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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsApOjrLdW
I had never been this 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0jPs2Ykg8
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhPrU8ue5j
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZJ0pXQSCT
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dRVjWeAUM
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZNQrrKdO3
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVJBgatI53
"Sam!"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr548Yye49
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLsECkGH7z
Zoey came out of the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvikcJYB0O
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DcNdZXXYB
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM806FKcUCk
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GejvaMg91
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXlh0BlTa1
"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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp4PniC843
"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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMJ3G1pWXY
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMlJbrIdrg
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTkbwKSM2Z
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVNbXnlXyX
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wWTZZDSZt
I ignored her and said, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxYCYGOUax
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgPfMkNKSZ
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E1fKDpc3e
"What time is it?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F92hUQWr1
"10:35."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38R0Kr5lK4
"Wow, time really passes by."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoft8Bg5OO
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3smyXV6rT
"Let me go get my phone."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgZpXKxN1O
Zoey rushed back to the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcNayi9t5E
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8hSJNi8Od
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7DODk20sh
that was Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb2lLlMa6h
I soon received a 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GDGwKMpNu
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeBfqX1w80
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizqkWMf3Ev
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfmkXLVm73
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlvUY4LPlq
"I'm coming."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarwiGEu2AK
I started heading 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtCRz5yyOA
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9AuX6EGf1
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLvSAxgwMY
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpH4soOAMT
number. A number coming from another country.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzK1sRB8i0
"Oh, who is this?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dB5lB9FfO
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECmlZNZTFt
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLOQjRv7gA
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfGp7JfHb8
"Come on, we're already late."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7ZoerMPuX
We went into the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNQtvy0k8W
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVbfeslLDy
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZawSPCqsJm
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7kYxMgvus
When we got to YG, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP6Pi3F5bX
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMjYzQ6ZOs
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEguyHrGDc
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSgmAGr92N
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhUGtoUSoG
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3UP56GQhR
Zoey held her earlobes 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky22Q6gLhQ
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjSbUX4O1p
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW7Xe1OeQX
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBgODdFb17
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8UWhnLdsp
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfflgYHeBnw
"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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63vlrNVA20
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMKcp3NmJw
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUxo5X0aaI
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5fKRg0prl
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjECoqAvzkn
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmTvlhZShK
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsmRf1BuKY
"Then let's do so," said1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBX7hWwQgO
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU3oxjDPI8
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBxSnY04Ah
I had completely forgot 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe51hdSh164
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HEYkoU6zY
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wW6Nwx3NR
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjxEc520UL
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCRVaVAQnk
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoD2wjU53F
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUHR9C6Heu
In the live room, there 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m1WqCNDih
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6glVWTeOUv
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys3HZUZIm2
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dt0JwTaxM
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqPADs71o9
I looked at the others 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW6mSN1WQA
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnKd10LxH5
producer started to play the tune for the song.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHQYUYtsnf
G-Dragon started to sing1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzOVPGg3b6
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2BEi8MNis
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy634sajywk
to let them sing the first verse together.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuxST9uepo
Collins, the music 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenXuICWO9r
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfQvT9TPjT
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdwqyE34Mi
Christine then sang the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CK8Mrz5aj
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenr2g4SiQ6
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qEbacPP1y
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbqLLelg6v
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPSABePVhF
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsAwA9PF29
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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzVS4J6M9V
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQEZbIJGFP
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurqeMjikvR
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElMOv0YGVe
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGNBlhE8Do
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekwRDKgUyg
"You may," said Collins,1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpDV0CBB7U
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiDMPY9Zxt
You have to work on the backup vocals."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZOxdggp2K
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoqn6o3lCz
If I hadn't known 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL52ulDuMVS
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdwLPLhQTO
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH91HVi9H5
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldWQlOut7T
hollow inside.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoLESXizTq
