b
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY5kZE38ZQ
producer started to play the tune for the song.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pu0G9AWjG
G-Dragon started to sing971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQk1zQhZBy
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTP3z8Wy8n
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOG5vlkF3r
to let them sing the first verse together.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkizcFNzlrK
Collins, the music 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1EeVIb1VT
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSUtVxNndG
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ5hjFJB7l
Christine then sang the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1W7t6bPzr
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq4wYODdi9
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXCSSJnaXT
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2SX4tB14y
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzhyhbABjU
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbQVBXIDZd
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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJYqYdGERy
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThmLrkPoH3
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBJKZCur4B
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5ced0Xfmi
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CvkEiZb50
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84pKQjHqkA
"You may," said Collins,971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw40swfTv68
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHEtakHdjE
You have to work on the backup vocals."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiQ66NOGAk
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdcg5ViYYi
If I hadn't known 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhSjRlyvjl
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6s3MrScYe
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzqm2BDWt5
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR6kRbUaL9
hollow inside.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s9Imjchlr
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPmZ9Tegvh
We continued recording 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPuOBJFLBq
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIQVXAaesF
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xxnOwOf7l
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9WhJOpa0E
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKUiVgvHKg
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw91r3WWaL
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa72rGLZXD
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxZA0cChvn
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44RyqKYsTG
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UlPLEguZU
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIQoELN2bT
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGCx0Z8WHW
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTi3eeVEeW
"But be back within an hour."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqGipWYVWI
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bori5OJ9C
"Fine, an hour and a half."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqy5ezw9BS
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEPnLQxO5c
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMmgVD7seW
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42Q2enOcdY
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSFWxzqNwV
"That, my friend," said 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPsuU8vrYM
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrws5919rwt
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7B8N2Wmq5
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbp3nkBzyx
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetuEzBIftY
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Tvxw48VG4
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibnPSZiaYg
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TDcgTpjH7
"Whenever you want us to971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfztQfFx9R
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aaySj3IzI
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4HErOajkO
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfBOvBTW6F
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMMsFEsnJ6
"Huh," I thought of all 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9FvuaodFW
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceXHYQoF4D
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kk7GaLeSx
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiMWmSZNry
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33EdpURwIE
"Come on, Sam," said 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIzBbXIrkC
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlDgzpOsDr
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhCU63XASj
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHxaN2fJBa
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGa1jjhpKk
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnWXI6ht0v
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJClmdDEBm
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1aPdZJxYb
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv6bLnp696
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcr4DDxHam
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2zLW4KqFk
"They aren't here," I said.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi6PkY8XGB
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9DSAv9oZQ
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnWAazT33m
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XRX6hiHeO
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCskbnETiOg
I nodded my head and we 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmrMolUhoA
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJcmlJGsXl
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRVk82et9v
We were in the lobby and971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj14sqnzU4
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBWn9GictT
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8AHpKoBDl
morning.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzr7jel9Iv
I first sent Zoey a text971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeBYlts9KJ
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwydCqUQM8g
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxDRslD5cl
"Hey, what are you looking at?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLCNVYecFg
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqHIuZttuH
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37rnMLAWjb
"Okay, shall we go?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA5IZ68yhl
"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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQRqYooQBt
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U2sk078gc
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDa2hewgxh
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jfS6xk3Ph
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56CSMA9EmN
Instead of using any one971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF7TpQ55YN
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRvSen3JX8
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IeBjDaeRB
attention, especially from the customers.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiOX6jG5rz
I had to admit, the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcMRNwzhzG
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigSwPCJKcR
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOWt4V9rC5
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4adWlJcPG
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMsdtFJsPu
A smartly dressed 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvorS3faa9v
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LJwEbdc86
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAepuA8zZp
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlaSVFag3q
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aWKr5XXtD
We were escorted to a 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzLRg88Cts
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIsqOFLIBG
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67b2BUsOAN
