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.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAcR0wQwHh4J
I had never been this 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAN3iwdsWXE5
late in my entire life. Not even when I had my own personal 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAnOOAe1iVId
appointments. The others would be wondering why I was so late. And 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAgPRsyWOZ54
trying to explain the reason why, would have them blown away.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAtWSHRyRaIL
"Sam, are you still there?" Zoey called out to me from our room.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA4NJGhRoxUM
I didn't want to answer. I was quite irritated. But if I didn't, she would start to freak out.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA7ISvbnN6Ja
"Sam!"1057Please respect copyright.PENANASCMSKGqsdS
I rolled my eyes. "I'm still here, Zoey," I answered.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAfnFzWHD77E
Zoey came out of the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAOJW08JX5I0
room and came to the lounge where I was seated waiting for her. I was on1057Please respect copyright.PENANAQDuAF8HQsW
the couch and I looked at her, then back at my watch.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHZUz4rMJp6
"Did you find what you're looking for?" I asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAIOrxfJaoZh
"No, I haven't," said Zoey.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAnxs7YHqNuM
"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."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAnKA5MajdtA
"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.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAelgtgHHyeH
"Zoey, it's just a stud and you have plenty of those like it in your jewellery box."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAcmglUybSyt
"But those are my favourite studs," said Zoey. "You know they are diamond, right?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAd9QyJZqags
"I know because I bought you those studs for your birthday a year ago."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAtiQ0DlhqNx
"Oh. Ya, I know." Zoey had a look on her face that told me she forgot about that.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3uIGHKIHvO
I ignored her and said, 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAnrCfLSLy0J
"just get another pair of studs or don't put on any at all. For my sake.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAcYMNeNOlDG
And Collins' too. We were supposed to be at the studio at 10."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAd2KW1w69w7
"What time is it?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAmZM9FEZEPW
"10:35."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAKvSHQZVSYU
"Wow, time really passes by."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAwpfwKVmKIE
"When it comes to you, it does. Come on, let's go."1057Please respect copyright.PENANArPIsEHaY7Z
"Let me go get my phone."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUXSbNtYFVk
Zoey rushed back to the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAtc3FLSWtYv
room and I hoped she wasn't going to get back to looking for her missing1057Please respect copyright.PENANA4sp4ktERvm
stud. She sometimes did the opposite of what she had to do. But anyway,1057Please respect copyright.PENANAexLgSw77Dp
that was Zoey.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAeqzvw5IHUQ
I soon received a 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAlbYOCBUWsu
message from Collins threatening me to get to the studio as soon as 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAamsgnudvPl
possible. In no less than five minutes. I moaned. He knew we couldn't 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdtANfCTmx0
get there in five minutes. That's if we were superheros.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAiBhTSewWiK
"Zoey, come on, we better go!"1057Please respect copyright.PENANABLOahBgs0M
"I'm coming."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAMdYXwOdqNC
I started heading 1057Please respect copyright.PENANALRbUxiMvaU
towards the elevator and my phone beeped again. Another message. 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAfywkt00wH3
Hopefully it wasn't Collins again telling us he would hang us to death 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAPGqBBoiwNH
if we didn't make it in time. But I was surprised to see an unknown 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAoTNqBYC5Xn
number. A number coming from another country.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHW2w0qgPy5
"Oh, who is this?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAg1Lp3k8vj1
Before I could open the message icon, Zoey came rushing from behind and bumped into my back. That almost made me drop my phone.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAq4bmKeEsWv
"My goodness, Zoey!" I said as I looked at her. "You should look where you're going. I almost dropped my phone."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHG5QDFjLVs
"Sorry," said Zoey as she also looked at me.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAqhchVGvnxq
"Come on, we're already late."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5GFzfYlr2c
We went into the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5U93P1ZFQG
elevator and I put my phone away in my jeans jacket pocket. A black 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAqwUJ82FKnU
Chevrolet SUV was waiting for us outside. The others had already left 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA9KLDJgysYr
for the studio and I had stayed behind because of Zoey's missing stud.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0O1IeP15R
When we got to YG, 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAAGLf2rvTJg
Collins stood there by the entrance, obviously waiting for us. He looked1057Please respect copyright.PENANA68WINb2spb
like an angry father ready to scold at his kids for coming home late.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ9c9KgeK4
"Don't tell me all this is your doing, Zoey," said Collins as we approached him.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAEeHbnLQyBD
"No, no, it's not," said Zoey as she shook her head.1057Please respect copyright.PENANALkeMkyalbm
"Says the person who isn't wearing her studs today."1057Please respect copyright.PENANArfkntvxpQw
Zoey held her earlobes 1057Please respect copyright.PENANANrrI61dQUx
and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. I shrugged. I had to1057Please respect copyright.PENANACFShOrV2Mi
tell Collins why we delayed over the phone. At least he believed me, 1057Please respect copyright.PENANArHHGYYZ1W4
knowing that he already knew what was Zoey was like.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYfMvOSNUAU
"Come on, the others are waiting and they didn't want to start without you," said Collins.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA6eYM7EPB3q
"They had to wait," said Zoey, flipping her hair. "I'm singing the first verse alongside G-Dragon."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdh3AEBgvgf
"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.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAmTrBeBA6e7
"I'll try." I smiled. Zoey stuck out her tongue at Collins.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAAdmcmY7LcZ
We got to the studio and we found everyone else waiting for us, lazing around on the couch.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAsO33ajtMC4
"Hey, you're finally here," said Seungri.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAQcXNWZFVv9
"Sorry, we had an issue back at the hotel," said Zoey.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAg4VsVG8L4p
"Ya. A 'serious' one." I said as I rolled my eyes.1057Please respect copyright.PENANASzWjhtUgLx
"I can't wait to get started," said Daniel excitedly as he stood up from the couch.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHY950UsqVY
"Then let's do so," said1057Please respect copyright.PENANAnxsgrHya1g
Collins as he joined the music producer by the console. "Zoey, Taeyang,1057Please respect copyright.PENANAZoYf3K9qm8
Christine, Sam and G-Dragon, we will start with you guys."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA58Y8AEb3Wa
I had completely forgot 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAnAnXcqyTWI
that G-Dragon was even in the room. I hadn't noticed him at all when he 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAgqylkEHLZg
stood up from the couch and came towards Zoey and I.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYQ4nUIKeXG
"Hi, Zoey," G-Dragon greeted Zoey.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAbKnAjqPycV
"Hi," said Zoey with a wide smile on her face.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFyUoOZ7Udd
"Ahem," Christine came from behind as she cleared her throat. "Let's go. You two can talk later."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAsgbCU4ZH6Y
I rolled my eyes and together with Taeyang and Christine, we went into the live room together, followed by the two love birds.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAQKCjpur4uq
In the live room, there 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3lpYsQyIx1
stood five microphones and with each mic had a pair of headphones around1057Please respect copyright.PENANApbP6Sqpz4v
it. We each stood in front of a microphone and put on the headphones.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAGakBTgOq6L
Ahead of us was a window where we could see the others from the other side.1057Please respect copyright.PENANARPCk2qioEX
"Are you guys ready?" Collins asked as his voice was heard through the speaker in the live room.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAltLR0ar4s1
I looked at the others 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAiVDKR5PRsI
to see if they were settled and gave Collins a thumbs up and the music 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAWwdxTCgH0l
producer started to play the tune for the song.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHZdUvTQf37
G-Dragon started to sing1057Please respect copyright.PENANAlTzlaGTS4P
and then afterwards, Zoey followed. Their voices blended so well with 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA0nRWtgQJHB
the music, they made a perfect harmony. Looked like I did a good thing 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAfNMBlEBpn9
to let them sing the first verse together.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAZKjsmtKh79
Collins, the music 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA8sRCYDpKJ7
producer and the others outside the live room had smiles on their faces.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUtZGLXlqWJ
They were loving it alright. Collins gave them a thumbs up.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdk7wA85OEJ
Christine then sang the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAZFluViHxBx
bridge and as she came came closer to the chorus, I joined in. Then 1057Please respect copyright.PENANABJ9n3ojI1X
Taeyang and I sang the chorus together.1057Please respect copyright.PENANADV0tN1GuSK
When we were done, the music producer stopped playing the track.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ibbi7oW4Y
"That was awesome, guys," said Collins as his voice came out through the speaker. "The song is so incredible."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAr5y33HEiDt
"Ya, thank Sam," said Taeyang. "She is the one who came out with all of this."1057Please respect copyright.PENANArGZUihdv2D
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."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYXDDcmC8oE
"Okay, Sam and Taeyang, I1057Please respect copyright.PENANAvA0lBRkXx8
want you two to go through the chorus again, this time with a little 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAgzWQ3NF5l3
more high tempo and see how it sounds," said the music producer.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5wui4AgRTb
"Okay," Taeyang and I said at the same time.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAsftK8fNO2P
"Shall GD and I leave then?" Zoey asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANACWg9VlWaYe
"You may," said Collins,1057Please respect copyright.PENANAALAHvRVtWr
looking a little irritated on his face. "But don't leave the studio. 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAZwAjrOFah5
You have to work on the backup vocals."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAcgskqfJSwo
"Alright, we will be here," said Zoey, with a grin on her face.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAqE7WEUjxVO
If I hadn't known 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAjOkHTrwUA6
better, something told me Zoey and G-Dragon were up to something. They 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAC7oWiUAYLu
looked like little mischievous children as they smiled at each other and1057Please respect copyright.PENANApDU9zmYuWd
they walked out of the live room. I couldn't help but feel a little 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxeRQWUaMnB
hollow inside.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAuGh3p1XDoY
"So, we will start from Christine's part," said the music producer.1057Please respect copyright.PENANASb0e5kx6a4
We continued recording 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA0iMBMnyMQ3
the song and later on, TOP, Mike, Daesung, Seungri and Daniel also came 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAw3uexkYDj9