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUFtwgomAC
We continued recording 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhCoUHnIe3
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kPFhs7Y8p
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XNZ0d6qis
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2jvCNRxIF
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJxPYXKwQl
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeI1UyMvhV
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdKqvwkpV3
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9395PWKze
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SRU1cj7Ld
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw0N3cNSD6
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm1uDfXhud
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNedrNDRl2
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaFfbtiicG
"But be back within an hour."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BBxT8jGbQ
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH0FslKzAH
"Fine, an hour and a half."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRi5RmV0kc
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYykrVm4yr
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6fFe7LM0t
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQyA9VeIef
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ic3HCCqCz
"That, my friend," said 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU1nmViSoc
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyepnCw5VVK
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtXAqjEEEX
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYoWT4QNb9
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquDBrMcRU1
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA1CkTrQPJ
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyyU7zXGnS
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1gy9kvEgm
"Whenever you want us to1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tYcGWT3dX
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvPoJczVjM
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXljY3GWsi
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3plBGTxiJ
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19kMBuHPlE
"Huh," I thought of all 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHObmMWyp5
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vRw8pk2Gk
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTDIQF2MMF
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZp4soWDjC
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5GRWsGKE6
"Come on, Sam," said 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCbRcYkhNH
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDPkdId6TD
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcisTalgPu
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW1JgxXhus
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSuDTlWg3v
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XTYqQAVIe
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyGNn6pfkH
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYnziQAOex
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI8l4IgtQD
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisFbh3dar9
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxuLeo5lL6
"They aren't here," I said.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfajOmoFBV
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSZCw13Fy9
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXfioGEFYu
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL4IfX9JsC
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lCL95PF9r
I nodded my head and we 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek1tpOSUwP
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi3shCcYda
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0afM1u0jj
We were in the lobby and1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9GueW0IiW
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72ihLBv3by
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIehs7pM3u
morning.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciK5OqeOIp
I first sent Zoey a text1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFVWb4BjrD
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi5AzeHhrt
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVcHsjf98z
"Hey, what are you looking at?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyQjrMnCLJ
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBJSRJVlBR
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMHuGBY7L1
"Okay, shall we go?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxy2NV3UKi
"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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q5Pcv4HtH
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ayaO750P2
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAJRWYEQs4
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuDkHHA3m1
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp8Lt4BWuc
Instead of using any one1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXstkDQoQ7c
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5VvT1XDL9
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMwCCDrcUV
attention, especially from the customers.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzn6uxWWxx
I had to admit, the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QkhOmXEp2
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWpGdLSJYM
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSjdfajYrK
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0f7ZMOHJW
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKhiFp2DEo
A smartly dressed 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysSYZq6pn3
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi6IypDZ0g
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuQxeRh6oa
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3EChCvrII
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaOH8MP7yy
We were escorted to a 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zgip5IrOT
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDlXs86wcq
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM62NNqt0fy
TOP pulled a chair for 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5yzJUISXC
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q2SOFBVMF
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyEoZRknWe
beside her.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsd2VN6Hrt
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob0t8YoDph
"Tell me about it," said Christine.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9X9tiShi9
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7wC0O96P1
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71hzOwUxoo
"So, let's order," said Daesung.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mhW4hKfAA
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUNke4VbtO
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ75OTdBbJ8
As we were having our 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQfh8iP39q
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb3PSpsRLN
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsCl5D31tM
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B0NGY5OBq
having fun wherever they were.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXVhydZwxx
While I was having my 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAIDhLDUmb
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1G8aPpfU1
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18U8ky5b0S
unknown number had sent me a message again.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHBpLiwQlQ
I tapped on the message 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF83AyOHY3x
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q36h0fZMT
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54L3BYWbVG
the next message was more surprising.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoNvLE6hxn
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk5iRnEi0b
Anything about what was 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHs1XJq4CP
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GUpkFpq4a
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlFR8pM5HD