TOP pulled a chair for 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS1Q2B77gR
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomQT7eIAQJ
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeeB1mRMie
beside her.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VeUwgOfQO
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmAqcUaxlN
"Tell me about it," said Christine.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOtbWzOwDy
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIruJqvKjx
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lTbvEIKAP
"So, let's order," said Daesung.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2fTRroc9j
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDgpstdMyL
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSTl0uSvL1
As we were having our 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24zu06t8d6
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB95IS3Zlha
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9UcnKwEaI
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwZS6ScwIh
having fun wherever they were.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBvfkwkYKn
While I was having my 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo8wLOWtIX
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKIq5LW6hL
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL1dhvlUM2
unknown number had sent me a message again.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVM7JOcEgK
I tapped on the message 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAU6TjVPWi
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0DlUuso8K
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuByke4FlQp
the next message was more surprising.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8rvZaioo3
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxSBNTbG9k
Anything about what was 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMWVpldq6n
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1bJfgz2Dt
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUWaZ4tf4a
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6VLn7pa42
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLJY7l8GXI
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiglMy5qZqt
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tb2YakH6P
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCYD3wlv9p
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiVCEGnZVa
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QWqUVxSNE
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7RmHiuqPW
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6SS7Uo4ZS
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrViji9SbOj
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXEe6x0zZF
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG4ugODosD
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k9zgoI19b
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf1H9HT1bd
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rq4lLFjBc
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFLKABa03v
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkrodFb8ys
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatM1HpAsFA
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9S2Vo85KM
"Can we please stop 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN0bppyrSQ
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5vfZdML89
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sH5ItnpUQ
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdIy3W2AP8
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fPXeIrQgM
"No, let me," said 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdYQYM5uhD
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIzTAtl1L4
allow her to say what she wanted to say.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYRbdIIifu
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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch0G9WIBqa
"Because, Collins gave 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iPy33wuGn
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Uu85Hb18r
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3oDr2rlJe
Never."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNMQvGvvEI
There was silence on the971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz98w1TL0J
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw9vecGa7S
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ozT53BFI
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtqOyEN0ew
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxfux1Cgyv
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnuv6nXGbI
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eeBPNU4Ju
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFwQlkJtMf
"It's serious to 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2SBBqmKyw
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1EZLBkcnH
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNqXjtOVqf
babies."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMuYrmWZ9l
That was odd coming out 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SJk9hcKzC
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpygz13Up0s
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKmDv4KEhE
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdjCWNIbPV
laps.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSsKkukbs2
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX5BjK1q4V
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVP7IbsK0g
I really did. Something 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngWE7ozvIe
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uwaxnG6pk
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJnuG9KmyM
"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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltUZZEivXf
I quickly closed the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy23RVXqgx
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7C5uxXr5v
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn66XijV16L
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXVHoHGxrE
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQErEiAp5Y
I shook my head and I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvc2RWezNA
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALT97tmyD8
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmipEdFwzL
supposed to care. But I did.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqiKZfdPAN
I looked at myself and I971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnppXzCTPy
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2710F4JE69
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3OXhCNHRq
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8oeHnrq65
things and focus on what's really important.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9WYgUNgoc
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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9osLPJdss
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2sPns7oUX
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngiSPKLCFt
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QjVOm7o7I
I gulped. What had these971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnrsxC5DET
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyiJ4ti8aN
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO17sW2wMi
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgPTyUnQ1Q
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaUeAuAChX
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo57trdS6B
"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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1taf03YGi
While Christine was one 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYv4ZAXpIW
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVcEyxNip7
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWBhHoZugt
worse.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYtTieVClE
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUGroOGYGN
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDQNOLC18J
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DJFwTml5Y
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8axJ774cf
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKP0YeNSQe
I blushed. "Mike!"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxIwmDyd6O
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsTOJnpzz7