into the live room. It took us a while to record the whole song, trying 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUL7tSun2dK
to make our vocals blend in with the song but we were done.1057Please respect copyright.PENANADgFwgH36yx
"Great job guys," said Collins. "Let's break up for lunch and then we can come back and work on the backup vocals."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2IHD2Mho8Y
"Alright," said Mike as he took out his headphones. "I'm pretty hungry now."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAd4eti6Q5p6
"The song is amazing," said Christine. "And it's catchy that you can sing it the whole day."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAcxTxx4BEeQ
"Ya," said TOP. "Why don't we all go somewhere special for lunch?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAmFlxwGdl77
"Like where?" I asked as I put the headphones on the mic.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAw4f8395Ngr
"Some restaurant I think we will like," said TOP as he looked at me with a killer smile.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ1xYPPnKd
"That sounds great." I turned to the window to look at Collins who obviously heard everything. "Can we go, Collins?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAiuYWGdm22c
"Ya, you can go," said Collins waving his hand irritatingly in the air.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAwxnB3L2f5u
"Yes!" Daniel punched the air with his fist.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAab0jCqA93t
"But be back within an hour."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5RQjbkEEWm
I raised an eyebrow at Collins who then rolled his eyes at me and groaned.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ9rNFnoT4
"Fine, an hour and a half."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAbEDKNmmDna
I did a little victory dance in my heart and I smiled in triumph. Collins and the music producer soon left the studio room.1057Please respect copyright.PENANASnopvnxqP5
"How did you do that?" Daesung asked as we all walked out of the live room.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAfVQguBaFoX
"Do what?" I asked with a smile on my face as Daesung was right behind me.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAgxroj3Y5dd
"How did you convince Collins to give us an hour and thirty minutes?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAjQMi7QmUyg
"That, my friend," said 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAulXbdgaLuE
Mike behind me, "is the way my sister does her thing. Just by a look in 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAkY9Jbp0ben
her eyes and you will have to do whatever she wants."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAm3JBjHvClp
"That's not true," I said as I turned around to look at Mike who had his hand on Daesung's shoulder.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAqslNepSzOL
"Really? I beg to differ," said TOP as he winked at me.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAOUsVevRQKT
"No one does what I want them to do just by looking at them in the eye," I said, looking away from TOP, blushing.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAXMptRzUNGv
"Well, it does work, most of the time," said Christine nodding her head.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAhVjYN90mig
"Oh, ya? Like when?" I folded my arms.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAGCwIgpFABq
"Whenever you want us to1057Please respect copyright.PENANACmGm02hA3w
tell you the truth about something and we refuse, you always give us 1057Please respect copyright.PENANARFghOXx1hk
this eye that makes us give in," said Daniel.1057Please respect copyright.PENANArZrTo6z8Hn
"For real?" I raised an eyebrow.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3fL3fSjHPs
"Ya, your eyes burn and we just can't take it," said Christine.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdfM0rs0909
"Huh," I thought of all 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYhicDS6Ga8
the times when either of my brothers or the girls ever did whatever I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUnU4q9F6IE
wanted them to do just by me giving them the eye.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAD4EIEr9AwR
"But that doesn't explain with Collins though," said Taeyang.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAgFjdk7oaBa
"Thank you, Tae," I said feeling relieved.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5YZjaaMNJz
"Come on, Sam," said 1057Please respect copyright.PENANALlAhFZANMl
Daniel. "You might not know it, but Collins listens to you because you 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAE5lCo9JiOg
also give him the eye. And also probably because you're his favourite."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAwFbmO1BJ6F
"That makes no sense." I shook my head.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3bFtpRCIF6
"I believe him," said Seungri. "Looks like you have a way of getting to Collins to make him agree with you."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZDFO0imUk
"But he doesn't agree to me all the time," I slowly shook my head.1057Please respect copyright.PENANABgVNqbVuRs
"On some ocassions like this one, he does," said Christine with a smile.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3SiCVKJvgO
"Can we please just go for lunch?" I asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAl1iw6hmiIQ
Seungri came over to open the door for me, but just as I was about to step out of the room, I stopped.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAwrtaLq0w8J
"Guys?" I turned around to look at the others. "Where are Zoey and GD?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANARzPHeTlWhc
We all turned towards the couch and noticed that there was no one there. I went back in the room and looked around.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAhnuAk8PwrE
"They aren't here," I said.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAATUgYXUeZ9
"These guys don't stop surprising us with their disappearing acts," said Daesung.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAa6wCQ66Lna
"I'm surprised Collins didn't notice," said Seungri.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAujgThmJIFD
"Hopefully, they will be back before we start on the backup vocals," I said.1057Please respect copyright.PENANANBTryra5xv
"Then let's go then," said TOP. "Wherever those two are, they are fine."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAECbPAgRzyK
I nodded my head and we 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUYChG9kIZ9
all left the room. As we headed down to the ground floor, I reminded 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAq1w4VcoWs2
myself to leave a text message for Zoey.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAujtkryjAbt
We were in the lobby and1057Please respect copyright.PENANAkIu9bMbIUS
I stopped to remove my phone. I went over to messages and realised that1057Please respect copyright.PENANAIjDbjcOBi4
I had one unread message. It was the message I had received this 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAPZiqiyqoqm
morning.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAoNaGY6VKZW
I first sent Zoey a text1057Please respect copyright.PENANALpqf6C7aIk
message then I decided to read the unknown message from this unknown 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAf2vdhw4cjv
person. Then TOP appeared right in front of me.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAWs6X8pfztU
"Hey, what are you looking at?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAA2Amikgi9v
I was startled by his sudden appearance that my thumb pressed the exit button and I had gone out of my messages.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5G3yTSMxnn
"I was just sending Zoey a message," I said.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA95J3sbNNx1
"Okay, shall we go?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAoFvUnPiv9v
"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.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUl6v4sibVz
"Oh, you guys look like you're going out," said Christine with a smile.1057Please respect copyright.PENANACsqKFcufyq
"We're all going out for lunch aren't we?" I asked with a smirk.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAeVfjwOfQ53
"Ya, we are," said Daesung, looking the other way and scratching the back of his head.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAbMum4pPPVu
"We better go or else our one and half hours will elapse in no time," said Daniel.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAjW9eI7H4Oe
Instead of using any one1057Please respect copyright.PENANAWNenHNDMVl
of the BigBang members personal cars, we used the two black SUVs. We 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA7OrxM6HiUL
were driven to a fancy restaurant and as usual, we grabbed a lot of 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAtkG4JHl1yP
attention, especially from the customers.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYc6E5eLGTR
I had to admit, the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHxxVKlCFGJ
restaurant was nice and classy, suitable for the famous and the rich. As1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFP370657Af
I walked into the restaurant with the others, a fancy glass chandelier 1057Please respect copyright.PENANACcmMWa6VJQ
caught my eye. The polished wooden floor shone almost like glass under 1057Please respect copyright.PENANANBFLI7oW5s
the lights the chandelier reflected all over the room.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAGD7tlgfeBk
A smartly dressed 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxGg7I7wTBB
waiter, who by the way, was super cute, came over. He gave us a friendly1057Please respect copyright.PENANACHqc53A2Kg
smile and I felt Christine nudge me by the shoulder and when I turned 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAtxjd6l4CWj
to her, she was smiling. Looked like she also noticed the waiter's good 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAK7EUmiqh8q
looks too. Damn! Why were Korean men so good looking?1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYyM0JkwtYh
We were escorted to a 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFbEtNXH2gG
round table big enough to cater a whole lot of people. Even ten. But 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAiBCYa8tTsR
sadly, Zoey and G-Dragon weren't here.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3gdNBRzYjB
TOP pulled a chair for 1057Please respect copyright.PENANASUBN014wSM
me and I sat down, thanking him as he took his seat beside me. Seungri 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAalsrKXuIsO
pulled a chair for Christine who sat on my other side and Seungri sat 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAjcRARKxMsh
beside her.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAsfKgjyHdb1
"This place is so lovely," I said as I looked around.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFBE3kwzXYl
"Tell me about it," said Christine.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAqg2mpyr9sd
"I knew you would like it," said TOP.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUiJQikkqLd
"Ya, it's exquisite, but I'm only here for the food," said Mike who sat opposite me.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAwaIOxMYs8k
"So, let's order," said Daesung.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3uuaEyUZfW
I took the fancy looking menu with the colour of velvet and the letters written in gold. Classy.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA1fe8Rr971I
After our delicious meals had been served, we ate. I enjoyed it as I savoured every little food in my mouth.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAqWx7WTDE4c
As we were having our 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1W8lO9nX2
dessert, we were chatting and there was a lot of laughter all around our1057Please respect copyright.PENANAWAEZNfyvNF
table. It was fun to be like this, all together as good friends and 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5PYANJpxBG
laughing about. I kind of wished Zoey and GD were here. I bet they were 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3bVtQH543p
having fun wherever they were.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA0DYiqQH9qt
While I was having my 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA08XYlWT3MK
strawberry cake, I felt the vibration of my phone in my pocket. Must be a1057Please respect copyright.PENANAcSTnE9bf8d
message. I took out my phone and I was shocked to see that the same 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAc4jrX7nhyX
unknown number had sent me a message again.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFZCluvRaDZ
I tapped on the message 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0bmnjoNoV
icon and the first message the unknown number had sent to me was a 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAq0zAKsbI5O
photo. I had to download it first before I could even see it. And then 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5lf0ccPvtm
the next message was more surprising.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAMpTSavAhGF
"Aren't you going to do anything about this?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAGsleltqWO5
Anything about what was 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAhfIVVgLsx2
the question. Had this had to do with the photo? Must be or else the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAMkvyeSGd4f
