Have you ever been awake995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jGeBo8dak
for so long in your bed with no thought or sign of sleep and your heart995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pRwsF2Ck3
isn't at peace because you're afraid of what's going to happen as the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSJvv3M6hq
day goes on?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZhMx57E2D
That's how I felt right at this moment.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BEX827XfO
I tossed in my bed, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5eQsUhKvw
turning to the side and looking towards the curtain. There was still no 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPvOaYyw1U
sign of the sun coming up and I was getting frustrated. I wished the sun995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOWBW7XVsw
could come up so that I could meet my end already.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs3HHZm4k8
I quickly sat up and went for my phone on the drawer close to my bed. I checked the time. It was only 4 AM.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgt6ttpqgIE
I fell back on my bed, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLeZHkBJjJ
the back of my head hitting the pillows real hard. I clenched my teeth 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd9qfSPhbG
in irritation. Sunrise felt like forever and I was already tired of 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwjBou0G0u
sleeping. This had been the third time that I had to wake up and only 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayZDfLDaLo
realise that I had only slept for a few minutes. I wish I could sleep 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28IZNaquWx
till sunrise, but waking up three times meant I was too bothered in my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0BMcNmPCV
mind even to dream.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bqolN4pzL
I turned to my other side where my stuffed panda lay beside me and I cuddled it in my arms.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz0qOPbMcQ
How I wish I could fall 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gl22WeNKz
asleep. I admired Zoey whom I could hear snoring slightly in her sleep. I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56OG9MlOpB
stared up at the dark ceiling trying to picture things in my mind but I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYOnTsdgQj
couldn't. Even my imagination wasn't working.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVmOkVVXfr
I sighed as I looked at the panda. I couldn't stop thinking of what I was going to do today, especially with G-Dragon and Zoey.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAvXvmfiie
I knew I now had to face995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy4MM29eWu
the music. And even though we had quite a hectic day yesterday, Zoey 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDWvsYpxCL
hadn't given up on me about what happened with G-Dragon and me. And even995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMqWpXvEYG
though she was tired when we got back, she still hadn't stopped 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXn3WNjUVa
bothering me until she finally gave up and went straight to bed.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUow1pNr8P
I knew her persistence 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRrILotoKc
was far from over and I had to prepare myself for more of it today. I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAFpX0GMmH
know Zoey must be very worried about me, but I was more worried about 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGKEAZpPJ0
her if I had to tell her the truth.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHjXU8hax1
I know sometimes we 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnRp5BnjdJ
people lie to prevent the others we love and care about from getting 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdYnfMmEkY
hurt. But there will come a point in time when you can't keep it to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHJWntvgFg
yourself any longer because the guilt will eat you up inside. Sadly, I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasbBcZ73Ct
had now reached that point.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrKe8xt8v2
I sighed again as I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj88dhx9eqj
turned again to the other side, taking the panda in my arms with me. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t8ZQqyGQ6
What wrong did I ever do to be in the position I was in right now?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ1NEmJZU4
If it came to G-Dragon, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2kKUNLITF
he was going to be one person who will be difficult to talk to. I know I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX7mXlLbhQ
betrayed his trust, and trying to convince him was going to be a whole 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMM0O31CIq
lot harder.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC67RLy5ke
How was I going to tell 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kCkaxSDl9
him that yes, Daesung and I did kiss, but all of that happened due to a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaTTPbp2tp
completely different story? I know how bad he must be feeling and if I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9dYYoMJgI
was in his shoes, I probably wouldn't believe anything I would say 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSTGjTehXt
either.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVeSWkt3Ep
I kicked out the bed 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMi3OieMd2
covers and got up from the bed. And taking Mr Panda with me and my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKZSLDAYJQ
phone, I slipped my feet into my bed slippers and walked out of the room995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLt4byoglB
in my purple pyjamas.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSdV3i2I2X
I went straight for the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPkYjVSyqN
dark, empty lounge and I turned on the lights. I went to sit on the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNEvOuiFiW
comfortable couch and with my feet up and folded with Mr Panda in my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGUG0dXF0a
arms, I unlocked my phone and went straight to my contacts and called my995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mr14I6MDk
mum.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz5iwRbuSy
Hopefully, I was calling995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIhKS0a7lr
her at the right time. I wasn't really sure what time it would be back 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFv1GUqDd6
home in the U.S. I was too bothered to even try and figure out all this 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hZpdcYzKk
time zones nonsense. I just had to talk to someone. And why not my mum?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aRo5nWrxr
I put the phone to my ear hoping she would pick up. I just hope she wasn't busy at work or something.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZkvZ41Rnp
She finally picked up the phone on the fourth ring.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscGh0FNQMx
"Hello, Sam?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoXS1RuoLC
"Hi, mum."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ9948u2OE
"Sam, how are you, dear?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDjVvivpO3
"I'm good. How are you? Are you at work?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEefKgQ1Qs1
"Yes, I am, sweetie. I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr7kc574Bj
am just looking at photos online on the computer. A friend of mine just 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMqBn0oJMb
told me you guys went out bowling with BigBang."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1vOnyHSo6
"Ah.." I scratched my head. "We did, mum. And we had fun."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ4ageukVw
"Ya, I can see you guys 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNaWBloLbk
smiling and laughing on the photos." I could hear clicking in the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gnqe2w9QK
background and that confirmed that she was tapping away on the mouse of 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BSQZJdf8W
her computer as she looked at the pictures.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhbdGcprk0
"So, was it more like a competition?" she asked. "It's says here that you guys won."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkt6eVAuXr
"It was mum. We won," I said with a smile. "You should have seen what happened. It was awesome."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYQUnNzfWp
"I'll check out the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1NZWX5F9a
videos later on and see everything for myself, dear," I could hear my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyImelYbRU
mum clicking quickly on the mouse. "Now tell me. What's bothering you? 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglsU2uUEaD
Why aren't you asleep?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IQ4mjuNGD
I raised an eyebrow. "You know what time it is here?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZB5YtY4cH
"I'm your mother, Sam. Of course I know what time it is."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWSyPoHc8e
I could imagine my mum 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aorUmYNC0
with a stern look on her face as she said that. If we weren't talking on995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49JaPdwdaw
the phone and I was standing in front of her, she probably would have 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunyMsGcqVF
her arms folded.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ZjYr0EwC
"I know its way too early in the morning for you to be awake right now," she continued. "What's up?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuapRZlxaHW
"I feel my whole life has been nothing but a lie, mum," I said as I tugged at Mr Panda's ears.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NUL148WSI
"Your name is Samantha Glasson and you're a famous pop star. That my child, is not a lie."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q93AoiYxT
"Mum, you know what I mean when I say that."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdfVmKo17v
She sighed. "What did you lie about this time?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwxKIyv95B
"I've lied way too much in my life, but this time, I think I'm in a really big mess that I can't seem to get out of."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZSRQBuv0Z
"Tell me. I've all the time to listen."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNDJL3J3Nh
"I've been lying to Zoey995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6xPjkh2Hv
and everyone else about G-Dragon and I, and I don't now how to tell 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDYdIiWixT
them, especially Zoey since she likes G-Dragon so much. It would crush 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8QcKGmWrY
her if she finds out G-Dragon likes me and not her."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfIzNrGWlw
"I thought you girls weren't supposed to date any one of those guys."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDX9FFvot3
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Wow. Collins really does tell you everything, does he?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOGTtkiRQI
"Whatever he tells you, we as parents have to know too. I hope Zoey's mum isn't going to freak when she finds out."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgzHZ5bexL
"Trust me, mum, Collins 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4yjwh2tNQ
has no clue with what's going on in our private circle and I suggest 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcrmSGT2Ar
that you shouldn't say a word either."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUVGsjHtzA
"Is that a threat?" I imagined my mum's eyebrow raised.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSvHdVKdUC
"You know I can never 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7C3UkLuKK
threaten you, mum. It's just for now until we come back home. It's a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxtSvTQXwi
matter of life and death. I've no choice."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJpLlph2h4
"I know. But why does Zoey like him?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBrtIbAxdX
"Knowing Zoey, you must know by now the kind of guy she would fall for, mum."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgf2gwuOdh
"True. But how come she likes him but he likes you? Don't tell me you also like him too."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIk0fuhQgn
"Well....." I hesitated, trying to figure out what to say next.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTmv3Ke2cf
"Samantha Glasson," my mum's voice sounded stern now. "Tell me the truth."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYqs60PuTa
I sighed. "I also like him, mum."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ736yw0hAFY
There was silence at the other end. Until....995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEQNwzZrde
"WHAT!"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uqHJdcyVQ
"Mum, calm down. It's not what you think."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapCmW77S3G
"Then what is it? The 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTEtWGVtYd
way I'm seeing it, you also like him and you feel guilty because you 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3RCEGPEze
feel like you're betraying your best friend."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ajkYi5Wn8
"It was like that at 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kBTkxmCR1
first. I really do like G-Dragon but I'm learning to like him as a close995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS5bDFluhv
friend because I know how Zoey likes him and because of Collins' 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfENRG2JHp
'golden rule'." I put "golden rule" in quotation marks with my remaining995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc3H5aTWPq
fingers.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCTqKu7Pt3
"What do you mean it was like that at first?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuCBjlMlRD
"I like G-Dragon, but he isn't the only one."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7CoNmnqXj
"Don't tell me you like someone else from the same group too."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM2AKjxN5F
I closed my eyes as I winced. "Yes, mum."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSNhZCVV3a
She didn't say a word. I wondered what she was thinking right now.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7lTLaEUJd
"You're really in one hell of a mess, dear."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95HUY59jWw
"And that's not the worst part."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vx0mshzGF
I told her what happened995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB3q5lsp4b
the day Zoey went missing, making sure I didn't mention the stranger in995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRduNJsHMKS
the suit. I talked about what G-Dragon and I had talked about in the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPvD5Ejwbi
park and what we agreed upon. Then I told her what happened with Daesung995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5El46MrNu
and the kiss.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7v5OWXld0
"You kissed?" my mum sounded surprised.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGI9ELiLhZ
"Ssh, and listen."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzeFAxVSYJ
I told her that G-Dragon and Zoey saw us but they didn't witness the kiss. And I told her what happened afterwards.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2zj8QcZvk
"You're in a real mess, Sam. You now have two people to tell the truth to."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KqnIyzWhZ
"If it's not Zoey and G-Dragon, then it's the entire group."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PhWB84fpw
"I know. But you can't lie forever now, can you?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvPP5WGLbU
I thought of what she said. "You're right. We all deserve to know the truth someday."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mAky4MvkL
"Are you scared?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Nng90Ufua
"I am. Maybe that's why I can't fall asleep." I hugged Mr Panda close to me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVu2fKm8eC
"It's okay to be scared, sweetie. And it's good that you decided to come out clean."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9SqPOwUfw