"I've tried kissing 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepT3eHBvMQ
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPU2m6wM4O
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0GAd2VjW5
"Uhh, if I were you, I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLeLG0sH2r
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SZ8aK4ECC
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGM5EcgMYp
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFQ5rZhroh
regretting it."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt0M0tJ9u6
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG6cYfJOCB
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BHGsjgqQL
"Fine, I'll listen to 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FnV3RwTrP
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzp6JbV0rX
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4OVs0OOC2
blushed.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31rZSrhbsV
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyZOQPzgYB
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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgTYxNAVKu
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi7kvLrkDK
We got to YG just in 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcvUs4pfbI
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8dSBbKkHC
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyBV5W6nxz
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJb8CgVk0C
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nLKahyWCj
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPIRz7cXRu
I couldn't help but feel971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CXOfCI3HZ
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpLzKs6nOP
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDayH5CPKFO
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg63TZZIJm3
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bx0PHlPnp
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBkaIkxtGu
I felt something inside 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXc2WXXzet
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegDxM5kcFo
couldn't believe what I was hearing.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hlRWAoJ6B
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqJ1faFO0Z
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW8Z1AhZwj
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAPMvTSehc
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3sMLE1XE6
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7v3T1mhqC
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwkWALhPVO
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAFywWqIJM
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYfHsLO2FP
"Then?" TOP asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCUTwRjE52
"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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdZeiMp5lo
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGk8KgNugF
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NupDgD8Rd
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuddkwOz9X
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfePLOslAG
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LrC9N04Xo
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidBwSCKlKV
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJkRd0dK7g
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfRJnHCimA
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1xAXVWx8W
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0nTSieCXG
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttdr3lbVx6
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23OdMQtFuA
I couldn't help but 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgxPVwZmSo
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUdFmhy62N
not telling us what was really going on?971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVODSoBx3t
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iAwqyOWuz
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpUXWjhgeV
"We've to look for her," said TOP.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19k5yx7joY
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5IwtoXA4x
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJySIVbT5k
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDn59fySRV
"Did someone say my name?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIpEi8sAjP
I cringed. He was one 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuFFMvCgA2
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fwmqozt2w
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOeWf2YcHq
the music producer.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy16hieLdU
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSKeO8TaPD
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7VbnLXuzF
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRqxxfyDaX
"Looks like you aren't 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg85HlQS7xE
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6lLXw3YpC
away from us and heading towards the console.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYJwKu7RgZ
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zA9t03fEn
I looked at the others 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8p7gVqn5w
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaNmG54dSC
something or else we would be toast.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tX52IkrVs
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdi0pHvdNl
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaGfkyNGvB
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2I7cLPCBc
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbvGY9nOUS
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKeMy1HZ29
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BlBZTeOLT
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFfgS43Tsu
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP8hJNYsej
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2WGd2W3EB
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23wYt303x4
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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBFSfuLXfU
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlKGztn9si
Mike and Daniel almost 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZfzemLSra
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mNDYwdyFZ
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOEfjWdWUs
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY34VB8SZt
"That's fine," said Taeyang.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3H5fXhxf5
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2NyfGJV7R
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhQBLx6GAX
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SLnKs6luW
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84S8uaWvQD
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy14sG2XVo
Christine was doing the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKxtgLxn7f
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnYzPMdKAP
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qqayqsZv1
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW0WxzdPf9
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNGqzx8CPi
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2HkpuJu46
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6HOcXJfoE
I wanted to ask where, 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkvVLI8RuO
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN51oxUXiwX
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwd5si6axN
music producer soon left.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtNvq9U2st
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbjQ7LT75G
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU2u1ohDmW
"Ya, we should," I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD5RYp5vAg
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxqAz0xxIM
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhGhYf8GNv
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q5T7GJ49t
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v7qld33pI
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPbx00AIkS
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv1RkeqL9m
As soon as we left the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp078RXHVw
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQKS8d9Dev