unknown person wouldn't have texted me this message.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAlYGyWYovf7
I decided to turn my data on and download the photo. Just as I was about to, my phone went off.1057Please respect copyright.PENANADVKTwFCzIJ
"Dang it!" I muttered to myself.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA4sUXyeQZ4H
"Hey, what's wrong?" TOP asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAuPDEwGCD88
"Nothing, my phone went dead. I hadn't charged it last night."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAvEXl7YEXqK
"Was there something important you wanted to do?" Taeyang asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAcAd664ETzk
"Not really, it's not important." I shook my head but my thoughts still lingered on the unknown photo.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA32TyOGi8rR
"Did Zoey text you back?" Christine asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHpsFhxv9FD
"No, why?" I asked as I picked up a piece of strawberry cake with my fork.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdFoJcWArgy
"Well, your phone vibrated so I thought you had received a message from her."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA1MZQ3oxl3X
"It was nothing. Wherever Zoey is, she is having a lot of fun."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA1NNOsyWVKC
"Hey, what's up with GD and Zoey anyway?" Taeyang asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAoUm0QORP8b
"Isn't it freaking obvious?" said Daesung. "Those two seem like a couple now."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA75xiuDSR7w
I almost choked on my cake but instead, I cleared my throat. Christine rolled her eyes.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAtV4MyBI9I7
"Well, that wasn't going to go on unnoticed forever," she said.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA05OwvRuPKz
"Wait, for real?" Taeyang asked, with a look of surprise.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAN2ydGbonOx
"And you already knew, didn't you?" Mike asked looking at Christine.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAMFFn0VNixm
"Oh, please," said Christine rolling her eyes. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed how close those two are nowadays."1057Please respect copyright.PENANABEfxwAzg4U
"They have always been close," said Seungri. "But this time, they are just way too close."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAMsoWjisQZR
"For them to disappear like that together, it counts for something, right?" TOP suggested.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAICCATMjFFu
"Can we please stop 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA1I15cd3qF4
talking about it?" I asked. "There are people around and if they hear 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q9x0PiJS3
all this, some of us would be hanged when this spreads like wild fire."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAvBNhixaQJe
"Why do you say that?" Daesung asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA9CAIYOw3Sa
"Oh, oooh, oh," said Daniel waving his hand from across the table. "May I say it?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAb9DUmFFsiE
"No, let me," said 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAm9IEVW2aEg
Christine, as she put her hand on mine and looking at me convincingly to1057Please respect copyright.PENANAtt0kZraQ4g
allow her to say what she wanted to say.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAGBSBPMKNVS
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.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxt3DzYLBfP
"Because, Collins gave 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAlAsWXwDVXg
these girls a golden rule when we were coming here," said Daniel. "And 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAKWFncQR4oT
that is, none of them should date any one of you BigBang members. 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAre9hOmX8KC
Never."1057Please respect copyright.PENANANyMQZjIj41
There was silence on the1057Please respect copyright.PENANABuQJ57hOEv
table and I couldn't help but feel a little downcast. Christine 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAOfLg6TsQsK
continued to eat her dessert like nothing serious had been said. I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANApp3FiN5DBQ
looked over at my brothers who seem to be enjoying our humiliation.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAulYVOrf1bI
"Is that true?" Seungri asked, looking over at me.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA7QjiNXFaHV
"Ya, it's true," I said as I slowly chewed the cake in my mouth.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAKS7w9CjbqY
"Oh." Daesung looked a little disappointed as he stared down at his plate.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAT2eFHo4JUa
"Who cares? It's not like it's that serious," said TOP as he shrugged.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAtH5olCjtDq
"It's serious to 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAk3SWZrwdXv
Collins," I said as I turned to look at TOP. "We're only here to 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAA8SXlHauEW
collaborate with you and that's all. Not date, get married and have 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAeMe1Zq0dkb
babies."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAH69z9S54fk
That was odd coming out 1057Please respect copyright.PENANABQY0x4vMjR
of my own mouth and the others knew it too. Everyone's eyes were on me, 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2sov0BBoTO
with looks on their faces that I couldn't describe. This was 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA8YeIMcuO9f
embarrassing. My hands were now curled into fists as they rested on my 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAOm52qWVHIF
laps.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAgZCnCiVgE3
"Sorry, that came out wrong," I said.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAPB49UfBqc9
"Well, you did catch us by surprise by saying that," said Taeyang.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA335QAMVGRk
I really did. Something 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAi24cvqCYwg
had gone totally wrong with me and I could feel it. My thoughts were 1057Please respect copyright.PENANABcmQybnW2k
spinning in my head and I felt like I had no control over how I felt.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAKaoHS6Alpa
"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.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAemt0XYD606
I quickly closed the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA7wiVvkyrCk
door immediately I stepped in the ladies' room, leaning my back against 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAl6byoPm0M5
the door. My hands flew to my hair and I took a deep breath. I walked 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAcW5MmvCCP4
over to the sink and stared at myself in the mirror.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA6gsBtqIVkf
"What's wrong with you today?" I asked my reflection.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5PpbOez9SN
I shook my head and I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAiKtDErLKCF
knew I wasn't alright. Something was definitely wrong. Was it the fact 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUDjLVh3H4U
that Zoey and G-Dragon were together? As far as I know, I wasn't really 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAONmDtgrbGZ
supposed to care. But I did.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAOw48bD54eA
I looked at myself and I1057Please respect copyright.PENANACjD84KATC9
could see the sadness in my eyes. Were they for G-Dragon? I shook my 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA1eMw6nha9p
head at the thought. No. They weren't. He and I were still at war with 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA8ULRuawM9t
each other and that made no sense. I had to stop thinking about these 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAprSJ08iVbO
things and focus on what's really important.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxEdLQ3a2Vd
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.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA28ZTV674GX
"Are you okay, Sam?" Mike asked as I sat back down.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAqbWgeXGsn4
"Ya, I am. I just feel horrible that I said that."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA6yHZY13vCJ
"We think we know why you did," said Christine.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAaVzhYIVLVq
I gulped. What had these1057Please respect copyright.PENANAwMtnZ5HFld
guys thought of now? If it was what I thought it was, I would rather 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA6cEwASRxeX
not hear it. There was a moment of silence at the table.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA57oloF9DG6
"Zoey has you so worked up that you're irritated," said TOP.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAsYwQIEowzM
That was not what I was expecting. I was wide eyed and in my heart, feeling a little relieved.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAyYfbUOu0PS
"Ya, I remember when we were coming here in the plane and Collins told you to watch over Christine and Zoey," said Mike.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAVO3CaXtOMc
"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.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAi2yywDXXpN
While Christine was one 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAeSpLbaFrSl
who at least had her hormones in check, Zoey and I were pretty much 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3AEOnycN3W
guilty. I couldn't tell who was worse between either of us. I bet I was 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAOXdu0o4vH6
worse.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAw1bASu9bVj
"Well, I guess I'm also guilty myself like Zoey," I said, admitting to everyone.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAeeX852g4lz
"If you mean TOP flirting around with you, then trust me, you're not," said Daniel.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYCNBuSc530
"Hey!" TOP looked a little annoyed but rather amused. He ended up laughing.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAqjy32v0wGn
"And me calling you my panda," said Seungri, with a smirk.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAjbbiIuRFOs
"You see, Sam, people just like you," said Mike. "And these guys shouldn't dare make a move of kissing you."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA55xCc1t0N0
I blushed. "Mike!"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAta9NtAfJZ6
"Don't worry, he is just being protective over his sister," said Daesung, laughing.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAR0RtaXcRM9
"I've tried kissing 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAMLKpnrKniS
her," TOP challenged as he looked over at my brothers. He raised an 1057Please respect copyright.PENANADLN2iX6XyH
eyebrow. "What are you going to do about that?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAeIWf0lfI9L
"Uhh, if I were you, I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA6VbkJ66qPH
wouldn't challenge them, TOP," I said as put my hand on his shoulder, 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA9ciozSzFWm
looking over at my brothers who looked set on tearing TOP apart. And I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAOpwuuZspZK
caught a glimpse of Daesung rolling his eyes at TOP. "You would end up 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFmEW1N9f9p
regretting it."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAjt9Rfq2yQr
"True," said Christine, nodding her head at TOP. "These boys are like monsters you can't beat. Only Sam can handle them."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAh0u5Tx3goI
I looked over at Christine with a look that said 'that's not true.' Christine shrugged.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAgpamKYDVLT
"Fine, I'll listen to 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAzpfOmt1JQY
you ladies," said TOP as he looked at Christine and I. "Most especially 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxelNGfistB
because Sam says so." He gave me that killer bad boy smile of his and I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAffJy20ZD2U
blushed.1057Please respect copyright.PENANArBk3g6IoHJ
"Well, we better go," said Taeyang.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAwdJiWDvWNu
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.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2JfhmZfYiI
After TOP paid the bill, we left the restaurant with the paparazzi taking pictures as we walked out.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA1Fv83qyUNq
We got to YG just in 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAPZmpOJtmKa
time. I just hoped that Zoey and G-Dragon were back here. I didn't want 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAQByVrruVwf
Collins on my throat and giving him the eye, wasn't going to help.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYvqSCe0KVk
When we got to the studio, we found G-Dragon.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAvafCgw6DFR
"Hey, where did you two disappear to?" Christine asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAP5MC1MNvoR
"We just went out," said G-Dragon as he looked around the room.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAtzWRLA6sAG
I couldn't help but feel1057Please respect copyright.PENANAjXKIO0hxab