"I don't want people getting hurt because of me." I could now feel tears coming up in my eyes.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFlBPURhRO
"We all get hurt at some995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoffT1eLiWZ
point in our lives, sweetie. That's why there is a time for everything.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiNneZm3v0
Just wait and see. After the storm, everything will be back to the way 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uaLDMG1I7
it was and everyone will forget about it. Besides, no one can stay mad 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREMfeeBYti
at you forever, Sam. Not even me."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAHitcvL8H
I smiled as a tear ran down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHko1yQcfhh
"Thanks, mum." I sniffed.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG23s3yql8f
"Don't cry, okay? You're995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8OnfXRRpQ
a brave girl. Now, do me a favour and get a few minutes of sleep. You 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK7mUWjzpQ
will need all the rest you can get."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnOqnTrN9j
"Yes, mum. I will."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUemWf6UySm
"Bye, Sam. Tell me what happens, okay?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuXd82dglh
"Okay. Bye."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNfaS982D1
I hang up and I quickly 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqyJJegm6D
got up from the couch with Mr Panda and went back in the room, straight 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPEAYiLuDM
into the bed covers. I fell asleep in an instant with Mr Panda in my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxCmC7rFvq
arms.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwGAzafbWw
It must have been some 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34nAhh8kgZ
time around 7:40 when I finally woke up. The sun rays shone brightly 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcVkTEmxoY
into the room that I had to shield my eyes with my hand from the light.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrNkZJMmUz
"Wakey! Wakey!" Zoey came over and sat next to me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiac9d9FxB
"Mmmm." I murmered as I turned around and covered my head with a blanket. "Leave me alone."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTb2FM9upX
"You've to get up, Sam. We have a big day ahead of us."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYZjIRfGHI
"Isn't it a Sunday today?" I asked as I removed the blanket from my head.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ayIFr9tZM
"Sadly, it isn't, my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXGim1JKpz
dear kitty," said Zoey as she placed her hand on my head. "Looks like 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUuN30ZKj1
you weren't the only one praying for it to be a Sunday."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiVwgbev8z
"Okay." I muttered as I sat up on my bed and rubbed away the sleep in my eyes.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBqFrj0jA4
"You know you have a lot of explaining to do, right?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhruXttGFX
I yawned, then sighed. "I know. You don't have to tell me."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BEpZ19uRU
"So, start talking right now."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq10595WjQ3
I looked at Zoey with wide eyes. "You want to talk now?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO18WsFcaw8
"Ya. I'm still really worried about you."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsazqjTXTji
Looks like I had no choice. This was it. Time to tell the truth.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCtKfLBBkH
"What I'm about to tell you, is going to crush you completely, Zoey."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOIeVy6iBk
Zoey turned to look at me with a serious look on her face. "What are you saying, Sam? Is it that serious?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKpSx5xpat
"It really is, and I feel bad that I have to tell you."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPZp3o7DIy
I hesitated as I looked down at my hands and played with my fingers. Zoey put her hand over mine and I looked at her.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyvxSyCGlY
"Just tell me, Sam. Even if it's going to hurt."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAsIYJyQGJ
I closed my eyes bracing myself for impact. My heart was pounding so hard.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bKpDW1hPI
"It's about G-Dragon and I," I said. "I'm sorry to say this but...."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeEPxtngAY
"You like him, don't you?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqwg7YXuEe
I opened my eyes in shock. That wasn't supposed to happen. And what made Zoey say all that?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQiHeSivhL
"I..uh...no, that's not it."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpikIZ5TSC1
Zoey laughed. "Don't worry, Sam. I know how much you also like him. I'm not mad."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrugTCpBPY
"Zoey, that wasn't what I...."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaePNLrc4x
"Expected from me?" Zoey995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Gjz2SBZC
grinned as she flipped her hair to the side. "I know, you're surprised.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalb2ot26yB
I like him, you like him, the whole world likes him."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPGJimL4QK
"Zoey, I..." Zoey placed her index finger on my lips to keep me from talking further.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat3BSvra91
"I know you feel guilty 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIziv4iOAyo
that you like him because I do too. Don't worry about it, because I know995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nQQxeSQL3
that you wouldn't try to steal him away from me."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb3hUZ2lpa
I gulped. What was I going to tell her now? How was I going to her that G-Dragon liked me and not her?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Cvzulo0y
"Aren't you worried that G-Dragon might just like someone else and not you?" I asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU2nRIeqjK
Zoey shrugged as she was deep in thought. "I haven't thought of it that way. I know that he only has eyes for me."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibhDkZDArX
I wanted to slap my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1knIn58yu
forehead in frustration but I gave Zoey a weird look instead. I couldn't995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDzdJySmlu
blame her when you were blindly in love. But I had to stop this before 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9tL5dKmJH
it gets out of hand.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDS3uMpjKZ
"Zoey, listen to me," I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLaMNxOrbX
said as I looked at her in the eye. "I admit that I like G-Dragon, but 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0dC2Kk39y
not in the way you think. You on the other hand, need to know that...."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHIakwSsdR
I paused. That was odd. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh2B8exrb3
The words were spilling out of my mouth just fine. What's happened now? I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hRwVjtITJ
felt someone had just cast a spell on me and now I was tongue tied.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWivPYyyxh
Zoey looked at me, irritated that I had stopped talking. "What do I need to know?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJCFc1fJXN
What was wrong with me? I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoVYNege4W
had so much confidence when I was talking just now and I still do. But 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAJqURcmyA
now, I couldn't say anything. I opened my mouth to speak, but still 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hEzgCP2uE
nothing came out. Zoey shook her head.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvar9nagzP
"You're weird, Sam," 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVyMQjDcsm
Zoey stood up from my bed and went straight for the bathroom. "When you 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfZk93y2kX
finally have the courage to tell me what you wanted to say, I'll be 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aVX7SaYZI
waiting."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjUH6zFEqO
Zoey closed the door and995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrj7C6BahT
I heard the shower tap turn on. Oh no! I blew it this time and that 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbzXgm0Zyi
just proves that telling her the truth was going to be a whole lot 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX5NPGg2uv
harder than I thought.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsL43nIK3s
At least Zoey knew that I once liked G-Dragon, that's if she really took what I said seriously.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08ktHy4DUi
This was all so messed up and I felt like I was going nuts.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulmmZ8ZxzM
I stood up from my bed 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPt6QZFR9W
and started to pace up and down, thinking. What happened to me a few 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL6kWoKgTB
minutes ago? Why couldn't I tell Zoey the truth? Well, half of it, which995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHPvtAzgqJ
is the most important part.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmeNIGntZi
"It's not your portion to say anything to Zoey. And you know it."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1KCRh8BDH
Whatever my conscious 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93CQ7Rlgnu
was saying inside my head was true. G-Dragon did say that he will end 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr0eUVas2W
things with Zoey and tell her the truth. Was that why I was tongue tied 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEIrwsPJZp
and I couldn't say anything? I had no any other reason as to why.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OwxlIMtUH
If that was the case, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDihqMRCj2
then G-Dragon better do it fast. The earlier it was, the better. Before 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy4e3cjv7R
Zoey really gets too much involved with him or else she would be 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwylpzIsBE
shattered completely.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1f3ojvnDv
While I was trying to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHx8rQ8vV7
figure out what to do next, my phone rang and I went on the bed to reach995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakfF4g5QaT
out for my phone that laid on top of the drawer next to the lamp.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai3rMBQkJz
When I checked the caller ID, I raised an eyebrow. An unknown number. I wonder who it was?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX96YmwZW5b
I answered the call. "Hello?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYicIPoD7TM
"Bonjour, mademoiselle," came a deep husky voice from the phone. The man had a French accent.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg7Da3iWo1
I held my breath. That 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUw05JBl9y
sent a chill down my spine. Who was this? Dang it! I'm supposed to be 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitFP6MTjw7
asking that question, not thinking it.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRbo7z0j1i
I cleared my throat. "Hello? May I know who this is?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUHq68t4sv
The man chuckled. "Who I am isn't important. What matters is that we talk."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7XtqF6ZmC
"Talk? Talk about what?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z2abPWdyE
"Did you check the photo I sent you?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LWzN6GVKP
"Photo? What...?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs3G0jbd9V
I paused when I realised the photo he was talking about. I had completely forgot about it.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ppqEfcAqN
"Oh!" I slapped my forehead. "I never downloaded it to see what it was." I raised an eyebrow. "What's the photo about?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4RGYfq85Z
"If you haven't seen it,995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEbELjB2RU
then it's best you see it for yourself. I can't tell you over the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJVLIkuRyB
phone. When you see it call me or text, will you, sweetheart?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPbUApNfgx
Sweetheart? What was this guy playing at? What was the photo all about?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLOyt8grbR
"Are you trying to blackmail me with the photo?" I asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o2yiwr993
"I wouldn't call it blackmail. But everything would be more interesting if you're involved."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPMHgDTa6f
"If I'm involved? What do you mean?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh5CTXa4ih
I could soon hear the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI2aC30zRE
person hanging up and I growled. I looked at my phone like I wanted to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bwY8moUCg
break it. What was going on today? First, I had G-Dragon and Zoey to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP00ifF9M6h
handle and now, I had this stranger calling me and making things worse.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3WszFkOjJ
I looked back at my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVcjlLy7fc
phone and started to go straight to my messages. I checked the message I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwZvjYYMzw
had received from the unknown man and I realised that I still hadn't 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHakWv9A7Gp
downloaded the picture. I switched on my mobile data and started to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOonfTmbiH
download the photo.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XH89ZeLsE
"Sam! Zoey!" Lee came all of the sudden into the room. She almost scared me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlauTtzRxde
"Goodness, Lee!" I held my chest as my heart beat fast. "There is a thing called knocking, you know?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeoX8JKOnf
"I know, I thought you guys were still asleep."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmAq4dLXqI
"No matter," I said. "We're all awake as you can see."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqf7o5Dcxl
"Okay. Get ready, we have to leave for the studio."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ047X0Qll
I nodded and Lee left. I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7o8eI7h8z
went back to looking at my phone. I frowned. The internet was so slow 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSraQhymWSq
today. The photo hadn't finished downloading yet.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnstzqTE7bo
"I'm done," said Zoey as she came out of the bathroom in her towel. "You go get ready."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jDo8qOeKI
"I just want to see something first," I said as I pointed at my phone.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVUAiP8fHp
Zoey walked up to me, took my phone and threw it on her bed.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQtxjqqx6y
"Zoey!"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjDks1Ms0h
"Not a word, Sam. You're995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedLplFxpm6
always the one telling me to get ready and be punctual, but you don't 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQKqjwvYJL
want anyone telling you anything. Just go take a shower. I wonder what's995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCN5tqmDLv
up with you today."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZhzNJ3AyP
If only she knew. So 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj20d03xEKS
many things were running in my mind that I couldn't seem to focus on one995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHYYnqdU4v
thing because something else would just pop up all of the sudden.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV04TN9w7bo
I went to the bathroom 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDf4xKUJnr