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7BrQ0vIag
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKGUwGGRgv
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xV1RJ44mE
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxW8ZDnlx1
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6txJy2k19
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fzLHXVL4u
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX5etFl5uP
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1WexSM9If
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwBLOR8NU2
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBknIPdG9b
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWoqONsSd7
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBUs4G9cd4
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfo4gqW9md
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgXntWx1o1
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwwsd2JqM8
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG60ql0ytMm
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzE4rU88iB
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcDHvtNWA7
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6zMvLarU2
"Can we please stop 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYv68YweBv
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NfO2z7GAI
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPV02AxE1q
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbiALMNd4j
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A88D22vz5
"No, let me," said 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqORojrIHIr
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuii0qPT2z
allow her to say what she wanted to say.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRPwSkOTpW
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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00YzgAsJr3
"Because, Collins gave 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BHPMLnpSg
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IGfJqQZA2
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhdJ30L6gB
Never."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ty3gqvRIQ
There was silence on the1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIhNqwqJpX
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVsy2RgWDF
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gXKxKT5oy
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUkBM3uubG
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX6B1TJMzg
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0LYsHXqxr
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdXCzdBVMg
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROs9wieflC
"It's serious to 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6uXPQz09Q
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhLLg5hOZC
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiaZ1bze60
babies."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtHJ2fOHy4
That was odd coming out 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2OdfCMtoF
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI4WZ2OygE
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwdqdcYkzC
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfkdCFNLXU
laps.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNSa5p2GvY
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RHH1YwqVt
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLmYglwD3G
I really did. Something 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cek0l8MNY
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcWfrjlN0M
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lwwV9HbpQ
"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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeCCdL1th2
I quickly closed the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlltXbkDFN
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZGpGGTqxM
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4jOoR2vXE
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq8CRF4oKi
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QKhRJaNIW
I shook my head and I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwsHJ9Sra1
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyuNIF97x1
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFyH1OJ6Qu
supposed to care. But I did.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs4EzXk4Mw
I looked at myself and I1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca3ltDgVZo
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNvkcrcACz
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WFHmQmKWE
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFchHsE1lK
things and focus on what's really important.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTIrcRJsBb
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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOtEAq1Qf0
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBr4dIxMFan
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrtNGZwT6R
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ772AefGs1w
I gulped. What had these1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j0269cauW
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7GxWKEoo0
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO6QbHi6Op
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2ngtKTkdT
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOInt3bQc4e
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjozvAgJxZc
"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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifNgHFf5eR
While Christine was one 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNn8Tamhh3
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uwXaEn1lB
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPFxgxYw37
worse.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDBQjSQ3Ni
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYZ653gS5p
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSscUu3M7n
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebvVs14fHb
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGBihw5Etz
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0uk857H6W
I blushed. "Mike!"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCJgPxV2XJ
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz02OlGUaAI
"I've tried kissing 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVlCUhc38B
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXz6Tw67lg
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY0AbDNpdW
"Uhh, if I were you, I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbpvNOEFNT
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWYKun1uFn
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwff21xwEAq
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bPQcEnND1
regretting it."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpNVa29Pbd
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aq3jTzVQH
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF4GSaqTlc
"Fine, I'll listen to 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPDxHLvZKm
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvSqNz1ZFs
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJE1lzSwAB
blushed.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub2v0qp8ES
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1HESSs1A0
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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ4BbJ7VDg
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvezQsYqKfy
We got to YG just in 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmqOq7m2Hk
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6WdVg33z2
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK7U33aaPA
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEDmvKcIoF
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxxBuXsdb6
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VkdaG7BIR
I couldn't help but feel1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyBXw7QaJM
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzW6yHASDR
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqtzwjOi9v
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNtyMAa6yE
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmsAUVYrU9
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPA8mQe2Mu