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ186R9tuRNi
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2EOBITLsu
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6GziVroZD
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ39IuxJVb
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELdcEuYTtm
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgwtnxYFdL
G-Dragon drove away and 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOq98riYy4
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhKeT4j4PF
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMM8oeEY84
"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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtkTwCVaPg
"What?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J7PBPiIyu
"Did you two argue?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEynuwnC2xD
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUQTwuJX1N
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzToyniogj
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIcYYtcmGx
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHw5gVBXer
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KzIcZHRXj
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQeb2YlYCx
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWLk9q7k4s
With quick strides, I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxwKUdpOrh
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccbHFye2Hs
could look at him directly in his face.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3rkfv1De3
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiJoRVOIzs
"I want you to tell me the truth."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5vWDDPul4
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXOQfTQHzG
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVwLQ3CJC6
G-Dragon chuckled and 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DTEUr1PIq
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23d9IDdDfv
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTDIvQNvrw
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOASle6ceSZ
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUG2ekUVcs
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VlrbFDVRj
"And how do you know?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2ZQVoQgrr
"I'm her best friend. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKTLg7zyXK
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3dSXnGKeM
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWEDcTrOCT
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6ZPcDdfOZ
"Zoey can't end her 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx3AmjCuSP
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML8zjS3UEj
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2tUTIoB5W
you did something."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZwtnD0Qnf
"Me?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VqVEc6gU4
"Da! Yes, you!"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8a48qE1lg
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2TumLzfj6
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjbZYRfGMn
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyhy0MOs6i
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqM6OJ1V3m
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK3raOowUZ
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqIKMsY8hr
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgROXi4u4GF
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxCKbrmZS9
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjVQPyiLVe
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGueQ2VBnF
"Ya. Sure."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAYhbGydTa
"Now, will you please 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyHvwTqB8z
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6PGtJLZOC
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSuws6hgOP
interview."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPigCKhxyKM
I didn't say anything, 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xl3Y10kl0
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLGLa4FiAN
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRXjs1zQG5
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtRmIcyBA1
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5mUeISu4E
but nothing.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7XRyWJS3g
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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw58789sLn4
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWA61x8EIU
"I'm not," I said as I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4bKnWr702
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ4fZWqSr7
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pqcIDG9Nn
G-Dragon sat down beside971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHeRbDOxXW
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD4KFODumT
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ76vVYX4b
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx9zLfAlV7
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAfVVzbbfU
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCkmNcNDVQ
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DKiD9dQzB
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZaxayFkZd
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡticvt2zbQS
"You love nature, don't you?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb1bkukw0k
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1AFFVeAYy
At that moment, I was so971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrFoLilz6H
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21WqG2yiua
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w746YVOrD
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFfPEbu6K0
even the noise around me seemed non existent.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujvYwiIAHu
Then I felt something 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5g4Del3zk
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUdw9oyEXj
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN28fg58KTS
was staring at me.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZz2SZUNPg
"What?" I asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2NrZyE5bH
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINstb6hycD
I blushed all of the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TjIwB06xZ
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOusbjjqqV
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgRqPvXjYy
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFi5rDiSEk
I would have said yes to971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppUyWEqre4
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrdJydht3w
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNxUVUW01U
were never meant to be.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTx2DQMrop1
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK0LbwxCTA
"Why?" He asked softly.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddthxcqgP7
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yydCZ3TPO
"What do you mean?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9IwEa9r1o
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdMFcJMDiq
"So?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0VDP1NZr5
"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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX1OSPYpUc
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRnXOUFZYY
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOBizc2JOA
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4n21u2DR2
"I know."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqHTQM2hZs
"Then why are you doing this?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTvakDxBRU
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmRwFqG08b
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGKjNDq198
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt57aeY717v
"You should find another971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyViDUVgQeV
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncasdVAmwB
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi7agbGmuv
will never forgive myself."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoRmvSKwaw
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4Vf4KrZSh