that something was wrong, just by the look on his face. "What's wrong?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdM4YxjIx3o
I asked him with my eyebrow raised.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAJ371wwezjd
"Huh?" He appeared to be absent minded. Was he looking for something?1057Please respect copyright.PENANAnkmkrwtLUO
"I was asking what's wrong with you? And where is Zoey?" I asked as I also looked around.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAJYoI2R5hHg
"That's the thing," said G-Dragon. "I can't find her."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAWGFs3mw3fK
I felt something inside 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAvaLrLwSvHy
me break and my eyes bulged out of their sockets ready to fall out. I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAIt9wlEwbVk
couldn't believe what I was hearing.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAt45pymNY3n
"Are you for real?" Taeyang asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA0FvDHX7Qoc
"I'm serious," said G-Dragon.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA46OhUQKobg
"Wait, do you mean you 'lost' her?" Mike asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAm1cKaA6tBD
"I didn't lose her, I just can't find her."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAjuxtsV17so
"That sounds more like losing her to me," said Daniel.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAzDEcBM9O86
"You guys aren't helping!" G-Dragon exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in frustration.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAC22cSKgczK
"Where were you guys first of all?" Seungri asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUWMrS6tTSq
"We first went to have lunch then the two of us went to the park."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAl3XhdcyJvU
"Then?" TOP asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAr20i7rDMtI
"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."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA4E4oqD2KQz
"Are you sure?" Daesung asked. "Did you look everywhere for her?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAtP3zZEV66q
"I did. I even asked people around and they hadn't seen her. I thought she would be back here."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAvXO8DKUDCO
"That would be unusual, given that Zoey doesn't really know the city so well," said Taeyang.1057Please respect copyright.PENANACeQOcLiWtS
"But where could she be?" Christine asked looking as worried as I was.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAJSWj8pO22Y
"Try calling her," said Seungri, turning to Christine.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAx72oLS8cdB
"I just hope she is okay," I said as I rubbed my neck.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxHGJxRByl9
"What are we going to do with Collins?" Mike asked looking at me.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAykA5RyYzSc
"I don't know," I said. "Hey, do me a favour and try to call the hotel and see if Zoey is there."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAccmnUSDP1s
"Sure thing," said Mike as he pulled out his phone.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA39ZwoAAsIT
"Her phone is off," said Christine her phone in her hand.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAPEa2gNI3oa
"Oh, no, this isn't good," said TOP.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdx4Sf1ar9R
"Again, Zoey is putting us into more problems."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5WVt6LjNmJ
I couldn't help but 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAlCSCqTzC5e
wonder why she went off like that. Something wasn't right. Was G-Dragon 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAgP233NsNSi
not telling us what was really going on?1057Please respect copyright.PENANAR9s9bnVWxm
"No one has seen Zoey go into the hotel," Mike announced.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA0ERTL63jLd
"We're goners," said Seungri as he dropped himself on the couch.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUum58qGeab
"We've to look for her," said TOP.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdCrj4vgiMS
"But where can we start looking?" Daniel asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAgg2pE4klQ1
"I don't know, but we have to go and find her," I said.1057Please respect copyright.PENANApX5zXNls8x
"And we have to do something with Collins," said Taeyang.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAkyxC2I2xHc
"Did someone say my name?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANA0MVjnfEu1Q
I cringed. He was one 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdmpKlXTIHU
person I wasn't ready to face right now. Everyone else wasn't ready to 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA8sDKqH9L7p
either. We slowly turned to look behind us and Collins stood there with 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAF9bdHmi2eN
the music producer.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAgATYSHKKld
"Why are you all looking worried like someone has gone missing?" Collins asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANArbjNO1SLaG
I sighed. If only he knew. But if he does find out, he wasn't going to forgive us that easily.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAflF6gv4Lf1
Collins looked on at us, waiting to answer him. What to do now! We were going to be in such big trouble.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFdFmPnKNaA
"Looks like you aren't 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA81cXPnCIbC
going to answer me, so let's get back to work," said Collins turning 1057Please respect copyright.PENANApvPZRrnUZ3
away from us and heading towards the console.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA6Lguwz8pdK
"We will work on the backup vocals," said Collins. "Zoey, Sam and Christine, you're up."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAStTLsIag4Y
I looked at the others 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYoaaCPGpn3
who hadn't said a word. We all looked at each other. Someone had to do 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA330rsUyD78
something or else we would be toast.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUTf8uVDW7O
"Are we going to start?" Collins asked looking behind him as he turned on his chair. "Where is Zoey?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAPbAU1wvy7x
It was about time he noticed. It looks like we ourselves weren't ready to tell him that Zoey is missing.1057Please respect copyright.PENANArnO3YPhOSd
"What's wrong with you, guys? Why aren't you saying anything?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAU1JAaL5muC
"Zoey isn't here," said Mike.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFRpt6IvRIJ
"Ya, I can see that. Where is she?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAZfg7gH68Wx
"She wasn't feeling too well," I said. "So she went back to the hotel."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYyB2gMpT1g
"What? Did she eat something bad for lunch?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAn8NEcvfRZi
"Ya. She did," said G-Dragon.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAeKnsRzJv0X
"So, do you think we should continue or do this tomorrow when Zoey is around?" I asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAeNmc0NxhfG
"We should just do this tomorrow," the music producer suggested, turning to Collins.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAA0xMKxOXFh
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.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAsFAvW8re1t
"Fine," said Collins. "We really need Zoey, so we should just do it tomorrow."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAPSWE7EjmaS
Mike and Daniel almost 1057Please respect copyright.PENANArvBrMD12dR
jumped with relief but they managed to control themselves. Christine 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAeFp2beeDsC
turned around so that Collins and the music producer wouldn't notice her1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdsyyZBfNF2
sighing in relief. The rest of us just stood there, pocker faced.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYPnKZmHLGD
"That's fine," said Taeyang.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAAC9mVi10FI
"I really wanted us to be done with this today," said Collins.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHKHsRQfMzY
"Looks like it wasn't meant to be," said TOP.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAAnyYFhriv0
Ya. It wasn't meant to be. Looks like we were lucky. That meant we could look around for Zoey.1057Please respect copyright.PENANADXn9OvwVzI
"You guys can go back to the hotel and make sure Zoey is okay," said Collins.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAAJGhQ2URFv
"I'll go," said Christine. "The others can stay here if they want to."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAndGB678fvT
Christine was doing the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAVGIxdClbcH
right thing. If she went to the hotel, Collins wouldn't be so suspicious1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYTExaYiG3C
of what's going on and just in case he decides to go back there at 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAcARikJVci6
anytime, Christine might cover up for Zoey.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAw3P8tMe95p
"Okay and what will the rest of you all be doing?" Collins asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2FdZ2lUalA
"Chilling," G-Dragon and I replied at the same time. We both looked at each other afterwards.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAoa4b8DCy1d
"Fine, I have some other things to attend to. I might just go and check up on Lee and Yang Hyun-suk."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAuUK3wqoVAW
I wanted to ask where, 1057Please respect copyright.PENANARv3dydtkUA
but I knew it was none of my business. I realised that I hadn't seen Lee1057Please respect copyright.PENANAasSVkfhs4s
the whole day. Must be she was busy with Yang Hyun-suk. Collins and the1057Please respect copyright.PENANADm0ZyJt79u
music producer soon left.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA9YjFrQBkbl
I walked over to the door and checked if Collins and the music producer were in the hall. But they were gone.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAVTmaMc5Lfa
"Looks like we have to split up and look for Zoey," said Taeyang.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAOYdX0wyL0i
"Ya, we should," I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3ou3fkiar9
nodded my head. "G-Dragon and I will take Christine to the hotel just in1057Please respect copyright.PENANAbug9ZNFXuN
case Zoey shows up and if Collins decides to go there."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5IlXz4XpVB
"I'll go with Taeyang," said Daniel.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAbyNf8RY9cD
"And I go with Seungri," said Mike.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAKgsUMxkSGG
"That leaves Daesung and I," said TOP.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAynZd2MpqeZ
"Great, let's go," I said and we all walked out of the room.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAMR5McXFE1b
As soon as we left the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHJc6P4o7C4
YG building, we split up in the parking lot. Luckily, Collins had 1057Please respect copyright.PENANABUG5GM11TU
already left. Christine and I went with G-Dragon in his car. It was 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAqv0kKSsmSW
important that I had to talk to G-Dragon concerning Zoey.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYXJxBuafW9
We soon arrived at the hotel and Christine got out of the car. I gave her my phone for it to be charged.1057Please respect copyright.PENANANwnZLIPVah
"Call us if anything good happens," I said I looked at Christine through the window.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFzK6ty8UNR
"And what if something bad happens?" Christine asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAh3y8xjXUXU
"Like Collins? You can handle it," I said as I gave her a smile. Christine winked and wished us luck.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA8VGlHp9m18
G-Dragon drove away and 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYKGprgD2iM
we first went to the park where he came with Zoey after lunch. I just 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA9xwQbDWgvr
hope she didn't go that far and that she was okay.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAlYXdyHf9KT
"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.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAEi4IdizrHy
"What?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYdeAMFmcgH
"Did you two argue?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAWmh6XJ8acN
"No, we didn't," said G-Dragon as he went around me and started walking towards the park.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAADk51cjpW7
I quickly turned and followed him. When I caught up with him, I stood in front of him to stop him.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA0e8rabgxRz
"Are you telling me the truth?" I asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAsWmwHUx7sH
"Do you think I am lying?" G-Dragon asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAwIQ26b0P7v
"I think so." I said with my arms folded.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ6do7NRlO
"You're crazy," said G-Dragon as he walked around me again.1057Please respect copyright.PENANACauOYbxbDX