I felt something inside 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugL4059IkU
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk7kjSiGBG
couldn't believe what I was hearing.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hwl7PBsFj
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5zKBV36iP
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWSMTDXtng
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAsyVAxgmJ
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jT8pykgPO
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaNZ9lGN4r
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5d5fxs1l2
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmBAnwBR3c
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjR0V071im
"Then?" TOP asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNcSwR2Kp6
"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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqG0XEBApU
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5UkajqkgC
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz9s7Wq2y1
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4z0Yu66aC
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s4eMgG4QU
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa5JiWP7xq
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EGHAtHjpa
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xT0lP1ufw
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tJ2PqNdJi
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8gf7tecvs
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcDD7ObN1H
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt11Ht856KM
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjTRKXuXo0
I couldn't help but 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W2Kvfjxov
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5WnMtOVtb
not telling us what was really going on?1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYtOMZ6qdV
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bD5dKoEsW
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFmXCk0bno
"We've to look for her," said TOP.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzsVRQ8jlj
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUoBrsu4LH
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ6L1LFIgg
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SgJJIdXqC
"Did someone say my name?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlDtdVf47r
I cringed. He was one 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMf1CeCskO
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdquCmS8jlv
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0P3cTlfkf
the music producer.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsHU5UVc8p
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpWdCSkkT4
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhWJrbpEWu
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsAasfvROs
"Looks like you aren't 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPvP4qO2Q6
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFfD5IqOT5
away from us and heading towards the console.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhbqDhMChf
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8T2OV6pWy
I looked at the others 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgwIgqvbuR
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3RLNonBGC
something or else we would be toast.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CvWwWpOEo
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0qCukiZdA
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJlXJbMHwf
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1uiw2XL4B
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVodeWyG3Sk
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo2SIkgHK3
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6od0vq1Jvc
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1A4UJJWG5
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qbFv65FN4
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiGdOcIQZl
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpaIAO0Kpg
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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJjEAKH6Qn
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguHJVkkK64
Mike and Daniel almost 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fkSdqtGzG
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sq4veCEK9
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11nv8YhrpC
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ThY1ZvhLr
"That's fine," said Taeyang.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhqnVWh4Ax
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQqWh1pK6t
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9jCWgTxJ4
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPQD3Xa5fg
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrQ8awWsr6
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCyTDcY2aw
Christine was doing the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n29JieZDV
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUKg295v7w
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZOC1jzJal
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdThcCcVBUT
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD2btmY004
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjixAuO6Ax6
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHVsiAzLzn
I wanted to ask where, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R003AiqFX
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIo1REUPHc
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE0yZFacvs
music producer soon left.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDNT8AHTsT
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALIzVDJz1s
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl02P3LNZid
"Ya, we should," I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg3DnU6f7f
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AcO637vNo
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zY7UkvvvW
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmTKo1jUPK
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN0SovrK7w
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraPxWfolyt
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydDhjoHa0m
As soon as we left the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1wpvmRGE6
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNablwWzto
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5NXAt6dYc
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvQJCHMiqZ
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsha40sDQ31
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNP34rjzBG
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRRREOtzrq
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkdbFbMW9P
G-Dragon drove away and 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8kPKd22TM
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPhLOk9cro
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UsiHRqYYS
"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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8PZFazEjg
"What?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs1EBfHmS2
"Did you two argue?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsEFqdjobQ
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfV0FDzPYX
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmg4AaVj1H
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAEe7e6P7o
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeJFZJhF4K
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpWPHWUaJr
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nVSca1xWC
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5H5WtY5Dk
With quick strides, I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlabhj8rRn
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKITWvYQRZO
could look at him directly in his face.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX0B6DclzM
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lyGCVk9jW
"I want you to tell me the truth."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYG8t5S9KJE
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7R8EeoMAu
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPxwJsbIBD
G-Dragon chuckled and 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjCjXqckr4
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqpva0Mv9H
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQRIWHv460
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe1TqejMq2
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD2osi1vPA
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpIAnH5EfO
"And how do you know?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9d1uQ95jqT
"I'm her best friend. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNV8gB6Cbt
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVGG9UpAHt
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5DVVBfJtV
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FMqilZwW9
"Zoey can't end her 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB14uATIit
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKbYsOsDlz
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcjXBiZJ3u
you did something."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ez7ocvPi7
"Me?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ypW4UAa3
"Da! Yes, you!"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ428TLFISwG
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDru9EPGyO
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjBXt8UD9Q
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBgJe4ZlZ0
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IGHesLH51
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvOSEuDSW3
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRHpraDdKy
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOkitwx5jx
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgG1uuwyjK
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgURQoFcm0I
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbiUxFFzlC
"Ya. Sure."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDOSzjJshH
"Now, will you please 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu0k7FlTWB
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjn82yphp6
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X9VCKrHbi
interview."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf2ZChD8nL
I didn't say anything, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuInC4ya4d3
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa6bWdveOK
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75mKq5mtqa
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6N5AAEfwq
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOSHDQ1iP5
but nothing.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUe6bgNLk9
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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIY2ClRxjm
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnD2tMsAif
"I'm not," I said as I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLTIoXxAiG
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFuXm18JGa
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DX4hnWjEX
G-Dragon sat down beside1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVi6HfkKaE
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv6RAI9mK6
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZEfFGY7hk
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSEIRukTH0
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSkVMoWK3R
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXlTKqO9Pi
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5DeSBNqsR
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaVfeEwlef
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANiz6WvMgW
"You love nature, don't you?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcktOfEbsj
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNXBgDbeGs
At that moment, I was so1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVq8Smh2du
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpr4Oa10LR
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudO1MMqsZR
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5uC2CCSWg
even the noise around me seemed non existent.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHb0GURAKI
Then I felt something 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7HTWkfl7g
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5X3rXVxdP
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq5di1cceG
was staring at me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmninzgdaCD
"What?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmyPmtF5a8
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFphWz7dZT5
I blushed all of the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGc6wJ8di3
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJRbGXbaF4
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscE61vasN9
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRLzd0CGhW
I would have said yes to1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0URo9bb2Gv
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdgCxgu6qF
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXMBNCnKGC
were never meant to be.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnLEGXT4TD
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb7W3Eln7q
"Why?" He asked softly.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2gYH0H2qh
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AFecTu9KK
"What do you mean?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFu2oXheKv
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToviR7L4zU
"So?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a4lGSggut
"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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ7LcD5yA3
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX88tft9ROm
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IOVMIWXsc
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wSw9ub2lw
"I know."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05VCDIdXVI
"Then why are you doing this?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgW2bi1pTu
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VfsWHnL4X
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgmfWCAmg3
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XLVrL2MbT
"You should find another1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpvLDiVGRs
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuoxDesbSi
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IgqdH3cIT
will never forgive myself."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRRFFXqieZ
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobjDmiq6nJ
I wanted to smile but I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUqUtUNlDj
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj8KbGhdTF
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ55YtVSdY
like we had beef with each other.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANQmlFuDlo
Just as I was about to 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkNJ4SaaL0
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4KnO5bNEb
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0UUF5jm36
from his pocket and answered it.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYdZ4zArVg
"Hello? Christine?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90xu83T1Hb
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuqvDH0kRh
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcroj7OM7z
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW52RDke5JX
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIucdFv5rXf
"Where is she?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdTf1FiHZH
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ7GRcFS1P
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFozhevg9cH
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnSCkuZnpt
"Who is she with?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqgXShlTdq
"We're about to find out. Let's go."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM79JIvQ60
G-Dragon got up from the1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIaA8uVIwk
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIlw32B64i
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOywNwPZnbV
When we got in his car, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzZr9aWDAE
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN1hZdgXNi