I wanted to smile but I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5DqG8ylvT
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqoWxIZwVe
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqSnn8nLmp
like we had beef with each other.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEKLvt22Gr
Just as I was about to 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4mWtjp19S
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdD2U8j9XI
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CCox8NRMD
from his pocket and answered it.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChtl4K757v
"Hello? Christine?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa8RLZ2n2R
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBmXvvRFZY
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyE4nHndyW
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvjcJnN9lO
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVbcHcXnFA
"Where is she?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlPletI20Y
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbLdoZF3Mg
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnGneoIf7R
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXSUOWwinu
"Who is she with?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOQtmhbuxr
"We're about to find out. Let's go."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQbBbElGvb
G-Dragon got up from the971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuivs7qmj6I
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lWU0shG3l
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tR8o1NRDF
When we got in his car, 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35LSqeuvFz
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlQSBhTbeB
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf2a6aETpT
looked across towards the café.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyhoESy1p4
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4EloaDMV2
Through the huge window,971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE7Ppb8o0e
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9ZbAwotJa
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WkUJzwToE
day in the afternoon.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFegjfxCAWS
I searched for Zoey, but971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lJrkz6m5p
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw4TJ1xf01
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7b30NH3xq
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4kOLZMgqh
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOhMgXADT3
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA5hEPiOCy
"Who is it?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3nWyqiDJv
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXeDEsEWiJ
"Seriously?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAws4KCHhA
"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?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkURzGLYY3e
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVm0FBsAzn
I rolled my eyes and 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2IOZ70Q9I
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkVCV6CUV8
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kacPaX1h8
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24TU5VoEjp
She was sipping her cup 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGVF4Wobpt
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xuZanQsfP
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKwoPeAISi
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13tyUDxyZh
"Ya."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mKN9H7xlp
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqryTBZ5yPN
Zoey's smile made me 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGHteJbJ1l
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadxjHzXIXO
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoUa3RLRod
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RzqcYPmjn
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkoUOKpi6y
I felt a threat coming 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim7ytAnlVM
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4VfZeYeD5
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CloxHZWLV
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgem2RCrGh
going on in there.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY11rs5KsR
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUusEyHnauT
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLjTdc5mwd
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy4ipE6B9M
Just as G-Dragon came 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2psuzcXNVE
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL8nPILeVx
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEJusauq2b
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqWSdvEqhO
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPbhG4xek2
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOXhgeVxFp
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC45b4z5QWk
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUifPvlpGo2
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH9XoKRaZB
I didn't answer him as I971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxWfy4Ibyz
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRukCoCKtwD
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVOavHWBKp
managed to reach the café without getting hit.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81LmmTT12b
When I got to the café, a971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡandzqaXO2X
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa6wcckQ99
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkDC4nveoC
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcOBng1Rmf
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL0Jf4sSU7
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0CdqEklEr
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n1eHuNOPk
"Don't you dare try to 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtGtamBzdn
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2lbgnMt2x
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0CWYRCiok
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHriKDQtcq
"Christine told you where I was?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOGnMMeW2Q
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaJb7HQLDA
I heard the bell of the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqDfXUuppn
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BijBqceVm
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzpPEcyCiU
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDxOjLvt73
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ehISzQtBp
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Elk3aS7mQ
"Stop taking all this 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENvPaIi9Mc
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadkylLRO8u
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvekFtzGGE
The smile on Zoey's face971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tVHIVIDLC
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPbE1zkeDw
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILAu1Sfk1x
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGunzspOOkD
ourselves.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTlD3giykx
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuIE4lASAV
"You're right," I said 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJlsruw6ZR
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcC1jyz6sL
attracting so much attention sometimes.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hN1GmlmAb
The others had started 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4BVZJqOkm
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkXdODXprZ
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq81HsTRzDK
about who he was.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeoCNBfVWh
After we left the café, 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q44zAf9ps
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe62t7No88h
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRijiDpOQ2
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS8axFvBOa
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFtnLmegfq
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK96mOpS60n
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NwFGUXVTp