I huffed. He wasn't going to budge. I had to try something to get the truth out of him.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAJq0ve4gCHT
With quick strides, I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANADNik5v0G4K
caught up with him again. This time I started to walk backwards so that I1057Please respect copyright.PENANAbs6sVM4cqX
could look at him directly in his face.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAwhMegfXdWk
"What are you doing?" G-Dragon asked as he looked at me, puzzled.1057Please respect copyright.PENANArgFD163Sm7
"I want you to tell me the truth."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAEvY09HpVyG
"You're stressing yourself out by walking backwards."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA9rxhmnRRKA
"Do I care?" I raised an eyebrow at him. "I know you're hiding something from me."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAuA63O9FzP3
G-Dragon chuckled and 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAfadOFFagdo
that almost made me smile. "Stop playing detective, my little kitty. As 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHIE4sexN2I
much as it suits you, you're going to trip over and fall."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAahW1vQnx1x
"Then you have to stop me from walking backwards by answering my question."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5rjmkIIffT
"This is one silly method of interrogation if you ask me."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUFcmJR4DnS
"I can tell you're not telling me something. Zoey can't just leave like that without someone upsetting her."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA7dTPJbd2cs
"And how do you know?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANA6Lb6xvVL4W
"I'm her best friend. 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA50pQLKrtnk
And plus, whenever someone gets her really upset, she runs off without 1057Please respect copyright.PENANACoA5X0DNL3
telling anyone. She always wants be alone to think."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAhjL5hQLuai
"I hope she doesn't think of committing suicide."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAi8mHMtCEkP
"Zoey can't end her 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAkdUiJZ4LyR
life. Well, she hasn't tried to anyway. She's leaving the dream right 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2fQBB7akGF
now and ending her life this early, isn't going to sound right. Unless 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAESTt8T6Cn5
you did something."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAKtmIxYn7FK
"Me?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAF7HukU4dgi
"Da! Yes, you!"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAU0YalLmxD3
"What could I possibly have done for Zoey to try and commit suicide?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAe1fvwucuMH
"Don't talk about suicide like that." I hit him on the arm.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAmKG9Hy62zt
"Ouch!" G-Dragon stopped and held his arm. "That hurts!"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAc2ozU6zaTU
"Well, you deserve it. Now tell me the truth." I put my hands on my hips.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAWld7NNYuiM
"I'm telling you, Zoey and I didn't argue."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAkX46y6Ru2E
G-Dragon looked me in the eye and he seemed really convincing.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxcjipaCHkz
"Okay. I believe you," I said. "But you must have said something that upset her."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAzXISFLRK4b
"I can't really remember what I had said to her. Maybe she just left on her own."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFJTbJJsHoy
"And with her phone off, that's a bit strange, don't you think?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAQeINavHclC
"When we find her we will ask why she ran off."1057Please respect copyright.PENANApIjcULPWZc
"Ya. Sure."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdW1KFh8eDr
"Now, will you please 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAT8FRWySw6T
stop walking backwards? I don't want you to trip and save you from 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAovZQR4LK0A
falling. That will spark rumours again like it did during the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAgpdzYeY7HV
interview."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAmbQAHTjRJ5
I didn't say anything, 1057Please respect copyright.PENANApEoQCrpd1X
so I just nodded my head and faced forward. We went further into the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAlGyISeKv3m
park and as we looked around for Zoey, we sparked some attention from 1057Please respect copyright.PENANASZwYlBKUlv
our darling fans. We signed a few autographs and took a few pictures and1057Please respect copyright.PENANAv4J8w1c4Zb
went on with our search. We even asked some fans if they had seen Zoey,1057Please respect copyright.PENANAvxCmpg9RQW
but nothing.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAg9rw8U3z96
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.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAu8BHm2N3H0
"Are you tired already?" G-Dragon asked as he looked down on me.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAkrckCBND3D
"I'm not," I said as I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAg6UFzcA99B
removed my slippers and felt comfortable with my bare feet on the grass.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA0uUqsdDW72
"I'm trying to figure out where Zoey could be."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAIc04XMgcix
G-Dragon sat down beside1057Please respect copyright.PENANAbRuGiSQFeh
me and the two of us were silent, looking at the pond. Laughter filled 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAfDCqKL5BGk
my ears as I saw a group of kids playing from across the pond. Some 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAK0ArZQd3A3
couples also sat on the grass close to the pond. It was such a beautiful1057Please respect copyright.PENANA9EnP3jLvCB
day and sitting by the pond felt so relieving.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA56ZW44R93M
"Have you figured something yet?" G-Dragon asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAZbGgy03QBo
I frowned and looked at him. "No, why do you ask?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANABY2QSDQIwq
"You seem to be smiling to yourself," said G-Dragon as he looked at me.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAzkaFVoA6ZT
"No, I'm actually enjoying what I'm experiencing right now."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAhVfFXLLaju
"You love nature, don't you?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAunpA7CvMpp
I closed my eyes, still smiling. "Ya. I really do."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0cqjSZG8l
At that moment, I was so1057Please respect copyright.PENANApoN2YoCj86
caught in the little world inside my head. For a moment, I forgot about1057Please respect copyright.PENANAaqWZEZ3LPk
everything. About looking for Zoey, being famous, and the whole world 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAXWpsNaqtqC
with everyone and everything in it. It's like they never existed because1057Please respect copyright.PENANAtKDZSEoRe9
even the noise around me seemed non existent.1057Please respect copyright.PENANACxjIH6Hh70
Then I felt something 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAtlD3lQBrze
brush against my hand like a soft feather. The touch brought me back to 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA88zfZXn3cY
reality and I quickly opened my eyes. I looked beside me and G-Dragon 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA7iwcrQJPaK
was staring at me.1057Please respect copyright.PENANANlUhnAAOPW
"What?" I asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAniAlUwHpFr
"Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAhfmP16HNaH
I blushed all of the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAeLrHBt5thQ
sudden and I looked down. His hand covered mine and for a moment I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAEFtkMCuVxO
wanted to pull away. But then again, I couldn't explain how I felt with 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAoWoPQwVTqI
his hand on mine. I felt this weird comfort.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAyxj2H4GvwH
I would have said yes to1057Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q0OueX3Sk
his question, but no words came out. This wasn't right. As much as I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAs93hv0KNVM
wanted him close to me, I knew I would end up getting hurt because we 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAsgq7nDPfw9
were never meant to be.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAn17HVqVMMn
"Umm," I pulled my hand away and put it closer to my body. "Please don't say that GD."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAOOdvKv8fFO
"Why?" He asked softly.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAnsIhDxoFtP
"Because this isn't right at all and you know it."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAmCreKz5Olg
"What do you mean?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANA8n4ZY4ho8M
"You know that I ready know about Zoey and you. You guys are more like a couple."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAtMWPekrJi9
"So?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANATWbEXZ6IyV
"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."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAqe70xhtvfO
"Looks like you figured out that I don't really like Zoey as such as I like you."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAe3x3dx5DQr
I didn't say anything as I continued to figure out what to say next.1057Please respect copyright.PENANABi79XR6N2n
"Then why are you leading Zoey on? She doesn't deserve this, you know?" I asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAZGi3AmilmN
"I know."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3ykLduMBWr
"Then why are you doing this?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAIRW9UjtXbV
G-Dragon looked at me like he never had before. He soon looked away and sighed.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFI4aphSI1y
"I'm doing this because of you, Sam. But even if I do so, I still can't get you out of my head."1057Please respect copyright.PENANANDghTl1oe1
I also looked the other way, trying to act like those words hadn't affected me. But they did and they did so badly.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAlef11eGKWe
"You should find another1057Please respect copyright.PENANAasFf509x2p
way to do so, GD." I turned to look back at him and he faced me. "But 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA9rmNpr4T1X
not with Zoey. I don't want her getting hurt because of the both of us. I1057Please respect copyright.PENANAJyZMg17crH
will never forgive myself."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHlLtJfJQZL
G-Dragon nodded his head. "I'll do so."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA4e0dxCUI1A
I wanted to smile but I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAtNGfGYH8VI
couldn't bring myself to do it. I hoped he kept his word and maybe with 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAkHZ9Z8C1hN
this little talk we've had, we would be friends again and stop acting 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAKBZmirmHZM
like we had beef with each other.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFGg0UNu8mh
Just as I was about to 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAfTJtjebJZX
ask him why he had been giving me the attitude lately and if it had 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUfrhs8IX2A
anything to do with his jealousy, his phone rang. He quickly removed it 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA4M8h1eONv8
from his pocket and answered it.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxUvSIv2pqB
"Hello? Christine?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANATYIJmyYRHT
I was now attentive. Had she found Zoey? I wished I could have talked to her myself.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAk0dySNUmMs
"Okay, we will be right there. Inform the others as well."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA44toLGhpuE
"What happened?" I asked after he cut the call.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUsDaWfQkOQ
"Christine called to tell me that she knows where Zoey is."1057Please respect copyright.PENANANYKRF04JJz
"Where is she?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAT3I0bqQbwF
"She is at a famous café. I know where it is."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA1Bkrj6aBaW
"But how did Christine know where Zoey is?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANA4ezsVnCxCm
"Zoey's phone went back on and she texted where she was. And she is not alone."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAeLIABSjdIS
"Who is she with?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANA8s8kKXvPWl
"We're about to find out. Let's go."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAp3TFW7W2EL
G-Dragon got up from the1057Please respect copyright.PENANAcbsIgt0WNs
ground and he held out his hand to me. I took it and he pulled me up 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAoOM3TLJ5Cm
from the ground. We left the park together, heading towards his car.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA29Kch9kJZD
When we got in his car, 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAfprA8iEGs2
we drove through the city and we arrived at this small fancy café. We 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5la6rvRy3A
parked across the street and before we could get out of the car, I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFn7ZdNeLyw
looked across towards the café.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAKB574BOUAo
"Can you see, Zoey?" G-Dragon asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2Yew0Xw3Y2
Through the huge window,1057Please respect copyright.PENANAfbhYKF1qLo
I could see what was going on inside. Looked like a lot of people 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAQmFilZdiUq
enjoyed coming over to the café. The place was parked for an ordinary 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAmVUTMR9sw1
day in the afternoon.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAfER8lzaeG9
I searched for Zoey, but1057Please respect copyright.PENANAU5PqU7yJ7p
I couldn't see her. It was then that I saw Zoey at the far corner of 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2CulESBIal
the café. She was facing the window side and I saw her with someone. 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAylDEmX7TSD
Sitting opposite her was a man in a fancy looking black suit. From afar,1057Please respect copyright.PENANAWWlOJgoGwm
I could tell his suit was expensive and I couldn't see his face.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2nylc6Ee4f
"I see her," I said. "And she is definitely with someone."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAo54ICQT9lc
"Who is it?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHQzCt23B7m
"I don't know. By the look of his suit, he seems like a business man or one rich tycoon."1057Please respect copyright.PENANASWMM4t6aeB
"Seriously?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAfkRAZVuF6R
"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?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANACLe6Q8NhE9
G-Dragon looked towards the windshield, avoiding my gaze. "No, I'm not. I'm just wondering who it was, that's all."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAytfek5opl3
I rolled my eyes and 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA41Qq19rzre
said nothing more. I went back to looking at the café and focused on 1057Please respect copyright.PENANARt7nOhdfgq
Zoey. I decided to read her body language and see if she was okay. She 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA8fdbkyOkbP
looked like she was enjoying herself, chatting with this stranger.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAvH7JRsaJBp
She was sipping her cup 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA4SsxFYqIdn
of coffee and she went back to smiling at the stranger. Something was a 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdEZ2yTemSZ
bit off and I shifted on my seat to see if I was seeing right.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAuS32hgpcMN
"Hey, is something wrong?" G-Dragon asked, noticing my tension.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAMQuNYQxx6H
"Ya."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAmNlvPBoOnA
G-Dragon also turned on his seat and looked through the window.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAsVbRPny84O
Zoey's smile made me 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAsf6ngjMFli
wonder what was going on. She was smiling and chatting but she looked a 1057Please respect copyright.PENANANOhwCsTZmd
little nervous. Usually when she is with a guy, she was always the one 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAIf6zcjdEFT
who was never scared of leading the conversation and became pretty1057Please respect copyright.PENANAczXErgNhQk
comfortable with the person. Unless the guy was creepy enough to be a serial killer.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA8nn4mO5RYv
I felt a threat coming 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAsj4DyTJSNx
up. Was this guy dangerous? Zoey had a nervous smile on her face and if I1057Please respect copyright.PENANA4UilMeRmlO
was not mistaken, I think I noticed her fingers tap frantically on the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA7Eg2MX7Kkh
table. She did that whenever she was nervous. I had to know what was 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAKwVWyjMiES
going on in there.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA35nhpB3OQE
"Let's go," I said as I turned to look at G-Dragon. "I'm not liking this."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUTOfXlTGIu
"Thank you," said G-Dragon, looking relieved. "I had a bad feeling about this guy."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAMz7fuxyMoK
"Ya, right," I said as I grabbed the handle of the door, opened it and stepped out.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAOxPlz6D7Dz
Just as G-Dragon came 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAIKZdMiCEdT
out of the car, three cars appeared off the main road and came to park 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUjvxurG32D
in the parking space behind G-Dragon's car. The others had arrived.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAfVNVcu1ycJ
"Christine told us to meet you here," said Taeyang as he and Mike came out of his car.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAmTpxGghYVt
"Zoey's in the café," I said as I pointed across the road.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAffN6Tlvm1d
"Alright, let's go," said Seungri.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAIyveenBCRE
When I looked back at the café window, I noticed that Zoey was all alone on her table. That was odd. Where was he?1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFFU2ULN6Cp
"Oh, no, no, no," I said staring wide eyed inside the café.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAO2Fm7XbQuI
"What is it, Sam?" Daesung asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA8dyzaMGC9E
I didn't answer him as I1057Please respect copyright.PENANAmmDjX19kdC
quickly dashed across the road without even checking for any cars. I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAQSbsDzLuef
could hear the others behind call out to me to be careful. I luckily 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAaGwjXyfwjM
managed to reach the café without getting hit.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAgWQoMkFOAS
When I got to the café, a1057Please respect copyright.PENANAeWRa6HDQwP
few people came out through the door. None of them matched the person 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAqa9PSKhA6o
who was in the café with Zoey. I quickly went in and I found Zoey still 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAZE1XWCs901
sitting in the corner. I rushed over to her that my presence scared her.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAyjqYwkPVmT
"Sam! You scared me to death!" Zoey held her chest as she breathed in and out so heavily, trying to calm down.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAnQDlKcAD7L
"Where did you go?" I asked, taking the seat the stranger had been sitting on earlier.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAnFkUnUezAK
"Oh, I...um.." Zoey played with her fingers.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAmteqiZFDab
"Don't you dare try to 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAih1kB6F03X
lie to me, Zoey," I threatened. "You went with GD for lunch and the two 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAEN8LYn8kCY
of you went to the park. When GD went to get ice cream, you had 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAXYAsPkw4be
disappeared. And the next thing we know, you're here."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAvDyLklafIO
"Christine told you where I was?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANANbCtHQV0Mw
"Of course she had to. We were worried sick."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAXvkUutarJL
I heard the bell of the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAO9imMECIm2
café ring and I knew the others had arrived. They soon came over by the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA7dIMWHSY6n
table. Only Taeyang, G-Dragon and Daniel were the ones who came in.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2YxZKyQq5O
"Zoey where have you been?" Daniel asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAkPoXqbgBRf
"And who was that guy you were with, huh?" G-Dragon asked, looking down at Zoey with a frown on his face.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYxqdKRf4PL
"Awww, are you jealous, my G-Dragon?" Zoey smiled at him.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAwL6TDPCygn
"Stop taking all this 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAE4JaZMnUsW
like a joke, Zoey. I saw the way you were behaving with him. You weren't1057Please respect copyright.PENANAPxgAyFBxg7
yourself when I saw you from across the street," I said.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxi0rI7TkVl
The smile on Zoey's face1057Please respect copyright.PENANAukps7MykEJ
disappeared in an instant. Good. Maybe now she would take us seriously.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAJiB4nDMidh
Her safety was way more important than she could ever imagine. If 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA1HcY59A3EZ
anything had happened to her, a lot of us here would never forgive 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAbvnpk8t8SO
ourselves.1057Please respect copyright.PENANABdVBdqguEV
"Can we please get out of here?" Taeyang suggested. "This isn't the place to discuss this."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAF0289N4xH3
"You're right," I said 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAQGkAY0Gokd
as I looked around the café and many heads were turning our way. I hated1057Please respect copyright.PENANAhikGF8r7VC
attracting so much attention sometimes.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAw3O3L7v53r
The others had started 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2uO3FupHxB
to leave and Zoey and I both stood up from the table. I noticed the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAQPXVx7FI3R
teacup the stranger had used and my mind still couldn't stop thinking 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAelcOKF27Pj
about who he was.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAQKkl30MgTp
After we left the café, 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAIxouzv882N
we went back across the road where the vehicles were parked. Daesung, 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAR4aS2tFdEG
TOP, Mike and Daesung stood waiting for us.1057Please respect copyright.PENANACLqgvRW6vW
"Thank goodness, you're alright, Zoey," said Daesung.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAezZi86AIXa
"Ya, thank goodness you weren't lost," said Mike. "We wondered if we would find you in a ditch or something."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAkHcrGot9LG
Zoey frowned at Mike and all he could do was smile back at her mischievously.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHY0YhGQ6kQ
"Let's all go back to the hotel, shall we?" I suggested. "Zoey can tell us everything from there."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAbaDRVtsBDI
Zoey and I went in 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA0P0TiGqZpz
G-Dragon's car making sure I sat in the backseat. The others got in the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA8jQUc28tIg
other cars and we drove off, G-Dragon's car leading the way.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxDxDo5PopM
We were all back in the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAgGWYxC83RP
hotel on our floor. Luckily, Collins wasn't around. I was relieved. Now I1057Please respect copyright.PENANApLalnBLlYO
could vent out all my anger on Zoey.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAcvqCWSdQ87
We gathered ourselves in1057Please respect copyright.PENANAGa7Y0Ov72U
the lounge. The others sat on the couch and made themselves 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA96a4nFv3ro
comfortable. Zoey and I were left standing and I looked at her, with my 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHIRvNkmLiW
hands on my hips.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAH1QVQrgZZX
"Okay, let's start with why you disappeared?" I asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3AZEQTCMuA
"No, don't ask that," said G-Dragon. "Ask who she was with first."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAjX6Jiwh6Nt
"I'm the one asking the questions." I turned to face G-Dragon. "I want to know what made her go like that."1057Please respect copyright.PENANArCUux6fZ1w
"Fine, I tell you," said1057Please respect copyright.PENANAVvGkIiWauM
Zoey raising her hand to calm me down. "G-Dragon went over to get some 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAisszGZVM6S
ice cream when a person came up to me. Said he was my biggest fan."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAHoNElGDpYn
"Don't tell me you fell for the person's good looks like always," said Christine shaking her head.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAobCTS4RLZ1
"You know handsome men are my weakness," said Zoey. "Sorry G-Dragon."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAF2prxeVFIX
"No, I don't mind," said1057Please respect copyright.PENANAIqkOz8gbX0
G-Dragon, shaking his head. I looked at him again and I was surprised 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAG1dSaqiSzE
with the look on his face that he really didn't mind at all.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAbmdoqQXfJ3
"So, he said he is your biggest fan and then what?" Taeyang asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAuQZJ4HtM31
"He offered that the two of us go out for some coffee," said Zoey. "That's how I left."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAg5IrEKKtUw
"Now that makes no sense or maybe you have no sense, Zoey," said Seungri.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAqi7wBkA2E8
"Huh?" Zoey looked at Seungri, looking embarrassed.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAbhYAfABp5l
"As much as that sounds 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAvPLjm4pocy
totally embarrassing, Seungri is right," said Christine. "What you said 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAqVAP1RMclz
doesn't make sense at all. How could you go out for coffee with someone 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAZRJ0QXb9OC
you claims to be your fan without taking G-Dragon along with you?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANArz1vFKOMY6
I started to tap my foot1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2rYxJVyRG9
and looked at Zoey, ready to breathe out fire if necessary. Christine 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAD3KD5NMg0U
was right and surprisingly, Seungri too. She wasn't telling us the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxHKzZvG4jf
truth.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAMPdfWIZFpa
"Come on, Zoey, tell us 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAPmwPOAmriY
what really happened," I said. "You couldn't leave without GD. And you 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAR9R4kFgZCZ
had your phone turned off. All I know about the person you were with is 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAoGIwQYINwh
that he was wearing an expensive black suit."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAyc2JGLXSyq
"Okay, do you really want to know the truth?" Zoey asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA7ezvFJTXo5
"Yes!" everyone replied at the same time, that almost made Zoey jump in fright.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAjRv1QN9LFV
"Okay, okay, eish," said1057Please respect copyright.PENANAiCmjwaL9wF
Zoey. "You scared the hell out of me. The truth is, I went with my fan 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYYplWilHNI
because he insisted that I go with him and not tell anyone about it."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAar65CNLklC
"Huh?" TOP looked confused.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAPRBL405OBJ
"What fan lays out that kind of condition?" Mike asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANASAFjEX0Rbs
"Someone who was ready to take advantage of Zoey," I answered.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAasNSpUG16o
"If he did, you guys still wouldn't have found me," said Zoey.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAY4GHBRHHIv
"If he did, you wouldn't have been looking so nervous in the café."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3E3QLAvadm
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.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAZPQ2WtbbzN
"Then what were you two talking about?" I asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAOBa2B2PiQL
"Just stuff," said Zoey, avoiding my eyes. "About me and my celebrity life."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAi60TEBu4ez
"You're sure?" I asked. "Didn't he talk about himself?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAlVzpkgE2NU
"Ya, totally." Zoey nodded her head. He never said anything about himself. Not even his name."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAn2pFcmQJaG
"Then why did you look so nervous in the café?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANA15CV89G4fV
"He was asking some personal questions I didn't like."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAeK98Ayca1d
"Are you sure?" Daniel 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5V0mwVZytC
asked. "When someone asks you a personal question, you either snap back 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdS5Sr5768o
at them or walk away. Whether it's an annoying reporter, any of your 1057Please respect copyright.PENANALrRwIVzFOg
haters or even us."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAfbKcbZDpqn
Daniel was right. Zoey 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAIVVNNdVERM
would have stood and walked away from the stranger but she didn't. I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAIjVtMgdxLl
wondered what question he might have asked her. That's if Zoey was 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAJynD7bibbo
telling the truth.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA6zPqazzyDg
"I didn't want to look so mean in front of him," said Zoey. "He seemed like a very nice guy."1057Please respect copyright.PENANARJfU9df5Wp
"A very nice guy that 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAMpVhyZe6Gp
made you run off with him, made you switch off your phone and made you 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAcrALR4nPAb
so uncomfortable," said G-Dragon, looking really irritated.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAMphsbw06En
"Come on," said Zoey. "He wasn't that bad, seriously."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAh2KoNG48ES
I didn't want to 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAki3cT2xjbh
pressurise Zoey with more questions. Right now, she was getting away 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAfP7aA4Po4f
with it. If she was hiding something, I would find out sooner or later.1057Please respect copyright.PENANABGUTe9fAGB
"Okay," I said. "We're just glad you're fine."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAn9Qj5rUy3N
"And not dead," said 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA4xWRkMXPND
Mike with a smirk. Seungri and Christine who sat on either side of him, 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA1hVTeBlhf0
both gave him the elbow in the side and he howled in pain.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA467M444owC
"I'll pretend I never heard that," said Zoey.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAkIitpTSxmQ
"And you better get 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA0yRItrNh60
ready for Collins," I said giving Zoey a smirk of my own. "We told him 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAAizoYFuxfC
you had a bad tummy ache and that's why you weren't at the studio."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA8taqzs69iy
"Seriously?" Zoey gave me an angry stare. "Couldn't you have told him a better lie?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAzYqVG4bDts
"That you were missing? Fat chance. You've already put some of us into enough trouble for one day."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA1fj8zN19pv
"Alright. Sorry. I won't do that again."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2rdfGqeIqC
I rolled my eyes, while shaking my head and went over to the dining table. Something told me it wouldn't be the last.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA90dHFizeyM
"Well, now that you're found," said Daesung, as he stood up. "Some of us better get going."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAQszHJwwjTR
"Sorry for putting you guys into so much trouble," said Zoey.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA7GLnbFxSiR
"As long as you're fine and Collins isn't going to kill us, it's okay," said Taeyang with a smile.1057Please respect copyright.PENANArXQ4lKbm8U
"I'll be leaving too," said Seungri and he gave Zoey a hug and he walked over to hug me as well.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAMlQ0xHKYi6
"Alright, see you tomorrow," I said.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAmvwLeylkRp
One by one the BigBang 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA73k6EGZ1EL
members started to leave, saying bye to each other. G-Dragon stayed 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAbBsQDWItyQ
behind with Zoey so that they could talk a little. Giving them privacy, 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2XiPtuh8Rs
Christine, my brothers and I left for our rooms.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFs5eJDFVJP
When I went in my room, I1057Please respect copyright.PENANAckyNYrXDvp
went for my phone that was still charging on my bed. The phone was 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAe9u5MJSe9k
still off and I decided to switch it on. It was almost full.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAEEOi5UwinE
There was a knock on the door and I called out to the person to come in. Christine entered.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAd6MYLxEQYU
"Hey, can we talk?" Christine asked as she closed the door behind her.1057Please respect copyright.PENANADrJU9Xw7N3
"About what?" I turned to look at her.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxkpSqe1CkJ
"Do you really believe what Zoey told us?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAGXsegRXLj4
"No, I don't." I sat on the bed.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAAs7y6SvV3p
"Looks like I'm not the only one," said Christine as she came to sit on Zoey's bed, facing me.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAu1PFmGecB3
"I wonder why she isn't telling us the truth."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAjn28G7mDMq
"Did you see the man's face?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3DunA7T5qm
"No. All I could say is that he wore a fancy and expensive suit."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA1Nv563zR4r
"I wonder who he is. Maybe he is some rich tycoon or something."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdsZ3mMpxIw
"That's what I thought too." I gave Christine a smile.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAm6zgnvky05
"I bet he is good 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAWHzBTBOafC
looking too. I still wonder why Zoey left like that without telling 1057Please respect copyright.PENANACaJ9oCUl29
anyone. Do you think she really did all that just because the stranger 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAFdVXjEg9sL
told her to?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAMhXmrpZXGf
"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?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANApqnQ0glXJc
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."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA7iuvb3Twhe
"You said so yourself, Christine. There is no other explanation. He might have blackmailed her or something."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYlrHlCsnp4
"Okay, but blackmailed her with what?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANA1pa09IBhBE
"That we have to find out."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAirOf2tGfJv
I was just about to grab my phone and check out if I had any messages when Zoey came in the room.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAKmM9uFmPAG
"Oh. Has GD left already?" Christine asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAjXheOMyT6p
"Ya. He left," Zoey replied. I heard a bit of sadness in her voice.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3OcsrDUMBB
"Are you okay? You don't look alright," I said.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA7qihhMLTm1
"I'm fine. G-Dragon and I talked about something serious."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAWZVdSFYvtA
Oh my. Had he told her 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAI6DE3vskyn
about what we had discussed earlier at the park? As much as I knew it 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAWuysyI7axH
was going to hurt Zoey, it was for the best. Besides, she was going to 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA1te2CWZktc
find someone way better than G-Dragon. Hopefully, even me.1057Please respect copyright.PENANALv4RFx0Zdk
"What did you talk about?" I asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAwFLi2dWFyp
"He was just pissed that1057Please respect copyright.PENANAkFB8FvEoIi
I left like that," Zoey answered. "He thought maybe he said something 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAuzidXfMfPH
that might have upset me or something."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAX7nQ5laWGQ
"Oh." That wasn't what I was expecting. "Well, I had asked him earlier if he had said something that might have upset you."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAPfYkKmfmw6
"But he didn't."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAU3WjPh83s3
"I see why Sam asked," 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAzmIlpFNSFS
said Christine. "When someone gets you so upset, you run away. You've 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYYoPXhPXXf
done that many times before back home during our school days, you know?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANA18uB1Xwfme
"Ya I know. Forget about it." Zoey waved her hand in annoyance. "What's happened has happened."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxLlY6uXRL8
And I hope it will never1057Please respect copyright.PENANA20CtV4ONRT
happen again, but this guy in the suit still worried me. Until I know 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAXzd9vQ2Yif
who he is, I wasn't going to pretend that the worst has passed when it 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAku57DE3Cwj
was yet to come at any moment.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAvoHactM6Uw
The next thing I knew, the door to our room flew open and Lee walked in.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAmmo8DTTU4L
"Lee!" the three of us exclaimed in excitement.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAj5sC4on77u
"Wow! Did you guys miss me?" Lee asked with a smile on her face.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAC0FqxUdLKE
"Ya, we did," said Zoey, putting her arm over Lee's shoulders.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAyEyys9gTgw
"Well, I missed you too," said Lee. "So, what happened today? I heard you never finished up on the song."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAT4sIRHWkxJ
Christine, Zoey and I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANABwzfdUbkQP
shook our heads and talked randomly at the same time, saying nothing 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAyxe0OmoU4V
really happened. Lee knew something was up and even if it could clearly 1057Please respect copyright.PENANACvoK7mbTIU
show on her face, she didn't push us. She just smiled.1057Please respect copyright.PENANASSVj4RyIkg
"Well, you'll tell me later," said Lee. "Collins and I were just....."1057Please respect copyright.PENANADIxkepfugp
"Collins is here!" Zoey's face went white like a sheet.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAjtym3X082G
"Yes, he is," said Lee 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAMQ9hnoiSB1
with a wicked smile. "Now if you don't want to get into trouble, I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAgdkEZRob2U
suggest you go on your bed and cry out that you still aren't feeling 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAhqq9YZFpXj
well."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAai4jegBQkV
Christine and I almost burst out laughing. Zoey frowned.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAU2HeT8qQPj
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Zoey as she went over to her bed and sat down.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAPcgEfWdahl
"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."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAVR4ZwU3uZV
"Us?" I asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAEfmdzzLQ4G
"Ya, the letter on the package was directed to The Toxins. It's with Collins in the lounge."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdApbRkJEuZ
Christine and I rushed 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA7kBeCxK2zh
out of the room leaving Zoey with Lee. She had to pretend she was still 1057Please respect copyright.PENANABdtrxg8c3z
not feeling well. We found Collins in the lounge with the package in his1057Please respect copyright.PENANAs3NDoiAAKW
hand.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxWQjztDrSO
"Hey, Collins," I said. "What's that?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAoszEtKMj1m
"This came in for you guys," said Collins. "And with a letter too."1057Please respect copyright.PENANATMlP0XCUoA
"Did I hear there is something for us?" Daniel asked as he and Mike came in the lounge.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA99R68NV7zl
"Ya. Here you go." Collins gave me the package.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAd1SrmME7Nm
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.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA6gp1WntN9E
I took the letter and 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYTSwfc6k2b
gave the package for Christine to hold and opened the envelope to remove1057Please respect copyright.PENANAAN7crD6oY2
a letter. I unfolded the letter and I read it out loud:1057Please respect copyright.PENANAy8hK8w07Xm
"Hope you're all okay. Just wanted to say I'm your biggest fan. With lots of love."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA23o704lsHV
"That's it?" Mike asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANApc7i8cVQaY
"Ya, that's pretty much it," I said, looking behind the letter but there was nothing. "No name at all."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAj0NwuDQVWU
"Did you see anyone who sent this?" Daniel asked Collins.1057Please respect copyright.PENANADNZtf70ikR
"All that the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAE8fdwB3CMs
receptionist told us was that some young man in a suit gave it to her 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAk0A8ingKfC
and she should give either you guys or us when we came by the lobby."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAIhcWy4Jdgp
My eyes went wide and my1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdqfYpRQHZJ
heart pace quickened. Did Collins just say a young man in a suit? Maybe1057Please respect copyright.PENANADarSJ42vLm
I heard wrong and needed some clarification.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ab95F9tjJ
"A young man in a suit?" Mike asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANABMtD8g071T
"Ya. Do you perhaps know him?" Collins asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAh5ctiVW4ir
"Huh, no," said Christine, shaking her head.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAg8zyxt3UcY
"Oh. For a moment there, you guys looked a little frightened," said Collins. "I thought you might know him."1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2tNcbfJnCl
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?1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5CiYKX5pGn
"Open it, Christine," said Daniel.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA73P3gLbRXk
Christine threw Daniel 1057Please respect copyright.PENANACfwwSg2Rpv
an angry glance. She obviously didn't want to open it and I knew what 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAQhf8mpCvb9
she was thinking. What if there was a bomb inside? Or maybe something to1057Please respect copyright.PENANAIungNUJ8xz
threaten or blackmail us? You could only think of the worst from a 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAOu3qdSS6G6
person you barely even knew.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAKcqVP3BYt7
"Let me," I said as I took the package from Christine and I sat down on the couch with the package on my lap.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAliStwRIW25
Collins was watching us for a second and then left the lounge. I sighed in relief and so did the others.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA0WlE8REfm2
"I thought he would never leave," Mike whispered after we heard the door to Collins' room open and close.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAfAXd04qtzh
"Can you check if he is really in his room?" I asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA0mO5eTyNQc
Mike went in the hall and came back seconds later. "He is in the room."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYIXXcHNWlG
"I'm really nervous," said Christine. "What is in there?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANARqf0gkE5g4
"I don't know," said Daniel. "I hope it is nothing that could kill us."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAt2SCcjlKZD
Mike hit Daniel at the back of his head and Daniel whined in pain.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAARrenc1EhU
"Don't say that," said Mike. "I don't want to die soon."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAhQIziyBv27
"Guys, calm down," I said. "Let's just open this thing and see what's in it."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAujwhsdqq54
"Okay, but take your 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAF2Bngh03lE
time," said Christine. "If there is a bomb in there, I want to say my 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAOyxCTzU9Xf
last prayers before I leave this earth."1057Please respect copyright.PENANAV40NGmFXdY
I rolled my eyes but I 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAaPG3gGnj3z
was as scared as the rest of them. If we were to make out of this alive,1057Please respect copyright.PENANA05EmcE5pBl
I was going to kill Zoey myself for dragging us into this mess.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAf3tV9US80x
I started to unwrap the package. It was a white box.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAW2Zo7QPtJ1
The other three couldn't1057Please respect copyright.PENANAjHxE7RbCcz
stop staring at the box and I needed to end this paranoia once and for 1057Please respect copyright.PENANADggh9v0s6B
all. I quickly removed the lid without thinking that there might be 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAkpQs14MpJP
something dangerous in the box. The others even covered their faces. But1057Please respect copyright.PENANAmTM6zUVpv2
nothing happened.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAA2FMwHwkjp
"What the....?" I looked in the box and what I saw, shocked me completely.1057Please respect copyright.PENANACQLL0XzMfO
"What is it?" Christine asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAsJNJMT9QRz
I looked up at the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAnoVTAclnBI
others and they bended over to see what was in the box. Their jaws 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxZGPC4VO4g
dropped almost at the same time and we looked at each other.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAPNworksNNG
"This is just ridiculous," I said as I shook my head.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAVPAHaWrp7k
Christine, Mike and Daniel suddenly burst out laughing.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAC6uEoF0te2
Zoey and Lee came rushing into the lounge.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3BpZ21ITEE
"Hey? What's going on?" Zoey asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANACfcQX84dfN
No one answered. I was too speechless to say anything and the rest were still laughing.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAM3cmBcuxSi
"What is in the package, Sam?" Lee asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA2ipDsozx4u
I soon removed a little cute brown teddy bear and held it up for Zoey and Lee to see.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAglpcnhlT79
"Huh? You're laughing all because of a teddy bear?" Zoey looked at the others, wondering if they were okay in the head.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAYf0w78Oijq
"Oh, my goodness, Zoey," said Christine trying to catch her breath with tears in her eyes. "Can't you see it?"1057Please respect copyright.PENANAsWsHmqaMaP
"See what?" Zoey and Lee asked the same time.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA3s1HEcrsUk
"The...the...suit!" Mike laughed even more, pointing at the teddy bear.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA7NpJ8MjqbJ
It was then that Zoey 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAvdONs6DmIW
looked at the bear in my hand and recognised that the tiny teddy bear 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAsx3Hox9C1h
wore a tiny black suit with a tiny black tie. Zoey looked like she was 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAsONIedpMpi
about to get sick. Looked like she already figured out it was the1057Please respect copyright.PENANASaoSEkJemA
stranger who she was with today that sent it.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA4i8N79xUYA
"Guys, what am I missing here?" Lee asked.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAUzXfRKwX4t
"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.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAGrF1R7mbZm
The other three continued to laugh when they saw Zoey take the bear. Lee looked as confused as ever.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAbS86tWmWnZ
"And here I thought it was a bomb," said Daniel, wiping away the tears in his eyes.1057Please respect copyright.PENANApyWu1qZWBd
"Ya. But it just turned out to be a bear in a suit," said Christine. "A harmless bear!"1057Please respect copyright.PENANATKSxEPHWix
This time, they laughed 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAdHtDnmydXO
even louder and I couldn't help but start laughing too. A minute ago, we1057Please respect copyright.PENANAT0GQJfDb5X
had feared for our lives and it was for no good reason. I saw the 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAhNJvQ8jzEF
reason to laugh along as well. Who knows what the future might hold? You1057Please respect copyright.PENANAhBVsyXyNJn
could die at any given day. We were just glad to be alive and laughing.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAXDlrmH7GRX
"Stop it, guys," said Zoey with a frown. "This isn't funny." Lee just shook her head in disbelief.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAgCGiyLNNA7
"You brought this on yourself, not us," said Mike.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA9u8fqVB0oL
"What's with all the laughing?" Collins asked as he came into the lounge.1057Please respect copyright.PENANA5xXyjFCY12
Zoey held up the bear 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAxhqzrzGANB
for Collins to see. It was such a funny site given that Zoey looked like1057Please respect copyright.PENANA8yBinFTUET
she was about to cry and she held the bear's little arm in between her 1057Please respect copyright.PENANA6GSJtYjvWA
fingers that it was dangling in midair. That sent us into another wave 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAlNCwiKA2Ut
of laughter. This time, Mike and Christine were on the floor and Daniel 1057Please respect copyright.PENANAWp2u1lx01y
fell right beside me on the couch. I laughed so hard my stomach ached.1057Please respect copyright.PENANAmKPfIhl3Hd
And surprisingly, Collins laughed too.