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDSc6qWq9C
looked across towards the café.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dLvjVeil0
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RZNu9ZhXG
Through the huge window,1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vl0zUYr0S
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQMAm38Fac
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8xKCvqoQR
day in the afternoon.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoL9GT5G4V
I searched for Zoey, but1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6LRyVQZOC
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHh9zY0dM6
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrQljemvAc
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnaVzyYBDi
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiSn4ypsny
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3fbuTs9L1
"Who is it?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qNHjP4fgA
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB0OdR3UyZ
"Seriously?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NatiaDiwi
"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?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NGAo1I9Dm
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxZ7I9XvM1
I rolled my eyes and 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXT9sv34rN
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoIwdo6oNr
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRirbVUZ9qS
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk5rGtvXTu
She was sipping her cup 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eZXBXwhnw
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvrL3ID600
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW0kr46Yaf
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5cFmOQYVR
"Ya."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o5ZCcGVIr
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVfKtfb9FC
Zoey's smile made me 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFrDcE8h3S
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsVUStNcAn
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B0D3pwGh6
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGdEgUdn1w
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbA7fEDJOk
I felt a threat coming 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILM8EkMnZK
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpS72B5EgR
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8CkhyvBDK
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1xalwzWcA
going on in there.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWM62UURRJ
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LHtyMoHVA
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhiPsuYBUI
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UzPp1bTaz
Just as G-Dragon came 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO6KMjrgmR
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUVlpFbKI4
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q2MKkYLPr
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqHstASvLr
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmrrcYumVz
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6EUpl9TJ9
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNytFZ6AkX
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdfrA35pfa
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oV7E9J3sn
I didn't answer him as I1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YKXcqxThP
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtugDf5odG1
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHuXFUWLQJ
managed to reach the café without getting hit.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsffNLWI2ND
When I got to the café, a1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGISy3t90Cj
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7wxweWY4U
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHahEXeohST
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UZuGuiwmm
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4tLVYNrY9
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcrKZ1gMTx
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurPVsCuAQr
"Don't you dare try to 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanZmaCarl1
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKg5F1PRHQ
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS13N9i6Wea
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPV9EfK0p2
"Christine told you where I was?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDpZkUWj8C
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIS2xxQc4y
I heard the bell of the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt18tt5UJ2L
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTBUqvcrNk
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUJhE5wogv
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBbHnldsQR
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQON9I2D4H
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuZBYdPcxf
"Stop taking all this 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7PWZKFIZs
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpnHenuGcl
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DwZebwUfc
The smile on Zoey's face1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz4xoDMb3s
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGQrQkgBaz
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqJY2r9gpC
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFcRL23GlB
ourselves.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjal6IIHzA
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5x5hGwP0X
"You're right," I said 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwYrEcG2mY
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMUEV6LygY
attracting so much attention sometimes.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLjjgLZ3H1
The others had started 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMocUjXbRD
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LUCrfyo6x
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMpLSoRgfF
about who he was.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FGgQpGwh9
After we left the café, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymn9uAc97k
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabxIFe6UHI
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI864mQ0HP
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRHc3H3rGx
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgjlS2ZSsB
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RAym7p7On
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV07XImQf0V
Zoey and I went in 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo39vJ2y0Gp
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCLn4El7Ud
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlfRaT3N5k
We were all back in the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UzaSJrSWN
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbV5ebcp1S
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ3OcQwtbx
We gathered ourselves in1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zqo4ZiTHy
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fG1Uqhvh2
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjS4MdhqwK
hands on my hips.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjyxXxRWAt
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxPmTkfZrt
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRjKd7riMg
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBugOwBnAn
"Fine, I tell you," said1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA5qRwwowg
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiEc4eU4aW
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LlncGeqcN
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXXlv4WoCZ
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklzO1SrMHy
"No, I don't mind," said1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wHBYqcBI1
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqsCvpVYyS
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgz7wAAu6s
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CSx7dpxSI
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBCzPKm0Dn
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ipWHMmmdH