Zoey and I went in 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83YMMQ6bex
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt1z9XkvGf
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEpCJ8yDe7
We were all back in the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40XghlHyFK
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98BkrbAy8x
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLomM6o2bP
We gathered ourselves in971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJwJhTVhqw
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqt3yuq06l
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ks3VToL76
hands on my hips.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0sTyUAh5e
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEwAIsJvzi
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevNDEBfEPc
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVbHxUy4YG
"Fine, I tell you," said971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEytRYc0MP
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU4R1ggUTx
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Evu1FytJ5
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu6xXSOR78
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS7gcQePKg
"No, I don't mind," said971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyRNTiIsUr
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQa7Rt1q49
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05HAFZ4Giy
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxs6bh3twx
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS78mQuFjOJ
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIInpJAx99Y
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35CnwNpTRV
"As much as that sounds 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCNKLyZ7K5
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKjDyGl769
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yfCFZO9mU
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM4V9a57rV
I started to tap my foot971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKwXLVXs0Z
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DlIcFoXtd
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrwq9tCcl4
truth.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY9u86OASJ
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxAUDGHd1y
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sg0Pf20Zs
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonLLAwnQVl
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAUk3zkmsO
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ug4GVdFVZ
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYbR8Lsjgw
"Okay, okay, eish," said971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRI9z99Qd5
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeSgTVxjRi
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGi7hRmr3K
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh2frf8OqI
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDoY8PPcoj
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh2aYXqEpa
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCiijkXyLN
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FWpCMxyEd
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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBoS298sLi
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tnNpKqboQ
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXlOOEFPew
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0wxUBenF1
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwceJ1NTYX
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YaFoIpvqV
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1cxcgUsZK
"Are you sure?" Daniel 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ3hxPZabm
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z0NDOZOoF
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9u60YTHOY
haters or even us."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5bpJZbaXs
Daniel was right. Zoey 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqxh3G8rUJ
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPr0cUcEqQ
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RfuN6EppK
telling the truth.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6FNrvPFJA
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8beCPVz8Bw
"A very nice guy that 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOevKYkOVyZ
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVZG2Kkcks
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI6ur26hGG
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhmvc4aByw
I didn't want to 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeocc7vyYjr
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQclqHKtfBp
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5VD8SUVbv
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviZDITyhFr
"And not dead," said 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuMr5cAGU4
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfdog0WWRN
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5ahXqny57
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV7zdSVLFZ
"And you better get 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKemwuwNL3a
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwX7aO9CSv
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHuMjXl0yA
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdT666JHlK
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NnxgK8880
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfjA8V8tBA
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3xwd2ErqS
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufzvRP18SV
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXNAH9Y5CN
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk0snJvOR7
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmlIKnXXBq
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnOLPhIX3Z
One by one the BigBang 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY41E3dQpF
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Mi76JSts
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFZA45nZRY
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTYmzsvl5j
When I went in my room, I971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8ZN4U8bS7
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuflxdSzeH
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl67ACilaHg
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO2YOXjYpn
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49kbtV7xRz
"About what?" I turned to look at her.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIctk54QKz
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluFt8Gmknv
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlElRN5FR2m
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTTMkuwiDZ
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbruVRM4x6N
"Did you see the man's face?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfi7JApDrC
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKWVwUjBau
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwWqYkyoUP
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQct6UX8BF
"I bet he is good 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2U2nXiChx
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4IStyl3s0
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhcekoHFbx
told her to?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaEGqcKmic
"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?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMSccf1kC0
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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡookrnGpnz8
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5RiD3mKIE
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRIDYkKIfr
"That we have to find out."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbynsHihlB
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqWTI2LWve
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC2cNhKYVg
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmriHqgfyqw
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ033b5qqhY
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1JqLYFnCk
Oh my. Had he told her 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbIFcdo9bo
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFpOPFE2H9
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacLBREGq3q