and locked the door behind me. Before I could undress and get into the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW04nAIADrv
shower, I went over to the mirror above the sink and looked at my own 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDEreAq9Lh
reflection.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq5ugUcA0s
I looked like I hadn't 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2VwxATivF
had sleep in days with all the dark circles underneath my eyes. I was 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgScEmssSa
deeply troubled, that's for sure. My problems just got increased by one 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD4ZggssNW
if not by two.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxThGAGrXO
G-Dragon and Zoey were 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3HJY1TrxD
my main problem to tackle today. And all of the sudden, an unknown 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UCy19YDDU
stranger calls and tells me about the photo which I had no idea or clue 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPay3dYN3t4
about. And why he sent it to me was the most confusing part. If he 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRFtixCKCL
wasn't blackmailing me, then what was this charade about?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3yAN7Dsfo
After I took a quick 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzJcUdkls1
shower, I quickly went back in the room and I went straight for my phone995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ8R2XBdN7
on Zoey's bed. Zoey had already dressed up and she went past me into 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HbCHw3wCt
the bathroom to get her makeup done.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4WHbOkyjd
I unlocked my phone. I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3HrQchale
was pretty anxious about the photo that even my hands were shaking. The 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIXH2TWgwH
photo must be done downloading by now.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAQX4xFdvf
Just as I unlocked the phone, it vibrated. Someone was calling me. Oh no! What now?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCZEwkMY6i
Seungri was calling. What could he probably want to talk to me about this early in the morning?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2FlX0NOwe
"Hello, Seungri?" I answered.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOGYsmjYUs
"Morning, my panda," said Seungri.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVtPcX3lg0
"Morning. How was your night?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrcXn5wtwJ
"My night was perfect, since I dreamt of you."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMJARM9Euh
If I was myself, I would have blushed by those words. But now, I was as confused as ever and I didn't know what to say next.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4jhMgf1yX
"Oh, wow," I said, trying to act a little surprised. I hope he bought it.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpuNuuaCIn
"I've a little something I want to give you when you get to YG."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HNSTSvGij
I smiled a little. At 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexfXNCAzef
least out of all that was going on, Seungri managed to make me smile, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5g6aSq43F
which was quiet peculiar because he didn't say anything funny. I was 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8wGuqqqI2
already imagining another huge stuffed panda waiting for me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCI27L0rw3
"Can't wait," I said with a little laugh. "See you."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClnwdKHvMr
"You too."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpHoThghuA
He cut the line and I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGMAQfXIdk
threw my phone on the bed. I decided to dress up first and have my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi4mdqv4Xz
breakfast, before Zoey came back in the room and start to pressurise me 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9k4ZLQ6fo
again. I had already pissed her enough this morning.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthGPgAzLED
After I dressed up and 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7grIWwQyp
Zoey had left for breakfast, I went in the bathroom to get my hair done 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMuTEDGoiJ
and applied a bit of makeup to hide my dark circles. When I was done, I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSysr7uVX4s
went back in the room and without a thought of making my bed, which I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrcmBTb9Kt
always did, I wore my black pumps, grabbed my phone and went out of the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstXGdWAXsW
room.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuJAHvdaDk
Just as I got into the lounge, I made a bee line to the dining table. Everyone was at the table eating their breakfast.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTx2w3kOQb
"Someone isn't themselves this morning," said Collins as he watched me approach the dining table.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7EnKxShYP
I knew he was talking about how late I was today. I was usually the earliest to be at the dining table.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XTyBQ3VuB
"Sorry," I said as sat down next to Lee. "I was pretty bummed up, that's why."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnqyBpBxEU
"No pressure, just eat up, we have a lot of work to do today."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN213Gaiefu
There was a variety of breakfast options today and I decided to take some cereal, which I haven't had in a while.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIMStnEqTH
As I got the box of cereal and poured the contents in the bowl in front of me, I couldn't help feel all eyes were on me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LfagdJKkF
I looked up and just as I had guessed it, all eyes were definitely on me. What had I done now? I put the box of cereal down.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVmtkia9BR
I looked at everyone at the table and when they didn't say a word, I shrugged my shoulders.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOOca33O8B
"What?" I asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsaxmpFkII
Mike who sat opposite me cleared his throat. "You're eating cereal."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC7YjqXdTC
I frowned. "So?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqJklscyGF
"But there is bacon and eggs with toast," said Daniel.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pDoSIBq6o
I was still confused. "So?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwz2cyZ0pC
"You usually don't eat cereal when there is bacon, eggs and toast," said Collins.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZr7bIX5dA
"And cereal is kind of like my thing," said Daniel.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxtBln75lk
I don't know if I just hit my head or I had now landed in Crazy Town. What was wrong with just having cereal for a change?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybxUF71bE3
"I don't see the harm in995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBmomfkPWr
eating cereal. I have oatmeal whenever I feel like it and that's still 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVTROxRq9u
cereal," I said. "I just wanted something different for a change. Is 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wGxAQVDQG
that wrong?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9vpiJv4ot
Everyone else looked at each other and then they looked back at me, shaking their heads.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OImDLDkqK
"Thank you," I said as I got a jug of milk and poured into the bowl. "I haven't had sweet cereal in a while and I miss it."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizNmcY1Hd7
"I can see that," said 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQhCzm1ZpG
Zoey as she drank from her cup of coffee. I knew she was making fun of 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHPNqBC5zj
me but I decided not to say anything.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG94gK1fy7F
When we were done with 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7cTE2DqyX
breakfast, we headed downstairs in the lobby and the black SUV was 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqDsZiiCxQ
waiting for us as usual. When we got in, I made sure to take the back 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotFY7kPdS2
seat with my brothers next to the window so that I would avoid people 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwKY0LFMa4
looking at my phone.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCKMBfom18
When everyone in the car995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFzK0nhjhT
was engrossed in some conversation that I had no interest in joining in995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKGHhNPqYk
or listening to, I decided to check my phone. The photo was done 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIPErRmUvE
downloading and what I saw made my mouth drop and my eyes pop.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweRy3zxe6c
"What's wrong, Sam?" Mike who sat next to me asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt94jqI16Xo
I quickly pressed the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJdFmlXcS3
power button on the side of the phone and blacked the screen. Mike was 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNyiOotocj
already leaning onto my side to see what was on my phone.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJhFO96qmJ
"Nothing, just some scary video," I said.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86A1kINbeE
"May I see?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwiZVOmd0a
"No. You won't be sleeping for the next two days."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCa3ZBEqhn
"I've watched horror movies before. I can handle a little scare."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLxia4N6FD
"No can do, bro," I said as I put my phone into my purse that I had decided to carry with me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOex93ezQI6
Mike leaned back and folded his arms. "Whatever."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjmqKXKMHi
I wish I could tell him 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjWVDfUsuH
and everyone else what was going on. But at the moment, I felt like 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4krpnOvOwm
keeping everything to myself, not after what I had seen.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ciCCEM4Z0
Now that I had seen the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjDn8o1PcU
photo, I had to meet up with the stranger and talk about all this. But 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKFPlrsdJH
where to meet the person and when was going to be a hustle. It was 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDwrkvFhXh
pretty obvious that I had to meet him alone.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVbafBb7Fw
Speaking of which, I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A12k5QYPD
still had to convince G-Dragon about telling Zoey the truth. Now how was995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1YabijvfK
I going to do that given the little time I had in my hands? We had a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgH0oDbe3m
music video to prepare for and we had to start working on the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuoTZuqu8I
choreography today. This was hectic. And I knew that if I was pushed 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8jt8KFtq7
further onto the edge, I would burst.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtcNlsVafZ
Time seemed so short, given that I was thinking of ways to do things today. The next thing I knew, we had finally arrived at YG.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAV0JE1MH4
My heart skipped a beat.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ok2gX53KZ
I swallowed. This was it. G-Dragon was probably with the others waiting995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIKij9d75U
for us inside. For a moment, I didn't want to go in. But I had no 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDox8havzA
choice.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dkc19lyHp
As soon as I stepped out995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmgAV1KwpL
of the vehicle, I took a deep breath as I looked at the entrance. I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KL97S5dM3
felt like I was about to walk into hell and that frightened me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9ZHRBBUj0
"Are you okay, Sam?" Christine asked as she came to stand in front of me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE68Ihc81Tf
"I'm fine," I said. "I just realised that I haven't really thought of any ideas for the music video."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmWkDnHVsZ
"You're aren't the only 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDtCgXMH1n
one," Christine said with a smile. "Let's just hope our minds will get 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfmQLWk4wt
to work on that when we get in there."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcggNrazkhN
I managed to put up a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xzWwC3ER0
smile, but I knew my mind wasn't going to be on full throttle today. How995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthQXxs0pcb
I wish this wasn't happening to me right now.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNGlx8R0Y1
As I came into the lobby995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRbWTN9do1
with Christine, we found Collins talking to the receptionist. The rest 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjidzp8eoJ
were heading towards the elevator and we joined them.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY4zA5Tdhc
"You will be going up to the dance studio," Collins said as he turned to us. "The others are waiting for you there."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUrR6QxUYD
"Okay," the others responded. I for one felt really jumpy at the moment.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5da1eaPSj
We all got in the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLPzYStmLp
elevator and Mike was busy talking about some dance moves he had come up995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbN3MYoAf9
with and I wasn't really paying attention though I did get one or two 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOft2RyINQ
things.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaUxdHeob0
We got to the dance 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3zdW5hiOI
studio while Lee and Collins decided to go upstairs to meet with Yang 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKZTXU1w0D
Hyun-suk. We checked a few dance studios before we finally found them.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixnjan3LIm
"Hey, guys!" Zoey greeted so enthusiastically as we came in the room.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyiu5cMB1V
I was too lost in 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSb8VTkVrO
thought to even reply to the other's greetings until Seungri came up to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBmFRZ4rLf
me and hugged me. That brought me right back down to earth.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow3Ra1scTi
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Seungri asked, still hugging me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8uuhtMHWI
"I'm fine," I said, as I pulled myself away.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AdoR2HsRR
"If I know you well, you look pretty occupied in that head of yours," said TOP as he walked up to us.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV64cC3oRe
"Tell me about it," said995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JEqKUwF7z
Zoey as she was now on the floor with Daesung standing right beside her995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DarehakDS
and she was removing her shoes. "She's been weird all morning."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyJSKL8HSH
"How weird?" Taeyang asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuweJZ3nWE
"Too weird," said Daniel.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZaN2hCqXd
"Cut me some slack, guys," I said. I looked at Taeyang. "They are just saying nonsense."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rJCyCGevB
"Says the person who was so late to wake up today," said Zoey.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirIxBgUoc1
"And ate sweet cereal for breakfast instead of bacon, eggs and toast," said Christine.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBgFqxkEHz
"And refused to give me her phone to check out what she was watching," said Mike.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7QK6Gcqdg
I shrugged. "So? And Mike, seriously? Just over a phone?" I shook my head at my brother.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BuQca3aOj
"It's not like you, Sam," said Daniel. "That's all we are trying to say."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI4RjQbggE
I rubbed my forehead. "Look, guys, I'm just a little bummed out because of yesterday. Is that so wrong?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDDazaNhIj
"No, I think something is bothering you," said Zoey, still on the floor.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iW3N0LPpQ
"I'm fine. Trust me. My mind is pretty tired."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlRf7J2Xlp
"Come on, guys, let's not stress her out because of this," said Daesung. "If she says she is tired, then she is."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh41KXBlLkG
Zoey slapped Daesung's leg with her hand and Daesung looked down at her. "Don't try to defend her."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQGrSjEqn7
"I'm not."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBIXFBzgNo
Zoey snickered at him and I knew why. She still remembered the little incident yesterday with Daesung and me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflKVBMtWky
"Where is G-Dragon?" Daniel asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAijvr0xSkZ
I looked around the room and I noticed that GD was the only group member who wasn't here.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ595VcYJLR0
"He went to get the choreographer," TOP answered.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWyTeywCv0
"Now, Sam, about your little problem...." said Mike, turning to face me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD3m1FDZp1
"Not now, Mike," I said as I folded my arms. "You can attack me later, just not now."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtGdtxeQpE
"Not to worry, my little kitty," said Seungri who stood right behind me. "Maybe this will cheer you up."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uqgOTQwlt
Before I could turn 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVz6Mxa6Kp
around to ask what he meant, I felt something settle at the top of my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKovlW0bPzt
head. My hand reached up for whatever it was.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX86T119fZ4
"A lovely crown for the lovely queen of k-pop," said Seungri.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpYzA70iGL
I took the crown from 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweUNfEJpiU
the top of my head to look at it. It looked more like a tiara but it was995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrYOFAYPS1
big enough to be called a crown. It was silver and studded around with 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMciPLz0nAO
what looked like real diamonds. Perched in the middle surrounded by 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJqItRtASR
diamonds was a sapphire stone in an oval shape.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb8AU2XV1F
"Wait, are these real diamonds?" I asked as I turned to look at Seungri with a surprised look on my face.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiM5V9ZgSz
"It is," said Seungri 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJZZdbvBQF
with a huge smile on his face. "And I know how much you value sapphire 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGNupJxA6I
stones because it's your birth stone."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXMNloev6i
"Aww! Thank you so much,995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1aZKnHKtF
Seungri!" I gave him a hug and I couldn't stop smiling. Somehow, I knew995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxslCROGR1
he was going to brighten up my day today.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMcIHC1z9e
"So pretty, let me see," said Christine, as she came and took the crown from my hand. "Wow!"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeVKWNY7aA
"I want to wear it," 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBEEU7Xlzx
said Zoey as she got up from the floor and rushed to look at the crown. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZuAewMajj
Christine put the crown on Zoey's head.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUdA475Kkc
"Don't I look like a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kdioQLZOK
true queen?" Zoey asked as she looked at her reflection through the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrklXVWwc6
studio mirrors that lined up the walls of the room.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsu8NkekmM
"You look like that evil witch in those fairy tale fantasy movies," said Mike.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc8lO7TVl1
"Haha, very funny," Zoey said as she turned to look at Mike.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNQEt8R0vh
"When did you even have the time to get it done, Seungri?" I asked, still a little surprised.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ137gtVxX7F
"I have my way of doing things just to impress you," said Seungri with a corky smile.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc7f73Jub4
"Thank you. You don't know how much you just made me smile."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRPkyqM75K
"It can clearly show on your face." Seungri softly pinched my cheek and I blushed.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PsuPY8z9h
"I should get my own crown," said Christine who also wore the crown and was looking at herself in the mirror.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEpLdtWv84
"May her royal majesty 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVK16ZVBQB
get her crown back?" Taeyang asked as he came behind Christine and took 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6stKrKnnY1
the crown from her head. He came up to me and put the crown on my head.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyzf7c3FXZ
"Oh, hail the queen!" Taeyang chanted and I broke into a laugh, playfully hitting him on the shoulder.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gI6N3oUkB
"Stop it, will you? You're making me blush," I said, trying to cover my laugh with my hand.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQgDn8Ks4P
"You look just like a real queen, Sam," said TOP.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEFtpNtcB8
"Thanks." I was still blushing like crazy.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI0b9I0Sm4
"Let me take a photo," said Daesung, pulling out his phone.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbNlKURkBr
"Ya. The whole world should see the queen of k-pop," said Zoey.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllboIezEi1
"Are you really calling me that?" I asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkBRlWfdbE
"We did win last night, didn't we?" Zoey asked. "Of course I'm calling you that."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm5FT4Utc9
I rolled my eyes. "I wasn't really taking it that seriously. It was nothing but a game."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yKYWO5ie1
"A game we won. Cheer up. We are all kings and queens with you."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBL4PxZ27k
I looked on at Zoey trying to smile as best as I could, but somehow I couldn't.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGP5W2HNri
She couldn't tell the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotDzFCcHar
look on my face because she didn't even ask. Daesung went ahead and took995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IEmnhBP8H
pictures of me, and then we huddled together as a group to take a group995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadqZnSikNG
photo with me in the middle.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZAfNpxKs0
"Hey, what's going on here?" G-Dragon asked as he came in the room.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m9WjDFcOO
"Taking photos with the queen," said Daniel.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeHNgZ1YtA
"The queen?" G-Dragon looked confused until he saw the crown on top of my head. "Oh..."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHKyNwErp4
"It's pretty, isn't it?" Zoey asked. "You should also get me one."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Jucu5Yfu5
"I can make a gold one if you want," said G-Dragon.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcITOkcwsr8
Zoey smiled. "Even better."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9MikOveSX
G-Dragon turned to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi3SI05fj2
Taeyang. "The choreographer is going to be here any moment now. So I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9gQVT0VqZ
suggest we bring out your ideas if you have any. We can start without 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9ZJUheGaM
him and he will find us."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2toFYMLgZ
"Mike told me over the phone earlier that he had some brand ideas," said Taeyang.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXsNI5upox
"Ya, I do," said Mike. "You guys just watch. I have the song in my phone so I'll play it from there."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4fXHycHIb
We all stood on one side995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFusw6TswCo
of the room while Mike took off his jacket and got his phone to search 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuI4F5bUgM
for the track. He gave Daniel to hold the phone and when he positioned 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjw55Ehvm7
himself in the middle of the room and turned to look at us.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv29kpLpjH
"So, I was thinking, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS83GQpFheJ
since G-Dragon and Zoey start the first verse, they should open up the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRzrcHtbXC
dance floor. So, I need someone to act as Zoey so that I could show you 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO80c59LlGX
guys."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBEmqDC7bF
Christine came forward 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrt6mXElUm
and Mike gave her a few instructions on what to do. She nodded her head 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lQdDUvexn
and Mike told Daniel to press the play button on cue.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ15re85pW2
With Christine and Mike 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcwAJ1DAQ2
each facing opposite directions with their backs touching, the music 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIKzP5EFeK
started to play. Still not looking at each other, the two started the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwlgURsk0T
dance with each of them taking a step forward, breaking the contact 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBVG7xDixO
between them and then like a powerful force pulling them, they dragged 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjDlcdta2N
themselves back and they again their backs touched.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtUa8B4kHX
With a bit of skilful 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4xQh3tnWS
footwork, they turned to face each other and with their hands, they drew995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyqtv4ksao
closer and then skidded away from each other with their hands in the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJlpoCcCBt
air.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G9Fy1seUN
"Then you guys will come in through the middle then make a formation in front."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGeLQv3LaC
"That's pretty awesome," said Taeyang.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOydNpHt3rF
"Very smart," said G-Dragon.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgMjKIKDHF
"Let's practise that," said Zoey taking G-Dragon's hand and taking him in the middle of the dance floor.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Z8ggWdkh
"I'll take you through the moves," said Mike as he faced them.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDvUXUFf6y
"Your brother is a total genius, isn't he?" TOP asked as he stood next to me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YPFn9fgao
"Ya, he is," I said with a smile.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3Y6B24J6r
The door soon opened and995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlsT0yhLVT
the person who I guessed was our choreographer walked in. We stopped 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzBbxbCD4b
what we were doing and bowed as he came further in the room.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNf6eT1xQq
"So, I see you guys are already getting started," said the choreographer.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07XTH5iAux
"Yes, we are," said Seungri.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIjnTyt7O5
"Okay, let me see what you have done so far."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAftcTi1Rk
Mike and Christine 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx99yU9Uy00
stepped forward and the music playing on Mikes phone, they did the dance995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JiRlc0gGf
routine. After their hands broke apart, Mike explained how the rest of 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKiNcJzmI6
us will come in the scene.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxnh5CH8SK
"Mmmm," the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5nQei4M8c
choreographer looked on at Mike as he tapped his chin. For a moment I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcB15xxGTC
thought he was going to say something bad, but he didn't.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcMDzca524
"I like it," said the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIJ44VmhSY
choreographer. "So far, the starting part is brilliant. I wouldn't have 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQO0dSsSFY
thought of anything better. Now let's see if Zoey and G-Dragon could 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaA70gzw1P
quickly work on their moves then we will come to the part when everyone 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CdruhxCGH
comes in."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43yDevBMQm
Zoey and G-Dragon took 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLkFT7wp75
to the center and with Mike telling and showing them what to do, they 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gqf6xjMHZ
did so accordingly. After a few tries, they got the hang of it and they 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBcpt4Vcxr
were perfect.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuXyEyiKyU
"Excellent," said the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8C3cLHfsc
choreographer as he stood in front of us. "Now, when they break apart, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZwkQiHasj
that's when the rest of you guys come in through the space in between 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFT8kZTY44
them like a doorway. We will come in a straight line and then make a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zpSMk7hsm
formation in front of them."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HI6SpMvby
We did as the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj0XkRCRzF
choreographer said and the next hour, we were practising our hearts out 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT2OaplNWq
for the music video. We made a few mistakes here and there, but we got 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNt5z7a3uj
the hang of it.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLoJak0IJ5
A few minutes later, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HOtp5QVyg
most of us were splayed on the floor after the choreographer announced 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa867v3kT1W
that we can take a break with some of us with our backs on the floor and995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8h9xdyn1Q
staring at the ceiling. Others were seated.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLTBfGhnQd
"This is why I hate dancing," said TOP, laying opposite me staring at the ceiling.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKrIlnbbe8
I laughed, also staring 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR5LijfjgV
at the ceiling. "I love dancing. It just makes you forget about all your995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl3MO78qNI
problems for a while. It's kind of like sleeping."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWpb5SHliG
"Ya, true," said Christine who also had her back on the floor and laid a few feet away from me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDIMRlw4oA
Speaking of problems, I completely forgot about that French guy.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cW141bkYS
I quickly scrambled up 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy4cN6NXdV
from the floor passing Mike and Taeyang who were seated on the floor and995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu8mRV2B4J
still talking about the dance moves. I went to the corner of the room 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdSvlTmc76
where we had piled up our shoes and phones and my crown. I got my purse 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkprQSf7Ucm
and removed my phone.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxSojBVy0b
I sent a message to the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ4ANE0SIp
stranger telling him that I had already seen the photo. Thinking that he995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7xJ8WLdVa
would reply later on, he repiled in an instant. That was fast. I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriHbn5zCVJ
imagined he had been waiting for me to either call or text.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoSDtFGg5O
"Good. We should meet."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zrNbn3Is6
Was this guy serious right now? I was really busy and meeting him didn't sound like a good idea. I texted back.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UFGpQ1uV0
"I can't see you today. I'm kind of busy."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsJWqzwdDh
"But this is a very important issue, Sam."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFOY4nrLAn
Great. He was calling me by name now? How I wished I knew his.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2F6XOyc54
I texted, "what happens if I don't meet with you today?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLBjvdj5qz
"You're one smart 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0E6dynfAm
girl. I don't have to explain because you know what will happen when the995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznTkLngT2P
whole world sees this. It's today or never. And never comes with 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgf16HZNso
consequences."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokyPwvSbDR
I growled. This guy had put me in a tight corner and I couldn't refuse.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIn5tuUX79
"Fine. I'll tell you when to meet when I'm done."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuSiYUkcXu
"That's my girl."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszR3nZXHN9
I wanted to throw up. I bet this guy was way older than me and him calling me his girl made me nauseous.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GznewuzaV
As I tucked my phone 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9vQrf6II7
back into my purse, I looked up and everyone was still resting. Luckily 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEydksR6IeM
their eyes weren't on me. I went to lay back down with TOP when I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV87jCrZy8O
realised that Mike and Taeyang weren't the only ones engrossed in their 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaqh1jmZ2l
own conversation. G-Dragon and Zoey were too.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf9OyJ37Ok
I looked at them and unlike the others, they were whispering. I wondered what they were talking about in secret.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5NNkM7tkz
When they both turned to995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWhH27mcb9
look at me, they quickly looked away again. My face turned pale. Oh, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQn1WH5EQf
no. Were they talking about me? Their look sent me weird vibes and I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCKCZwkW6D
couldn't help but feel that they were.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEdqkWVw7R
I laid back down 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja7zXV9W75
pretending that all was alright. I stared up the ceiling as I thought. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27kRrL98EP
Could it be that Zoey was telling G-Dragon about the conversation the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD4BBfCYjR
two of us had in our room this morning?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KOg9aUGKM
Yikes! If she did, then I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBSDvawUmY
had just made a bigger mess for myself, again. If I'm right, (hoping 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ2qYVscpa
that I'm wrong) G-Dragon wouldn't like this at all. We agreed that he 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0IZQZBudK
would tell Zoey everything. And just a few hours ago, I had almost told 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJapV2W28c
her the whole truth. So much for trying to be honest.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqRVV4tiqR
Still in my own thoughts, the door to the studio opened. Collins, Lee and Yang Hyun-suk came in.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4umcDLzTi
"I see you guys are bummed out," said Collins with a smirk on his face as he looked at each of us.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIhfVMaUbg
"Ya, we are," said Seungri, his back also on the floor.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8Jz2Eg9Ry
"Okay, guys, sit up, we have something to tell you," said Yang Hyun-suk.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHuU6Rfcnm
Most of us who were on lying on the floor sat up and looked on intently at our managers and Lee.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97pneEUyJf
"We came up with where we will be shooting the music video," said Yang Hyun-suk.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpCRRsqJJG
"Where?" Christine and Daesung asked at the same time.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OiQMpu54e
"Caribbean Bay," answered Collins.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wbo04sW7L
"Caribbean Bay?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KbN4FIJFo
"It's not the only place we would be shooting the video," said Lee, tilting her head at me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvRCcg16hZ
"But it would be more likely that we would shoot it at Caribbean Bay?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PolDKrCuk
"That's right," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Do you think it's a bad idea?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaMLJUhN8X
"No. It sounds great."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWWJ73mzYr
"Well, the song is based on fun," said Zoey. "And we did have fun there."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHAJaSZoNc
"Well, not for some of us who ended up playing cop," I said, replaying in my mind what a hectic time I had that day.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eQwUBSt5o
"Haha, that was fun," said Daniel, staring off into space with a smile.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZImLXrGIn
"So, you finish up the choreography today and then we can start shooting the video on Monday."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwpskdWHjV
"But can't we meet tomorrow?" I asked. "You know, to perfect the dance and all?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWxngJJKIU
"I don't think people will like to meet on a Sunday," said Collins.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡploGvIvGWp
"True," said Taeyang.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAAuVT6iHR
"Okay," I said, feeling a995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5rsOQr2x9
little disappointed. That meant we had to finish up and perfect the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL7FbptLMd
dance routine today. And I don't know what time we will be done.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQeNsmb61T
"Okay, we'll leave you guys," said Yang Hyun-suk.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiSYVLuPWh
After the three had 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9uaDHDxiT
left, we went back to what we were doing, waiting for the choreographer 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCzVj5Ryu8
to show up because he was coming in with some backup dancers.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcMihkG9wa
While we waited, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkKNkZmSR7
G-Dragon came over to me, his head hovered over my sight as I still laid995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXWqXwc77k
down on the floor. I looked up at this face and couldn't make up the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV79GVYLU79
expression on his face.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fi2qdhS6Y
"Sam, we need to talk," he said, as he looked down on me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2utBQ5E9G
He sounded serious and I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FfymCZZZk
couldn't say no. I tried not to show that I was scared but I could feel995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahLR6YIZWH
my body tremble. All I did was nod my head.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau9663mzet
"Let's talk outside," he said and he went ahead of me out of the room.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Z1INiaj6
I got up from the floor 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfAOwTp1Er
and I realised that everyone was looking at me now, obviously wondering 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPstFnt8wu
what was going on. I ignored them and none of them asked anything as I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY40PQylNa
stood up from the floor and walked out of the room.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWAImdKAqJ
I found G-Dragon three 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf9VpTju8w
doors down the hall, obviously trying to avoid anyone from listening to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl06B50rL1d
our conversation. I quickly walked up to him with his back facing me. I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfnJ8KOhM3
stopped a few feet away from him taking extra precaution not to be too 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh0EOT842F
close.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvUHfUY028
"I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" I asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5mpM9PkGO
G-Dragon turned to look at me and I could see he was upset. It was good that I wasn't that close to him in the first place.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6SssA1xfS
"It's about Zoey," he said.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVoyqFUlMh
I gulped. "Zoey must have told you what happened this morning, didn't she?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHW0rrHAXe
"She did," he said as he nodded his head. "What's up with you lately? Didn't we agree that I would tell her everything?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpAsnqwGRX
"Sorry, I just.... I couldn't keep lying anymore."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPWSMVIQAD
"Really? That's all you can say?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuMXC3j3vP
"Well, it's the truth. And besides, I never told her that you liked me, because I couldn't bring myself to."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XMooRlyHo
"But you almost had."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYtRDEneJi
"Yet I couldn't."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmJa73gk9a
"Zoey is right. You're 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2vplwZaRP
been acting really weird today. Weird enough to tell her the truth when 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNcq5WXsdD
you know I was supposed to do it."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xyWrVwj8u
"Well, you were taking too much time and I couldn't help myself seeing the way how angry you were yesterday and now."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h1PHrrdMQ
"And so telling the truth would help solve my anger issue? Or are you jealous of Zoey because she is happy with me?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K5NHl71mP
I paused before I could say, "what?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKsfa27NhA
"You heard me loud and 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgvHyUX3iA
clear, Sam. As though kissing Daesung wasn't enough, you're now trying 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzy4WHviVR
to take matters into your own hands."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6bFlLcko4
Oh no. He knew Daesung and I kissed. I wonder how he found out because I didn't tell anyone about it. Not even Zoey.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMPTh0oVh5
"Wait, that's not true," I said.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wOPMB2FZw
"Which one? You kissing Daesung or taking matters into your hands?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK15OvRxEB
I now realised that I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW8qAofOX4
was stuck. This time I couldn't tell if he was sure that I had kissed 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOp2NNsAaA
Daesung or he was trying to test me to see what I would say to prove his995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz55OJsGWM6
assumption right. But there was no point in hiding now. The truth was 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwRLlVcEIk
bound to come up sooner rather than later.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvFf14wsen
"Aren't you going to answer? Which one of the two?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzG1vlUjWx
I sighed. "You're being ridiculous, GD."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7YOfJsOOv
"But I'm not and you know it." He took a step closer. "Now answer the question. Which one?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWwjckXupW
"If you want to hear it, then fine. I did kiss Daesung but it's not what you think."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFjmR9Y1c8
G-Dragon took a step 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5iqMqlT8c
back. "I knew it. You tell me you want nothing to do with me and then 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRqVjAa7c3
you kiss my best friend who is like a brother to me!"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFUKaLI2rX
"You wanted the truth, didn't you? You got one! But backstabbing you wasn't what happened."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr5V7mbWnw
"Then what did happen?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdqmqw6kwN
"All of this is nothing 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBKqeeUHyk
but a misunderstanding. I never went back on my word. Things just 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46TQn5avOr
happened that I myself couldn't control."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yn4SfqaTo
"Don't lie to me, Sam."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurwQ5qIjfp
"You know what, I'm 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dqJ3AqGh5
trying my best here to try and tell you the truth but you're acting like995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKEDuKnDrk
a deaf person blocking my words out. I knew from the very beginning 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV34THNuW6
that I could never be with you nor with Daesung and I have accepted it. I995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Cd87ElFcx
talked about that with him yesterday. That's why he kissed me."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHkEtXkFiL
G-Dragon shook his head. "So you're saying that he kissed you and not that you kissed him?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAwfWAFoB6
"Yes. But I know you 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ypuo0Dp1U
won't believe me. Unlike you, at least Daesung realised and accepted it 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVr5vQkWEk
for himself that he and I could never be together."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QIDSTxcI8
I looked at G-Dragon and I knew I hit the spot. I just hope that what I said would make him understand.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DTSkISZx9
"The sooner you accept all this, the better it would be for all of us," I said.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYvDjO9jnF
I turned around to head 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo70skFt6qQ
back for the studio. As I walked away, I realised that I wasn't upset or995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGI86qzceI
angry. I was frustrated and my problems were far from over.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLSgkzzBgh
When I came back in the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr1i5bnANH
studio, all eyes were on me as soon as I walked in. I could tell on 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAVrr8e0Wb
their faces that they had heard the entire conversation.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrigIpIsRUm
"Sam, are you okay?" Taeyang asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWu6fiwzkZ
I didn't want to beat around the brush. "No. I'm not."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquFFdcN6lf
I came in further into the room and sat down on the floor, not looking at the others.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLalgOqhsxQ
"You and G-Dragon were arguing," said Zoey as she came to sit down beside me. "Would like to talk about it?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FRexZ7giw
I looked at Zoey. "I'm certainly not the one to tell you what's going on."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD2pCWvmvG
I went back to looking at the floor. My chin rested on my knees and I hugged myself, lost in thought.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOtoVU6RCi
I heard the door open 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSSJyK42bk
behind me and I knew G-Dragon had come into the room. At the corner of 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ3AuynhOh
my eye, I could see Zoey turn towards the door.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eblpiNNQJ
"Care to explain to us what's going on?" Mike asked G-Dragon. "You two argued and we could hear you guys down the hall."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDniEbyipL
"It's nothing," I heard G-Dragon say.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj6DsF4Ueu
"It's nothing? Looking at both of your faces, something did happen," said TOP.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk3Pj9Zp2E
"Look guys," I said as 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzrCBJDiTR
quickly stood up from the floor and turned to face them. "Tell me if I'm995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCMYiZrKui
wrong, but you guys heard the entire conversation, right?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPQxwqZcAP
No one said anything and they had guilty looks on their faces. That settled it.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnros6z1nlz
"I'm sorry you had to hear all that," I said as I scratched my head. "We shouldn't have been so loud."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW1opoW8zo
"Why didn't you two tell us all this before?" Seungri asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8unWwONw19
I didn't say anything 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeEwtTb7rx
and neither did G-Dragon. We looked at each other and then at the others995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7y0b22oCq
who were waiting for either of us to say something.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAO9NzlJnl
Before anyone could 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmSnB08zc8
break the silence, the door to the studio opened and the choreographer 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH0JV39GVs
came in with some backup dancers and pretending like nothing happened, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX2w1dDSdU
we went back to practising.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZezGwjaps
I don't know how I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm32KqaEW8h
managed to go through the entire dance session without making a mistake.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi3bXJtOv8
Not after what happened some minutes ago. Now that everyone knows 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJavWP8PRUS
what's been going on between G-Dragon and I, it was supposed to affect 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFN99GLKzD
me in some way but it didn't. I felt bad, but right now I had to keep my995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2HGTkpHjX
head in the real world and not mess things up.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ7MJQLJ9Y
It was lunch time and 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX1SGNOul3
again we took a break. We were almost done with the dance routine but I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfoYeqKlPt
was so tired, I wondered if I would be able to meet up with the unknown 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTphYetIoJ
stranger.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5lnJNSJD4
Now that we were on a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpVtrfNhTP
break, no one said anything to each other even after the choreographer 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktbdH7umwL
left with the backup dancers. As much as I would have loved to say 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmQEd18mbt
something to the others concerning the argument, I couldn't. It was just995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6cqgdAnPZ
too awkward for me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZjXhBgk6y
Zoey cleared her throat first. "Mmmm, so are we going to talk about this or are we going to have lunch?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIy5hpIIGF
I looked at Zoey. "You and G-Dragon have a lot to talk about." I then turned to face G-Dragon.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhqpZ98LIr
"Sam's right, Zoey," said G-Dragon.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPpaDUcJ1c
Zoey looked a little downcast as though she knew to expect the worst.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRUZ6A3PMD
"Well, you guys can talk if you want," said Seungri, "but I'm hungry."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWHx2XVCCv
"Ya, me too," said Daniel.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB7RT08sdu
"We can order a pizza," said Christine.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolq44meKWG
"Good idea," said Taeyang.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCFAQcROTn
As though they couldn't 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6hlMoKi9v
stay in the room any longer, the others walked out, leaving Zoey, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx2lCFghOT
G-Dragon and I in the room. I couldn't blame them. There was too much 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMiu83XOZ9
tension going on and I couldn't help to think it was entirely my fault.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXgNrs3weo
A few seconds later, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh91vO4pnJC
when I knew that the others had gone, I also left the room with my purse995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgWmP15bwU
and crown without saying a word. Zoey and G-Dragon had a lot of talking995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8zTq6D7cY
to do and I would come back for that later. And while the others had 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV3JxFnafj
plans for lunch, I had other plans of my own.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdi9wXAmkE
As I walked down the empty hall, I called Lee and she picked up immediately.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSP3sGuqd7
"Hey, Sam, why are you calling?" Lee asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cmmO2GjnZ
"A lot has happened 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoRm0queg9
today that I need to tell you, Lee," I said, keeping my voice down in 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7W4aoFA1Y
case there were any people snooping around.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjnYSARUNO
"What? What's happened?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kxLwpzTIG
"Everyone now knows the truth about G-Dragon and I. They heard us arguing."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAwnf1fkvF
I could hear Lee gasp and I pictured her ready to drop and faint. "For real? Oh, gosh, this is bad."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qxuWZxsJk
"That's not the worst 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBxB8umRAh
part," I said as I found myself at the end of the hall going down a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3diQ2hxTY
flight of stairs. "A weird guy called me today and I need to meet him."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSKIN31QYa
"Huh? What for? Who is this guy?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVAY0QWb7f
"Like I said, he is 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22SHdzOOob
weird. Something bad came up and if I don't meet him soon, a lot of us 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0naTcvEcxU
are going to be toast especially with the press."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF6XoTnP6n
"Is he blackmailing you or something?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvFr944Asa
"I'm not sure if I can 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwonmtvtZR
call it that. But if I'm affected too, then it kind of looks that way. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QxqIcnWbD
Do me a favour and meet me at the back of the building."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxlvR45s7I
Lee paused. "Why? You aren't going to meet him, are you?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQP4jXFtyo
"I've no choice and I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuEwNC6xzf
would better do it now because we are going to be here for a while until995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2gAEIppF9
we are done with the dance routine. Bring me a pair of sunglasses, a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj69pBIEFy
cap and a scarf."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AU8vLNFBd
"What will you need that for?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRF8aYehNd
"Trust me," I said as stopped on the stairs. I wasn't too sure which floor I was on at the moment.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE8LcL7zdb
"Okay, fine. I'll see where I can get those."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezqAAcZDZq
"Thanks, Lee. Don't tell anyone."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJJpVOPoEt
I cut the call and this 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYqy9zCHgo
time, I ran down the stairs with a new found energy. I was tired from 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAPmnSTNrU
all the dancing but I had some reasonable ounce of energy left in me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdC06JCPHf
I reached the bottom of 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLD6iZOhW7
the steps. I had reached the ground floor. There was a passage behind 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtNEB5I1Yr
the stairs which lead to a door. The back door, I presume. And in front 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYGo3WK8Dn
of me was a short passage which lead to the lobby. I could hear a few 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBlkuQajm7
voices that I could recognise.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNvhw2NDZL
I went over to look, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H7nwopCQg
making sure I had my back against the wall. I took a peek and I saw The 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uUyJkOhnD
Toxins and BigBang in the lobby heading out. They were going out for 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw44e1LdAA0
lunch instead of ordering it from here. Before I could turn around and 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkLmqoxBKp
head for the back door, I ended up hearing their conversation.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3s9RJApo0
"I wish Sam could have told me what was going on," said Christine.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRNKqADENS
"How could we have known?" Daesung asked. "Sam and I just talked about it yesterday, but she never mentioned G-Dragon."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBULewpy87P
"I'm just surprised that995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KsnSMsUuG
you kissed my sister," said Mike. For some reason, I was surprised that995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFLsPLu69K
he wasn't upset like I thought he would.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU2BrGl8YP
"Well, whatever she did that for," said Taeyang, "she will tell us eventually."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFRE01tJGE
"Should we go back for her and see if she would come with us for lunch?" TOP asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj9VRVmpAs
"No, I bet she wants to be alone for a while," said Seungri.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1MzwMs84a
"I think so too," said 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIJJzmSa6B
Daniel. "But just in case, we would order her and the others a takeout. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA2mTZkEJ9
Sometimes Sam would starve herself without even realising it."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrdsTBmD2f
The next thing I knew, their voices became distant. I peeked again and I saw that they had already walked out of the lobby.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvzCDCIFhR
I was expecting them to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICUCsU3uWR
be mad and all, but they didn't seem like they were. Maybe they were 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiaCcZQf2t
just hiding it and they would throw all of their anger on me later on. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTieB9EiHmv
Who knows?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkRIQKqdAz
Throwing that thought 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpROYd6e70
out of my head, I quickly went back down the hall, heading for the back 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKMNbsmuPP
door. I hope it wasn't locked. I swung the door and it opened. Lucky me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuehK1mKszZ
Now I had to wait for Lee to show up.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9avoWN9ww
There were still more 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG3tcF6eFy
vehicles parked at the back of the building. Some of which were delivery995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B7XHBJoGI
trucks. I waited for Lee on the slab with my back leaning against the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgotlHOY0Xb
wall. I could hear the sound of the vehicle's engine coming from the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wzvJ40oAH
front and I knew the others were leaving until I heard the noise fade 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5nURtssEm
away.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B3qf6ndaj
In what seemed like 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2wGzbPm1a
forever, Lee appeared around the corner of the building with her 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGKuaBakjC
handbag. When she spotted me, she quickened her steps.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilqJ1fhTUw
"It's about time," I said with my arms folded.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuii1KYqTYv
"Don't act all grumpy on me," said Lee. "So as to let you know, finding what you wanted wasn't all that easy."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlaXBzaSiT
"Okay, thanks," I said as Lee gave me her bag and I gave her my crown and purse to hold. "Hold this."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxMGMnNRO3
"Oh, wow!" Lee marvelled as she looked at my crown. "Who gave this to you?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBYmwJwvvb
"Seungri," I answered as I rummaged through the bag to get the items out.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJjp5feRxZ
"This is so pretty. These diamonds look so real."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DWsIxp7jl
"They are," I said as I put the blue baseball cap on.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fv4mkXPxd
"So sweet of him to do this," said Lee. She looked at me. "Are they all still inside?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5blcP4qfCE
"They have gone out for 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUbs1nD1YS
lunch. But Zoey and G-Dragon are talking in the studio. Hopefully things995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14Ba5t4szG
will work out okay. Though I highly doubt it will."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA5On3xaoP
"Things are really bad, huh?" Lee asked with a sad expression on her face.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWvBoiIiZW
"Ya. And they are about 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp79jsMSdG
to get a whole lot worse. Wish me luck." I put on the sunglasses and the995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEZimayaBb
light scarf around my neck. Lee gave me back my purse.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSSQ2RKrg7
"Okay. Tell me how everything goes," said Lee. "Want me to escort you out of the gate?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72bxCzs1nq
"Ya, that will be a good995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hhhp6IXvx
idea," I said. "Leaving me alone would be dangerous and who knows what 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFtK6Kvpxo
the guards might think when they see me."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0SzlC93GL
Lee and I started to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTgXGDYG6A
walk and we turned around the corner finding ourselves back at the front995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHMgc0h5T4
parking lot. As we were heading towards the gate, Lee started some 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLmHRftUP9
random conversation and I played along making sure not to look 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5Q7aekAlM
suspicious in front of the guards who didn't seem to be paying much 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmMkAmvBfz
attention. I made sure that they didn't notice my face.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhEWMYw7ZK
When I finally managed 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmhUzWKqT8
to get out of the gate, Lee wished me luck. I nodded my head and walked 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM1U9VEd09
away from the YG gate and down the street.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIDb8wkU2n
I had to admit, I was so995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7WsbjReeh
scared. For one reason, I had no idea where I was going since I hadn't 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSccwASd9Fh
fully known the place and this was the first time I had to walk around 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5bk8JG5OL
in the streets by myself. Going around alone was too dangerous for me 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqJ14gzgow
and I was crazy to think I would manage on my own.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW0OoEQJh9
After walking a few 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOvnxBHs6i
blocks away from YG, I reached the crosswords and I stopped at the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4z6tNsAin
traffic walking sign. I looked around and so far, no one had recognised 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtaU5EDHOO
me under my little disguise. When the robot indicated 'walk' I crossed 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSVFjy1UtW
the road with a few people and got to the other side of the street.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90QeJkhuYE
As I walked, passing a shoe shop, I took my phone out from my purse and called the unknown man.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GcS8GbL6v
"Ah, you finally called," said the stranger who had answered after the first ring. "I've been waiting."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTuVfhyEVt
"Ya, I figured," I said, looking around hoping that no one noticed me but the cap hid my face995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1YIKKXSFH
pretty well. "I've no idea where to meet you and I'm not so familiar with the place."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElnDthdWBU
"Not to worry, dear. I already see you. Nice disguise by the way. I can hardly tell it is you under that baseball cap."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJymUwWRSow
I froze as I soon looked995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDiFNWPUVA
left and right and across the street hoping to see him. But I couldn't 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZcfqAkdr6
spot out any French native among the midst of Koreans. Feeling a little 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33KQjKDhtd
out of place, I figured I might just be the odd one around here too.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUdgJCmk4T
I heard him laugh 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiIR6fgVip
through the phone and I could tell he was making fun of me. "Not to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePaDQ6RDth
worry, Sam. Be careful or you might just blow your cover."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmaZxMj49h
I gritted my teeth. "Just show yourself. Where are you?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg1GCunThQ
"I'm right here."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRjXTvXi08
"Right where?" I looked around and still nothing. People walked past me and I got frustrated. "Don't try play games with-"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuzD22wqQG
My sentence was cut 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1OiFfUlph
short when down the road, a fancy black shiny Bugatti parked at the edge995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Tg3WV2Xs
of the concrete slab right in front of me. I looked on with my mouth 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehueasNpOb
agape. I have always admired fancy cars but this was one hell of a ride.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH1hIJY4Ls
A smartly dressed 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOlOE4my2Z
looking chauffeur came out of the driver's seat and came to my side. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsInvK9A445
With his white gloved hand, he opened the door to the passenger's seat.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwcLfRqo12
"You may go in, mademoiselle," said the driver in deep French accent, as he bowed.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NA39J6IiW
At first I was dumbfounded and I didn't know whether to run and head back to YG, or just go in and get this over with.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjOVrNZCqA
A few heads turned my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e2bd6qSwv
way and I could only imagine what people must think of a Bugatti and a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVdc0pmADu
smartly dressed chauffeur waiting for me to go in. Strange, I suppose 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOolJhUsVNa
and a little suspicious too.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV6XMH1cFP
I managed to awake from 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UqYVS01GA
my slumber and got in the car before people fully start to look at me 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhA5pjxiQm
and figure out who I was. As I got in, a nice car smell wafted in the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfZuQes0nJ
air and into my nostrils. The chauffeur closed the door and went to the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BsDyDGjyj
driver's seat.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu1feo701b
"Samantha Glasson, nice to finally meet you at last," came a deep voice.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVonv11vepv
With my eyes, I looked 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnirvW9CuN
at the person sitting right beside me in the passenger's seat. For a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN592uefPIF
moment, I was scared. But when I looked at the man fully, my face fell.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXNTvMYZkL
He looked to be in the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIarcGFfRaV
same age group as me but maybe two years older. I guessed in my head 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKwBvbS03O
that he must be 24 or 25. He had gorgeous blue eyes like the colour of 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IwdTPR87n
the sea and brown short curly hair. His dashing lips were lifted up into995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91xN6J3pUH
a smile and under that navy blue suit of his, I could tell he was one 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkH7JqgnXR
who had one heck of a body.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgigIDVqc7F
I hadn't said a word and995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv2VVgg8Ml
the car started to drive down the road when the young man offered his 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT3bvW1Ovj
open hand. I stared at it and noticed a shiny gold Rolex on his left 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6ozH3nRRD
wrist. Who was this guy?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNBz4XyTXP
"Aren't we going to shake hands?" he asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW791KzfpnM
I opened my mouth but 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR2I4biiry
then closed it again knowing that it was pointless to argue. I took his 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oioKzrJBa
hand and shook it, scared that I might receive a shocking zap from the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOAu3fKqdH
contact.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTO3XH1u8T
"And you must be the guy I was talking to over the phone?" I asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFdOq6UIB6
"Yes, a pleasure to meet995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY2yRL3dI3
your acquaintance." He lightly pressed his lips on the back of my palm 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UJ7n1YIKF
and I blushed as I slowly withdrew my hand.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX0ab2y4Tr
"I'm sorry we had to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ008K6tzuc8
meet under such awkward circumstances," he said as he leaned back in the995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1WOgJXRsm
fancy leathered seats. "But I needed to talk to you, and fast."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMkZZmnI6y
I looked at him and 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXwx6M9r6N
realised that all his was just too surreal. This wasn't what I was 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbITX2lm0tB
expecting. I was expecting a man much older than me and rafia looking. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zaw6jCHU0
This guy right beside me looked like one of those handsome Greek gods we995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj77iniCWxB
hear about in mythical tales.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cl5moLLqs
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked with the corner of his lips raised up to a smile.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUKXAINFIc
"I...uh." Yikes! I was 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldDzxBcjjY
caught looking at him. I blushed and turned to face the window beside 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPII5yct2yY
me. "Nothing. This wasn't what I was expecting."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaRzHZa58i
There was silence and I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnK5c3KzjI
didn't want to look at him. He was obviously looking at me and that made995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50PjNwolCR
me play around with my fingers because I was nervous. Then I realised 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3Gj3jOosH
something.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i3xOzLyUc
"You never told me your name," I said as I looked at him. Dang it! I wasn't supposed to look at him.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1VAGsq3wb
"Oh, silly me. Where are my manners? I'm Derrick."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5Fl1EdLjk
"That's a weird name, given that you're French."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsukb3JiMn4
"I was born in the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRr4Go63Iv
States and my parents preferred giving me this name even though they are995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAju8Nhcmz
both French. I grew up in France almost my whole life and my parents 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbPhgu990b
are people who like to travel a lot for business. Building their 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQnDoqMYkD
business empire is what's so important to them."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgCJ6I5lOO
"I can clearly see that," I said as I wondrously looked around in the car.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVhbpKZdxU
My expression might have amused him because he chuckled. I blushed as I pushed my glasses further up my nose and folded my arms.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeQp5iNeNa
"This is going to be fun," he said to himself.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiQbfBxr5P
I changed the topic. "About the photo, why did you want to see me?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rbGEcwd19
"Can we talk about this over lunch?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNAr6dhU0G
"Lunch?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mfkbgHSmF
"Yes, lunch."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgbf5BOtYw
A moment ago, I wasn't in the mood for lunch. But now that he mentioned it, I was starving.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK4Njl9BpI
"Lunch sounds good. But not in the open. I don't want to grab any attention."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggTjET2C9N
"Of course. I figured you would want that. Given that no one knows where you are anyway."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQUGn11PvW
I raised an eyebrow at 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGJA08toIP
him. "You've been following me the whole time, haven't you? That's how 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqoxLYDE8M
you have been able to find me on the street."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrALA95Rjtu
He gave me that dashing 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtU2GtaWm6
smile of his. "Of course. I just had to. I knew sooner or later that we 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8veWNquH5
would meet. I had to come prepared."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyhdEyMAtX
"That's sounds creepy if you ask me," I said as looked out the window. "So, where are we going?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NHe8Exvnu
"My apartment. It's much safer there."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nJGKS91Q1
"You own an apartment?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBUu8btToS
"Like I said, my parents travel around for world and South Korea, is one of their favourite spots."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4QrdeiJDI
"So, it's their apartment then and not yours."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7ntuvEP6S
"They have their own apartment and I have mine."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8iCWU113e
"Oh." I couldn't help but feel embarrassed.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZTz2MoHQA
"Here we are now," said Derrick as he looked out of the car window on his side and followed suit.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAsMYaAELN
It was a huge apartment 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHCxMtffqT
building kind of like the ones famous people live in. The car took a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYUi4ZcKSz
turn and went down the road to an underground parking lot.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisSMxAmERC
After the car parked, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBG3LhVoGT
the chauffeur quickly came out and opened the car door on Derrick's 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8emOWzUEUj
side. Derrick came out and I followed. Before I could step out of the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbSmWEiwve
car, Derrick held out his hand to help me out. I took his hand and I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKjxUPoK46
came out of the car.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm4M8RF7nd
Derrick lead the way, 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZYI9uChBX
still holding my hand, to the elevator and the chauffeur stayed behind 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD26iwOnN6w
with the car as he watched us go. I couldn't help but feel that the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JLpjLrgvF
chauffeur had been smiling at us from the time we got out of the car.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MtfVxwvej
Derrick pressed the elevator button and when they drew open, we stepped in at the same time.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9wUxSmrUn
When the door closed, I withdrew my hand from his. He pressed the button to his floor and I felt the elevator move.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TaI4UusmX
"So, about that photo, I need to know what's going on," I said as stared at the floor.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfo7TWeW90
"What do you want to know?" Derrick asked. I could feel his eyes on me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhbZwPxWtS
"Everything," I said as I looked at him. "But one thing I don't get is why you're involving me in all this."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUEofy9nAI
"But don't you want to know what's going on?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztHhIb77Lf
"Well, ya, I do! You're 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhjyo3tkx8
the one who sent me the photo so I'm curious. Do you know what? It was 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHJ6wtoApL
best you didn't send it to me in the first place."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsIhZvnxvR
"Why?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbR4m8hKbz
"Maybe then I wouldn't be here."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnVVvWLkrm
The elevator doors flew 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF3TJuIsLK
open and in front of me was a lavishly looking hall. The white painted 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWciiJPGN3h
hall and the bright lighting above made the hall look angelic that if 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe9pMNN94i
you were to see it for yourself, you would think you had just stepped 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLg3FGpKQ6B
into heaven.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwKNeYDMnX
I stepped out of the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSSgqlscb8
elevator and beautiful paintings lined up the walls. I noticed that the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9NVaGChYH
doors leading to other people's apartments were white doors with fancy 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0hKavlEe1
looking gold plated handles. The floor of the hall was covered with a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpEazrCxzm
soft red carpet.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0LcKv48q7
"This place looks nice," I said as I walked down the hall.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWP6zMIQVP
"I know," said Derrick as he came up behind me. "My apartment is the door at the end of the hall."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegnLsU77oY
I looked down the hall 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrEs7QuNs3
and there stood two huge white doors. I walked up to it and just as I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCFKC1umYM
was about to turn and look at Derrick, the right door flew open and in 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwo0jmk2rC
front of me stood a smartly dressed butler. It's like he knew I was 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBEXv3NTEV
coming.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJomzPUksWo
"Welcome, mademoiselle," said the butler as he stepped aside and and with his hand, he gestured to come in.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3lvzpg9Vz
For a moment, I hesitated. Until I felt Derrick behind me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3sXwmBr36
"Ladies first," said Derrick.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1ijuorgCG
I gulped and took a step into his apartment.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8THGWWKzdc
"This place is very 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A24Pmktj8
nice," I said when I looked around the foyer and I when turned round the995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLbZdcJj5G
corner, there was lavishly looking sitting room with creamed coloured 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHu2N8iquo
sofas with a glass coffee table and I huge smart screen TV pinned on the995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1v5ODxrHN
wall.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1yj4g90jQ
I looked to the other 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLTnNMRL2C
side and there was a fancy looking table with a beautuful chandelier 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG57BaTRv1
above it. Beautiful artistic pictures filled the place and there were 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqil7nLMkRb
beautiful flower vases with orchids.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFPIc9dfMw
"I see you like 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx1ERF7olF
orchids," I said as I went over to the flower vase close to the sitting 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXjBtL72DF
area and looked at the orchids. They were fresh and lovely.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGDkiakd9j
"I know you like roses," said Derrick as he stared at me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYPDvsQljf
"Almost everything that celebrities like and don't like are always found on the internet." I rolled my eyes at him.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7e0tHcxgd
"True, but I can tell what a woman likes and doesn't."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VmVhaAiGP
I gave him a smile that showed how impressed I was.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsi2Gnz9ki
"Lunch is ready, sir," said the butler. "Should I serve the food?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74oEjZDIjO
"Yes, please," sad Derrick.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAAkgvm7NC
The butler bowed and 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDQwTbpwtW
left for the kitchen. I continued to look around and I went over by the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCm7hxjOSw
windows to look down at the city below. We were so high above the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXtoandftw
ground.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5txyBjYkHx
"Is it just me or are we on the last floor of this building?" I asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZwAS2mA3K
"We are," said Derrick who came to join me by the window. "This place is lovely, isn't it?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwL1FIqQZS
"Ya, it surly is." I knew he meant Seoul.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZuwzK9tkg
"Food is ready, Master Derrick," came the butler behind us.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBGDXmewxA
"Shall we?" Derrick gestured his hand towards the dining table and I walked up to it with him following behind me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBaOkpKgdV
As we got to the dining 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQgOJHfAQ1
table, Derrick pushed back a chair for me and I took my seat, removing 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUVTdkE7uM
my glasses and cap putting the glasses in my purse. I said thank you and995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrdvsC0F7z
he sat at the head of the table right next to mine.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdYjrsWGpj
The butler had served 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtEJssbRcu
our plates on the table and just by looking at the cutlery and napkins 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZbgU2HyMk
laid and folded neatly I couldn't help but feel I was in some kind of 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpFYfUcH1i
fancy fairytale. The table was set to perfection and the wine glasses 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡderKrjyqQB
next to the plates were spotless.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1xBXOjkX3
Dishes of food were 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxv8Z8Z1Gq
lined in the middle of the table and my mouth couldn't help but water. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0wLADhs36
If I wasn't in such an elegant apartment, I would have just dug in and 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRDSCMVcEH
started to eat. I was really hungry. But for now, I had to act like a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6eAU41EG6
lady.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppKiaZ48nX
The butler helped to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jSsht2QIj
serve the food and I didn't hesitate eating right there and then. I made995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIdnJhAjJb
sure not to eat too much and take my time.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR6PE16vbL
"This was really good," I said, after I was done with my food.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx90pOLEYT
"France's finest traditional dishes," said Derrick with a smile.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR9coREJ61
"Now, about the issue at995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5BM9ZcKic
hand," I said, wiping the corner of my mouth with a napkin as the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dxZXBbFKT
butler came to take away my plate and also Derrick's.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6ROymcHCY
"Let's talk then," said Derrick.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fY6g9pIWZ
"First of all, I need to know why you sent it to me."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOzgBXaFRO
"Because as much as you don't want to get involved, it concerns you more than you can ever imagine."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRWlCVQZjN
I shook my head as I got my purse and removed my phone. I went to the gallery and checked out the photo.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI9EHHBqwF
"How does this have to do with me?" I asked as I showed him the photo.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUojj0lBtfB
The photo showed Zoey in995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchcVMASY6o
a some place that looked like a garden or a park and in front of her 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhLxppFRGF
stood a man I couldn't recognise. His face was hidden because his back 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9GN5OY6Av
faced the camera and whoever had taken the photo, took it behind some 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffeUgAkVHs
bushes so it was hard to make out who he was. But there was something 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbICjvr8t5
completely odd about what I saw in the photo.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKYXVNO1il
"I know this isn't 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajyS2pNuny
really supposed to concern me," I said as Derrick looked at the photo 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P08SVH7QG
and then back at me. "Who was Zoey with?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2ilvl8VXh
"That's my brother," Derrick answered.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0rPkoDG4h
Now that was a surprise. Derrick had a brother?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLApytI5en7
"Wait? Brother?" I raised an eyebrow.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDGMxUStvB
"Sadly, yes," said Derrick clearing his throat.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjj1s1a1NF
I looked at the photo 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgvfvDmASY
again. "So, you're saying that, this happened the time Zoey went to 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxQzJM7o7f
Paris with G-Dragon and the others? And this person in the photo is your995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5svIPmh998
brother?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M0ZIvzat1
I still couldn't believe it when Derrick nodded his head at me.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCernhvHO6y
"You never told me you had a brother," I said, looking at Derrick.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuK6dOSkJZ
"We don't really get along," said Derrick.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEkAKnd6NI
"That figures," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Why?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvmOacKWkg
"We have been different from each other since we were kids. You can't even tell that he and I are brothers."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgNOrmvx2Y
"So, what's do you think he wants with Zoey?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbJmByHGi7
"I have no idea but I know it's something serious."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6QGoYYPUY
"So, you're just assuming all this or what?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYQJzkJ7FI
"I know my brother very 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO0pcJCvIL
well. I know something is going on between the two of them. I had my 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLOJk9LEam
suspicions during the Chanel fashion show."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uKRgz66RJ
I then remembered the 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2KYrx2J4h
time Zoey came back to Korea the following day after the fashion show. 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAnj6VNQqD
She was acting all weird and the way she had hugged me surprised me a 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO23u0COVYx
little. And so did the others. Were these guys really in trouble?995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqxDdISuID
"Are my brothers and Christine involved in this too?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL4U50tbMv
"I can't be too sure. You have to ask them."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrWBfl9AYu
"But that's strange. If 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VJsaplIE7
it's something so serious as you put it, they would have told me. I 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89fePxdqfT
don't see the reason why they would hide."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjGVt0lHsY
"If it's anything concerning my brother, I suggest you find out what's going on and fast. I don't like it."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhky65N84r3
"But what if all this isn't that serious? In fact, what makes you think your brother is that dangerous enough to hurt us?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X14DJvOcD
Derrick leaned back on his chair as he looked at me and I waited for him to answer.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF9GMfWSfd
"My brother isn't one person to mess around with. He is one person who threatens when things don't go his way."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XfGLzxwOd
"You think he is threatening Zoey?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ea2iBv992
"He did visit Zoey in that café, didn't he?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsWG56HCOA
"Wait! That was him?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbu4ARVifD
"Yes. I was there."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroy3DPwcje
"You were there too?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfo0TJ8QEb
"Yes. That's when I thought you should help me out with this."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvNRVj3dUY
"But what if I can't?" I folded my arms995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSRW2RyMD1
"Zoey is your best friend, isn't she?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SXjV0myuH
"She is."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqWQB4ZGSN
"And wouldn't you like to help her out?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqOXbYxz6d
I was frustrated with the questions. "I would. But if she didn't tell me, then maybe it's not that serious."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oHC52jGBZ
"And do you really think she would?"995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ1RA0q7V5
I thought about his 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15Dgy12mhQ
question for a moment. He was right. Some people wouldn't tell the truth995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkRt4PY7LE
just to prevent the ones they love from getting hurt. Maybe that's what995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb5OM5e1xo
Zoey did and I was too silly not to have realised it sooner.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1QRab02Zk
"You're right," I said as I looked at my hands on my lap. She wasn't the only one who kept secrets.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHziiuvXwgc
"Have you tried talking to your brother about this?" I asked.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYJf2bPK4Z
"No. He doesn't know that I'm onto him. And knowing how he is, he isn't going to tell me anything."995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLc1bQU6p5
I tapped my fingers on the table and I took the glass of water that was next to me and I drank.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmQuVtR2ES
I had to think of something fast and I was running out of time. I had to get back to the studio within thirty minutes.995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGlBeYi9dJ
"Before I go, tell me 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqODy3bear
all you know about what happened in Paris," I said as I looked at 995Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXLT2sjoIo
Derrick, giving him the eye. "And don't leave anything out."