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUB4NdlqGK
"As much as that sounds 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVCqpwQjxv
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1oMZVcGq2
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRsx9wAzkb
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAkylWZCM0
I started to tap my foot1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEtVfPeQaH
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EjE655BV1
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9dZV8MMSg
truth.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxm5fVNfIL
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9yF2jlLF5
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEvVlHmTMK
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7pbsOS9xz
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dTl8Dfy2f
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT0YKm2nNk
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIJhJAas9Q
"Okay, okay, eish," said1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNemNpO91DK
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToTyZn68ok
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9mU2hc7Lv
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBzFe7gvTy
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVfkOFHf69
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScu6YvaBFw
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcJg80F7zd
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgze8kLBrqk
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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLaHn4EZoh
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWtwapNm4A
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx5qRYvDlS
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoRfgdrnPr
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaGTcnPsET
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9EjwjzI86
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOilnPUkNH1
"Are you sure?" Daniel 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0XfqvbKXy
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSGngSbHZy
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCPSgX9wil
haters or even us."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV56uanJP6k
Daniel was right. Zoey 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJsDDl2goF
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TamZfBt1V
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjDd4O8jxV
telling the truth.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgu5xhAtLp
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtONzQCady9
"A very nice guy that 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO87N8tesL
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyErjaQy3kX
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWHLlxYG3x
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwZ4apNEZR
I didn't want to 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6XDB4mfDm
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLIJjaypVy
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtSK3hdSHJ
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2NPzgdkND
"And not dead," said 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcWWZRuFBG
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkerD2xynn
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhMhEFhY0y
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eYlGGzGSY
"And you better get 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrdMWGUpEj
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqp54GNfQ0
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhiXr1e10f
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4SI3xDinM
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IDP0JbyO7
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrPPZXPX6u
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWakvFy8gm
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tip5GdxC2
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn1V9jAd9a
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCv9H5Tryv
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB4jvKcnMw
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x5O041l0L
One by one the BigBang 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzi6LQMdHF
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHQHCrUKRU
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9ty0CM4z7
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q9gn9m7Qz
When I went in my room, I1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1yqpYXapr
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Wd1Mqkhf2
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNXndIIF1A
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7naqMHeYV
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB2IG1bPug
"About what?" I turned to look at her.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACMq0qaZnb
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUN5VI6kk6
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHxlXakG0z
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmJVjVNnM0
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZSgGjI39B
"Did you see the man's face?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpQxDheTTd
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHIBNddxCe
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVqwTajMLt
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCDMeIRP8S
"I bet he is good 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsme6b9k9Ab
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fg9qS5qyT
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSQLAPvRFP
told her to?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9j018ckR0
"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?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77eMzA1nwf
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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZLRaupBcz
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp3CxGr3kB
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdgJpjIZM4
"That we have to find out."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqqdp0uR9Y
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDILZ5y2BVg
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20hjviOd5c
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk09Nrcx0C
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGhg4WKtm2
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5facKdRU0i
Oh my. Had he told her 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GzT8I8MEQ
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv8RejjgqG
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevYwvrOoMz
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq0WRyD2WF
"What did you talk about?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewRTHUKRZu
"He was just pissed that1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3J5jU1NLO
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7voHX3U9OY
that might have upset me or something."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP3IzAh6Z2
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnRcrYbU3G
"But he didn't."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10nTB9BYD1
"I see why Sam asked," 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWGwrfai8l
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3GzqQsBMn
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9jgeHLSvn
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LHK66XvfR
And I hope it will never1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCwgEYBgnP
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkUsQlkYSE
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6jrJnNkqk
was yet to come at any moment.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjOTtXOtcC
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBU6VqhDay
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRqbGHY54J
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsOaEFSj8q
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjxC7Nhni0
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT1hyQu8Za
Christine, Zoey and I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38Koz5PXK0
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZplAEllkT
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GVZszcVbD
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzjwfBI0bl
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhYTK42L19
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlObkcw8b3N
"Yes, he is," said Lee 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09BV3lexUH
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkskJL9ZsA
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMNL8J2nTt
well."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4wF76xnIC
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRqwyl4D2y
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOD1MqMDuw
"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."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3d9yGQoFL
"Us?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq4TdAdMbb
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXuoPT87EV
Christine and I rushed 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ5VY1qyw4
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1zByFIOUl
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg1XfYpEY6
hand.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILxSIrN54d
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiO760cGV8
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj9rv1HZy4
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX07QS7uAP
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMeuXpOBIo
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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdpC2rfn3W
I took the letter and 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24VhNOXrxN
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ynfwcN0h3
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtStTbBbw8x
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WtukoeomU
"That's it?" Mike asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0reyuplOap
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89a3w7W1ly
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaIfdLKy8k
"All that the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89V4Hjfaat
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRUKSEqDSe
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNT3EWZaMx
My eyes went wide and my1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cAPWOe9Zm
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfjhQ2oqcO
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRoma7oEV7
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8yxy0j1lq
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xiiCkzXxN
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQw11LBfHl
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq54aG6Riy
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?1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMZR4ADGtl
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjpo26beNu
Christine threw Daniel 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUw82RzmFq
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9HdFl10q0
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVCWYoQmA8
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeElbKrdK8
person you barely even knew.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13ytZIXnVa
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMYxBJq2xt
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWNNqQbuh0
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtGQmCfbAK
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbC4ejKfvX
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CBSFaGeo4
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3jgWTNDoP
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHx3cbnPzh
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrDCcoQTbI
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRltyuTYfw
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcBI7aYh40
"Okay, but take your 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sBw7kn1Im
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpqyMjnZhl
last prayers before I leave this earth."1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq6nfZpwCk
I rolled my eyes but I 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANOhgnMYDR
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3gKRoyGHN
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9inslPWeL
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWwU1WbfXE
The other three couldn't1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQLFU7FYNK
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAH4oMuFTU
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PgQmdU4VM
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zNF9IL1Fn
nothing happened.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfIrxDE4F0
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNSnhYIxEM
"What is it?" Christine asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbGUOBEmYl
I looked up at the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOTtP2cBvJ
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TwhLutYGp
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCH8T0FaQ6
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3IysuC0tU
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd85bnEyyDZ
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UTolKavcj
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtT3b5xCrb
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEy8ahfD95
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH637PgiJ97
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMJMMzwYcw
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoSb9zjYtn
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90laxmcCYc
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9lpleexfN
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrxHbjAb1n
It was then that Zoey 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQzVRR0YGk
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPp8dwoqYz
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNMJgkq7w1
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW4fgOKa4i
stranger who she was with today that sent it.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkHbDhdAuO
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4zXo5dAGb
"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.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdAHSDCRgE
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosM7PPSO1k
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuQASiBlOL
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax3u81uqqj
This time, they laughed 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR8vCVqgNe
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PUSvJFVFu
had feared for our lives and it was for no good reason. I saw the 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiOhg70hbv
reason to laugh along as well. Who knows what the future might hold? You1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aPs7tV9iv
could die at any given day. We were just glad to be alive and laughing.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4AV8u2Xel
"Stop it, guys," said Zoey with a frown. "This isn't funny." Lee just shook her head in disbelief.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57qQzr7Fn5
"You brought this on yourself, not us," said Mike.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiAVQkOMv7
"What's with all the laughing?" Collins asked as he came into the lounge.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0VBxqhFcX
Zoey held up the bear 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEeuMGV3V1
for Collins to see. It was such a funny site given that Zoey looked like1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjUivZcVQZ
she was about to cry and she held the bear's little arm in between her 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc1RMRfjmz
fingers that it was dangling in midair. That sent us into another wave 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2iYxOo67n
of laughter. This time, Mike and Christine were on the floor and Daniel 1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6srmeFirx7
fell right beside me on the couch. I laughed so hard my stomach ached.1021Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZqyoyTcL5
And surprisingly, Collins laughed too.