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG0jmdGsLU
"What did you talk about?" I asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU88w9tUuC7
"He was just pissed that971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lfpfPPhCI
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvvUnPgOhB
that might have upset me or something."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyMYHL6RZQ
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyPBvX0wuW
"But he didn't."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqtam5bQ2C
"I see why Sam asked," 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr9axgVgAa
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ixZQ0NKPb
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoAaBGNdfT
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFybgpfFbSz
And I hope it will never971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPjhyMqAVq
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9NBHhPwNc
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIiWYzubKb
was yet to come at any moment.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwUawdYnB1
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfifjhhu5b
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLr1xdzwYG
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPTJnY5pyk
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSr2tHpapY
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjuZ95UK1U
Christine, Zoey and I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3BJc2sby0
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhfH9XWL2T
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF13GnDexY9
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn6Bo7cVdU
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YR9eVhvA1
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlH8lC4tXP
"Yes, he is," said Lee 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EIaUTArtD
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusvEKBgGEA
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv7RZUxJCX
well."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE9CDT9rBO
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqaPFa2Y9W
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxiNsFSRMv
"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."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGgfmK4lQv
"Us?" I asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQxY4aCUEY
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIuX5FKj62
Christine and I rushed 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUzkfEdLib
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzpLNl8gnq
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjenlblCDMz
hand.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCeBPwBLBE
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqvGrCbTmf
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6HnHWdtTH
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3hPopuJ43
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH72UagX9z
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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLTYoW8WTA
I took the letter and 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2li3Arx10
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjgsPRtCaJ
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NHk68JyHT
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc3hJuSQfp
"That's it?" Mike asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVW40OJRuv
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE6mXWbK8u
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ706FcWoqyp
"All that the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKwuutrCdy
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DFTD4cBvr
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa61xMMMkd
My eyes went wide and my971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6aRnXTq3p
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNJk6M3vR7
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8qiJyAfU9
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvksX1dPIYo
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3rTPnZNj5
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIYPS9lCuG
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wfSa2c3WU
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?971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm14URo4k1F
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrOaYijRwt
Christine threw Daniel 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXMdmOf2r1
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PjxXgUoRP
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7KYMoXdw2
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclGltWR0gN
person you barely even knew.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25AygGioqI
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVqu94OxIM
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4E77BRnbq
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERRxKFW289
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKQkHm0L6S
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5KW4ppuLt
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9imMQTzoDx
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHXavXehoS
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpG4B187zv
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSsNcqrLd9
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdw3g2SBht
"Okay, but take your 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaToiMLRNgC
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7LNnlZlQM
last prayers before I leave this earth."971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZUxJ86z8X
I rolled my eyes but I 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFySfJYiTX
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjazCak9yeW
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFehGeHGl4o
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPTcx8VhfA
The other three couldn't971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzZsfa9SXT
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gRRx6YPWc
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn0bXoZm6d
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rd0YSv8VU
nothing happened.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAgBiauLv2
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbSRInTyCP
"What is it?" Christine asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfrLiyjy4P
I looked up at the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7kCUwLmRI
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThPmGzUURP
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nrb3ZSWAt
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaSgHp89TL
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDSqbIBVih
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAthaXDXXOn
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g9kWwaLQg
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwvGfWlwXl
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkyf4IUuRj
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwdjo9CXG1
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IxSSYU1aQ
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCguwOTGzZ
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8677yWHbo
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFzEI2dkSO
It was then that Zoey 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAbjS2mUxA
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAky02yPOhr
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr7VAduDlH
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsfoFwB7Fy
stranger who she was with today that sent it.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxCDnpTxBb
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ06t4igAi
"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.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEVzxjyAqL
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgoCKRnOHE
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjs4l7Cofi
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26czEyWs68
This time, they laughed 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoblOFmZzR
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5AuNyVYKA
had feared for our lives and it was for no good reason. I saw the 971Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYYSoHtdFc
